In determining whether the conditions described in this Article VIII are satisfied, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on a written certificate delivered by the applicable Beneficiary and the applicable Beneficiary Representative to the effect that such conditions are satisfied, provided that such certificate is also delivered to the other Beneficiary Representative hereunder.

Section 8.02. Third Party Transfers. A Beneficiary may Transfer (a) its beneficial interest in any Trust Shares to one or more third party transferees other than a Permitted Transferee (each, a "Third Party Transferee") provided that such Transfer constitutes a Permitted Encumbrance or a Permitted Hedge and/or (b) its beneficial interest in Trust Shares that are Company Shares to a Third Party Transferee provided that prior to such Transfer such Company Shares are converted as permitted pursuant to Article Sixth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation so that the Third Party Transferee receives only shares of Class B Common Stock.

Following any such conversion and Transfer described in clause (b), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all other Trust Shares not subject to such Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 8.02), each Molson Family Group Beneficiary agrees that it shall not be permitted to make a Transfer of its beneficial interests in Trust Shares under this Section 8.02 nor convert any Company Shares to Class B Common Stock if, giving effect to such Transfer or the requisite conversion, the Company Shares remaining subject to this Agreement, together with any Class A Exchangeable Shares (and associated rights) subject to the Canadian Voting Trust Agreement, would constitute in the aggregate less than 50.1% of the aggregate voting power of all then-outstanding Company Shares and Class A Exchangeable Shares (and associated rights) unless, at any time prior to such Transfer or conversion, the aggregate number of Company Shares and Class A Exchangeable Shares of the Coors Family Group Beneficiaries deposited under this Agreement and/or the Canadian Voting Trust Agreement is less than 1,260,000 (without duplication, as adjusted by any stock split, consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transactions as a result

of one or more Transfers (and associated conversion into Class B Common Stock or Class B Exchangeable Shares, as applicable) of Company Shares or Class A Exchangeable Shares to a Third Party Transferee. In determining whether the conditions described in this Article VIII are satisfied, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on a written certificate delivered by the applicable Beneficiary and the applicable Beneficiary Representative to the effect that such conditions are satisfied, provided that such certificate is also delivered to the other Beneficiary Representative hereunder.

Section 8.03. Agreement Not to Cause Conversion Right. The Beneficiaries agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Beneficiary shall be permitted to make any sale, transfer or other disposition of any beneficial interest in any Trust Shares if, as a result thereof, any shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company or Class B Exchangeable Shares shall become convertible into Company Shares or Class A Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the provisions of Article Fifth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of Article 16 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, respectively, (ii) in no event shall any Transfer be made pursuant to Section 8.02 if such Transfer would constitute or require an "Exclusionary Offer" (as defined in Article Fifth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of Article 16.1 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions), (iii) unless otherwise expressly instructed in writing unanimously by each of the Beneficiary Representatives in connection with the occurrence of an "Exclusionary Offer" (as defined in Article Fifth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or in Article 16.1 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions), the Trustee is hereby specifically empowered and directed to deliver any and all certificates and other documents pursuant to such Article Fifth or Article 16 as may be necessary or advisable to prevent the Class B Common Stock or Class B Exchangeable Shares from becoming convertible into Company Shares or Class A Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to such Article Fifth or Article 16 and (iv) no Beneficiary shall be permitted to take any actions contrary to any certificate that has been delivered to the Company pursuant to paragraph (i) of Article Fifth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (a "Blocking Certificate") or that would cause any Blocking Certificate to be untrue or invalid. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Trustee acknowledges and advises the Beneficiaries that it is delivering to the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement the Blocking Certificate to be provided to the Trustee by either Beneficiary Representative, and the Trustee further agrees not to rescind or withdraw such Blocking Certificate without the prior written consent of each Beneficiary Representative.

respect of this Voting Trust, in a financial institution in which the Trustee or an agent or advisor to the Trustee may have an interest, notwithstanding that the Trustee and/or its agent or advisor may benefit therefrom and the Trustee shall not be required to account for or to disgorge any such benefit.

Section 9.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

Section 9.09. Severability. If in any judicial proceedings a court shall refuse to enforce any provision of this Agreement, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced. To the full extent, however, that the provisions of any applicable law may be waived, they are hereby waived to the end that this Agreement be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 9.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under, and its validity determined by, the laws of the State of Delaware. The validity and administration of the trust created hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 9.11. Enforcement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of

Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of or under or relates to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or under or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and (d) hereby further and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Beneficiary hereto appoints Corporation Service Company, 2700 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, as its agent upon which process may be served in any such legal action or proceeding. Service of process upon such agent, together with notice of such service given to any Beneficiary in the manner specified in Section 9.04 shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Beneficiary in any legal action or proceeding.

Section 9.12. Remedies. The parties hereto shall have all remedies for breach of this Agreement available to them provided by law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, the parties hereto shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the obligations of each party to this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief and that in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same, no party will urge, as a defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 9.13. Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted transferees, successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third person to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third person any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

Section 9.14. Right of Examination. An executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deposited with the Company at its registered office in the City of Wilmington, Delaware.
