THIS DEED OF GUARANTEE is dated [                   ]
2008 and made between:


 


(1)         PUBLIC
JOINT-STOCK COMPANY “WIMM-BILL-DANN BEVERAGES” (the “Guarantor”);
and


 


(2)         ING
BANK N.V., LONDON BRANCH as agent of the other Finance Parties (the “Agent”).


 


BACKGROUND


 


(A)        The
Guarantor is entering into this Deed in connection with the Finance Documents.


 


(B)         The
Agent and the Guarantor intend this document to take effect as a deed (even
though the Agent only executes it under hand).


 


(C)         The
Agent is entering into this Deed on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the
Finance Parties.


 


IT IS AGREED as follows:


 


1.           DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION


 


1.1         Definitions

contrary indication appears, a term defined in the Facility Agreement has the
same meaning in this Deed. In addition, in this Deed:


 


“Borrower” means
Open Joint Stock Company “Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods”.


 


“Facility Agreement”
means the USD 250,000,00 facility agreement dated on or about the date of this
Deed between the Borrower, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., CALYON and ING Bank N.V. as
mandated lead arrangers, the Lenders (as defined therein) and the Agent.


 


“Party” means a
party to this Deed.


 


“Repeating Representations”
means each of the representations set out in Clauses 7.1 (Status)
to 7.6 (Governing law and enforcement), 7.9 (No default) to 7.13 (No proceedings pending or
threatened) and 7.17 (Taxes).


 


(b)         Any
reference in this Deed to a “Finance Document”
or any other agreement or instrument is a reference to that Finance Document or
other agreement or instrument as amended, novated, supplemented, extended,
restated (however fundamentally and whether or not more onerously) or replaced
and includes any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in
any facility or the addition of any new facility under that Finance Document or
other agreement or instrument.


 


(c)         The
principles of construction set out in clause 1.2 (Construction)
of the Facility Agreement shall have effect as if set out in this Deed.


 


1.2         Clauses


 


In this Deed any reference to a “Clause” or a “Schedule” is,
unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to a Clause of or a Schedule
to this Deed.


 


1

















 


1.3         Third
Party Rights


 


Subject to the remaining provisions of this Clause, a person
who is not a Party has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties)
Act 1999 (the “Third Parties Act”) to enforce or
to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Deed. The Finance Parties through the
Agent may enforce and rely on the terms of this Deed in accordance with the
terms of this Deed and the Third Parties Act as if they were parties to this
Deed.


 


1.4         Company
as agent


 


The Guarantor authorises and instructs the Borrower to sign,
despatch and/or receive as its agent all documents and notices to be signed,
dispatched and/or received by the Guarantor, and to take as its agent any other
action necessary or desirable, under or in connection with the Finance
Documents.


 


2.           GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY


 


2.1         Guarantee
and indemnity


 


The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:


 


(a)            guarantees
to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Obligor of all of that
Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;


 


(b)           undertakes
with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor does not pay any amount
when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, the Guarantor shall
immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and


 


(c)            agrees
with each Finance Party that if, for any reason, any amount claimed by a
Finance Party under this Clause 2 is not recoverable on the basis of a
guarantee, it will be liable to indemnify that Finance Party against any cost,
loss or liability it incurs as a result of any Obligor not paying any amount
when due under or in connection with any Finance Document.  The amount payable by the Guarantor under
this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this
Clause 2 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a
guarantee.


 


2.2         Continuing
guarantee


 


This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to
the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance
Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in
part.


 


2.3         Reinstatement


 


If as a result of insolvency or any similar event:


 


(a)            any
payment by an Obligor is avoided, reduced or must be restored; or


 


(b)           any
discharge or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of an Obligor
or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part
on the basis of any payment, security or other thing which is avoided, reduced
or must be restored:


 


(i)           the
liability of the Guarantor shall continue or be reinstated as if the payment,
discharge, avoidance, arrangement or reduction had not occurred; and


 


2

















 


(ii)          each
Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security
or payment from the Guarantor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or
reduction had not occurred.


 


2.4         Waiver
of defences


 


The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 2 will
not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this
Clause 2 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance
Party) including:


 


(a)            any time,
waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or any other
person;


 


(b)                                  the release of any Obligor or any other person under the terms of
any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;


 


(c)            the
taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or
neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over
assets of, any Obligor or any other person or any non-presentation or
non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any
instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;


 


(d)                                  any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of
or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Obligor or any other
person;


 


(e)            any amendment, novation, supplement, extension,
restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or
replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including
any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility
or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other
document or security;


 


(f)                                     any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of
any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or


 


(g)           any
insolvency or similar proceedings.


 


2.5         Immediate
recourse


 


The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first
requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed
against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any
person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 2.  This waiver applies irrespective of any law
or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.


 


2.6         Appropriations


 


Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the
Borrower under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its
behalf) may:


 


(a)            refrain
from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or
received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in
respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and
order as it sees fit (whether against 


 


3

















 


those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall
not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and


 


(b)                                  hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received
from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause
2.


 


2.7         Deferral
of Guarantor’s rights


 


Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the
Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor
will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it
of its obligations under the Finance Documents:


 


(a)            to be
indemnified by an Obligor;


 


(b)                                  to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the Borrower’s
obligations under the Finance Documents; and/or


 


(c)            to
take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or
otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or
of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with,
the Finance Documents by any Finance Party.


 


If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or
distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or
distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or
become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection
with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance
Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the
Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment mechanics) of the Facility Agreement.


 


2.8         Additional
security


 


This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way
prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any
Finance Party.


 


3.           INTEREST


 


3.1         Default
interest


 


If the Guarantor fails to pay any amount payable by it under
this Deed on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the
due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a
rate which is the sum of 2 per cent and the rate which would have been payable
under the Facility Agreement if the overdue amount had, during the period of
non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for
successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting
reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 3.1 shall be immediately
payable by the Guarantor on demand by the Agent.


 


3.2         Compounding


 


Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount
will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period
applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.


 


4

















 


4.           TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES


 


4.1         Tax
gross-up


 


(a)         The
Guarantor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction,
unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.


 


(b)                           The Guarantor shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a
Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction)
notify the Agent accordingly.  Similarly,
the Agent shall notify the Guarantor on becoming so aware in respect of a
payment payable to it or any Finance Party.


 


(c)                            If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Guarantor,
the amount of the payment due from the Guarantor shall be increased to an
amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the
payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.


 


(d)                           If the Guarantor is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Guarantor
shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that
Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by
law.


 


(e)                            Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required
in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the Tax Deduction has been
made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing
authority.


 


4.2         Stamp
taxes


 


The Guarantor shall pay and, within three Business Days of
demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that
Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other
similar Taxes payable in respect of this Deed.


 


4.3         Value
added tax


 


(a)         All
amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any
party to a Finance Document which (in whole or in part) constitute the
consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which
is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (c) below,
if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under
a Finance Document, that party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and
at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of
the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT
invoice to such party).


 


(b)         If VAT
is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and
any party to a Finance Document (the “Relevant
Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an
amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than
being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration),
such party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time
as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient
will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or
repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines
relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.


 


5

















 


Where a Finance Document requires any party thereto to
reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at
the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by
the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the
Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any
group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or
repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.


 


5.           OTHER INDEMNITIES


 


5.1                           Currency indemnity


 


(a)                            If any sum due from the Guarantor under the Finance Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in
relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another
currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose
of:


 


(i)             making
or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor;


 


(ii)            obtaining
or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or
arbitration proceedings,


 


the Guarantor shall as an independent obligation, within
five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to which that Sum is
due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the
conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used
to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the
rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt
of that Sum.


 


(b)         The
Guarantor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount
under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in
which it is expressed to be payable.


 


5.2         Indemnities
separate


 


Each indemnity in each Finance Document shall:


 


(a)            constitute
a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations in that or any
other Finance Document;


 


(b)                                  give rise to a separate and independent cause of action;


 


(c)                                   apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Finance Party;


 


(d)                                  continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim
or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Finance
Document or any other judgment or order; and


 


(e)                                   apply whether or not any claim under it relates to any matter
disclosed by the Guarantor or otherwise known to any Finance Party.


 


6.           ENFORCEMENT COSTS


 


To the extent not paid by the Borrower, the Guarantor shall,
within five Business Days of demand, pay the Agent the amount of all costs and
expenses (including legal fees) incurred by 


 


6

















 


the Agent in connection with the enforcement of, or the
preservation of any rights under, any Finance Document.


 


7.           REPRESENTATIONS

any of its Subsidiaries’ constitutional or other internal documents; or

nor result in the existence of, or oblige it to create, any
Security over any of its or its Subsidiaries’ assets. For the avoidance for
doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, guaranteeing the
Total Commitments will not cause any guaranteeing limit binding upon it to be
exceeded nor will such guaranteeing or the entry into this Deed oblige it to
enter into any subordination agreement in respect thereof.


 


7.4         Power
and authority


 


(a)                            It has the power to enter into, perform and deliver, and has taken

this Deed and the transactions contemplated thereby.


 


(b)         Without
limiting the generality of paragraph (a) above, this Deed, and the

default


 


(a)         No
Default is continuing or might reasonably be expected to result from the making

event or circumstance is outstanding which constitutes a default under any

or to which its (or any of its Subsidiaries’) assets are subject which might
have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


7.10       No
misleading information


 


(a)                            Any factual information provided by or on behalf of it in writing in
connection with any Finance Document (including, without limitation, the Agreed
Reorganisation Memorandum) was true and accurate in all material respects as at
the date it was provided or as at the date (if any) at which it is stated.


 


(b)         Any
financial projections contained in any written information provided by or on
behalf of it to any Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document have
been prepared on the basis of recent historical information and on the basis of

financial condition since the date of its Original Financial Statements.


 


7.12       Pari passu

unsubordinated creditors, except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law
applying to companies generally.


 


7.13       No
proceedings pending or threatened


 


Save as fully, fairly and specifically disclosed to the
Agent in writing prior to the date of this Deed and except for any frivolous or

This Agreement is governed by English law.


 


13.                         ENFORCEMENT


 


13.1                   Arbitration


 


Subject to Clause 13.4 (Agent’s
option), any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed
(including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this
Deed) (a “Dispute”) shall be referred to and
finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”).


 


13.2                   Procedure for arbitration


 


(a)                          The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The claimant(s),
irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one arbitrator; the
respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly the second
arbitrator; and a third arbitrator, who shall serve as Chairman (who shall be a
lawyer currently qualified in England and Wales and be admitted to the Bar of
England and Wales), shall be appointed by the LCIA Court as soon as possible
and, in any event, within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.


 


(b)                         In the event the claimant(s) or the respondent(s) shall fail to
nominate an arbitrator within the time limits specified in the Rules, such
arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court as soon as possible and, in any
event, within 15 days of such failure. In the event that both the claimant(s) and
the respondent(s) fail to nominate an arbitrator within the time limits
specified in the Rules, all three arbitrators shall be appointed by the LCIA
Court as soon as possible and, in any event, within 15 days of such failure who
shall designate one of them as chairman.


 


(c)                          If all the parties to an arbitration so agree, there shall be a sole
arbitrator appointed by the LCIA Court as soon as possible and, in any event, within
15 days of such agreement.


 


(d)                         The seat of arbitration shall be London, England, and the language of the
arbitration shall be English.


 


(e)                          Where disputes arise under this Deed and/or any other Finance Document
which, in the reasonable opinion of the first arbitrator to be appointed by a
Finance Party in any of the 


 


15

















 


disputes, are so closely connected that it is
expedient for them to be resolved in the same proceedings, that arbitrator
shall have the power to order that the proceedings to resolve that dispute
shall be consolidated with those to resolve any of the other disputes (whether
or not proceedings to resolve those other disputes have been instituted), provided that no date for the final hearing of the first
arbitration has been fixed. If he so orders, the parties to each dispute which
is subject to his order shall be treated as having consented to that dispute
being finally decided:


 


(i)                                    by the arbitrator who ordered the consolidation unless the LCIA Court
decides that he would not be suitable or impartial; and


 


(ii)                                 in accordance with the procedure, at the seat and in the language
specified in the arbitration agreement in the contract under which the
arbitrator who ordered the consolidation was appointed, save as otherwise
agreed by all parties to the consolidated proceedings or, in the absence of
such agreement, ordered by the arbitrator in the consolidated proceedings.


 


13.3                   Recourse to courts


 


Save as provided in Clause 13.4 (Agent’s option), the parties exclude the jurisdiction of the
courts under Sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996.


 


13.4                   Agent’s option


 


Before an arbitrator has been appointed by a Finance
Party to determine a Dispute, the Agent may (and, if so directed by the Majority
Lenders shall) by notice in writing to the Guarantor require that all Disputes
or a specific Dispute be heard by a court of law. If the Agent gives such
notice, the Dispute to which such notice refers shall be determined in
accordance with Clause 13.5 (Jurisdiction).


 


13.5                   Jurisdiction


 


(a)                          Subject to Clause 13.1 (Arbitration),
the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all Disputes.


 


(b)                         The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and
convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the
contrary.


 


(c)                          This Clause 13.5 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a
result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to
a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law,
the Finance Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of
jurisdictions.


 


13.6                   Service of process


 


Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed
under any relevant law, the Guarantor:


 


(a)                                  irrevocably appoints Clifford Chance Secretaries Limited of 10 Upper Bank
Street, London E14 5JJ, United Kingdom as its agent for service of process in
relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any
Finance Document governed by English law; and


 


16

















 


(b)                                 agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Guarantor of the
process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.


 


13.7                   Waiver of immunity


 


The Guarantor irrevocably agrees that, should any party
take any proceedings anywhere (whether for an injunction, specific performance,
damages or otherwise), no immunity (to the extent that it may at any time
exist, whether on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from those proceedings,
from attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) of
its assets or from execution of judgment shall be claimed by it or on behalf of
it or with respect to its assets, any such immunity being irrevocably waived.
The Guarantor irrevocably agrees that it and its assets are, and shall be,
subject to such proceedings, attachment or execution in respect of its
obligations under the Finance Documents.


 


IN WITNESS whereof this Deed has been executed and
delivered and is intended to be delivered as a deed on the date first stated
above.
