     (b) Classified Board. The Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company
shall provide that, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock

stockholders held during 2009; and (C) a third class consisting initially of four (4) directors
(“Class III”), the initial term of which shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders
held during 2010, with the members of each class to hold office until their successors are elected
and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the successors of the
members of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at



3









 







the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Immediately after the Effective Time,
the Board shall consist of the thirteen individuals listed and allocated to the classes set forth
on Exhibit A.



     (c) Designees. Each of the Family Representative, the CDR Fund, Exor and TPG Entities
shall have the respective rights to designate individuals for nomination for election to the Board,
and the Company shall cause such individuals to be nominated for election to the Board, in each
case as follows:




     (i) The Family Representative shall be entitled to designate one person for nomination
for election to the Board for so long as the Family Stockholders have not Transferred any
shares of Common Stock such that immediately after giving effect to such Transfer they, in
the aggregate, own less than 3% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock, consisting of
one director in Class I (the “Family Designee”) and who at the Effective Time shall
be Jeffrey H. Coors;




     (ii) The CDR Fund shall be entitled to designate one person for nomination for
election to the Board for so long as it has not Transferred any shares of Common Stock such
that immediately after giving effect to such Transfer it owns less than 3% of the Fully
Diluted shares of Common Stock, consisting of one director in Class I (the “CDR
Designee”) and who at the Effective Time shall be Kevin J. Conway;




     (iii) Exor shall be entitled to designate one person for nomination for election to
the Board for so long as it has not Transferred any shares of Common Stock such that

shares of Common Stock, consisting of one director in Class I (the “Exor Designee”)
and who at the Effective Time shall be G. Andrea Botta; and




     (iv) TPG Entities shall be entitled to designate (A) three persons for nomination for
election to the Board for so long as they have not Transferred any shares of Common Stock
such that immediately after giving effect to such Transfer they, in the aggregate, own less
than 20% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock, consisting of one director in each of
Class I, Class II and Class III; (B) two persons for nomination to election to the Board
for so long as they have not Transferred any shares of Common Stock such that immediately

(i) 16% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock or (ii) such amount that the Family
Stockholders own in the aggregate at the time of the relevant Transfer by TPG Entities;
provided, however such amount shall in no case be less than 10% of the Fully Diluted shares
of Common Stock, consisting of one director in each of Class I and Class II; or (C) one
person for nomination to election to the Board for so long as they have not Transferred any
shares of Common Stock such that immediately after giving effect to such Transfer they, in
the aggregate, own less



4

(collectively, the “TPG Designees”).



     (d) CEO Director. The Company shall cause the then serving Chief Executive Officer of
the Company to be nominated for election to the Board as a Class I director at any meeting of the
stockholders of the Company at which directors of that class are to be elected, and shall recommend
that the stockholders elect such person to the Board (the “CEO Director”). For so long as
David W. Scheible serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, he shall be nominated for
election as the CEO Director. At such time as David W. Scheible or any successor Chief Executive
Officer ceases to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, he or she shall be required
to have resigned as a director of the Company, and his or her successor as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company shall be elected by the Board to fill the vacancy created by such resignation for
the remainder of the term of the resigned CEO Director.



     (e) Agreement to Recommend Directors. At each meeting of the stockholders of the
Company at which directors of the Company are to be elected, the Company agrees to recommend that
the stockholders elect to the Board the Family Designee, the CDR Designee, the Exor Designee, each
TPG Designee and CEO Director nominated for election at such meeting.



     (f) Other Directors.




     (i) Each of the directors of the Company other than the Family Designee, the CDR
Designee, the TPG Designees, the Exor Designee and the CEO Director shall be an Independent
Director designated for nomination by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
(each such director, an “Other Director”). At each meeting of the stockholders of
the Company held after the Effective Time at which directors of the Company are to be
elected, the Company agrees to recommend that the stockholders elect to the Board each
Other Director nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for election
at such meeting.




     (ii) In the event that as a result of a change in the number of shares of Common
Stock held by the Family Stockholders, the CDR Fund, Exor or TPG Entities, such Stockholder
loses the right to designate to the Board one or more designees provided for in Section
2.1(c), such designee(s) or such person shall resign immediately upon receiving notice from
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board that such committee has
identified a replacement director, and, in any event, shall resign no later than 120 days
after the Family Stockholders, the CDR Fund, Exor or TPG Entities, as the case may be,
loses the right to designate such designee to the Board. In such event, the Board seat
formerly occupied by such designee shall become a seat for an additional Other Director to
be selected solely by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Board may
determine to reduce its size by the number of vacated board seats.



5









 





     (g) Agreement to Vote for Directors. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, in person or by
proxy, or to act by written consent (if applicable) with respect to, all Covered Shares owned by it
(i) to cause the election of the CEO Director and each of the Family Designee, the CDR Designee,
the Exor Designee, the TPG Designees and the Other Directors when nominated for election to the
Board and to take all other steps within such Stockholder’s power to ensure that the composition of
the Board is as set forth in this Section 2.1 and (ii) to reject or otherwise disapprove any
merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company not approved in the
manner required by Section 2.2.



     (h) Vacancies.




     (i) As long as the Family Stockholders, the CDR Fund, Exor or TPG Entities, as the
case may be, has any right to designate one or more persons for nomination for election to
the Board in any particular class, as specified in Section 2.1(c), at any time at which a
vacancy shall be created on the Board as a result of the death, disability, retirement,
resignation, removal or otherwise of the Family Designee, the CDR Designee, the Exor
Designee or a TPG Designee, as the case may be, in such class, the Family Representative,
the CDR Fund, Exor or TPG Entities, as the case may be, shall be entitled to designate for
appointment by the remaining directors of the Company under the Certificate of
Incorporation an individual to fill such vacancy and to serve as a director on the Board in
such class. Each of the Company and the Stockholders agrees to take such actions as will
result in the appointment to the Board as soon as practicable of any individual so
designated by the Family Representative, the CDR Fund, Exor or TPG Entities.




     (ii) Each Stockholder further agrees that (x) it shall not vote, or give any proxy or
written consent, in favor of the removal as a director of the Company of any Family
Designee, CDR Designee, Exor Designee or TPG Designee (other than its own designee) without
the prior written consent of the applicable other Stockholder(s) unless such designee has
taken any action contrary to this Agreement, (y) except as otherwise set forth in this
clause (ii), it shall not give any proxy with respect to shares of the capital stock of the
Company entitling the holder of such proxy to vote on, or give any proxy or written consent
with respect to, the election of directors unless the holder of such proxy shall have
agreed to comply with the obligations of such Stockholder under this Agreement, and (z) if,
in connection with the election of any Family Designee, CDR Designee, Exor Designee, TPG
Designee or Other Director, any Stockholder indicates that it will not, or fails or refuses
to, vote (or act by written consent, if applicable) as required by this Agreement, or votes
or gives any proxy or written consent in contravention of this Agreement (such Stockholder,
a “Breaching Stockholder”), the Breaching Stockholder hereby constitutes and
appoints the Stockholder whose interests are detrimentally affected by such failure or
refusal (or, if there is more than one such Stockholder, the Stockholder that owns the
greatest number of shares of Common Stock) as the Breaching



6









 







Stockholder’s irrevocable proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution)
for purposes of this clause (ii)(z) to vote any and all of the Covered Shares held or
controlled by the Breaching Stockholder, or to act by written consent with respect to such
Shares (if applicable) in accordance with this Agreement (the “Proxy”), which Proxy
shall revoke any other proxy previously given by the defaulting party in contravention of
this Agreement (it being understood that such Stockholder shall retain the right to vote
such shares for all other purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement). Subject to
Section 6.2 hereof, each Stockholder intends the Proxy to secure the voting agreements
provided in this Agreement and to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and will take
such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate
the intent of this clause (ii)(z). The Proxy shall be valid until the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, regardless of whether such termination
occurs more than three years after the date as of the Effective Time.




     (iii) At any time at which a vacancy shall be created on the Board as a result of the
death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise of an Other Director prior
to the expiration of his or her term as director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee shall notify the Board of a replacement and, provided such replacement would be
an Independent Director, each of the Company and the Stockholders agrees to take such
actions as will result in the appointment of such replacement Other Director to the Board
as soon as practicable.



     (i) Term of Rights. No Stockholder shall be obligated to designate an individual to
serve on the Board, and any vacancy on the Board created by the failure of a Stockholder to
designate a director shall be filled by an Independent Director designated for nomination by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board or the Board may determine to reduce the
size of the Board by the number of vacated Board seats.



     Section 2.2 Actions of the Board; Affiliate Agreements. Except as otherwise
required by law, actions of the Board shall require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
the directors present in person or by telephone at a duly convened meeting of the Board at which a
quorum is present, or the unanimous written consent of the Board, provided that the Company shall
not enter into a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company
unless such merger, consolidation or sale is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
directors then in office. In addition to the vote required by the preceding sentence and any
approval required by the Company’s Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions, neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary shall enter into an Affiliate Agreement or modify or terminate an Affiliate
Agreement or enforce or abandon the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary under or pursuant to
any Affiliate Agreement (including the commencement or settlement of any suit or action) unless
such action is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the



7









 







directors not nominated or designated by a Stockholder which, directly or indirectly through its
Affiliate, has an interest in such Affiliate Agreement.



     Section 2.3 Board Committees.



     (a) Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board shall have at least three
members each of whom shall be an Independent Director chosen by the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee shall meet the requirements for
membership of an audit committee under applicable law and exchange listing requirements.



     (b) Compensation and Benefits Committee. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of
the Board shall have three members, each of whom shall be an Independent Director chosen by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. No employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries
shall serve on the Compensation and Benefits Committee.



     (c) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee of the Board shall have five members, consisting of (i) the Family Designee,
the CDR Designee and the Exor Designee, and (ii) two of the TPG Designees. The Chairman of the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be any member of the Committee chosen by an
affirmative vote of a majority of members of the Committee, provided, however, that initially the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall have a non-voting Chairman who immediately
after the Effective Time shall be John R. Miller, and in which case the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee shall have six members. No employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries (other
than Jeffrey H. Coors) shall serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.



     (d) Initial Composition; Undertaking; Limitation. Immediately after the Effective
Time, the Board committees referred to in Section 2.3(a)-(c) shall have the membership provided
therein, with the positions for Other Directors filled by such Other Directors as the Board shall
determine. Each of the Company and each of the Stockholders agree to take all steps within its
power to ensure that the composition of the Board’s committees is as provided herein.
Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a)-(c), no Stockholder shall have the right to have its director
designees sit as members of any committee of the Board in the event such Stockholder has
Transferred any shares of Common Stock such that immediately after giving effect to such Transfer
it owns less than 3% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock, and, in the case of the two TPG
Designees to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, one of such designees
shall resign from the Committee at such time as TPG Entities only have the right to designate one
director pursuant to Section 2.1(c). The Board shall fill any committee seats that become vacant
pursuant to the preceding sentence with Other Directors. The Board shall not form an Executive
Committee.



8









 





     Section 2.4 Chairman of the Board; Executive Officers. The Chairman and the
executive officers of the Company shall be appointed in accordance with the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-Laws. The initial Chairman shall be John R. Miller, and the initial Chief
Executive Officer shall be David W. Scheible.

OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UPON RECEIPT BY NEW GIANT CORPORATION OF AN

respect to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any conduct by the Stockholders
contemplated hereunder or thereunder);

including without limitation:




     (i) casting such designee’s vote in opposition to any proposal contrary to the
provisions, purposes and intent of this Agreement; and

soon as practicable and to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) to cause the Company, the Board
or such director (as applicable) to satisfy its or their respective obligations hereunder or (ii)
to take such action, in each Stockholder’s capacity as a Stockholder, to act in lieu of the

this Agreement, including, when applicable (A) approving any amendments to the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (B) voting in favor of the removal of any director or (C)

their Affiliates to vote any Covered Shares. Each Stockholder shall take all steps in its power,

Business Days following the date hereof), an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form
pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions, (ii) to supply as promptly as practicable
any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to applicable

the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act by the time of the Closing, such Stockholder agrees
to enter into an escrow arrangement for such Stockholder’s Covered Shares, BCH Equity Interests
and/or Giant Common Stock, as



15









 







necessary to allow the Closing to proceed, that satisfies the
requirements of the Federal Trade Commission and Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice,
such escrow arrangement to remain in effect until such time as such Stockholder shall have received
expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.

writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other
respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of any Stockholder which
has ceased to hold (together with its Permitted Transferees who are or become a party hereto) at
least 3% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock shall not be required to amend or waive any
provision of this Agreement; provided that the prior written consent of the Family Representative
shall be required to amend or waive any provision of this Agreement so long as the Family
Stockholders own in the aggregate, at least 3% of the Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock.



     Section 6.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by the other party hereto or
its successors or assigns may be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such action or proceeding,
any other court of the State of Delaware that has



23









 







such jurisdiction), and each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in
respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert,
by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect
to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the
above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or
its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such courts or from any legal process
commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such
court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such
courts. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of
the aforementioned courts in any suit, action or other proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof
by mail to such party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be
effective upon acknowledgement of receipt of such registered mail; provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted
by law.



     Section 6.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby. Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation,
seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been
induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications
in Section 6.13.



     Section 6.14 Termination of Existing Stockholders Agreement. By execution hereof, the
parties hereto hereby agree that the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2003, among
Giant, the Family Stockholders, the CDR Fund and Exor, shall terminate and be of no further force
and effect as of the Effective Time.
