2.8                               Limitations on Secured Debt.  (a) If the Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall incur, issue, assume or enter into a guarantee of any Debt secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Property of the, Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Parent, or on any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, the Parent or the Issuer shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary to, secure the Series 1 Notes equally and rateably with (or prior to) such secured Debt for as long as such Debt is so secured, unless the aggregate amount of all such secured Debt (for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent such Debt is secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Property) when taken together with all Attributable Debt with respect to sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Properties of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary (with the exception of such transactions which are excluded pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.9(b)), would not, at the time of such incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee, exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as determined based on the most recent available consolidated balance sheet of the Parent.  Any Mortgage created for the benefit of the Holders of Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Mortgage shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Mortgage to which it relates.

 

(b)                                 The restriction in Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to Debt secured by:

 

(i)                                     Mortgages existing on any property prior to the acquisition thereof by the Parent, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or existing on any property of any corporation or other entity that becomes a Subsidiary after the date of this Supplemental Indenture prior to the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary or securing indebtedness that is used to pay the cost of acquisition of such property or to reimburse the Parent, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary for that cost; provided, however, that such Mortgage shall not apply to any other property of the Parent, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary other than improvements and accessions to the property to which it originally applies;

 

(ii)                                  Mortgages to secure the cost of development or construction of such property, or improvements of such property; provided, however, that such Mortgages shall not apply to any other property of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;

 

(iii)                               Mortgages in favor of a governmental entity or in favor of the holders of securities issued by any such entity, pursuant to any contract or statute (including Mortgages to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type) or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part

 

9











 

of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages;

 

(iv)                              Mortgages securing indebtedness owing to the Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

(v)                                 Mortgages existing on the Issue Date;

 

(vi)                              Mortgages required in connection with governmental programs which provide financial or tax benefits, as long as substantially all of the obligations secured are in lieu of or reduce an obligation that would have been secured by a lien permitted under this Indenture;

 

(vii)                           extensions, renewals or replacements of the Mortgages referred to in this Section 2.8(b) (other than Mortgages described in clauses (ii) and (iv) above) so long as the principal amount of the secured Debt is not increased (except by an amount not to exceed the fees and expenses, including any premium and defeasance costs incurred with such extension, renewal or replacement) and the extension, renewal or replacement is limited to all or part of the same property secured (and for the avoidance of doubt could have been secured) by the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced; or

 

(viii)                        Mortgages in connection with sale and leaseback transactions permitted by Section 2.9(b).

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount or accreted value, the accretion of dividends, and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt will not be deemed to be an incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee of Debt.

 

2.9                               Limitations on Sales and Leasebacks.  (a) None of the Parent, the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary shall enter into any sale and leaseback transaction involving any Principal Property, unless the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions, when taken together with all secured Debt permitted under Section 2.8(a) (and not excluded in Section 2.8(b)) would not, at the time such transaction is entered into, exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as determined based on the most recent available consolidated balance sheet of the Parent.

 

(b)                                 The restriction in Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from Attributable Debt in any computation under Section 2.9(a), any sale and leaseback transaction if:

 

(i)                                     the transaction is between or among two or more of the Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors;

 

10












 

(ii)                                  the lease is for a period, including renewal rights, of not in excess of three years;

 

(iii)                               the transaction is with a governmental authority that provides financial or tax benefits;

 

(iv)                              the net proceeds of the sale are at least equal to the fair market value of the property and, within 180 days of the transfer, the Parent, the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors repay Funded Debt owed by them or make expenditures for the expansion, construction or acquisition of a Principal Property at least equal to the net proceeds of the sale; or

 

(v)                                 such sale and leaseback transaction is entered into within 180 days after the acquisition or construction, in whole but not in part, of such Principal Property.

2.11                        Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or Canadian Government Obligations.  At the Issuer’s option, either (a) the Issuer shall be deemed to have been Discharged from its obligations with respect to the Series 1 Notes on the first day after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture have been satisfied or (b) the Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 6.4 or Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture and Sections 2.8 and 2.9 of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Series 1 Notes at any time after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture have been satisfied.  The applicable provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture shall apply to the exercise by the Issuer of either such option.  For greater certainty, any government obligations deposited irrevocably with the Trustee in respect of the Series 1 Notes pursuant to Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture shall be Canadian Government Obligations due to the fact that the Series 1 Notes are denominated in Canadian Dollars.

 

2.12                        Repurchase of Series 1 Notes Upon a Change of Control.  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuer has unconditionally exercised its right to redeem the Series 1 Notes as provided in the form of Series 1 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A and Article IV of the Base Indenture, each Holder of Series 1 Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Series 1 Notes pursuant to the offer described in this Section 2.12 (the “Series 1 Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Section 2.12 at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Series 1 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Series 1 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Series 1 Change of Control Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Series 1 Change of Control Payment or a Series 1 Change

 

11











 

of Control Offer shall not be considered a redemption for the purposes of Article XIV of the Base Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Within 30 days following any Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice to each Holder of Series 1 Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Series 1 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Series 1 Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by Article IV of the Base Indenture, which shall apply hereto mutatis mutandis, and described in such notice.  The repurchase obligation with respect to any notice mailed prior to the consummation of the Change of Control shall be conditioned on the Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

 

(c)                                  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.12, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.12 by virtue of such conflicts.

 

(d)                                 On the Series 1 Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Series 1 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Series 1 Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Series 1 Change of Control Payment in respect of all Series 1 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not validly withdrawn and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Series 1 Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Series 1 Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer.  The Paying Agent shall promptly provide to each Holder of Series 1 Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn the Series 1 Change of Control Payment for such Series 1 Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Series 1 Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Series 1 Notes surrendered by such Holder; provided that each new Series 1 Note will be in a principal amount of C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof.

 

(e)                                  The Issuer shall not be required to make a Series 1 Change of Control Offer upon a Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event if another Person makes the Series 1 Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.12 otherwise applicable to a Series 1 Change of Control Offer

 

12











 

made by the Issuer and such other Person purchases all Series 1 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Series 1 Change of Control Offer.

 

(f)                                   Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12 in connection with the Series 1 Notes, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Series 1 Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Series 1 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the Parent’s intention to effect a Change of Control, in each case until the end of the 60-day period following the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the Parent’s intention to effect a Change of Control; provided, however, that if during such 60-day period one or more Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the Series 1 Notes, then such 60-day period shall be extended for such time as the rating of the Series 1 Notes by any such Rating Agency remains under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Series 1 Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Series 1 Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Parent’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Series 1 Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

 

“Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Series 1 Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 

2.13                        Guarantees.  The Series 1 Notes shall be guaranteed by the Parent and the following Subsidiaries of the Parent (which are hereby designated “Guarantors” under the Indenture with respect to the Series 1 Notes): Molson Coors International General, ULC, Coors International Holdco, ULC, Molson Coors Callco ULC, Molson Canada 2005, Coors Brewing Company, Molson Coors Holdco Inc., CBC Holdco LLC, MC Holding Company LLC, CBC Holdco 2 LLC, Newco3, Inc. and, no later than 30 days after the consummation of the Acquisition, MillerCoors, and each of the Parent’s future Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.8 of the Base Indenture, until, in each case, such entity is released as a Guarantor in accordance with Section 16.6 of the Base Indenture.  Each of the Guarantors hereby confirms its Guarantee of the Series 1 Notes

 

13











 

and confirms the applicability of the provisions of the Base Indenture to such Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to the Series 1 Notes.

 

2.14                        No Sinking Fund.  The Series 1 Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

 

2.15                        Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.  The terms and conditions of Section 6.4 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Series 1 Notes.

15











 

Subsidiary after the date of this Supplemental Indenture prior to the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary or securing indebtedness that is used to pay the cost of acquisition of such property or to reimburse the Parent, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary for that cost; provided, however, that such Mortgage shall not apply to any other property of the Parent, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary other than improvements and accessions to the property to which it originally applies;

 

(ii)                                  Mortgages to secure the cost of development or construction of such property, or improvements of such property; provided, however, that such Mortgages shall not apply to any other property of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;

 

(iii)                               Mortgages in favor of a governmental entity or in favor of the holders of securities issued by any such entity, pursuant to any contract or statute (including Mortgages to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type) or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages;

(iv)                              the net proceeds of the sale are at least equal to the fair market value of the property and, within 180 days of the transfer, the Parent, the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors repay Funded Debt owed by them or make expenditures for the expansion, construction or acquisition of a Principal Property at least equal to the net proceeds of the sale; or

 

(v)                                 such sale and leaseback transaction is entered into within 180 days after the acquisition or construction, in whole but not in part, of such Principal Property.

 

3.10                        Appointment of Agents.  The Trustee shall initially be the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Series 2 Notes.

 

3.11                        Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or Canadian Government Obligations.  At the Issuer’s option, either (a) the Issuer shall be deemed to have been Discharged from its obligations with respect to the Series 2 Notes on the first day after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture have been satisfied or (b) the Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 6.4 or Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture and Sections 3.8 and 3.9 of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Series 2 Notes at any time after the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture have been satisfied.  The applicable provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture shall apply to the exercise by the Issuer of either such option.  For greater

 

17











 

certainty, any government obligations deposited irrevocably with the Trustee in respect of the Series 2 Notes pursuant to Section 12.3 of the Base Indenture shall be Canadian Government Obligations due to the fact that the Series 2 Notes are denominated in Canadian Dollars.

 

3.12                        Repurchase of Series 2 Notes Upon a Change of Control.  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuer has unconditionally exercised its right to redeem the Series 2 Notes as provided in the form of Series 2 Note attached hereto as Exhibit B and Article IV of the Base Indenture, each Holder of Series 2 Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Series 2 Notes pursuant to the offer described in this Section 3.12 (the “Series 2 Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Section 3.12 at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Series 2 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Series 2 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Series 2 Change of Control Payment”).  For the avoidance of doubt, a Series 2 Change of Control Payment or a Series 2 Change of Control Offer shall not be considered a redemption for the purposes of Article XIV of the Base Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Within 30 days following any Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice to each Holder of Series 2 Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Series 2 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Series 2 Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by Article IV of the Base Indenture, which shall apply hereto mutatis mutandis, and described in such notice.  The repurchase obligation with respect to any notice mailed prior to the consummation of the Change of Control shall be conditioned on the Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

 

(c)                                  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.12, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.12 by virtue of such conflicts.

 

(d)                                 On the Series 2 Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Series 2 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Series 2 Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Series 2 Change of Control Payment in respect of all Series 2 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not validly withdrawn and (iii) deliver or cause to

 

18











 

be delivered to the Trustee the Series 2 Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Series 2 Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer.  The Paying Agent shall promptly provide to each Holder of Series 2 Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn the Series 2 Change of Control Payment for such Series 2 Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Series 2 Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Series 2 Notes surrendered by such Holder; provided that each new Series 2 Note will be in a principal amount of C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof.

 

(e)                                  The Issuer shall not be required to make a Series 2 Change of Control Offer upon a Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event if another Person makes the Series 2 Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.12 otherwise applicable to a Series 2 Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and such other Person purchases all Series 2 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Series 2 Change of Control Offer.

 

(f)                                   Solely for purposes of this Section 3.12 in connection with the Series 2 Notes, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Series 2 Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Series 2 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the Parent’s intention to effect a Change of Control, in each case until the end of the 60-day period following the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the Parent’s intention to effect a Change of Control; provided, however, that if during such 60-day period one or more Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the Series 2 Notes, then such 60-day period shall be extended for such time as the rating of the Series 2 Notes by any such Rating Agency remains under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Series 2 Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Series 2 Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Parent’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has

 

19











 

occurred at the time of the Series 2 Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

 

“Series 2 Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Series 2 Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 

3.13                        Guarantees.  The Series 2 Notes shall be guaranteed by the Parent and the following Subsidiaries of the Parent (which are hereby designated “Guarantors” under the Indenture with respect to the Series 2 Notes): Molson Coors International General, ULC, Coors International Holdco, ULC, Molson Coors Callco ULC, Molson Canada 2005, Coors Brewing Company, Molson Coors Holdco Inc., CBC Holdco LLC, MC Holding Company LLC, CBC Holdco 2 LLC, Newco3, Inc. and, no later than 30 days after the consummation of the Acquisition, MillerCoors, and each of the Parent’s future Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.8 of the Base Indenture, until, in each case, such entity is released as a Guarantor in accordance with Section 16.6 of the Base Indenture.  Each of the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby confirms its Guarantee of the Series 2 Notes and confirms the applicability of the provisions of the Base Indenture to the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to the Series 2 Notes.

 

3.14                        No Sinking Fund.  The Series 2 Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

 

3.15                        Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.  The terms and conditions of Section 6.4 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Series 2 Notes.

ARTICLE 6
 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

 

6.1                               Additional Amounts.  (a)  The Issuer will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by a Holder of such amounts, after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge of a Relevant Jurisdiction, imposed by withholding with respect to the payment, as would have been received had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

 

(i)                                     to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge of the United States imposed on a Holder of a Note that is a “United States person” (as defined below);

 

(ii)                                  to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as

 

A.                                    being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business in the Relevant Jurisdiction or having had a permanent establishment in the Relevant Jurisdiction;

 

B.                                    having a current or former relationship with the Relevant Jurisdiction, including a relationship as a citizen or resident of the Relevant Jurisdiction;

 

C.                                    being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

D.                                    being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or

 

E.                                     being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

 

21












 

(iii)                               to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a partner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner, partner, or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

 

(iv)                              to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or otherwise withheld solely by reason of a failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the Relevant Jurisdiction or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the Relevant Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(v)                                 to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding or deduction from the payment;

 

(vi)                              to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

(vii)                           to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(viii)                        to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge any paying agent (including the Issuer) must withhold from any payment of principal of or interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent;

 

(ix)                              to any tax, assessment or governmental charge that would not have been so imposed or withheld but for the presentation by the Holder of a Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

22











 

(x)                                 to any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any regulations, agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof) or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement);

 

(xi)                              to any tax, assessment or governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note as a result of the presentation of any Note for payment by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid the withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Global Security to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union; or

 

(xii)                           in the case of any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) above.

 

(b)                                 The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this Article 6, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

 

(c)                                  The obligation of any Successor Company to make payments of additional amounts shall be determined mutatis mutandis, by treating any jurisdiction under the laws of which such Successor Company is organized or resident for tax purposes and any political subdivision or taxing authority as therein having the power to tax, as a Relevant Jurisdiction.

 

(d)                                 As used under this  Article 6, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia) and its territories, possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction. “United States person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Interest.  Molson Coors International LP, a Delaware limited partnership (herein called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [            ], as revised by the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto, on July 15, 2023 and to pay interest thereon from July 7, 2016, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in equal semi-annual installments in the amount of C$14.20 per C$1,000 principal amount of the Notes of this series outstanding in arrears on January 15 and July 15 in each year, commencing July 15, 2017, with the first interest payment on the Notes of this series being an interest payment payable on January 15, 2017 in the amount of C$7,411,232.88, such payment being equivalent to C$14.8224658 per C$1,000 of principal amount of the Notes of this series, at the rate of 2.840% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the same rate on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of interest.  Interest for any period of less than 6 months shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days.

[REVERSE OF SERIES 1 NOTE]

 

Indenture.  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 7, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 7, 2016 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all applicable indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of this series and of the terms upon which the Notes of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to C$500,000,000.  To the extent the terms of this Note conflict with the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

Optional Redemption.  The Notes of this series are subject to redemption at the Issuer’s option prior to the Par Call Date, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount then outstanding to be redeemed; and (ii) the Canada Yield Price; in either case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of this series, at the Issuer’s option, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

For purposes of determining the optional Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

 

“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Notes of this series being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of such Notes, calculated as of the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such Business Day plus 51.0 basis points.

 

“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada acceptable to the Issuer, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian Dollars in Canada at 100% of its

 

A-6











 

principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date of such Notes to be redeemed.

 

“Par Call Date” means June 15, 2023.

 

Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes of this series to be redeemed.  Once notice of redemption is mailed for any Notes of this series, the Notes of this series called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.  If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and the other conditions set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture are satisfied, and unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes of this series (or portions thereof) called for redemption.  If fewer than all of the Notes of this series are to be redeemed, and the Notes of this series are at the time represented by a Global Note, then the Notes to be redeemed will be redeemed on a pro rata basis.  If the Issuer elects to redeem fewer than all of the Notes of this series, and any of the Notes of this series are not represented by a Global Note, then the Trustee shall select the particular Notes of this series to be redeemed in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.

 

Notice of any redemption of Notes of this series in connection with a corporate transaction (including any equity offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or a change of control) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

 

[Special Mandatory Redemption.  The Notes of this series are subject to redemption in whole (but not in part) at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes of this series to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), if (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to November 11, 2016 (or if, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Termination Date (as defined therein) is automatically extended, the date (not later than 18 months after November 11, 2015) to which the Termination Date is so extended), or (ii) if, prior to such date, the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it will not pursue the Acquisition. Each of (i) and (ii) is a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”).

 

A-7











 

Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Parent, for and on behalf of the Issuer, or the Issuer shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 Business Days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that the Notes of this series are to be redeemed on the 30th day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture.  The Trustee, upon receipt of the notice specified above, on the Redemption Notice Date shall notify each Holder in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture that all of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes of this series.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (or such later time as is acceptable to the Trustee), the Parent, for and on behalf of the Issuer, or the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes of this series on such date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes of this series will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.](1)

 

Redemption for Tax Reasons.  If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the Relevant Jurisdiction, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date hereof (or, in the case of a successor to the Issuer, the date of succession), the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing selected by the Issuer, there is a substantial probability that the Issuer will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes of this series, then the Issuer may at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes of this series on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon to the date fixed for redemption, provided such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event, subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, each Holder of Notes of this series shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes of this series as set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of this series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of additional unsecured debt by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; however, it does limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional secured debt, the entry into sale and leaseback transactions by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets by the Issuer and the Guarantors.  The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Indenture.  Once a year, the Issuer must report to the Trustee on its compliance with these limitations.

[REVERSE OF SERIES 2 NOTE]

 

Indenture.  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 7, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 7, 2016 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all applicable indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of this series and of the terms upon which the Notes of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to C$500,000,000.  To the extent the terms of this Note conflict with the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

Optional Redemption.  The Notes of this series are subject to redemption at the Issuer’s option prior to the Par Call Date, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount then outstanding to be redeemed; and (ii) the Canada Yield Price; in either case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of this series, at the Issuer’s option, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

For purposes of determining the optional Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

 

“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Notes of this series being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of such Notes, calculated as of the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such Business Day plus 58.5 basis points.

 

“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada acceptable to the Issuer, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian Dollars in Canada at 100% of its

 

B-6











 

principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date of such Notes to be redeemed.

 

“Par Call Date” means April 15, 2026.

 

Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes of this series to be redeemed.  Once notice of redemption is mailed for any Notes of this series, the Notes of this series called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.  If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes of this series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and the other conditions set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture are satisfied, and unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes of this series (or portions thereof) called for redemption.  If fewer than all of the Notes of this series are to be redeemed, and the Notes of this series are at the time represented by a Global Note, then the Notes to be redeemed will be redeemed on a pro rata basis.  If the Issuer elects to redeem fewer than all of the Notes of this series, and any of the Notes of this series are not represented by a Global Note, then the Trustee shall select the particular Notes of this series to be redeemed in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.

 

Notice of any redemption of Notes of this series in connection with a corporate transaction (including any equity offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or a change of control) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

 

[Special Mandatory Redemption.  The Notes of this series are subject to redemption in whole (but not in part) at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes of this series to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), if (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to November 11, 2016 (or if, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Termination Date (as defined therein) is automatically extended, the date (not later than 18 months after November 11, 2015) to which the Termination Date is so extended), or (ii) if, prior to such date, the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it will not pursue the Acquisition. Each of (i) and (ii) is a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”).

 

B-7











 

Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Parent, for and on behalf of the Issuer, or the Issuer shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 Business Days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that the Notes of this series are to be redeemed on the 30th day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture.  The Trustee, upon receipt of the notice specified above, on the Redemption Notice Date shall notify each Holder in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture that all of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes of this series.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (or such later time as is acceptable to the Trustee), the Parent, for and on behalf of the Issuer, or the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes of this series on such date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes of this series will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.](2)

 

Redemption for Tax Reasons.  If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the Relevant Jurisdiction, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date hereof (or, in the case of a successor to the Issuer, the date of succession), the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing selected by the Issuer, there is a substantial probability that the Issuer will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes of this series, then the Issuer may at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes of this series on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon to the date fixed for redemption, provided such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in Article IV of the Base Indenture.

 

Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Series 1 Change of Control Triggering Event, subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, each Holder of Notes of this series shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes of this series as set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of this series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
