work papers used by each of CBI and Importer and its respective employees, advisors or representatives to prepare the Closing Statement, as well as access to individuals and representatives responsible for and knowledgeable about the information

or delay the determination of the Distribution Amount, the Closing Statement, the ABI Objection, the Final Closing Statement and the Final Distribution Amount. If no ABI Objection is received by CBI on or before the last day of such 30-day period
(as such period may be extended), then the Distribution Amount set forth on the Closing Statement delivered by CBI shall be final and binding upon ABI in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 2.3(c). During the 30 days
immediately following the delivery of the ABI Objection, ABI and CBI shall seek to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the ABI Objection. 

(c) If CBI and ABI are unable to resolve all their disagreements with respect to the matters set forth in the ABI Objection during the

determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and the definition of Closing Statement and Distribution Amount, whether and to what extent, if any, the Distribution Amount set forth in the Closing Statement
requires adjustment. The parties shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to CBI and ABI no later than 30 days after the remaining differences underlying the ABI Objection are referred to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s
determination shall be final and binding upon CBI and ABI and their respective Affiliates. If the CPA Firm determines the Distribution Amount set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment, its calculation of the Distribution Amount shall
not be higher than the amounts advocated by ABI in the ABI Objection nor lower than the amounts advocated by CBI in the Closing Statement. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by CBI and ABI. The parties shall make
readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants) relating to the Closing Statement and the ABI Objection and all other items reasonably requested by
the CPA Firm in connection therewith. The Closing Statement and Distribution Amount that are final and binding on CBI, ABI and their respective Affiliates, as determined either through agreement of CBI and ABI or through the determination of the CPA
Firm pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement” and the “Final Distribution Amount”. The Final Distribution Amount shall bear interest from the date that the
Distribution Amount would have been paid pursuant to the LLC Agreement (in effect as of June 28, 2012) at the rate of 2% per annum. 
 (d) CBI shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Final Distribution Amount to ABI and Constellation Beers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by ABI and

Ability. Each of the Buyer Parties acknowledges that its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Brewery Transaction is not and will not be subject to the receipt by any Buyer Party of any financing
or the consummation of any other transaction other than the occurrence of the GM Transaction Closing and, in the case of the Brewery Transaction, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer Parties have
delivered to ABI a true, complete and correct copy of the executed definitive Second Amended and Restated Interim Loan Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2013, among Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), JPMorgan Chase
Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and CBI (collectively, the “Financing Commitment”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the lenders party thereto have committed to lend the
amounts set forth therein (the “Financing”) for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Brewery Transaction. The Buyer Parties have delivered to ABI true, complete and correct copies of the fee
letter and engagement letters relating to the Financing Commitment (redacted only as to the matters indicated therein), the 

  
 - 19 -









 
Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement, and, as of the date hereof, the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitment have not
been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. There are no agreements, side letters or arrangements to which CBI or any of its Affiliates is a party relating to the Financing Commitment that could affect the availability of the Financing.
The Financing Commitment constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of CBI and, to the Knowledge of CBI, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and by general equitable principles). The Financing Commitment is in full force and
effect and has not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and no such amendment or modification is contemplated. Neither CBI nor any of its Affiliates is in breach of any of the terms or conditions
set forth in the Financing Commitment, and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 and performance by ABI of its obligations under this Agreement and the Brewery SPA, as of the date hereof, no
event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date hereof, no lender has notified CBI
of its intention to terminate the Financing Commitment or not to provide the Financing. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the
Financing Commitment. The aggregate proceeds available to be disbursed pursuant to the Financing Commitment, together with available cash on hand and availability under CBI’s existing credit facility, will be sufficient for the Buyer Parties to

act, omission, delay or other circumstance or any election of remedies by CBI, the Buyers, the Importer or their respective successors or permitted assigns that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or

by ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor, as applicable, and except for defenses based on a final judicial determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group
Obligor has a defense to performance based on CBI’s Breach of this Agreement, the Importer’s Breach of the Interim Supply Agreement or Constellation Beers’ Breach of the Sub-license Agreement, as applicable. ABI’s obligations
under this Article 6 shall not be affected by any claim by ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor that this Agreement, the Membership Interest Assignment, the Interim Supply Agreement, or the Sub-license Agreement,
as applicable, is invalid or unenforceable and any payments required to be made by it hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction, set-off, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. The rights and obligations under this Article
6 shall survive any assignment (i) by ABI made in accordance with Section 14.2, (ii) by Supplier made in accordance with the terms of the Interim Supply Agreement or (iii) by Marcas Modelo made in accordance with the

 (b) By ABI or by CBI, if the GM Transaction Agreement is terminated; 
 (c) By CBI
or by ABI, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 30, 2013 (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) shall not be available to any party hereto whose failure to perform or
comply with any covenant or agreement under this Agreement applicable to it has proximately contributed to, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date). 

11.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.1, this Agreement
shall become null and void and of no further force or effect with no Liability to any Person on the part of any party hereto (or any of its representatives or Affiliates), except that:

terms and provisions of Section 12.5(b) shall survive and remain in full force and effect for twelve (12) months following the date of such appointment, unless such Order requires a longer period, and (ii) if ABI or one of its
Affiliates enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Participatory Transaction within twelve (12) months of its termination of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of Section 12.5(b) shall survive until the earlier of
the consummation of such Participatory Transaction and the termination of such definitive agreement.

Section 11.1(c) if CBI would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c) at the time of such termination, or (ii) by either ABI or CBI pursuant to Section 11.1(b), then in
either case ABI shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination) pay, or cause to be paid, to CBI (or its designee) an amount equal to $75,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by
wire transfer of same day funds to any account designated by CBI (or its designee). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall ABI be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. 

ARTICLE 12 

INDEMNIFICATION 
 12.1 Survival. 
 (a) Representations and Warranties. All of
the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement, including the schedules hereto, shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.6,
4.7, 5.7 and 5.8 hereof shall survive only for one year after the Closing (it being understood that in the event notice of any claim for indemnification under Section 4.6, 4.7, 5.7 or 5.8 hereof
has been given (within the meaning of Section 14.3 hereof) within the applicable survival period, the representations and warranties that are the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive with respect to such claim until such
time as such claim is finally resolved). 
 A claim shall be “finally resolved” when: (i) the parties to the
dispute have reached an agreement in writing; (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable Order or judgment; or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable
determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto. 
 (b) Covenants and Agreements. All of
the covenants and agreements of the parties, including the guarantees in Articles 6 and 7, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect forever, or otherwise in accordance with their respective terms. 

12.2 Terms of Indemnification. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Article 12: 

(a) From and after the Closing, ABI shall indemnify Buyer Parties against, and shall protect, defend and hold harmless Buyer Parties
from, all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by the Buyer Parties to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any Breach of any of the representations or warranties of ABI contained in this Agreement, and
(ii) any Breach of ABI’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. 
 (b) From and after the Closing, Buyer
Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify ABI against, and shall protect, defend and hold harmless ABI from, all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by the Seller Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from
(i) any Breach of any representations or warranties of any Buyer Party contained in this Agreement, (ii) any Breach of any Buyer Party’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and (iii) any obligations and
liabilities relating to the Importer Office Lease. 

  
 - 32 -









 12.3 Procedures with Respect to Third Party Claims. Promptly after the
commencement of any action or Proceeding by a third party against any party hereto (a “Third Party Claim”) that is reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 12, the party seeking
indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice in writing to the party (the “Indemnifying Party”) from whom indemnification is sought of such Third Party Claim. No failure to provide such notice shall
affect indemnification hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall then be entitled to participate in such action or Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense
thereof, and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a
claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 12.2 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such an action (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s
consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law, or any violation of the rights of any Person, by the Indemnified Party and no adverse effect on any other claims that may be
made against the Indemnified Party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary Damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement
thereof effected by the Indemnified Party without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that any action may
materially and adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages, such Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the
Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle any such action without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent and the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to any judgment entered in any action so defended, or a
compromise or settlement thereof entered into, without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a
Third Party Claim, including by providing access to its relevant business records and other documents, and employees. 
 12.4
Representation. It is understood and agreed that Nixon Peabody LLP shall not be precluded from representing the Importer after the date hereof as a result of any legal services or advice it may render to the Buyer Parties in connection
with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 12.5 Sole Remedy;
Drag-Along Right. 
 (a) Following the Closing, the indemnification provided in this Article 12 shall be the
exclusive remedy and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which the Indemnified Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise against each other with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby for monetary relief with respect
to any Breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, and each party hereto each expressly waives any and all other rights or causes of


  
 - 33 -









 
action it or its Affiliates may have against the other party or its Affiliates now or in the future under any Law with respect to the subject matter hereof, except in either case for fraud of the
other party, the parties’ rights to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 14.13, or enforcement of the guarantees in Articles 6 and 7. 

(b) If (i) the Buyer Parties fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder when all conditions precedent set forth in
Section 10.2 to the Buyer Parties’ obligations to close hereunder have been satisfied or waived, or if all conditions to obligations of the Buyer Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder would have been
satisfied but for a Breach of this Agreement by a Buyer Party, or (ii) CBI fails to consummate the Brewery Transaction when all conditions precedent set forth in Article 6 of the Brewery SPA to CBI’s obligation to close thereunder have
been satisfied or waived, or if all conditions to the obligation of CBI to consummate the Brewery Transaction would have been satisfied but for a Breach of the Brewery SPA by CBI, then the Seller Parties shall be entitled to: (x) solicit,
encourage or initiate negotiations and discussions in good faith with bona fide third parties pursuant to arm’s length discussions and negotiations with respect to the sale or transfer of one hundred percent (100%) of the LLC Interests of
the Importer (the “Entire Importer Interest”), and (y) pursuant to such discussions and negotiations, enter into an agreement to sell to one or more Persons (the “Alternative Purchaser”) the Entire Importer
Interest for cash, without any limitation and without requiring the approval of or notice to any Buyer Party or its Affiliates, including any approval of any Buyer Party or its Affiliates that may be required pursuant to the LLC Agreement, which
approval, if any, is hereby granted by the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates, and the Buyer Parties shall be required to sell the fifty percent (50%) of the LLC Interests of the Importer Constellation Beers and its Affiliates currently own
(the “CBI Interest”) to the Alternative Purchaser in accordance with the following and to enter into any agreements reasonably required to effectuate such sale (the “Drag-Along Right”): 

(i) If the Seller Parties determine to sell the Entire Importer Interest to the Alternative Purchaser pursuant to a sale
under this Section 12.5(b) (such a sale, a “Participatory Transaction”), then upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the Seller Parties (the “Drag-Along Notice”), which notice shall
include, in reasonable detail, the terms and conditions of the Participatory Transaction, including the time and place of closing and the aggregate purchase price for the Entire Importer Interest, the Buyer Parties shall be obligated to, and shall,
on the same terms and conditions specified in the Drag-Along Notice, sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred and delivered, to the Alternative Purchaser, the CBI Interest in the same transaction at the closing of the
Participatory Transaction (and will deliver certificates or assignments for the CBI Interest at such closing, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances subject to customary exceptions); provided that, the Buyer Parties shall only be
required to make representations and warranties relating to due organization of Buyer Parties, brokers, non-contravention, title and ownership of, and authority to sell the CBI Interest and shall only be required to provide indemnification to the
Alternative Purchaser (which shall be capped at the net cash proceeds received by the Buyer Parties in the transaction and shall be on a pro rata basis with the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations and subject to any limitations on the
Seller Parties’ obligations to indemnify the Alternative Purchaser (including any caps on indemnification obligations)) for breaches of such representations and warranties and any covenants that both the Seller Parties and the


  
 - 34 -









 
Buyer Parties are required to make. For the avoidance of doubt, ABI shall obtain from Seller any consent or approval required under Importer’s organizational documents to consummate a
Participatory Transaction and the effectiveness of the grant of the Drag-Along Right granted to the Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 12.5(b) (and any exercise thereof) is contingent upon CBI’s receipt of any such consent or
approval from Seller. 
 (ii) In determining the terms and conditions of the Participatory Transaction for
purposes of this Section 12.5(b), the Seller Parties shall act in good faith in determining such terms and conditions and will not include terms that the Buyer Parties could not lawfully accept, or include any non-compete (or similar
restriction on the ability of any Buyer Party or its Affiliates to operate or compete) or requirement on the part of any Buyer Party to accept any restrictions or conditions on the business of any such Buyer Party in order to obtain consents of
Governmental Authorities other than with respect to the CBI Interest (the “Restrictive Terms”). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.5(b), if the Seller Parties determine to consummate a Participatory
Transaction with Restrictive Terms, the Seller shall purchase from Constellation Beers, and Constellation Beers shall sell to the Seller, the CBI Interest as Constellation Beers otherwise would have transferred in such Participatory Transaction had
such Participatory Transaction not included the Restrictive Terms; provided that the Seller Parties shall hold the Entire Importer Interest (i) solely for the purposes of facilitating a sale to an Alternative Purchaser and (ii) for that
period of time necessary to effect the transfer of the Entire Importer Interest to such Alternative Purchaser. 

(iii) In any Participatory Transaction contemplated by this Section 12.5(b), CBI shall receive, in exchange
for the CBI Interest, (x) Participatory Transaction Amount, minus (y) $375,000,000, and ABI shall pay such amount to CBI on the closing date of the sale of the Entire Importer Interest to the Alternative Purchaser in the
Participatory Transaction or such other times specified in the definitive agreement providing for such Participatory Transaction if the Seller Parties are also required their pro rata portion of the proceeds from such Participatory Transaction at
such times. 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to the Drag-Along Right if CBI fails to
acquire the Importer Interest or if CBI fails to consummate the Brewery Transaction. 
 12.6 Adjustments to
Losses. 
 (a) In calculating the amount of any loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or
any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.2, net of any actual
costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such loss. In the event that an
Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 12, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the
extent of such 

  
 - 35 -









 
payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the loss related to any such claim, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on
account of said indemnity payment is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each
Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such
claims. 
 (b) If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a loss that is the subject of
indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 12, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount
paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of loss. 
 (c) Indemnified losses to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be determined net of the amount of any Tax benefit actually recognized in cash by the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnified
loss or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto. 
 12.7 Consequential Damages. Subject to the next sentence
of this Section 12.7, no Person shall be liable under this Article 12 for any consequential, punitive, special, incidental or indirect Damages, including lost profits and diminution in value, except to the extent awarded by a
court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including the second sentence of Section 2.1 and Section 12.5, the restriction in the
preceding sentence on the right of a party hereunder to recover consequential, punitive, special, incidental and indirect Damages, including lost profits and diminution in value, shall not apply where the Seller Parties fail to sell all of the
Importer Interest to the Buyers after all conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the Seller Parties’ obligations to sell the Importer Interest to the Buyers hereunder have been satisfied or waived. 

12.8 Accuracy and Compliance. The right to indemnification or other remedy based on any representations, warranties,
obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents, will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any notice or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired)
at any time, whether before or after the date hereof or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy
of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements. 

ARTICLE 13 

TERMINATION OF JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENTS 
 Effective as of the Closing, the parties hereto agree, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, that each of the agreements included on Schedule 13.1 (the “Terminated

THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.12. 

14.13 Specific Performance. 
 (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby agree that (i) the Importer Interest is a unique property, and (ii) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached, and that monetary Damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any failure to purchase or sell the Importer Interest or consummate the Brewery
Transaction or for any such Damages. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5 and Section 12.7, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any Breach or threatened Breach by ABI, on
the one hand, or the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, ABI, on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, shall be entitled, in addition to all other
remedies available under Law or equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain Breaches or threatened Breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to
prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable) under this Agreement, and this right shall include the right of ABI to cause CBI to fully enforce the terms of the
Financing Commitment, including by requiring CBI to file one or more lawsuits against the lenders party to the Financing Commitment to fully enforce the obligations of such lenders under the Financing Commitment, as well as the right of CBI to cause
ABI to cause the Importer Interest to be transferred to Constellation Beers and CBBH upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Seller Parties’ obligation to transfer such Importer Interest to Constellation Beers and CBBH. 

(b) Each of ABI, on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability
of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain Breaches or threatened Breaches of this Agreement by ABI or the Buyer Parties, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent
Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the

covenants and obligations of ABI or the Buyer Parties, as applicable, under this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to
enforce compliance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such Order or injunction. Subject to Section 12.5 and Section 12.7, the
parties hereto further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 14.13, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this
Agreement (including monetary Damages) and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 14.13 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific
performance under this Section 14.13 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 11 (and pursuing Damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal Proceeding pursuant to this
Section 14.13 or anything set forth in this Section 14.13 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 11 or pursue any other remedies under this
Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that ABI may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the Drag-Along Right, provided that ABI shall not be
permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and to consummate a Participatory Transaction. Unless the Closing has occurred, ABI’s right to specific performance contained in Section 14.13 and its rights
pursuant to the Drag-Along Right in Section 12.5(b) shall be its sole and exclusive remedy for any Breach or threatened Breach of this Agreement by the Buyer Parties. 

14.14 Obligations of ABI and Seller. Whenever this Agreement requires Seller to take any action, such requirement shall be
deemed to include an undertaking on the part of ABI to use reasonable best efforts to cause Seller to take such action (it being understood that ABI shall have no obligation to actually cause Seller to take any action or refrain from taking any
action hereunder unless and until the GM Transaction Closing has occurred). 
 14.15 Adjustments to Transactions.
The parties hereto acknowledge that it may become necessary or advisable after the date of this Agreement to adjust or modify the structure of the various transactions described in this Agreement and, subject to Section 9.1, agree to
cooperate in good faith in order to preserve the economic benefits reasonably expected to be achieved by each of the parties hereto and to consider and, to the extent mutually agreed, effectuate the adjustments or modifications reasonably requested
by any other party by amending the terms of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents; provided that, subject to Section 9.1, no such adjustment or modification shall, in any material respect, adversely affect the
rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement or disadvantage any party, or reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and further provided that,
subject to Section 9.1, ABI shall have the right to amend any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with the consent of the Buyer Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it
being agreed and understood that: (a) it would be unreasonable for the Buyer Parties to withhold, delay or condition their consent if any such amendment is beneficial, or not adverse in any respect, to the rights and obligations of the Buyer
Parties hereunder or thereunder; (b) if any of the Seller Parties, Supplier or Marcas Modelo relinquishes any right it may have against the Buyer Parties or the Importer hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, or if
the economics of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction

Documents, as applicable, are modified or supplemented to the benefit of the Buyer Parties or the Importer, as applicable, such changes to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document shall
be considered as beneficial, and not adverse, to the rights and obligations of the Buyer Parties or the Importer, as applicable, hereunder or under such other Transaction Document; and (c) it would be reasonable for the Buyer Parties to
withhold, delay or condition their consent if any such amendment would be materially adverse to the lenders and other Persons providing the Financing). For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any conflict between the terms of this
Section 14.15 and the terms of Section 9.1, the terms of Section 9.1 shall govern. 

14.16 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 14.3(b), the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated
into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If, for any reason, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, the
Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 
 14.17
References to the Original Purchase Agreement. After giving effect to this Agreement, each reference in the Original Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” or words
of like import referring to the Original Purchase Agreement shall refer to this Agreement.
