         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made effective as of the
1st day of September, 1999 (the "Commencement Date"), by and between U S
LIQUIDS INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), and Harry O.
Nicodemus IV (the "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to employ the Employee upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth; and

         WHEREAS, the Employee desires to be so employed upon such terms and
conditions;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       EMPLOYMENT. The Corporation shall employ the Employee, and the
Employee shall serve, as Vice President and Controller of the Corporation on the
terms set forth herein.

         2.       DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

                  2.1 AS VICE PRESIDENT AND CONTROLLER. As Vice President and
Controller, the Employee shall have overall responsibility for management of the
Corporation's accounting functions. The Employee shall report directly to the
Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and shall perform such duties as are
commensurate with his positions as Vice President and Controller. The Employee's
place of employment shall be in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, subject to
travel necessary for the performance of his duties hereunder. The Corporation
shall provide to the Employee adequate office facilities and staff commensurate
with his position to enable him to perform his duties hereunder.

                  2.2 EXTENT OF SERVICES. The Employee shall devote such of his
time as is necessary to fully and properly carry out his duties and
responsibilities. However, this Agreement shall not prohibit the Employee from
engaging in other activities, whether for family, recreation, investment, civic,
charity, or other purposes, so long as those activities do not unduly interfere
with the ability of the Employee to carry out his duties and responsibilities
hereunder and so long as they are not inconsistent or competitive with the
interests of the Corporation.

                  2.3 DUTY OF LOYALTY. The Employee recognizes that he owes a
duty of loyalty and good faith to the Corporation (including any subsidiary
thereof) and agrees that during the term of this Agreement he will not take
advantage of any corporate opportunity of the Corporation, engage in
self-dealing with the Corporation, sell or disclose any confidential or
proprietary

<PAGE>

information of the Corporation, or have or obtain any material economic
interest in any entity or arrangement which is competitive with the business
of the Corporation or engage in any activities which are competitive with the
business of the Corporation, without first disclosing all facts and details
relating thereto to the Board of Directors and obtaining the approval of the
Board of Directors.

         3.       COMPENSATION.

                  3.1 BASE SALARY. The Corporation shall pay to the Employee for
the services to be rendered by the Employee hereunder a base salary (the "Base
Salary") at the rate of $115,000 per year, payable in equal installments
(subject to withholding tax) in accordance with the Corporation's regular
payroll schedule, which as of the date of this Agreement is bi-weekly on
Fridays. Such Base Salary as in effect from time to time may be increased
annually or more often as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors in its sole discretion. However, the Base Salary payable to the
Employee from time to time hereunder shall not be decreased.

                  3.2 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Each calendar year during the term
of this Agreement, the Corporation will adopt an incentive compensation plan for
certain of its executive employees, including the Employee. This incentive
compensation plan will provide for incentive bonus compensation ("Incentive
Compensation") to be paid to the Employee based upon the performance of the
Employee and the results of the Corporation's business and operations. The
parties agree that the Employee's potential Incentive Compensation for the 2000
calendar year shall not exceed fifty percent of the Employee's Base Salary. For
subsequent calendar years, the ceiling on the Employee's Incentive Compensation
shall be reevaluated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and
may be increased to reflect the Employee's performance and his contribution to
the overall success of the Company.

         4.       BENEFITS.

                  4.1 EXECUTIVE BENEFITS GENERALLY. The Employee shall be
entitled to participate in and receive benefits from any insurance, medical,
dental, health and accident, hospitalization, disability, stock purchase,
defined benefit, defined contribution, or other employee benefit plan of the
Corporation which may be in effect at any time during the course of his
employment with the Corporation and which is generally available to executives
of the Corporation (these being referred to as the Employee's "Executive
Benefits").

                  4.2 AUTOMOBILE. If and at such time that it becomes the
policy of the Corporation to provide automobiles or an automobile allowance
to the Corporation's senior executives for their use in connection with the
Corporation's business, the Corporation shall provide such an automobile or
an automobile allowance to the Employee in accordance with such policy.

                  4.3 REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall reimburse
the Employee for all reasonable and ordinary expenses incurred by him on behalf
of the Corporation in the course of his duties hereunder upon the presentation
by the Employee of appropriate documentation substantiating the amount of and
purpose for which such expenses were incurred.

                  4.4 VACATIONS. The Employee shall be entitled to three (3)
weeks of paid vacation in each calendar year (to be prorated for any calendar
year during which the Employee is employed by the Corporation for less than the
full calendar year), which vacation shall be taken at times consistent with the
performance by the Employee of his obligations hereunder. Any vacation time not
fully used by the Employee in any one (1) calendar year may be carried over for
one (1) additional calendar year. If any such vacation time is carried over to a
subsequent calendar year, then any vacation time taken in the subsequent
calendar year shall be applied first against the carryover vacation time from
the prior calendar year.

         5. DISABILITY OR DEATH. In the event the Employee incurs a disability,
which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any mental or physical illness,
injury, or condition which results in the Employee being unable to fulfill his
duties under this Agreement on a regular basis, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless continue to provide to the Employee during such period or periods
of disability all compensation and benefits under this Agreement, except that,
during any one (1) calendar year the Corporation shall not be required to pay
the Base Salary or Incentive Compensation of the Employee for periods of
disability in excess of 180 days in total.

         6. NONCOMPETITION DURING EMPLOYMENT. During the term of his employment
by the Corporation, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in
any business competitive with that of the Corporation; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the Employee from investing in
securities of any company having a class of securities which is publicly traded,
so long as such investment holdings do not, in the aggregate, constitute more
than 5% of any class of such company's securities.

         7.       TERM OF EMPLOYMENT AND RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  7.1 TERM AND SCHEDULED TERMINATION DATE. The term of
Employee's employment hereunder shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall
continue for a term of three (3) years from the Commencement Date (this date of
termination of his employment being referred to as the "Scheduled Termination
Date"). However, as of each anniversary date of the Commencement Date, the
Scheduled Termination Date shall automatically be extended for a successive
one-year period of time, unless more than ninety (90) days prior to the
occurrence of such anniversary date, either party gives notice to the other that
such Scheduled Termination Date shall not thereafter be so extended. If any such
notice is given, then the Scheduled Termination Date hereof shall not be
automatically extended upon the future occurrence of any such anniversary date.
Following the Scheduled Termination Date, the Employee shall not be entitled to
earn any further compensation or benefits under this Agreement.

                  7.2      TERMINATION BY THE CORPORATION WITHOUT CAUSE.

                  (a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement at any time,
         without cause and for any reason, upon notice to the Employee setting
         forth the date of termination (this date of termination and any other
         date of termination prior to the Scheduled Termination Date is referred
         to as the "Early Termination Date"). In this event, the Employee shall
         be entitled to continue to receive, for a period of one (1) year after
         the Early Termination Date, the same Base Salary which the Employee was
         receiving at the time of such Early Termination Date (in the manner and
         as described in Section 3.1) and all Executive Benefits which the
         Employee was receiving or entitled to receive as of such Early
         Termination Date (in the manner and as described in Section 4.1).
         Further, all outstanding stock options which shall have been granted to
         the Employee shall immediately become exercisable (if not already
         exercisable in full) and shall continue in full force and effect.

                  (b) In the event the Employee suffers from a disability (as
         defined in Section 5) for a period of 180 business days out of any 360
         consecutive business day period, then the Corporation may at any time
         no later than thirty (30) days following the end of said 360-day period
         terminate the employment of the Employee without cause, by notice to
         the Employee setting forth the effective Early Termination Date.
         However, the Corporation shall not have the right to terminate the
         employment of the Employee hereunder if, at the time the Corporation
         gives notice of termination to the Employee, the Employee has then
         again begun to render services for the Corporation as required
         hereunder. Following an Early Termination Date because of disability,
         the Employee shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary then in
         effect for a period of one (1) year following his Early Termination
         Date and shall be entitled to retain all of his Executive Benefits for
         a period of one (1) year following his Early Termination Date. Further,
         the Employee's stock options, to the extent not fully vested, would
         continue to vest during the one-year period following his Early
         Termination Date.

                  (c) This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the
         Employee's death. In addition to any other compensation or benefits
         payable or accrued to the benefit of the Employee as of the date of his
         death, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee's executor or legal
         representative an amount in cash equal to one (1) times the Employee's
         Base Salary then in effect at the time of his death.

                  7.3 BY THE CORPORATION WITH CAUSE. The Corporation may
terminate this Agreement at any time for cause, by notice to the Employee
setting forth the Early Termination Date. The term "cause" shall mean (a) a
willful and recurring refusal of the Employee to perform his duties,
responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement, which refusal continues
for at least thirty (30) days after notice thereof is given to the Employee
by the Corporation setting forth the facts upon which the notice is based,
(b) the Employee's conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (c)
the Employee's fraud regarding any material matter with respect to the
business or operations of the Corporation. Following the occurrence of the
Early Termination Date of the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Employee for cause, then the Employee shall not be entitled to earn any further
compensation or benefits under this Agreement.

                  7.4 BY EMPLOYEE WITHOUT CAUSE. The Employee may terminate this
Agreement at any time, without cause and for any reason, upon notice to the
Corporation setting forth the Employee's Early Termination Date. In such event,
the Employee shall not be entitled to earn any further compensation or benefits
under this Agreement.

                  7.5 BY EMPLOYEE WITH CAUSE. The Employee may terminate this
Agreement at any time with cause upon notice to the Corporation setting forth
the Early Termination Date. The term "cause" shall mean a breach of this
Agreement in any material way by the Corporation, which breach is not cured
within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach to the Corporation by the
Employee setting forth the facts upon which the notice is based. In the event of
such Early Termination Date, then from the Early Termination Date until the
Scheduled Termination Date, the Employee shall be entitled to continue to
receive, the same Base Salary which the Employee was receiving at the time of
such Early Termination Date (in the manner and as described in Section 3.1) and
all Executive Benefits which the Employee was receiving or entitled to receive
as of such Early Termination Date (in the manner and as described in Section
4.1). Further, all outstanding stock options which shall have been granted to
the Employee shall become immediately exercisable (if not already exercisable in
full) and shall continue in full force and effect.

                  7.6 COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENTS, INDEMNIFICATION, AND
BENEFITS PAYABLE OR ACCRUED AS OF TERMINATION DATE. In the event this Agreement
is terminated, whether upon the Scheduled Termination Date or an Early
Termination Date, and regardless of the reason for termination, the Employee
shall be entitled to receive all compensation, reimbursements, and benefits
hereunder which were either payable to the Employee, or which had accrued to the
benefit of the Employee or which had been earned by the Employee as of the date
of termination (the "Termination Date"). Any such compensation, reimbursements,
or benefits shall be payable or provided to the Employee no less quickly than
they would have been payable or provided to the Employee had the Termination
Date not occurred. For these purposes, the Employee's compensation shall include
a pro rata portion of the Incentive Compensation payable to the Employee under
Section 3.2. Further, the Employee shall be entitled to receive any
indemnification payments that may have accrued but have not been paid or that
may thereafter become payable to the Employee pursuant to the provisions of the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or similar policy, plan or
agreement relating to the indemnification of directors or officers of the
Corporation.

         8.       CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                  8.1 This Section 8 shall become effective, but not operative,
immediately upon the Commencement Date and shall remain in effect so long as the
Employee remains employed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall not be
operative unless and until there has been a Change

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

in Control, as defined in Section 8.4 hereof. Upon such a Change in Control,
this Section 8 shall become operative immediately.

                  8.2 If a Change in Control occurs (i) while the Employee is
employed by the Corporation hereunder, or (ii) subsequent to the Termination
Date of the Employee's employment hereunder other than by the Corporation for
cause, or death or disability, and prior to the later of the first anniversary
of such Termination Date or the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, or
(iii) within 180 days of the Scheduled Termination Date, the Employee may, in
his sole discretion, within twelve (12) months after the date of the Change in
Control, give notice to the Corporation that he intends to elect to exercise his
rights under this Section 8 (the "Notice of Intention"). Within thirty (30) days
after the Corporation's receipt of the Notice of Intention, the Corporation
shall provide written notice to the Employee setting forth the Corporation's
computation of the amount that would be payable pursuant to Section 8.3,
accompanied by the written opinion of the Corporation's independent certified
public accountants confirming the Corporation's computation. If the Employee
takes exception to the Corporation's computation of such amount, the Employee
may (but shall not be prejudiced in this right to later contest the amount
actually paid by failure to do so) give a further written notice to the
Corporation setting forth in reasonable detail the Employee's exceptions to the
Corporation's computation, accompanied by the written opinion of the Employee's
tax advisor confirming the basis for such exceptions. Exercise by the Employee
of his rights pursuant to this Section 8 shall only be made by giving further
notice to the Corporation (the "Notice of Exercise") within six (6) months from
the date of the Notice of Intention.

                  8.3 If the Employee gives the Notice of Exercise described in
Section 8.2 to the Corporation, the Termination Date of his employment hereunder
shall then occur; all outstanding stock options which are not then exercisable
shall immediately become exercisable in full; and the Corporation shall pay to
the Employee a lump sum amount equal to $1.00 less than three (3) times the
Employee's "base amount" (as defined by Section 280(G), Part IX, Subchapter B,
Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The Corporation
shall, within ten (10) business days after the date of the Notice of Exercise,
deliver to the Employee its cashier's check in the amount payable pursuant to
this Section 8.3, and payment of such amount shall terminate the Employee's
rights to receive any and all other compensation, reimbursements,
indemnification, or benefits under this Agreement, other than those which are
payable to or have accrued to the Employee as described in Section 7.6.

                  8.4 For the purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control
shall mean (i) a reportable change in control under the proxy rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the acquisition of a 30%
beneficial voting interest in the Corporation (other than such acquisition by
Employee or an affiliate of Employee), or (ii) a change in any calendar year of
such number of directors as constitutes a majority of the board of directors of
the Corporation, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the
Corporation's shareholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then in office who were directors at the
beginning of the calendar year.

         9. POST-EMPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES.

                  9.5 For a period of two (2) years after the Employee's
Termination Date, except for a termination subsequent to a Change in Control of
the Corporation and further except for a termination by the Employee pursuant to
Section 7.5 hereof, then the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage
in any business competitive with that of the Corporation and its subsidiaries;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the
Employee from investing in securities which are publicly traded, so long as such
investment holdings do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than 5% of any
class of such company's securities.

                  9.6 The Employee acknowledges that he has been employed for
his special talents and that his leaving the employ of the Corporation would
seriously and adversely affect the business of the Corporation. In addition to
all remedies permitted by law or in equity and without limiting any injunctive
or other relief to which the Corporation may be entitled in respect of any
obligation of the Employee, the Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive
relief to enforce the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof; provided, that the
Corporation shall not be entitled to injunctive relief or any other relief with
respect to Section 9.1 hereof if at the time such relief is sought the
Corporation has been in default of any of its obligations to the Employee
pursuant to any of the terms of Sections 7.2, 7.5, or 7.6 hereof.

                  9.7 The Employee will not, during the period of two (2) years
after his Termination Date, except for a termination subsequent to a Change in
Control of the Corporation and further except for a termination by the Employee
pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof, either in the Employee's individual capacity or
as agent for another, hire or offer to hire or entice away any person who has
been an officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries at any time during the immediately preceding year or in any other
manner persuade or attempt to persuade any of such persons to discontinue their
relationship with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries nor divert or
attempt to divert from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries any business
whatsoever by influencing or attempting to influence any customer or supplier of
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to diminish or discontinue its
business with the Corporation or such subsidiary.

         10. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Employee shall not at any time during
the term of this Agreement or after the termination hereof directly or
indirectly divulge, furnish, use, publish or make accessible to any person or
entity any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined). Any records of
Confidential Information prepared by the Employee or which come into Employee's
possession during this Agreement are and remain the property of the Corporation,
and upon termination of Employee's employment all such records and copies
thereof shall be either left with or returned to the Corporation. The term
"Confidential Information" shall mean information disclosed to the Employee or
known, learned, created or observed by him as a consequence of or through his
employment by the Corporation, not generally known in the relevant trade or
industry, about the Corporation's (and its subsidiaries') business activities,
products, customers, suppliers, services and

                                      -7-

procedures, including, but not limited to, information concerning costs, product
performance, customer requirements, advertising, sales promotion, publicity,
sales data, research, finances, accounting, methods, procedures, trade secrets,
business plans, client or supplier lists and records, potential client or
supplier lists, and client or supplier billing. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
"Confidential Information" shall not include information publicly disclosed by
the Corporation or known by the Employee other than because of his employment
with the Corporation.

                                MILLER BREWING COMPANY
                                DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT

Miller Brewing Company ("Miller") and the undersigned Distributor recognize
that the success of Miller and each of its authorized distributors depends
largely on the reputation and competitiveness of Miller products and
distributors' performance, and on how well each fulfills its responsibilities
to one another and our customers.  Therefore, this Agreement imposes on both
Miller and Distributor an obligation of good faith in its performance or
enforcement. Conformance with the express terms of this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute compliance with such good faith obligation.

Miller agrees to sell and the Distributor agrees to buy and market those
products listed on the Distributor Data Sheet attached hereto, pursuant to the
following terms and conditions:

SECTION 1     DISTRIBUTOR'S AREA AND MILLER PRODUCTS.

              1.1    EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY.  The following provisions shall be
applicable during all such times as permitted by applicable state or federal law
or regulation:

                     Miller hereby appoints Distributor as its sole
distributor within the geographic area described in the Distributor Data
Sheet ("Distributor's Area") for the products listed in the Distributor Data
Sheet ("Miller products").  Except upon the receipt of Miller's prior written
approval and compliance with such conditions Miller may require:  Distributor
shall not sell or supply Miller products to any retail location within
another authorized Miller distributor's area; nor to any person Distributor
has reason to believe will sell or supply all or part of such products to any
retail location within another authorized Miller distributor's area; nor to
any retail location that sells, delivers or transfers such products to other
retail locations; nor to any person or entity who is engaged in the sale of
the Miller products for consumption outside of Distributor's Area; nor to any
retail location during such period when retailer's license to do business or
sell such products has been suspended by a governmental entity.  Nothing in
this Section shall prevent Distributor from selling or supplying Miller
products to another authorized Miller distributor for the purpose of
eliminating product shortages or inventory imbalances.  If Distributor fails
to comply with the provisions of this Section 1.1, Miller shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the procedures described
in Section 7.2.

              1.2    NON-EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY.  The following provisions, rather
than the provisions of Section 1.1 above, shall apply whenever any of the
provisions of Section 1.1 above are expressly prohibited by any final court
order or precluded by any applicable statute or regulation:

                     Miller hereby appoints Distributor as a distributor
within the geographic area described in the Distributor Data Sheet
("Distributor's Area") for the products listed in the Distributor Data Sheet
("Miller products").  Distributor's primary responsibility shall be to comply
with the Distributor obligations in accordance with this Agreement with
respect to retail locations in Distributor's Area.  If Distributor sells or
supplies Miller products to retail locations outside Distributor's Area or to
any person (other than an authorized Miller distributor) who Distributor has
reason to believe will sell or supply all or part of such products to retail
locations outside Distributor's Area, Distributor's obligations under Section
3 of this Agreement shall extend to each such retail location.  Distributor
shall notify Miller immediately of all such sales in order to ensure
effective monitoring of Distributor's compliance with all such obligations.

              1.3    PERMITTED MILLER SALES.  Miller reserves and shall have the
right to sell directly, if permitted by applicable law, to purchasers of Miller
products who are located in Distributor's Area where the retail sale or
consumption of such Miller products will occur outside Distributor's Area, or
are foreign governmental entities.

<PAGE>

              1.4    LACK OF SERVICE WITHIN TERRITORY.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section, Miller may, after giving notice to Distributor,
permit another person or persons to sell, or Miller may sell, one or more Miller
products within all or any part of Distributor's Area if Distributor is unable
or unwilling to provide uninterrupted service to all retail locations within all
or any part of Distributor's Area, provided, where required by law, permission
to do so is obtained from the appropriate governmental regulatory agency.  If
Distributor regains its ability and willingness to service retail locations as
required under this Agreement, Miller shall reinstate Distributor to provide
such service, unless Miller has pursued additional remedies as provided herein
or by law and provided such reinstatement does not violate any agreement or law
applicable to Miller,

              1.5    NEW BRANDS.  This Agreement shall extend only to the brands
of Miller products listed on the Distributor Data Sheet.  If Distributor is in
full compliance with this Agreement, and if the grant of such rights does not
contravene or breach any agreement or law applicable to Miller, Distributor
shall have the right to have added to the Distributor Data Sheet those
additional malt beverage brands (including brand extension of the Miller
products) which are sold by Miller generally to authorized Miller distributors
and which Miller decides to have sold in Distributor's Area; provided that such
right, if exercised by Distributor, must be exercised within ninety (90) days
after such brand is introduced by Miller and is available to be sold in
Distributor's Area.

              1.6    RESERVATIONS OF RIGHTS.  Miller reserves the unqualified
right to manage and conduct its business in all respects and shall be free at
all times to maintain or alter the formula, ingredients, labeling or packaging
of its products; to determine the prices or other terms on which it sells Miller
products; to produce or sell any particular brands; to discontinue the sale of
any of its products, packages or containers in any geographic area; and to make
all other decisions concerning the conduct of Miller's business.

SECTION 2     SALES OF PRODUCT.

              2.1    SALE TERMS.  The prices charged by Miller to Distributor
for Miller products and other applicable terms of sale shall be those
established by Miller and in effect on the date of shipment.  Miller shall
inform Distributor of its prices and other applicable terms of sale in writing
from time to time, but Miller shall have the unlimited right to change prices
and to establish terms of sale at any time.

              2.2    PAYMENT TERMS.  All sales by Miller to Distributor shall be
on a cash basis or on such credit terms as Miller, in its sole discretion, may
establish from time to time.  Miller shall not be obligated to extend credit to
Distributor or to assist Distributor in securing credit.  Miller's acceptance of
any order from Distributor is subject to the condition that Distributor's
account with Miller will, on the date fixed for shipment, permit the shipment of
such order in compliance, with whatever credit terms Miller has established.
Irrespective of any designation by Distributor, Miller may, in its sole
discretion, apply, offset, reapply or transfer any payments made by or credit
due Distributor against the oldest item of account or indebtedness owed to
Miller.  Regardless of the method of payment, Distributor hereby grants, and
Miller shall retain, a security interest in products and containers delivered to
Distributor until Miller receives full payment of all monies owed to Miller.
Upon Miller's request, Distributor shall execute such documents as are necessary
to perfect Miller's security interest.

              2.3    ORDERS.  All orders for Miller products placed by
Distributor shall be subject to Millers acceptance.  Miller shall have the right
to specify the forms, procedures and processes (including electronic ordering
systems) governing the placement and fulfillment of such orders, including the
designation of the carrier, source brewery and the routing to be used for
delivery of such accepted orders.  In the event that Miller is restricted in the
production, sale or delivery of its products by capacity limitations, acts of
governmental authority, strikes or any other cause, natural or otherwise, beyond
Miller's control, Miller shall not be compelled to honor previously accepted
orders, but shall distribute available products among distributors in a fair and
equitable manner.

<PAGE>

              2.4    TAXES.  Distributor shall be responsible for all federal,
state and local sales, use, personal property, inventory and other taxes that
may be assessed on any Miller products or other Miller property in Distributor's
possession at the time such tax is assessed or determined.  Distributor shall
also be responsible for any local, state and federal excise taxes on the
shipment of Miller products to Distributor to the extent that such excise taxes
are not included in Miller's prices.

SECTION 3     DISTRIBUTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

              3.1    PROPER LICENSING.  Distributor shall sell Miller products
only to retailers and other persons to whom Distributor is duly licensed to sell
such products.  Distributor shall comply with all valid laws, regulations,
ordinances and orders, including those applicable to the sale of Miller
products, Distributor's performance under this Agreement, and the conduct of
Distributor's business.  Distributor shall maintain all permits and licenses
necessary to sell and distribute Miller products in Distributor's Area.
Distributor shall submit to Miller, if requested by Miller, copies of all such
permits and licenses, subsequent amendments thereto, renewals thereof, and all
applications for such permits, licenses, amendments or renewals.

              3.2    PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.  Distributor shall, by using its
best efforts, vigorously and aggressively sell, deliver, merchandise, and
promote the full package line of Miller products listed on the Distributor Data
Sheet.  Distributor shall also comply at all times with those Distributor
obligations described in the Performance Standards and its subparts, including
Sales, Operations, Quality, and Finance ("the Standards"), receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged.  The Standards may be modified from time to time by Miller
upon the giving of reasonable notice to Distributor and any such modifications
shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement.  The Standards, as modified
from time to time by Miller, shall be identical for all other authorized Miller
distributors.

                     (a)    SALES.  Distributor shall prepare and submit to
Miller an annual business plan in a form and content acceptable to Miller
("Business Plan"), which shall include sales, volume, distribution and financial
goals in total and by key channels; retail service policies; sales and
merchandising execution standards; point of sale plans; and management and
succession plans.  The Business Plan shall be subject to Miller's review and
written approval and shall be completed and ready to implement by January 1 of
each calendar year.  Distributor and Manager (as defined in Section 4 below)
shall implement the approved Business Plan, including preparation and
implementation of detailed monthly sales plans, to achieve the goals established
therein; comply fully with the Business Plan and other commitments made to
Miller and, consult with Miller on adjustments to the Business Plan that may be
needed from time to time to meet changing market conditions.

                     (b)    OPERATIONS.  Distributor shall accurately forecast
and order Miller products in accordance with Miller's then current procedures;
maintain an inventory of Miller products at levels determined by Miller and
sufficient to prevent out-of-stock occurrences; maintain a clean, operational,
controlled-temperature warehouse(s) of sufficient capacity to meet Miller's
inventory, storage, and quality control requirements; and, properly handle and
protect from damage all Miller products and property owned by Miller.

                     (c)    QUALITY.  Distributor shall comply with Miller's
code date requirements; prevent Miller products bearing expired code dates
("overage Miller products") from reaching retailers or consumers; retrieve
overage Miller products from retail locations; replace such products with
nonoverage Miller products at no cost to the retailer; and, destroy promptly any
damaged or overage Miller products at no cost to Miller.  Distributor
acknowledges that its compliance with these Standards is essential to the
successful marketing of Miller products and to the preservation and enhancement
of Miller's trademarks and goodwill.

                     (d)    FINANCE.  Distributor shall maintain sufficient
working capital to ensure that its facilities, equipment, inventory, and
personnel are adequate to compete effectively with other non-Miller brands of
malt beverages.  Distributor shall purchase and maintain sufficient insurance
coverage; shall pay all federal

                                       3

<PAGE>

state and local taxes imposed on it; and shall maintain a positive tangible
net worth.  Distributor shall furnish to Miller annually within one hundred
and twenty (120) days after Distributor's fiscal year end financial
statements in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis, prepared by an independent accountant. The
financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement,
statement of cash flow, and appropriate notes to the financial statements.
Distributor shall furnish to Miller annually, in the Business Plan, both a
current year and two (2) year financial plan to include balance sheet, income
statement, and statement of cash flow, and appropriate notes supporting the
financial plans.

              3.3    HOURS OF OPERATION.  Distributor shall be open for business
during all hours and days necessary to receive products shipped from Miller and
to properly service retailers, including hours necessary to make regular
deliveries of Miller products with sufficient frequency to prevent retailer
out-of-stock occurrences.

              3.4    SUBMISSIONS TO MILLER.  Distributor shall submit only
complete and accurate notices, reports, claims, reimbursement requests, payment
requests or other communications to Miller.  Records of all transactions,
including all price promotion allowance programs instituted by Miller, shall be
maintained by Distributor for a minimum of three (3) years or as prescribed by
state law, whichever is longer.  Miller shall have the right to audit all such
records.  For any Miller price promotion allowance program, Distributor shall be
required to file forms prescribed by Miller from time to time.  Miller may audit
any reimbursement claims filed by Distributor.  In the event Miller finds errors
greater than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or such other dollar amount set
by Miller from time to time, Miller may calculate the percentage rate of error
and, using that percentage rate of error, extrapolate the amount owed to Miller
for up to the prior three (3) years total reimbursement claims made by
Distributor to Miller.  Miller shall notify Distributor of the extrapolated
audit results.  Within thirty (30) days of such notice, Distributor must either
pay the extrapolated amount to Miller or pay for the cost of a full audit by
Miller or Miller's designee.  Miller reserves the right to enforce other
appropriate remedies, including those described in Section 7 below.

              3.5    MILLER PROPERTY, PROPRIETARY MATERIALS AND INFORMATION.
All kegs, computer software, and other assets owned by Miller shall remain the
property of Miller and shall be returned to Miller in accordance with Miller's
instructions.  Miller trade secrets or other Miller proprietary materials (such
as point-of-sale, "P.O.S.") and information disclosed to Distributor shall be
retained in confidence by Distributor and shall only be used in the performance
of its obligations in accordance with this Agreement during the term of this
Agreement and thereafter so long as such materials and information remains a
trade secret or proprietary to Miller.

              3.6    EMPLOYEES.  Distributor shall recruit and retain a
qualified workforce of employees who reflect the diverse make-up of
Distributor's Area, and who are properly trained and adequately compensated to
meet Distributor's obligations hereunder.

              3.7    OTHER OR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.  Distributor shall
preserve and enhance the high quality image, reputation and goodwill of Miller
and Miller products.  Distributor shall comply with the other provisions of this
Agreement and shall observe all other requirements that Miller may reasonably
impose from time to time for the vigorous and aggressive delivery,
merchandising, promotion and sale of Miller products.

SECTION 4     DISTRIBUTOR MANAGEMENT.

              4.1    MANAGER DESIGNATION.  Distributor agrees to have at all
times a Manager approved by Miller.  Distributor shall designate candidate(s) as
described in Section 4.8 below, subject to Miller's approval as described
therein.  If Miller's approval is given, the Manager shall be designated on the
Distributor Data Sheet.  Miller has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon
and in consideration of the personal qualifications of the individual designated
as the Manager.

                                       4

<PAGE>

              4.2    MANAGER RESPONSIBILITIES.  The Manager shall be qualified
to perform the duties described herein, and shall manage Distributor's business
to comply with the Distributor's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.  The
Manager shall be granted the authority by Distributor and shall exercise
day-to-day operating control over the business and finances of Distributor,
including implementation of the Business Plan and the making of staffing and
personnel decisions.  The Manager shall be provided with appropriate incentive
compensation to achieve the objectives in the Business Plan.  (See Distributor
Manager Job Profile referenced in the Sales portion of the Standards.)

              4.3    MANAGER VACANCY.

                     (a)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as granting to the Manager any right to be retained in Distributor's
employ or as interfering with or limiting the sole and exclusive right of
Distributor to terminate the employment of the individual who is the Manager or
to change such individual's duties so that the individual is no longer acting as
the Manager.

                     (b)    Miller shall have the right to withdraw its approval
of the Manager by notifying Distributor of the reasons for such withdrawal,
which reasons may include deficiencies in the Manager's performance or
Distributor's failure to comply with the Business Plan.

                     (c)    Distributor shall notify Miller in writing if the
Manager becomes unable or ceases to manage the Distributor's business, no later
than ten (10) days from the occurrence of such event.  Within sixty (60) days
after Distributor ceases for any reason to have a Manager, Distributor shall
submit to Miller a written application in the form provided by Miller requesting
Miller's approval of a properly qualified candidate selected by Distributor for
the then vacant Manager position.  Miller shall be provided with all information
reasonably related to the candidate's qualifications to serve as the Manager and
shall have the right to interview the candidate.

                     (d)    Within forty-five (45) days after the date of
receipt of Distributor's application for a new Manager, Miller shall notify
Distributor of Miller's approval or disapproval of the proposed Manager.  If
Miller does not approve the proposed Manager, Distributor shall submit another
application within sixty (60) days and the procedures described herein shall be
repeated as often as necessary, provided that if a Manager is not approved
within one hundred and eighty (180) days after a vacancy has occurred, Miller
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
procedures described in Section 7.2.  Any changes in the identity of the Manager
shall be entered on the Distributor Data Sheet.

              4.4    SUCCESSION PLANNING.  Distributor shall identify key
positions and the persons assigned to those positions within its business and
shall include succession and development plans for these persons in the Business
Plan.

SECTION 5     DISTRIBUTOR OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS.

              5.1    TRANSFER UPON OWNER'S DEATH.

                     (a)    OWNERSHIP TRANSFER NOTIFICATION.  Each owner of
Distributor shall submit for Miller's prior written approval an Ownership
Transfer Notification in the form of Schedule V to the Distributor Data Sheet.
Miller's approval of the Ownership Transfer Notification shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  Except as provided in Section 5.1(c) below, upon the
death of an owner of Distributor, the interest of such owner may be conveyed
only as provided in the approved Ownership Transfer Notification.

                     (b)    MILLER'S RIGHT TO PURCHASE.  If (1) an owner of
Distributor dies without an approved Ownership Transfer Notification and the
estate of such owner attempts to sell, transfer or dispose of

                                       5
<PAGE>

("Convey") the ownership interest in a manner not permitted under Section
5.1(c) below, or (2) a breach or default occurs under the Ownership Transfer
Notification, then Miller shall have the right and option to purchase
Distributor's Miller business in accordance with the procedures described in
Section 7.1(b).  Miller may designate a third party who shall upon such
designation be granted the rights and obligations granted to Miller under
this Section, without recourse to Miller.

                     (c)    TRANSFER TO FAMILY MEMBER.  The prior written
approval of Miller shall not be required for the sale, transfer or disposition
("Transfer") at death of Distributor's business or any ownership interest
therein to a family member, provided that (1) such Transfer does not cause a
substantial adverse financial effect on the business or operations of
Distributor, and (2) upon such Transfer, Distributor shall have a Manager
approved by Miller.  Any subsequent change in control of Distributor's business,
as defined in Section 5.3 below, shall require Miller's prior written approval.
The Transfer to a trust for the benefit of a family member shall be governed by
Section 5.3 below.  Family member is defined as the deceased owner's spouse,
child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister who is entitled to inherit the
deceased owner's ownership interest under the terms of the deceased owner's will
or the laws of intestate succession.

              5.2    TRANSFER OF DISTRIBUTOR'S BUSINESS.  In transactions other
than as provided for under Section 5.1 above, Distributor shall have the right
to Convey its entire business or any part of its business to an approved
purchaser, except when such disposition results in the Transfer of Distributor's
rights or obligations under this Agreement, or results in the inability of
Distributor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, in which event
Distributor shall follow the procedures and comply with the conditions set forth
in this Section:

                     (a)    LETTER OF INTENT.  Prior to any such Transfer,
Distributor shall deliver to Miller a bona fide nonbinding letter of intent
negotiated on an arm's length basis duly executed by Distributor and the
proposed purchaser, which letter of intent shall be expressly made subject to
Miller's rights described in this Section and shall set forth all of the
essential terms of the transaction, including the property subject to the
Transfer; the consideration to be paid; the representations and warranties to be
given by Distributor; and, all other material terms and conditions which would
be contained in a definitive purchase and sale agreement.  Such letter of intent
and a distributor application completed by the proposed purchaser shall be
submitted to Miller within five (5) days after execution by Distributor of the
letter of intent.

                     (b)    DUE DILIGENCE.  Upon receipt of the letter of
intent, Miller shall have (during Distributor's normal business hours) access to
and the right to inspect Distributor's business and its books and records,
including its financial statements, appraisals, environment assessments, assets
and liabilities, and Distributor shall cooperate in providing such data and
information that Miller may reasonably request.

                     (c)    RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  Upon receipt of the letter
of intent, Miller shall have the irrevocable right and option to purchase
Distributor's business or that part thereof which is the subject of the letter
of intent upon those terms and conditions and for the purchase price (or, if
such purchase price is not a liquidated cash price, for the equivalent cash
value) contained in such letter of intent.  Such terms and conditions shall be
contained in a purchase and sale agreement to be duly executed by Distributor
and Miller, if Miller exercises its right and option.  Miller shall have thirty
(30) days after receipt of the letter of intent and the information Miller may
reasonably request (including appraisals and environmental assessments requested
or commissioned by Miller) to exercise its right and option, which exercise
shall occur when written notice is given to Distributor.  If Miller exercises
its right and option, Distributor shall promptly execute all documents
reasonably required to Convey Distributor's business or part thereof to Miller.

                     (d)    REVIEW OF PROPOSED PURCHASER.  If Miller does not
exercise its right and option described in Section 5.2(c) above, and Distributor
has complied with all terms in Section 5.2(c) above, Miller shall have sixty
(60) days from receipt of the completed distributor application to approve or
disapprove the proposed purchaser and transaction.  Distributor may Convey its
business in accordance with the letter of intent subject to

                                       6

<PAGE>

Miller's prior written approval of the proposed purchaser, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the purchaser's execution of the
current form of this Agreement applicable to other authorized Miller
distributors upon completion of the Transfer.  Miller's approval (if given)
shall be effective for a period of sixty (60) days after issuance (unless
extended by Miller) and thereafter shall be null and void.  Distributor shall
promptly notify Miller of the completion of the Transfer.  Miller shall
notify Distributor in writing if Miller disapproves the proposed purchaser.
The notice will include the reasons for the disapproval.  If Miller
disapproves the proposed purchaser, Distributor shall not Convey its rights
under this Agreement or render itself unable to fulfill its obligations
hereunder unless and until it obtains Miller's approval as described in this
Section 5.2.

                     (e)    RELEASE.  As part of the completion of the Transfer
described in this Section 5.2, (1) Distributor shall pay all sums owed or to be
owing to Miller; and (2) Distributor and Miller shall execute a mutual release
of all claims, of whatever nature, each party may have against the other, except
where such claims may arise out of or result from a breach or default of any
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation by Distributor that
may be contained in the purchase and sale agreement entered into with Miller.

                     (f)    DESIGNEE.  Miller may designate a third party who
shall upon such designation be granted all of the rights and obligations granted
to Miller under Section 5.2(a) through (c) above, without recourse to Miller,
provided that the mutual release described in Section 5.2(e) above shall be
entered into between Miller and Distributor.

              5.3    CHANGE IN CONTROL.  There shall be no change in the
control of Distributor's business, except as provided in Section 5.1(c)
above, without Miller's prior written approval.  As used herein, "a change in
the control of Distributor's business" means any change in ownership
interests, whether by one transaction or by the cumulative effect of several
transactions with the same or different parties, which has the legal or
practical effect of transferring the power to determine Distributor's
business policies.  Such a change in control shall include: (1) any sale,
transfer, change of ownership or other disposition (by merger, share
exchange, sale of stock or otherwise) in either the record or beneficial
ownership of the following:  (A) 10 percent or more of Distributor's voting
stock; (B) if Distributor is not incorporated, a 10 percent or more interest
in Distributor's business; (C) 10 percent or more of the voting stock of a
corporation or entity which owns 50 percent or more of Distributor's voting
stock; and (2) a change in the form of business entity presently used by
Distributor (e.g., a change from individual ownership or a partnership to a
corporation); and (3) the entering into or changing of any agreement
transferring any of the powers that determine the policies under which
Distributor's business shall be operated, including a partner, shareholder or
member voting trust or voting agreement.  Without Miller's prior written
approval, there shall be no grant of stock options, establishment of trusts
to hold stock or an interest in Distributor's business, nor execution of any
agreement by one or more owners of Distributor which provides that, under
certain circumstances, the interest of one of them in Distributor shall be
sold or purchased by one or more of the owners.  It shall be Distributor's
responsibility to notify all of the owners of Distributor of the provisions
of this Section, to take those actions necessary to make such provisions
enforceable with respect to the owners of Distributor, and to notify Miller
promptly in writing of any sale, transfer, change of ownership or any other
disposition of an ownership interest in Distributor.

              5.4    APPROVAL CRITERIA.  In determining whether to approve or
disapprove, as the case may be, a proposed Transfer, change of ownership or any
other disposition of an ownership interest in Distributor's business under this
Section 5, Miller may consider the qualifications of the proposed purchaser or
transferee to fulfill the obligations of this Agreement, the effects of the
resulting business combination, the resulting territory configuration, the
potential advantages of alternative market combinations, and such other facts
and circumstances that Miller reasonably may deem to be relevant.  In evaluating
the proposed purchaser's or transferee's qualifications, Miller may consider
such factors as it deems appropriate, including:

                     (a)    Whether the proposed purchaser or transferee has the
financial resources to purchase and own Distributor or the specified interest in
it upon terms which will not jeopardize the future

                                       7

<PAGE>

operation of the Distributor business, and whether under such ownership
Distributor will be able to provide the financial support (including but not
limited to market spending, capital expenditures, and any equity
capitalization or refinancing requirements) necessary for the successful
operation of the Distributor business and to comply with the terms of this
Agreement.

                     (b)    Whether the proposed purchaser or transferee and
manager have the proven business experience to successfully operate the
Distributor business, including whether the non-owner management of the proposed
purchaser or transferee has appropriate incentives to comply with the
Distributor obligations under this Agreement.  Prior experience in the wholesale
malt beverage distribution business is strongly preferred by Miller.  If a
proposed purchaser or transferee would be a first time Miller distributor, the
purchaser must be willing to participate along with Distributor's management in
a series of training classes in order to be educated on Miller's business
practices.

                     (c)    Whether the proposed purchaser or transferee after
the Transfer will be engaged in selling competing brands of malt beverages or
other products to the extent that such sales would, in the reasonable judgment
of Miller, interfere with the successful marketing of, and time and resources
devoted to, the Miller products in Distributor's Area.

              5.5    NO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.  Unless Miller has given its prior
written approval, neither Distributor nor any corporation or entity which,
directly or indirectly, has an ownership interest in Distributor shall be owned
by the public; and there shall be no sale or offering for sale on any stock
exchange, over the counter, or on the open market of any securities of
Distributor or securities of any corporation or entity which, directly or
indirectly, has an ownership interest in Distributor.

              5.6    PROVIDING AGREEMENT COPY.  It shall be Distributor's
responsibility to furnish a copy of this Agreement to any prospective purchaser
or transferee of Distributor or of any ownership interest in Distributor.

              5.7    CHANGE IN DISTRIBUTOR'S BUSINESS.  Prior to Distributor's
acquisition or divestiture of any or all of its business other than its Miller
business, Distributor shall provide Miller with written notice of its Intended
acquisition or divestiture and a written plan describing how Distributor will
maintain or enhance its focus on Miller products following such action,
including any amendment and resubmission for Miller approval of Distributor's
Business Plan.

SECTION 6     DISTRIBUTOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE.

              Distributor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at
any time by giving Miller at least ninety (90) days' prior written notice.  In
such event, Miller's sole obligation to Distributor shall be the purchase of
Distributor's inventory and point of sale pursuant to Section 8.3.

SECTION 7     MILLER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE.

              7.1    TERMINATION WITH CURE.  Except as provided in Section 7.2
below, Miller may at any time initiate termination in accordance with the
procedures specified in this Section if Distributor fails to comply with any
commitment or undertaking stated in its application, or with any of the
obligations set forth in this Agreement or the Standards, or as otherwise
permitted by state law.

                     (a)    Miller shall initiate such termination by providing
written notice to Distributor which shall state the nature of Distributor's
noncompliance.  Subject to extensions granted at Miller's sole discretion,
Distributor shall then have thirty (30) days in which to submit a plan of
corrective action and an additional sixty (60) days to cure such noncompliance
in accordance with such plan.  If Distributor fails to cure on a timely basis,
Miller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written
notice.

                                       8

<PAGE>

                     (b)    Upon such termination, and the execution of a
general release of all claims, of whatever nature, which Distributor may have
against Miller, Miller shall pay Distributor the amount prescribed in the
Finance portion of the Standards (the "Termination with Cure Payment").  If the
Distributor, based on a monthly trend analysis, has not engaged in its business
in the ordinary course (including pre-loading or over selling the market) in the
previous two (2) months prior to the termination of the Agreement then the
Termination with Cure Payment will be adjusted by Miller accordingly.

              7.2    TERMINATION WITHOUT CURE.  If any of the following events
occur, Miller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon
giving written notice without any obligation on Miller's part to follow the
procedures described in Section 7.1 above or to make a Termination with Cure
Payment to Distributor:

                     (a)    Conviction of Distributor or any of Distributor's
owners of a felony.

                     (b)    Distributor's fraudulent conduct or substantial
misrepresentation in any of its dealings with Miller or with others concerning
Miller products.

                     (c)    Any significant variation between the financial data
submitted to Miller in Distributor's application and the actual financial
condition of Distributor as reflected in Distributor's balance sheet at the time
Distributor commences operations under this Agreement.

                     (d)    The cessation of Distributor's business with respect
to Miller products or the revocation or suspension of any of Distributor's
federal, state or local licenses or permits for more than fifteen (15) days, if
such license or permit is required for the normal operation of Distributor's
business.

                     (e)    Distributor's insolvency (including Distributor's
inability to pay its debts as they mature) or failure to pay monies due Miller
in accordance with the terms of sale established by Miller, Distributor's
assignment or attempt to assign for the benefit of creditors, the institution of
bankruptcy proceedings by or against Distributor, or the dissolution or
liquidation of Distributor.

                     (f)    Any disposition of Distributor's business, change of
control of Distributor's business, or attempt to assign this Agreement in
violation of Section 5 (except Section 5.1(b)) or 14 of this Agreement or
Distributor's violation of the other provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

                     (g)    Distributor's breach or violation of the provisions
of Sections 1, 11 or 14 of this Agreement.

                     (h)    Distributor's failure to obtain Miller's prior
written approval of a Manager within the time period described in Section 4.3(d)
above.

                     (i)    Distributor's sale(s) of overage Miller products,
the repackaging of overage Miller products, or the intentional mislabeling of
Miller products.

                     (j)    Distributor's failure to undertake a good faith
effort to cure noncompliance pursuant to Section 7.1 above.

                     (k)    Any other right to terminate granted under state
law, statute or regulation.

              7.3    CONTEMPORANEOUS TERMINATION.  Miller shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Distributor at least thirty
(30) days' prior written notice, provided that Miller contemporaneously gives
such notice to all other authorized Miller distributors.  Miller shall incur no
liability to

                                       9

<PAGE>

Distributor by reason of such termination.  In the event Miller exercises its
right under this Section and offers other distributors the right to enter
into a new agreement, Miller shall offer Distributor the right to enter into
a new agreement upon substantially similar terms and conditions.

SECTION 8     POST TERMINATION PROVISIONS.

              In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 6,
7.1, or 7.2, or if Distributor fails to enter into a new agreement pursuant to
Section 7.3 or to execute an amendment pursuant to Section 11.1, the following
provisions shall apply:

              8.1    ORDER CANCELLATION.  Miller shall have the right to
terminate unfilled orders and to stop or re-route any shipment en route to
Distributor.

              8.2    PROPERTY RETURN.  Within ten (10) days after such
termination, Distributor shall return to Miller all property belonging to Miller
in Distributor's possession or control.  Miller shall not be liable to
Distributor for any expenses incurred by Distributor in connection with such
property.  If Distributor has placed a deposit with Miller on any such property,
Miller shall refund such deposit to Distributor or credit an equivalent amount
to Distributor's account when such property is returned in the same condition in
which it was delivered by Miller to Distributor, reasonable wear and tear
excepted.

              8.3    REPURCHASE FOLLOWING TERMINATION.  Within ten (10) days
after such termination, Distributor shall sell and Miller shall purchase (1)
Distributor's undamaged, merchantable, and originally packaged inventory of
non-overage Miller products purchased from Miller, and (2) Distributor's
current, operable, undamaged and merchantable P.O.S. related to Miller products.
Such purchased inventory and P.O.S. shall be sold to Miller with good and
marketable title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

                     (a)    The purchase price shall be equal to the sum (1) of
the net price actually paid by Distributor (A) to Miller for the inventory, and
(B) to Miller or others for the P.O.S.; (2) of any taxes paid by Distributor in
connection with purchasing the inventory and P.O.S.; (3) of the cost of
transporting the inventory and P.O.S. to Distributor's warehouse (minus any
freight charges that Distributor would have incurred in returning empty
returnable containers to Miller); (4) of a handling charge to be established
from time to time by Miller; and (5) less Miller's costs in removing overage
Miller products from Distributor's Area.

                     (b)    In lieu of paying the purchase price described
above, Miller may, at its election, credit the equivalent amount to
Distributor's account.

SECTION 9     MILLER TRADE DESIGNATIONS.

              9.1    Distributor hereby acknowledges Miller's exclusive
ownership and other rights in the various trademarks, trade names, service
marks, trade dress and other trade designations (collectively "trade
designations") relating to Miller's business or products.  Miller hereby grants
Distributor a nonexclusive, non-assignable, non-licensable privilege to use
Miller trade designations only in a lawful manner and only in connection with
the distribution, advertising, display and sale of Miller products.  This
privilege shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement.  Such trade
designations shall be used only in manners, forms and contexts specified or
approved in writing by Miller, and upon Miller's request, Distributor shall
change or discontinue the way in which Distributor uses any Miller trade
designation.  Distributor agrees that it shall not manufacture or have
manufactured any merchandise bearing such designations without Miller's prior
written approval.

              9.2    Distributor agrees to remove all Miller trade designations
affixed in any fashion to property owned or controlled by Distributor (including
vehicles, equipment, and office supplies) before leasing,

                                       10

<PAGE>

selling or otherwise transferring such property or control thereof to another
person or before putting such property to any use not connected with the
distribution of Miller products.

              9.3    Distributor agrees not to use Miller trade designations in
Distributor's corporate or business name without Miller's prior written
approval.  If such approval is not given by Miller, Distributor agrees to
discontinue all such use and formally change any such name at its own expense
immediately upon termination of this Agreement.

              9.4    If Distributor violates any of the provisions of Sections
9.1, 9.2 or 9.3 above, Distributor shall reimburse Miller for all costs,
attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred by Miller in any action for damages
or injunctive relief brought to enforce this Section.

              9.5    Distributor agrees to notify Miller of any infringements of
Miller trade designations that Distributor discovers and to assist Miller in
taking whatever legal action against such infringement as Miller, in its sole
discretion, may decide is appropriate.  Miller agrees to bear all expenses and
costs incident to any such action.

SECTION 10    DISTRIBUTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS.

              Distributor represents and warrants to Miller that at the time of
the entering into of this Agreement and during the term of this Agreement:

              10.1   The information submitted by or on behalf of Distributor to
Miller, including Distributor's application, any Business Plans, and the
information on the Distributor Data Sheet (which shall have been completed and
signed by Distributor at the time this Agreement is executed) is true and
complete.

              10.2   Distributor has all permits and licenses necessary for
Distributor lawfully to distribute Miller products in Distributor's Area (as
defined in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above).

              10.3   Distributor has not paid nor agreed to pay any fee or
monetary consideration or anything of value to Miller or to or for the benefit
of any Miller officer, director, employee, affiliate, or representative with
respect to the issuance of this Agreement, including the right to enter into a
business or to continue a business contemplated in this Agreement.

SECTION 11    AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS.

              11.1   Miller may at anytime propose an amendment to this
Agreement.  Distributor shall indicate its acceptance of any such amendment by
returning two executed copies thereof to Miller.  The amendment shall become
effective on the date executed by Miller, which shall retain one executed copy
of the amendment and shall return the other executed copy to Distributor.  If
Distributor does not return an executed amendment to Miller within ninety (90)
days' after the proposed amendment is submitted to Distributor, this Agreement
shall immediately terminate without liability to either party, but only if
Miller has contemporaneously submitted the same proposed amendment to other
authorized Miller distributors who have executed this form of Agreement in all
jurisdictions in which such amendment would be lawful.

              11.2   The provisions of Section 11.1 above shall not apply to
changes to the Distributor Data Sheet or the Standards.  Distributor shall
notify Miller immediately of any such changes contained in the Distributor Data
Sheet applicable to Distributor.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, no change in the Distributor Data Sheet by one party shall alter the
other party's rights or obligations hereunder, unless Miller shall have given
its prior written approval and Distributor shall have given its approval in
writing.

                                       11

<PAGE>

SECTION 12    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

              The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not impair the legality or enforceability of any other
provision.  The laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdiction in which
Distributor conducts its business are hereby incorporated in this Agreement to
the extent that such laws, rules and regulations are required to be so
incorporated and shall supersede any conflicting provision of this Agreement.
If required by applicable law, Miller and Distributor may enter into an
amendment of this Agreement for the sole purpose of complying with such law.

SECTION 13    NOTICE.

              All notices that are required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing, duly signed by the party giving such notice,
shall be transmitted by prepaid express overnight courier with proof of
delivery, by personal delivery, or by registered or certified mail, with return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, and, depending upon the means of
transmittal, shall be effective when delivered to the courier, delivered to the

other party given pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 14    ASSIGNMENTS.

              Except as provided in Section 5, any transfer, sale, pledge,
encumbrance, or assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, shall be null and void, unless Miller has given its prior written
approval.

SECTION 15    CONFIDENTIALITY.

              Distributor financial data and ownership transfer information
obtained by Miller pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by Miller and its
employees as confidential information and shall not be disclosed to any other
party without Distributor's written consent, unless such disclosure is compelled
by a court or governmental agency.

SECTION 16    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

              16.1   As used in this Agreement, "prior written approval"
requires a written communication signed by two corporate officers of Miller;
"authorized Miller distributor" shall mean a distributor who is party to a
written distributor agreement with Miller which is currently in effect who sells
Miller products solely in the United States and who has executed this form of
Agreement; "including" shall mean including but not limited to; and, "good
faith" means honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial
standards of fair dealing in the trade.

              16.2   This Agreement, the Standards, and the attached Distributor
Data Sheet constitute the entire agreement between Miller and Distributor with
regard to the subject matter described herein.  No representation, promise,
inducement or statement of intention, whether oral or written, other than those
set forth in this Agreement, the Standards and the attached Distributor Data
Sheet or referred to in Section 3.2 above has been made by Miller or
Distributor, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any other alleged
representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention.  In the event of
an inconsistency between this Agreement and any document incorporated herein,
the terms of this Agreement shall control.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any prior written agreement between Miller and Distributor, this
Agreement terminates

                                       12

<PAGE>

and supersedes all previous distributor agreements between Miller and
Distributor, except for sums owed to Miller by Distributor arising out of
such prior agreements between the parties.

              16.3   The failure of either Miller or Distributor at any time or
times to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as
a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of that party at a
later time to enforce each and every such provision.

              16.4   Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, no
person, including any officer, agent or employee of Miller, has any authority to
amend, modify, waive, supersede or cancel this Agreement or any terms or
provisions of this Agreement.  No conduct of any such person shall be construed
to create that authority.

              16.5   Distributor acknowledges that it is, and shall remain, an
independent business entity.  Miller and Distributor are not joint venturers or
partners, and, neither may act as the agent, employee, or fiduciary of the
other.

              16.6   From time to time, Miller may designate on the Distributor
Data Sheet as a Miller product a product which is sold by a Miller subsidiary or
affiliate, in which event that subsidiary or affiliate shall be included within
the definition of Miller and that product included within the definition of
Miller products with regard to application of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement thereto.

              16.7   From time to time, Miller may enter into agreements with
other entities.  Upon designation on the Distributor Data Sheet, such entities
and/or such entities' products shall be included in this Agreement, as described
in the Distributor Data Sheet.

              16.8   Any action, claim, suit or proceeding between Miller and
Distributor or any owners of Distributor, whether based on federal, state
statutory or common law, including but not limited to, any and all disputes
relating to, arising out of or in connection with the interpretation,
performance or the nonperformance of this Agreement and any and all disputes
arising out of or in connection with transactions in any way related to this
Agreement (including the termination of this Agreement) shall be litigated
solely and exclusively before the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of the State of Wisconsin.  The parties consent to the IN PERSONAM
jurisdiction of said court for the purposes of any such litigation, and waive,
fully and completely, any right to dismiss and/or transfer any action pursuant
to 28 U.S.C.  Section 1404 or 1406 (or any successor statutes) or the doctrine
of forum non conveniens.  In the event the United States District Court does not
have subject matter jurisdiction of said matter, then such matters shall be
litigated solely and exclusively before the appropriate state court of competent
jurisdiction located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the parties consent to the
personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such litigation.

              16.9   If under applicable law Distributor is granted the right to
recover or be reimbursed attorneys' fees and other costs if it were to prevail
in any action against Miller, Distributor agrees to reimburse Miller for
Miller's attorneys' fees and other costs which Miller may incur in the
successful enforcement of this Agreement or in Miller's successful defense of an
action brought against Miller by or on behalf of Distributor or an owner of
Distributor.

              16.10  Miller, Distributor and the owners of Distributor waive any
right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or action relating to or
arising from this Agreement or any action or omission of any signatory hereto
(or its subsidiaries or affiliates) in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

              16.11  From time to time, Miller may designate in the Standards
remedies related to noncompliance with the Standards (or portions thereof).  The
parties agree that use of such remedies is fair and reasonable and does not
constitute waiver of any other remedies available to Miller hereunder (including
those remedies described in Section 7 above) or by law.

              16.12  Each heading contained in this Agreement is inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement
