          SECTION 1.05. Currency Equivalents. At any time that any Alternative Currency Letter
of Credit is issued and outstanding:

     (a) For purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any issuance, renewal or
extension of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, together with all other Letters of
Credit then issued, and all Borrowings then outstanding, would exceed the aggregate amount of
Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Commitments and (iii) the outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Borrowings or aggregate face amount of issued Alternative
Currency Letters of Credit, the face amount of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall
be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit determined as of the date of such determination. In connection with any issuance,
renewal or extension of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit where a required minimum or
multiple amount is expressed in Dollars, the minimum or multiple amount will be the relevant
Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of
the relevant Alternative Currency).

     (b) Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of each
calendar month (each such day, a “Calculation Date”), the Administrative Agent shall
(i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date to be used for calculating the
Dollar Equivalent amounts of each Alternative Currency in which there is an outstanding
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit or an unreimbursed LC Disbursement denominated in an
Alternative Currency and (ii) give notice thereof to the Borrower. The Exchange Rates so
determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant
Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding
Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than converting into Dollars
under Sections 2.05(f), (g), (j), (l) and (n) and 2.11(b) the obligations of the Borrower and
the Dollar Revolving Lenders in respect of LC Disbursements denominated in an Alternative
Currency that have not been reimbursed when due) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting
any amounts between the applicable currencies.

     (c) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Administrative
Agent shall (i) determine the Alternative Currency LC Exposure on such date (after giving
effect to any Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued, renewed or terminated or requested
to be issued, renewed or terminated on such date) and (ii) notify the Borrower and each Issuing
Lender of the results of such determination.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

          SECTION 2.01. The Commitments.

          (a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Revolving Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the
Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such

- 35 -

 

Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) the sum of the
total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Revolving Loans.

          (b) Tranche A Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Tranche A Term Loan Lender agrees to make a Tranche A Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective
Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in
respect of Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed hereunder.

          (c) Tranche B Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Tranche B Term Loan Lender agrees to make a Tranche B Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective
Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in
respect of Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed hereunder.

          (d) Limit on Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.01, in no event shall the total Revolving Exposure, after giving effect to any borrowing on any
date of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or issuance, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
hereunder, exceed the lesser of (i) U.S.$500,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Commitments on such date.

          (e) Incremental Term Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Loans, Tranche A
Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans specified in Section 2.01(a), (b) and (c), respectively, at any
time and from time to time prior to the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date, the Borrower may
request that the Lenders offer to enter into commitments to make Incremental Term Loans to the
Borrower in U.S. Dollars. It is understood in each case that such offer may be made by any
financial institution that is to become a Lender hereunder in connection with the making of such
offer under this paragraph (e), so long as the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such
financial institution being a Lender hereunder (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
In the event that one or more of the Lenders offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such
commitments, and such Lenders and the Borrower agree as to the amount of such commitments that
shall be allocated to the respective Lenders making such offers, as to the fees (if any) to be
payable by the Borrower in connection therewith and the Applicable Rate and (in the case of
Incremental Term Loans) amortization relating thereto, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
such Lenders shall execute and deliver an Incremental Term Loan Agreement and such Lenders shall
become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the
amount of their respective Incremental Term Loan Commitments as specified in such Incremental Term
Loan Agreement. The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan
Agreement in response to any such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate
“Series” of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of
Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any request specified above (and,
accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall
be $75,000,000, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Incremental Term Loans of all
Series, together with the aggregate unutilized Incremental

- 36 -

 

Term Commitments of all Series, shall not exceed $500,000,000 at any time, (iii) the Incremental
Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate on the earlier of the Incremental Term Loan
Availability Date and the date after the date of the respective Incremental Term Loan Agreement for
such Series as agreed upon by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders and (iv) in no
event shall the Incremental Term Loan Agreement for any Series of Incremental Term Loans provide
for the final maturity of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series to be earlier than the Tranche
B Term Loan Maturity Date, or for the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Term
Loans of such Series to be less than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term
Loans as of the date of such Incremental Term Loan Agreement (such determination of average life to
be made by the Administrative Agent).

          Following agreement by the Borrower and one or more of the Lenders as provided above, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series
agrees to make Incremental Term Loans of such Series to the Borrower from time to time during the
period from and including the date of the respective Incremental Term Loan Agreement for such
Series to and including the earlier of the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date and the date
after the date of such Incremental Term Loan Agreement as agreed upon by the Borrower and the
Incremental Term Loan Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount
of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Series of such Incremental Term Loan Lender.

          SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.

          (a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting
of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made
by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the
Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s
failure to make Loans as required.

          (b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be constituted
entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans (as the Borrower may request) in accordance herewith.
Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall
not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

          (c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of the
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of
U.S.$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made,
such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to U.S.$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of
U.S.$100,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of the applicable Class or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(g). Each Swingline
Loan shall be in an amount equal to U.S.$500,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000. Borrowings
of more than one Type and

- 37 -

 

Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be
more than a total of thirty (30) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

          (d) Limitations on Lengths of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or
continue as a Eurodollar Borrowing: (i) any Revolving Borrowing if the Interest Period requested
therefor would end after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) any Term Loan Borrowing if
the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Term Loan Maturity Date for the relevant
Class; or (iii) unless the Borrower shall confirm to the Administrative Agent in connection with
such request or election that the Borrower intends to compensate each Lender pursuant to Section
2.15 (to the extent required to do so thereunder), any Term Loan Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after
giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term
Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, having Interest Periods that end after such
Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche
A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, permitted to be
outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal
Payment Date.

          SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a
Revolving ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by
Section 2.05(g) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the
proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request in a form approved by such Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:

     (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Borrowing, Tranche A Term Loan
Borrowing, Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing or Incremental Term Loan Borrowing (including, if
applicable, the respective Series of Incremental Term Loans to which such Borrowing relates);

     (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

     (iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

     (iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

     (v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

- 38 -

 

     (vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed,
which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an
ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar
Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans.

          (a) Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding
U.S.$50,000,000 or (ii) the total Revolving Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Commitments;
provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to
refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

          (b) Interest Rates. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans or FFBR Loans (with an Interest
Period of two weeks), as selected by the Borrower, except that the Swingline Lender and the
Borrower may agree that the interest rate in respect of a Swingline Loan made by the Swingline
Lender, for a period ending on the date that is not earlier than one day and not later than fifteen
days after such Swingline Loan is made, be at an alternative rate of interest (and with such
applicable margins and prepayment premiums) as may from time to time be offered by the Swingline
Lender to the Borrower in its sole discretion; provided that upon any sale pursuant to
Section 2.04(d) of participations in any Swingline Loan the interest on which is determined by
reference to the Federal Funds Base Rate or any such alternative rate, such Swingline Loans shall
automatically be converted into an ABR Loan.

          (c) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a
Business Day), amount and Type of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will
promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline
Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a deposit
account designated by the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(g), by remittance to the respective
Issuing Lender) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

          (d) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written
notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time,

- 39 -

 

on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in
all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall
specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans on the applicable Business Day as provided above. Each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in
this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Swingline Lender, such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant
to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of
the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under
this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in
any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a
sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such
amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent
to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant
to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

          (e) Replacement of Swingline Lender. The Borrower may at any time, and from time to
time, request that the then-current Swingline Lender be replaced with another Lender hereunder
designated by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such
replacement shall be effected pursuant to a written instrument, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, under which such new Lender agrees to become the
“Swingline Lender” hereunder, and the predecessor Swingline Lender is relieved of all of its
obligations hereunder as the “Swingline Lender”; provided that in no event shall any such
replacement occur unless the principal of and interest on all of the Swingline Loans of the
predecessor Swingline Lender shall have been paid in full.

          SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the
Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request an Issuing Lender to issue, at any
time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, Committed Letters of Credit
for its own account in such form as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender in its reasonable

- 40 -

 

determination. Committed Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the
Revolving Commitments specified by the Borrower at the time it requests such Committed Letter of
Credit to be issued hereunder.

          (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a
Committed Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Committed
Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Lender) to
the respective Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested
date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Committed
Letter of Credit, or identifying the Committed Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended,
and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business
Day), the date on which such Committed Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (e) of this Section) and the amount of such Committed Letter of Credit, the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Committed Letter of Credit. If requested by the respective Issuing
Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s
standard form in connection with any request for a Committed Letter of Credit. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or
entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Committed Letter of Credit,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

          (c) Alternative Currency Letters of Credit.

          (i) Requests for Offers. From time to time during the Revolving Availability Period
the Borrower may request the Issuing Lenders to make offers to issue a Letter of Credit denominated
in an Alternative Currency for account of the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender may, but shall have no
obligation to, make such offers on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to such Issuing
Lender, and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers. The issuance
of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions of Section 5.02
and to such other conditions as are agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender issuing such
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.05, each
such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be issued, and subsequently, renewed, extended,
amended and confirmed, on such terms as the Borrower and such Issuing Lender shall agree,
including, without limitation, expiry, drawing conditions, reimbursement, interest, fees and
provision of cover. Each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall constitute utilization of the
Revolving Commitments specified by the Borrower at the time it requests such Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder.

          (ii) Reports to Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent and each other Issuing Lender a report in respect of each Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit (each such report, an “Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Report”) on
and as of the date on which (x) such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is issued, (y) the
issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of a Committed Letter of Credit, if any Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit is then outstanding, and (z) the Revolving Commitments

- 41 -

 

are to be reduced pursuant to Section 2.08, specifying for each such Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit (after giving effect to issuance thereof, as applicable):

     (A) the date on which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit was or is being issued;

     (B) the Alternative Currency of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit;

     (C) the aggregate undrawn amount of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (in such
Alternative Currency);

     (D) the aggregate unpaid amount of LC Disbursements under such Alternative Currency Letter
of Credit (in such Alternative Currency);

     (E) the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure in respect of such
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit; and

     (F) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of Alternative Currency LC Exposures in
respect of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

          Each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Report shall be delivered to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lenders by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which it is
required to be delivered. The Borrower agrees to promptly provide the Issuing Lenders with such
reasonably requested information as may be needed to prepare an Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit Report.

          (d) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or
extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Issuing Lenders (determined
for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section) shall not exceed U.S.$200,000,000, (ii) the total
Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the aggregate LC
Exposure of such Issuing Lender (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the
participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section) shall
not exceed the maximum LC Exposure for such Issuing Lender, if any, specified in the instrument
contemplated by clause (k) below.

          (e) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter
of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after the
then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit, so long as such renewal or extension occurs
within three months of such then-current expiration date) and (ii) the date that is five Business
Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

          (f) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter
of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender in respect of the Revolving

- 42 -

 

Commitments, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Revolving
Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender
hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

          In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective
Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (x) each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing
Lender in respect of each Committed Letter of Credit and (y) the Dollar Equivalent, using the
Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing
Lender in an Alternative Currency, promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time
from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or
at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
reason. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next
following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective
Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing
Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of
its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          (g) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC
Disbursement (i) under a Committed Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount
in Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (x) the
Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that
the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time
(provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $100,000, the Borrower may,
subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or
2.04 that such payment be financed with a Revolving ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan) and
(ii) under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount
in the relevant Alternative Currency equal to such LC

- 43 -

 

Disbursement or, if the Lenders have paid in Dollars to acquire a participation, an amount of
Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement not later that 12:00 noon, London time, on (x) the Business
Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to
10:00 a.m., London time, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower
receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time.

          If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in
respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, together with, in the case of an
LC Disbursement under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the
Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, using the Exchange Rates which would apply were such Lender
to pay such amount on the date such notice is delivered to such Lender.

          (h) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (g) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective
Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder.

          Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related
Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any
draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Lender; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower
that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

     (i) an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may

- 44 -

 

make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

     (ii) an Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept
such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; and

     (iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing
Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

          (i) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within
a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such
examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with
respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          (j) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date
such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (g) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply; provided further
that, in case of any LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the
amount of interest due with respect thereto shall be payable in U.S. Dollars and shall accrue on
the Dollar Equivalent thereof calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such LC Disbursement
was made. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Lender,
except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph
(g) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.

          (k) Addition / Termination of Issuing Lenders. Any Lender may be added as an Issuing
Lender (each such Lender, an “Additional Issuing Lender”) at any time pursuant to a written
agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Additional Issuing Lender and to be
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Additional Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of each Additional Issuing
Lender. From and after the effective date of any such addition, (i) the Additional Issuing Lender
shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing
Lender” shall be deemed to include such Additional Issuing Lender.

- 45 -

 

          In addition, any Issuing Lender, with the consent of the Borrower, may cease being an Issuing
Lender (each such Issuing Lender, a “Terminating Issuing Lender”) at any time pursuant to a
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Terminating Issuing Lender
and to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Terminating Issuing Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of each
Terminating Issuing Lender. At the time such termination is effective, the Borrower shall pay all
unpaid fees accrued for account of the respective Terminating Issuing Lender. After the termination
of a Terminating Issuing Lender, such Terminating Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto as an
Issuing Lender and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with
respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required
to issue additional Letters of Credit.

          (l) Cash Collateralization. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and
the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least
66- 2/3% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral
Account an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure as of such
date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions
of such amount attributable to Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements
denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies
in the actual amounts of such undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and LC
Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other
notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VIII. For purposes of this paragraph, Alternative
Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash
collateralization is delivered to the Borrower. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative
Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure under this
Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the “Secured Obligations” under and as defined in the
U.S. Pledge Agreement, and for these purposes the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Collateral Account and in any financial
assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other Property held therein.

          (m) Existing Letters of Credit. Pursuant to (i) section 2.05 of the Existing Credit
Agreement, JPMorgan Chase, as an “Issuing Lender” thereunder, has issued various “Letters of
Credit” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, and (ii) the The Bank of Nova Scotia
has issued various Letters of Credit as listed identified on Schedule IX. On the Effective Date,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the obligations of the Lenders
hereunder set forth in Article V, each of such “Letters of Credit” under the Existing Credit
Agreement and Letters of Credit issued by the The Bank of Nova Scotia shall automatically, and
without any action on the part of any Person, become a Letter of Credit hereunder and constitute a
utilization of the Revolving Commitments. Each Letter of Credit issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia
will constitute a Letter of Credit under this Agreement notwithstanding that it does not comply
with Section 2.05(e) of this Agreement; provided that

- 46 -

 

any replacement, varied or amended Letter of Credit issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia as listed in
Schedule IX after the date hereof must comply with all provisions of this Section 2.05.

          (n) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any
date pursuant to Article VIII, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter
becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC
Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect
of which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (l) of this Section, if
such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so
deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become
required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or
thereafter becomes required to distribute to the Issuing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (g) of the
Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit and (iii) of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action
required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date
(or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is
made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Revolving Lender in respect of the obligations
described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise
applicable hereunder.

          SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

          (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on
the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York
City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated
by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving ABR Borrowings
made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(g) shall be
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.

          (b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If

- 47 -

 

such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

          (a) Elections for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified
in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the
Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing made to it to a Borrowing of a different Type or
to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, the Borrower, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period for Borrowings made to it, all as provided in
this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the
affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall
be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may
not be converted or continued.

          (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

          (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies (including, if
applicable, the respective Series of Incremental Term Loans to which such Interest Election
Request relates) and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clause (iii) of this paragraph shall be specified for
each resulting Borrowing);

     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day; and

     (iii) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor
after giving effect to such election, each of which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.

- 48 -

 

          (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the
details thereof and of each such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely
Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a),
(b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless
repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

          (a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Tranche A Term Loan
Commitments and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the Effective Date, (ii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of each Series shall
terminate on the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date and (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall
terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

          (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or
from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of
the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that is U.S.$3,000,000
or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000, or the remaining amount of the Commitments of such Class and
(ii) except as provided in Section 2.08(d) (but subject to Section 2.10(c)), the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment
of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Exposure would exceed
the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under
paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied.

          (d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any

- 49 -

 

Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments
of such Class.

          SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

          (a) Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as
follows:

     (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Lenders the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date;

     (ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders the
outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans on each Principal Payment Date set
forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Principal Payment Date

     (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on
the earliest of (A) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (B) the

- 51 -

 

fifteenth day after such Loan is made (but not earlier than one Business Day after such
Swingline Loan is made) and (C) in the case of any Swingline FFBR Loan, the earlier of (x) the
last day of the Interest Period for such Loan and (y) the last day of each March, June,
September and December in each year; provided that (i) if any such day is not a
Business Day, then the Borrower shall pay such Swingline Loan on the next preceding Business
Day and (ii) on each date that a U.S. Dollar Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall
repay all Swingline ABR Loans then outstanding; and

     (v) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Term Loan Lender of
any Series the outstanding principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of such Lender of
such Series on the respective Incremental Term Loan Principal Payments Dates for the
Incremental Term Loans of such Series.

          (b) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. The scheduled repayments of Borrowings of
Term Loans of each Class to be made pursuant to clause (a)(ii) and (iii) above shall be reduced as
provided in Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b)(vi). To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans of
each Class shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Class.

          (c) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any
Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to
be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the scheduled
date of such payment; provided that, in the case of a payment by the Borrower, unless
otherwise specified by the Borrower, each payment of Borrowings by the Borrower of any Class shall
be applied to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings by the
Borrower of such Class. If the Borrower fails to make a selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings by
the Borrower to be repaid or prepaid within the applicable time period, such payment shall be
applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other
Borrowings of the Borrower of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective
Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be paid first). Each
payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

          (d) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

          (e) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the
Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

- 52 -

 

          (f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence
and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

          (g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender,
to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

          SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans.

          (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time
to time to prepay any Borrowing made to it identified by the Borrower in whole or in part, subject
to the requirements of this Section; provided that the aggregate principal amount of any
prepayment on any date pursuant to this paragraph shall be at least equal to U.S.$2,000,000. Any
prepayment of a Tranche A Term Loan Borrowing, Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing or an Incremental Term
Loan Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied (i) at the Borrower’s option,
first to reduce up to the next four scheduled repayments thereof in direct chronological
order and second to reduce the remaining scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis,
or (ii) if the Borrower so elects or does not designate its option under the immediately preceding
clause (i), to reduce the remaining scheduled payments thereof on a pro rata basis.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments — All Loans. The Borrower will make prepayments of the
Loans hereunder as follows:

     (i) Casualty Events. Upon the date 270 days following the receipt by the Borrower
of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any
Casualty Event affecting any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
any Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entity) (or upon such earlier date as the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the Property
affected by such Casualty Event), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount,
if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore
applied to the repair or replacement of such Property, such prepayment to be effected in each
case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) below; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under
this clause (i) to the extent that

     (A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt thereof that
it or such Subsidiary intends to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds into the business of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and

- 53 -

 

     (B) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such reinvestment within
270 days of receipt thereof (it being understood that, in the event Net Available Proceeds
from more than one Casualty Event are held by the Borrower, or have been applied to the
prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be utilized
in the same order in which such Casualty Event occurred and, accordingly, any such Net
Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans for more than
270 days shall be forthwith applied to the prepayment of Loans as provided above),

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it
intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to make such reinvestment as provided above, or does
not in fact apply such Net Available Proceeds to reinvestments within the time periods
specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an amount equal to the amount
specified above.

     (ii) Dispositions. In the event that the Net Available Proceeds of any Disposition
(herein, the “Current Disposition”), and of all prior Dispositions consummated in the
then-current fiscal year of the Borrower as to which a prepayment has not yet been made under
this paragraph, shall exceed U.S.$30,000,000 then, no later than 365 days after the occurrence
of the Current Disposition, the Borrower will deliver to the Lenders a statement, certified by
a Financial Officer of the Borrower, in reasonable detail, of the amount of the Net Available
Proceeds of the Current Disposition and of all such prior Dispositions and will prepay Loans in
an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such excess amount of the Net Available Proceeds of the
Current Disposition and such prior Dispositions, such prepayment to be effected in each case in
the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) below; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Current Disposition is not a Disposition of
Receivable Assets as part of a Permitted Receivable Financing, the Borrower shall not be
required to make a prepayment under this clause (iii) to the extent that

     (A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of such Disposition, or
as promptly as is reasonably practical thereafter, that it intends to use such Net
Available Proceeds to finance one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b), or
otherwise to reinvest the proceeds thereof into the business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, and

     (B) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such Acquisition(s) or
reinvestment within 365 days of such Disposition (it being understood that, in the event
Net Available Proceeds from more than one Disposition are held by the Borrower, or have
been applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be
deemed to be utilized in the same order in which such Dispositions occurred and,
accordingly, any such Net Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of
Revolving Loans for more than 365 days shall be forthwith applied to the prepayment of
Loans as provided above),

- 54 -

 

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it
or such Subsidiary intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance one or more
Acquisitions or make such reinvestment as provided above, or does not in fact apply such Net
Available Proceeds to one or more Acquisitions or reinvestments within the time periods
specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an amount equal to the amount
specified above.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the amount of the required prepayment on
any date is not greater than U.S.$50,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to make any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing until the expiration(s) of the then-current Interest
Periods.

     (iii) Senior Debt Incurrence. On or prior to the date 90 days after the date of
any Senior Debt Incurrence, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the
Net Available Proceeds thereof, such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and
to the extent specified in clause (vi) below; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under this clause (iii) with
respect to the Net Available Proceeds of Senior Debt Incurrences after the date hereof to the
extent that

     (A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of the relevant Senior
Debt Incurrence that it intends to use such Net Available Proceeds, in compliance with
Section 7.01(c)(ii)(A), to finance one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b),
to prepay a Designated Revolving Borrowing in respect of which the related Acquisition has
been consummated as of the time of the relevant Senior Debt Incurrence, to repay, prepay
or redeem Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, or a combination of such Acquisitions and
payments,

     (B) such Net Available Proceeds are held by the Borrower in a segregated investment
or other account (or, alternatively, applied to the prepayment of a Designated Revolving
Borrowing or other Revolving Loans), until so used to finance one or more Acquisitions, or
to repay, prepay or redeem such Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, as contemplated above, and

     (C) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such Acquisition(s), or to
the repayment, prepayment or redemption of such Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, within 180
days of such Senior Debt Incurrence (it being understood that, in the event Net Available
Proceeds from more than one Senior Debt Incurrence are held by the Borrower, or have been
applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed
to be utilized in the same order in which such Senior Debt Incurrences occurred and,
accordingly, any such Net Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of
Revolving Loans (other than any Designated Revolving Borrowing) for more than 180 days
shall be forthwith applied to the prepayment of Loans as provided above),

- 55 -

 

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it
intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance one or more Acquisitions, to prepay a
Designated Revolving Borrowing or to repay, prepay or redeem such Senior Unsecured
Indebtedness, or does not in fact apply such Net Available Proceeds to one or more
Acquisitions, to the prepayment of a Designated Revolving Borrowing or to the repayment,
prepayment or redemption of such Senior Unsecured Indebtedness within the time periods
specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an amount equal to the amount
specified above.

     (iv) Subordinated Debt Incurrence. On or prior to the date 90 days after the date
of any Subordinated Debt Incurrence, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount
equal to the portion of the Net Available Proceeds thereof that exceeds (in the aggregate for
all Subordinated Debt Incurrences after the date hereof that are not excluded by virtue of the
exclusion in clause (iii) of the definition of “Net Available Proceeds”) U.S.$200,000,000, such
prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi)
below; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required
to make a prepayment under this clause (iv) to the extent that

     (A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of the relevant
Subordinated Debt Incurrence that it intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance
one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b), to make one or more Investments
permitted under Section 7.06(e), to prepay a Designated Revolving Borrowing in respect of
which the related Acquisition has been consummated as of the time of the relevant
Subordinated Debt Incurrence, to repay, prepay or redeem Subordinated Indebtedness or
Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, or a combination of such Acquisitions, Investments and
payments,

     (B) such Net Available Proceeds are held by the Borrower in a segregated investment
or other account (or, alternatively, applied to the prepayment of a Designated Revolving
Borrowing or other Revolving Loans), until so used to finance one or more Acquisitions or
pay such Indebtedness, as contemplated above, and

     (C) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such Acquisition(s) or to
the payment, repayment or redemption of such Indebtedness within 180 days of such Debt
Incurrence (it being understood that, in the event Net Available Proceeds from more than
one Subordinated Debt Incurrence are held by the Borrower, or have been applied to the
prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be utilized
in the same order in which such Subordinated Debt Incurrences occurred and, accordingly,
any such Net Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans
(other than any Designated Revolving Borrowing) for more than 180 days shall be forthwith
applied to the prepayment of Loans as provided above),

- 56 -

 

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it
intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance one or more Acquisitions or to make one
or more Investments, or pay, repay or redeem such Indebtedness, or does not in fact apply such
Net Available Proceeds to one or more Acquisitions or Investments or pay such Indebtedness
within the time periods specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an
amount equal to the amount specified above.

          (v) Foreign Subsidiary Debt Incurrence. On or prior to the date 90 days after the
date of any Foreign Subsidiary Debt Incurrence, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds thereof unless such Net Available Proceeds are
applied or maintained for working capital or other general corporate purposes of the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary, such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent
specified in clause (vi) below.

     (vi) Application. Prepayments by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall
be applied as follows:

     first, such prepayment shall be applied to any then outstanding Term
Loans, ratably in accordance with the then-outstanding aggregate principal amounts
thereof; and

     second, after the payment in full of any then outstanding Term Loans,
such prepayment shall be applied to any then outstanding Revolving Loans (without
reduction of Revolving Commitments), ratably in accordance with the then-outstanding
aggregate principal amounts thereof.

     Each such prepayment of the Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this clause (b)(vi) shall
be applied (i) at the Borrower’s option, first to reduce up to the next four scheduled
repayments thereof in direct chronological order and second to reduce the remaining
scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis or (ii) if the Borrower so elects or does not
designate its option under the immediately preceding clause (i), to reduce the remaining
scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis.

     (vii) Escrow Agreement. If any funds are returned to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of clause 6(b) of the Escrow Agreement, the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such
funds, such prepayment to be effected in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi)
above.

          (c) Mandatory Prepayments — Revolving Loans. The Borrower will prepay the Revolving
Loans hereunder if requested by the Required Revolving Lenders (through the Administrative Agent)
if the Administrative Agent or such Lenders determine on any date that the total Revolving
Exposure, after giving effect to any Borrowing on any date of Revolving Loans or issuance, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit hereunder exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Commitments on such date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

- 57 -

 

          (d) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case
of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case
of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day
before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is
given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of
termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). Promptly following receipt of any such
notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as
necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be made
in the manner specified in Section 2.09(c).

          SECTION 2.11. Fees.

          (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account
of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily
amount of the unused Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender during the period from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Revolving Commitment terminates and the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Accrued
commitment fees shall be payable on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the
Revolving Commitments terminate and the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the date hereof. For purposes of this Section 2.11(a), outstanding
Swingline Loans shall not constitute a usage of the Revolving Commitments. All commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in
Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable
to interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure,
and (ii) to each Issuing Lender, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate set forth in the
instrument of such Issuing Lender contemplated

- 58 -

 

by Section 2.05(j) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure of such Issuing Lender (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements and determined for these purposes
without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to paragraph
(f) of Section 2.05) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be
payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date
to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date
on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing
Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation
fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the
purposes of calculating the average daily balance of the LC Exposure for any period under this
Section 2.11(b), the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure for such period
shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit (expressed in the Alternative Currency of such Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit) by (y) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in effect on the last Business
Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems
appropriate.

     (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective
Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees
and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under
any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.12. Interest.

          (a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing (other than in respect of
Swingline Loans, as to which paragraph (c) below shall apply) shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Swingline ABR and FFBR Borrowings. Each ABR Borrowing constituting a Swingline
Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. Each Swingline Borrowing the interest on which is determined by reference to the
Federal Funds Base Rate for any Interest Period therefor shall bear interest at a rate per

- 59 -

 

annum, for each day during such Interest Period, equal to the Federal Funds Base Rate for such
period plus the Applicable Rate plus 0.50%. Each Swingline Borrowing the interest
on which is determined at an alternate rate of interest as contemplated in Section 2.04(b), shall
bear interest at the respective alternate rate of interest so agreed for the period so contemplated
by Section 2.04(b).

          (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in
the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such
Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable
to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (e) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of
the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of
this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination
Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of
such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing
prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be
payable on the effective date of such conversion.

          (f) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days
(or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted
LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

     (b) if such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans, the Administrative Agent is
advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or
Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent

- 60 -

 

notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to, or continued as, an
ABR Borrowing and (ii) any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made as
an ABR Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except
any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender; or

     (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will
upon request pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any
Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by,
or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s
or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (such certificate, in the
case of any amount payable as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section, shall set forth in

- 61 -

 

reasonable detail the calculation of such amount). The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days
after receipt thereof.

          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section
for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such
Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

          SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any Eurodollar Loan or Swingline FFBR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period
therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(d) and is
revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the Borrowing of any Term Loan the Interest Period for which
commences before and ends after any Principal Payment Date (unless, after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental
Term Loans, as the case may be, having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date
shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche
B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, permitted to be outstanding after giving
effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date), or (e) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including
such loss, cost and expense as calculated below but otherwise excluding any lost profit):

     (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such
event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the
principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion,
Borrowing, failure or assignment to the last day of then current Interest Period for such Loan
(or (x) in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest
Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation and (y) in the
case of a Borrowing of any Term Loan, the period from the date of such Borrowing to the
applicable Principal Payment Date) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Term
Loans, such other period), over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn
on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount
for such

- 62 -

 

period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender)
for deposits in U.S. Dollars from other banks in the Eurodollar market at the commencement of
such period; and

     (b) in the case of a Swingline FFBR Loan, the loss to the Swingline Lender attributable to
any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Swingline Lender to be
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Federal Funds Base Rate for the period commencing on
the date of such payment to but not including the last day of the Interest Period for such
Swingline FFBR Loan, over (ii) the Federal Funds Base Rate for such Interest Period.

          A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error (such certificate to include in reasonable detail the calculation of such
amount or amounts). The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

          (a) Payments Free of Covered Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower or Subsidiary
Guarantor shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

          (c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 30 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error
(such certificate to include in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount).

- 63 -

 

          (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the
Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower located, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement
shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

          (f) Refund. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax as to which it has
been indemnified by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 2.16, it shall pay
over such refund to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided, that the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such
Subsidiary Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set—offs.

          (a) Payments by the Obligors. Each Obligor shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the
extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due,
in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim; provided that if a new
Loan is to be made by any Lender on a date the Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding
Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the
principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the difference between the principal to be
borrowed and the principal to be repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the
Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.06 or paid by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this paragraph, as the case may be. Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest

- 64 -

 

thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at an office specified by it,
except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document, and except payments to be
made directly to an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any
payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

          (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to
pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

          (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each
Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment
fee under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the relevant Revolving Lenders, and each
termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08
shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any
Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their
respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans
of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or
prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and
Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata
in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them;
and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans
and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the
respective Lenders.

          (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender
receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the

- 65 -

 

aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Obligor rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

          (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent
for account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date
in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact
made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

          (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d), 2.05(f) or (g), 2.06(b) or
2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of
such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.

          SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in
the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

- 66 -

 

          (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its
obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may exercise its rights under Section
10.04(i).

ARTICLE III

GUARANTEE

          SECTION 3.01. The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantee to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns
the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and all other
amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower under
this Agreement and by any Obligor under any of the other Loan Documents, and all obligations of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) in respect of
any Hedging Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (such
obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same,
without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment
or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due

extension or renewal.

          SECTION 3.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors
under Section 3.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value,
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution,
release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances.
In full recognition and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that:

     (a) Without affecting the enforceability or effectiveness of Section 3.01 in accordance
with its terms and without affecting, limiting, reducing, discharging or terminating the
liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein or therein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and
from time to time and without notice or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever:

     (i) amend, supplement, modify, extend, renew, waive, accelerate or otherwise

any Subsidiary Guarantor to any such amendment with respect to any Loan Document to which
it is a party);

     (iii) accept or enter into new or additional agreements, security documents,
guarantees (including letters of credit) or other instruments in addition to, in exchange
for or relative to any Loan Document, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
collateral now or in the future serving as security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (iv) accept or receive (including from any other Subsidiary Guarantor) partial
payments or performance on the Guaranteed Obligations (whether as a result of the exercise
of any right, remedy, power or privilege or otherwise);

     (v) accept, receive and hold any additional collateral for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations (including from any other Subsidiary Guarantor);

     (vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, allow to lapse or expire, fail to
perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, foreclose upon or enforce any
collateral, security documents or guarantees (including letters of credit or the
obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) for or relative to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

     (vii) apply any collateral or the proceeds of any collateral or guarantee (including
any letter of credit or the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) to all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations in such manner and extent as the Administrative Agent
or any Lender may in its discretion determine;

     (viii) release any Person (including any other guarantor) from any personal liability
with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (ix) settle, compromise, release, liquidate or enforce upon such terms and in such

Guaranteed Obligations;

- 68 -

 

     (x) consent to the merger or consolidation of, the sale of substantial assets
by, or other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of the Borrower or
any other Person (including any other Subsidiary Guarantor);

     (xi) proceed against the Borrower, such or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any
other guarantor of (including any issuer of any letter of credit issued with respect to)
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral provided by any Person and
exercise the right, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or
therein, or otherwise in such order and such manner as the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may, in its discretion, determine, without any necessity to proceed upon or against
or exhaust any collateral, right, remedy, power or privilege before proceeding to call
upon or otherwise enforce Section 3.01 as to any Subsidiary Guarantor;

     (xii) foreclose upon any deed of trust, mortgage or other instrument creating or
granting liens on any interest in real Property by judicial or nonjudicial sale or by deed

other election of remedies with respect to such liens or exercise any right of set-off;

     (xiii) obtain the appointment of a receiver with respect to any collateral for all or
any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and apply the proceeds of such receivership as the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may in its discretion determine (it being agreed that
nothing in this clause (xiii) shall be deemed to make the Administrative Agent or any
Lender a party in possession in contemplation of law, except at its option);

     (xiv) enter into such other transactions or business dealings with any other
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower or any
other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations as the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may desire; and

     (xv) do all or any combination of the actions set forth in this Section.

     (b) The enforceability and effectiveness of this Article and the liability of the
Subsidiary Guarantors, and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein, shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives any defense now or in the future arising, by
reason of:

     (i) the illegality, invalidity, irregularity, authenticity, or unenforceability of
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Agreement or any other agreement or
instrument referred to herein or therein, or any agreement, security document, guarantee
or other instrument relative to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

- 69 -

 

     (ii) any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any issuer of any
letters of credit), including the effect of any statute of limitations that may bar the
enforcement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any
such other guarantor;

     (iii) the illegality, invalidity, irregularity, authenticity or unenforceability of
any security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of
the priority of any lien on any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

     (iv) the cessation, for any cause whatsoever, of the liability of the Borrower or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor (other than subject to Section 3.05, by reason of the full
payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations);

     (v) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to marshal assets in favor
of the Borrower or any other Person (including any other guarantor), to exhaust any
collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, to pursue or exhaust any
right, remedy, power or privilege it may have against any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Borrower, any other guarantor, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (including
any Issuing Lender in respect of Letters of Credit) or any other Person or to take any
action whatsoever to mitigate or reduce such or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability
under this Article, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender being under any
obligation to take any such action notwithstanding the fact that all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations may be due and payable and that the Borrower may be in default of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein;

     (vi) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give notice after any
Default of sale or other disposition of any collateral (including any notice of any
judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any interest in real Property serving as
collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or
any defect in, or any failure by any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person to receive,
any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any failure to conduct a commercially
reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

- 70 -

 

     (viii) any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of
remedies with respect to, any interest in real Property or other collateral serving as
security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, even though such foreclosure,
sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of any Subsidiary Guarantor
or may preclude any Subsidiary Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement, contribution,
indemnification or other recovery from any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower any
other guarantor or any other Person and even though the Borrower may not, as a result of
such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

     (ix) any benefits the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor may
otherwise derive from Sections 580(a), 580(b), 580(d) or 726 of the California Code of

any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise;

     (xi) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither
be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or
which reduces a surety’s principal obligation;

     (xii) the possibility that the obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may at any time and from time to time exceed the aggregate liability
of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article;

     (xiii) any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor has or alleges to have with respect to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

     (xiv) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to file or enforce a

United States Bankruptcy Code;

     (xvii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code;

- 71 -

 

     (xviii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate

     (xix) the avoidance of any lien in favor of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
for any reason;

     (xx) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt,
liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any
discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) in or as a
result of any such proceeding;

     (xxi) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, including by reason of Sections
2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2850, 2899, 3275 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, and
any future judicial decisions or legislation or of any comparable provisions of the laws
of any other jurisdiction; or

     (xxiii) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever.

     (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it
has established adequate means of obtaining financial and other information pertaining to the
business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the Borrower and its properties
on a continuing basis and that such Subsidiary Guarantor is now and will in the future remain
fully familiar with the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the
Borrower and its properties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further represents and warrants that it
has reviewed and approved this Agreement and the related Loan Documents and is fully familiar
with the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents and that it will in the future remain
fully familiar with such transaction and with any new Loan Documents and the transaction
contemplated by such Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives and
relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (should any such
duty exist) to disclose to such or any other Subsidiary Guarantor any matter of fact or other
information related to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower or its properties or to any Loan Documents or the transactions undertaken pursuant to,
or contemplated by, such Loan Documents, whether now or in the future known by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.

          SECTION 3.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this
Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and
severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender in connection with such rescission or

- 72 -

 

restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim
alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

          SECTION 3.04. Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights of
subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including any such
right arising under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it
pursuant to the provisions of this Article until such time as the obligations under this Agreement
have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full and the Commitments have terminated. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor understands that, by reason of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges
that it has under this Article and under the other Loan Documents will result in nonreimbursable
liabilities under this Agreement. Nevertheless, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes and
empowers the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to exercise, in its or their sole discretion, any
combination of such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as they, in their sole discretion,
shall deem appropriate.

          SECTION 3.05. Remedies. Each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that,
as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII)
for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the
Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have
become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the
Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of
Section 3.01.

          SECTION 3.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money,
and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the
event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall
have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

          SECTION 3.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing
guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

          SECTION 3.08. Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, as
between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as
defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations,
each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to
the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to
the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as
defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary
Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this

- 73 -

 

Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article and such
Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until
payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

          For purposes of this Section, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata
Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata
Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary
Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock
of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such
Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any
other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the
amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the
Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor,
as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

          SECTION 3.09. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal, provincial or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally (including
“financial assistance” rules under the laws of England, including Sections 151 to and including 158
of the Companies Act), if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 3.01 would
otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08, be held or determined to be void,
invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the
amount of its liability under Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the
contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary
Guarantor, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and
reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of
other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding (or, in the case of Canandaigua Limited,
be limited so as not to guarantee the portion of the Loans that are not permitted to be guaranteed
under such “financial assistance” rules).

          SECTION 3.10. Borrower Guarantee with Respect to Hedging Agreements. Subject to the
relevant requirements and limitations set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.06, the Borrower hereby
guarantees the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of all amounts owing from time to time by any Subsidiary of the Borrower under any
Hedging Agreement entered into by such Subsidiary with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender in
strict accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the
“Hedging Guaranteed Obligations”). The Borrower hereby further agrees

- 74 -

 

that if any Subsidiary shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) any of the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower will promptly
pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of
time of payment or renewal of any of the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance
with the terms of such extension or renewal.

          Sections 3.02 through 3.07, inclusive, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
Guarantee by the Borrower contained in the preceding paragraph, as if each reference in said
Sections to the “Guaranteed Obligations” were a reference to the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations and
each reference in said Sections to the “Administrative Agent” or to any “Lender” were a reference
to the Lender or Affiliate thereof that is a party to the applicable Hedging Agreement referred to
in the preceding paragraph.

Entities at any time during the Cleanup Period) are Subsidiaries of the Borrower.

          SECTION 4.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(excluding Inactive Subsidiaries and Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entities) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has

          SECTION 4.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each
Obligor’s corporate powers and (other than with respect to Borrowings of Incremental Term Loans
until such date as any such Borrowings are made) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate and, if required, by all necessary shareholder action. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by each Obligor and constitutes, and each of the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party when executed and delivered by such Obligor will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          SECTION 4.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not

obtained as of the Effective Date) or (y) in the case of any consents, approvals, registrations and
filings that are not specified in Schedule A to the Vincor Arrangement Agreement, the absence of
which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively for this
clause (y), “Immaterial Acquisition Approvals”), (b) will not violate any applicable law or
regulation or any order of any Governmental Authority (other than any such violations resulting
from a failure to obtain any Immaterial Acquisition Approvals) or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result
in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or assets (other than any applicable Disclosed Matters), or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, and (d) except for the Liens
created pursuant to the Security Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Entities) owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other

have a Material Adverse Effect.

jurisdiction other than the United States of America or a State thereof, the Borrower shall
ensure that each Obligor that holds any of the shares of capital stock or other ownership
interests in such new Subsidiary or previously Excluded Entity shall execute and deliver a
Foreign Pledge Agreement (or, as applicable, a supplement to a relevant existing Foreign Pledge
Agreement) with respect to such shares of capital stock or other ownership interests and take

Borrower and the Administrative Agent have determined would either result in adverse tax
consequences under Section 956 of the Code or would contravene any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (B) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Pledge Agreements to the

such Obligor agrees forthwith to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the U.S. Pledge
Agreement and, if applicable, any Foreign Pledge Agreement, the certificates evidencing such shares
of stock, accompanied by undated stock powers executed in blank and to take such other action as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to perfect the security interest created therein
pursuant to such Pledge Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Obligors shall not be required to pledge more than 65% of the outstanding

consequences under Section 956 of the Code or would contravene any applicable law, rule or
regulation).

shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement such
Intercompany Note, accompanied by an undated bond power executed in blank, and shall take such
other action as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to perfect the security interest
created therein pursuant to such Pledge Agreement (provided that no such pledge will be
required to the extent that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have determined that such
pledge would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 956 of the Code).

          (g) Further Assurances with Respect to the Pledge Agreements. The Borrower will, and

directors of the Borrower, such Restricted Payment may be made at any time within the 60-day period
thereafter, regardless of whether such conditions continue to be satisfied.

          (b) The Borrower may make Restricted Payments consisting of repurchases of its capital stock;
provided that:

     (i) the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Payments made during the term of this
Agreement shall not exceed (i) U.S.$100,000,000 in the case of the Borrower’s 2007 fiscal year
and (ii) for each successive fiscal year of the Borrower thereafter, 120% of the amount
permitted during the immediately preceding fiscal year;

     (ii) after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment, the Borrower shall be in
compliance, on a pro forma basis, with Section 7.10 during the four quarter
period most-recently ended under the assumption that such Restricted Payment, and any related
borrowing, shall have been made or incurred at the beginning of such period (and, to the extent
requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered a calculation
demonstrating such pro forma compliance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); and

     (iii) the Borrower will not make any Restricted Payment under this paragraph (b) unless at
the time thereof, and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

          (c) Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit the making or paying of any dividends
or other distributions (in any type of Property), or entering into any agreement to pay or make
dividends or other distributions, directly or indirectly, by any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the
Borrower or to any other Subsidiary of the Borrower.

- 104 -

 

          SECTION 7.08. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit
any of its Subsidiaries (other than Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entities) to, sell, lease or
otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property
or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates;
provided that (x) any Affiliate who is an individual may serve as a director, officer or
employee of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and receive reasonable compensation for his or
her services in such capacity and (y) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into transactions
with any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary if the monetary or business consideration
arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
the monetary or business consideration which would obtain in a comparable transaction with a Person
not an Affiliate.

          During any period that the Borrower is a public company regulated by, and required to file
regular periodic reports with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, any compensation paid to an
executive officer of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (who is an Affiliate) which has been
specifically approved by the board of directors of the Borrower (or by the Human Resources
Committee of the board of directors of the Borrower or other committee responsible for such
approval) during such period will be deemed to be reasonable for purposes of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary may enter into so-called
split-dollar life insurance agreements with Affiliates, so long as the aggregate amount of premiums
payable by the Borrower during any fiscal year pursuant to such agreements shall not exceed
U.S.$2,000,000 in the aggregate.

          SECTION 7.09. Certain Restrictions. The Borrower will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Joint Venture Entities) to enter into, after the date hereof, any
indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement that, directly or indirectly, prohibits or
restrains, or has the effect of prohibiting or restraining, or imposes materially adverse
conditions upon, the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness, the granting of Liens, the declaration
or payment of dividends, the making of loans, advances, guarantees or
Investments or the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of Property;
provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by
law, by this Agreement or, in the case of any restrictions or conditions other than in respect of
the declaration or payment of dividends by Subsidiaries, restrictions or conditions imposed by any
evidence of Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, Subordinated Indebtedness or Foreign Subsidiary
Indebtedness (so long as no such restriction or condition is materially more restrictive on the
Borrower or any Subsidiary than the corresponding provisions of the 1999 Indenture or the Senior
Subordinated Note Indentures as in effect on the date hereof), (ii) the foregoing shall not apply
to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a
Subsidiary or its assets or capital stock pending such sale; provided that such
restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary or its assets or capital stock that are to
be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder, (iii) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not
apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness
permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets
securing such Indebtedness, (iv) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions
or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries obligated
in respect of such Indebtedness and (v) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not apply to
customary provisions in leases and other contracts restricting the assignment thereof.

- 105 -

 

          SECTION 7.10. Certain Financial Covenants.

          (a) Debt Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Debt Ratio to exceed the following
respective ratios at any time during the following respective periods:

	 	3.00 to 1

          (c) Interest Coverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Interest Coverage Ratio
to be less 3.00 to 1 at any time.

          (d) Fixed Charges Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Fixed Charges Ratio to be
less than 1.00 to 1 as at the last day of any fiscal quarter of each fiscal year.

          SECTION 7.11. Subordinated Indebtedness. The Borrower may after the date hereof incur
additional Subordinated Indebtedness subject to the following conditions (each of which shall have
been fulfilled in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):

     (a) such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the obligations of the Borrower to pay
principal of and interest on the Loans, the reimbursement obligation in respect of each LC
Disbursement and all other amounts payable hereunder on terms and conditions no less favorable
to the Lenders than the terms and conditions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures;

     (b) such Indebtedness shall be an obligation of the Borrower only, and none of its
Subsidiaries shall be contingently or otherwise obligated in respect thereof, unless

- 106 -

 

subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary to pay principal of and interest on the
Loans, the reimbursement obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder on terms and
conditions no less favorable to the Lenders than the terms and conditions of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indentures;

     (c) the Net Available Proceeds of such Indebtedness shall be applied to (i) prepay Loans
in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iv), (ii) repay or prepay Subordinated Indebtedness (in
accordance with this Section 7.11) or Senior Unsecured Indebtedness (in accordance with Section
7.12) or (iii) finance one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b);

     (d) the terms of such Indebtedness shall not provide for payment of any portion of the
principal thereof prior to the date six months after the final maturity of the Loans hereunder;

     (e) terms in respect of financial and other covenants, events of default and mandatory
prepayments applicable to such Indebtedness shall be terms that are at the time customary in
the market for subordinated debt being incurred by the Borrower, and in transactions,
comparable to the Borrower’s proposed debt issuance;

     (f) at the time of issuance of such Indebtedness, and after giving effect thereto, the
Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 7.10 (the determination of such ratios to be
calculated under the assumption that such Indebtedness was issued, at the beginning of the
respective period and that any other Indebtedness to be retired with the proceeds thereof was
in fact retired on such date of issuance);

     (g) at the time of such issuance, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder; and

     (h) prior to such issuance the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect specified in the foregoing clauses (a), (b),
(e), (f) and (g) (and setting forth in reasonable detail the computations necessary to
determine compliance with said clause (f)).

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise
acquire for value, or set apart any money for a sinking, defeasance or other analogous fund for,
the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of, or make any voluntary payment or
prepayment of the principal of or interest on, or any other amount owing in respect of, any
Subordinated Indebtedness (or enter into any transaction that has a substantially similar effect),
except that (i) the Borrower may make payments on the regularly-scheduled payment dates with
respect to the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness as in effect on the date
hereof (or, as to any Subordinated Indebtedness issued after the date hereof, as originally in
effect) and (ii) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or will occur as a
result of such payment), from the proceeds of other Subordinated Indebtedness issued in accordance
with the first paragraph of this Section, the Borrower may redeem or prepay such Subordinated
Indebtedness.

- 107 -

 

          SECTION 7.12. Senior Unsecured Indebtedness. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, or set apart any money
for a sinking, defeasance or other analogous fund for the purchase, redemption, retirement or other
acquisition of, or make any voluntary payment or prepayment of the principal of or interest on, or
any other amount owing in respect of, Senior Unsecured Indebtedness (or enter into any transaction
that has a substantially similar effect), except that the Borrower may (i) make payments on the
regularly-scheduled payment dates with respect to the principal of and interest on Senior Unsecured
Indebtedness, (ii) make any optional prepayment of the 2006 Senior Notes and (iii) so long as no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or will occur as a result of such payment), from the
proceeds of Senior Unsecured Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.01(c) or the
proceeds of Subordinated Indebtedness issued in accordance with Section 7.11(a), redeem any Senior
Unsecured Indebtedness being refinanced with such proceeds. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries will consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the provisions of any
Senior Unsecured Indebtedness if such amendment, supplement or waiver could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on (x) the legal ability or financial capacity of any Obligor to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it
is a party or (y) the rights of or benefits available to the Lenders under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.

          SECTION 7.13. Modifications of Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the
provisions of clause (d) of Section 7.03, the Borrower will not modify or supplement its
Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof in any manner materially adverse to
the interests of the Lenders without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (with the
approval of the Required Lenders).

          SECTION 7.14. Vincor Acquisition Entities. Notwithstanding any other term or condition
of this Article VII, the Borrower will not permit any Vincor Acquisition Entity that is not a
Subsidiary Guarantor to (i) create, incur or assume any Indebtedness owed to any Person other than
the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (subject to Section 7.01), (ii) convey, sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of its business or Property other than as permitted under
Sections 7.03 and 7.04 or (iii) make any Investment; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Vincor Acquisition Entity shall be permitted to engage in any of the foregoing
transactions (including through the Borrower or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower) to the
extent such transactions are (x) reasonably necessary in connection with the Vincor Acquisition or
to otherwise effect any corporate reorganization or restructuring in connection therewith
(including subsequent thereto) or (y) incidental to the business and activities of a holding
company.

ARTICLE VIII

document furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or

to in the Commitment Letter other than the payment of amounts due thereunder as to which clause
(b) above shall govern) or in Article VII;

     (e) any Obligor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement
contained in this Agreement (other than those specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of this
Article) or any other Loan Document and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
45 or more days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent (given at the request of any
Lender) to the Borrower;

     (f) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to make any payment (whether of
principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when
and as the same shall become due and payable;

     (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due
prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with all applicable grace periods
having expired) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on
its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the
prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity;
provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due
as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the Property or assets securing such
Indebtedness;

     (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed
seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (other than any Inactive Subsidiaries and Non-Controlled Joint Venture
Entities) or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state,
provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in
effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,

- 109 -

 

sequestrator, administrator, conservator, monitor or similar official for the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than any Inactive Subsidiaries and Non-Controlled Joint Venture
Entities) or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or
petition shall continue undismissed for a period of 60 or more days or an order or decree
approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

     (i) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Inactive Subsidiaries and
Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entities) shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file
any petition or make any assignment seeking liquidation, reorganization, a plan of arrangement
or other relief under any Federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,

petition described in clause (h) of this Article, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment
of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, administrator, conservator, monitor or similar
official for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Non-Controlled Joint
Venture Entities) or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting

U.S.$30,000,000 (exclusive of any judgment amount to the extent covered by insurance, bond,
surety or similar instrument where the insurer or holder of such bond, surety or instrument, as
the case may be, has not contested liability in respect of such judgment so long as the
Borrower or such Subsidiary is seeking to recover under such insurance, bond, surety or similar
instrument) shall be rendered against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any
Inactive Subsidiaries and Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entities) or any combination thereof and
the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 45 consecutive days during which execution
shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to

     (l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when
taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (m) a reasonable basis shall exist for the assertion against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of (or there shall have been asserted against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) claims or liabilities, whether accrued, absolute or contingent, based on or
arising from the generation, storage, transport, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by
the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any predecessor in interest of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or relating to any site or facility owned, operated or
leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates,

- 110 -

 

which claims or liabilities (insofar as they are payable by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries but after deducting any portion thereof which is reasonably expected to be paid by
other creditworthy Persons jointly and severally liable therefor), in the judgment of the
Required Lenders are reasonably likely to be determined adversely to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, and the amount thereof is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (n) a Change in Control shall occur; or

     (o) any Lien or Liens created by the Security Documents with respect to any material
portion of the Collateral shall at any time not constitute valid and perfected Liens on such
collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection by filing, registration,
recordation or possession is required herein or therein) in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders, free and clear of all other Liens (other than Liens permitted
under Section 7.02 or under the respective Security Documents), or, except for expiration or
termination in accordance with its terms or otherwise permitted hereunder, any of the Security
Documents with respect to any material portion of the Collateral shall for whatever reason be
terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, or the enforceability thereof shall be
contested by any Obligor;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Obligor described in clause
(h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the
Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i)
terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii)
declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any
principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable),
and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Obligors accrued hereunder, shall become
due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by each Obligor; and in case of any event with respect to any Obligor
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and
the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees
and other obligations of the Obligors accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by each Obligor.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and as its trustee in respect of the Foreign
Pledge Agreements and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

- 111 -

 

          The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a)
the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that
the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except
as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank
serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an
Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related

- 112 -

 

Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well
as activities as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of
the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and not to be required if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

          Without the authorization of the Required Lenders, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall send to the Borrower or the Trustee under the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures any
notice of a Default or Event of Default hereunder if such notice would result in a payment block in
respect of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

          The Administrative Agent in its capacity as trustee or otherwise under any Foreign Pledge
Agreement:

     (a) shall not be liable for any failure, omission, or defect in perfecting the security
constituted or created by such Foreign Pledge Agreement including, without limitation, any
failure to (i) register the same in accordance with the provisions of any of the documents of
title of the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity Pledge Agreement) to any of the assets
thereby charged or (ii) effect or procure registration of or otherwise protect the security
created by this deed under any registration laws in any jurisdiction;

- 113 -

 

     (b) may accept without inquiry such title as the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity
Pledge Agreements) or the Mortgagor (as defined in each Australian Equity Pledge Agreement) may
have to the Shares (as so respectively defined); and

     (c) shall not be under any obligation to hold any title deed or any other documents in
connection with any Foreign Pledge Agreement or to take any steps to protect or preserve the
same. The Administrative Agent may permit the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity Pledge
Agreements) or the Mortgagor (as defined in each Australian Equity Pledge Agreement) to retain
all such title deeds and other documents in its possession.

          Except as otherwise provided in the Foreign Pledge Agreements, all moneys which under the
trusts therein contained are received by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as trustee or
otherwise may be invested in the name of or under the control of the Administrative Agent in any
investment for the time being authorized by English law (in the case of the U.K. Equity Pledge
Agreements), Australian law (in the case of the Australian Equity Pledge Agreements),
Luxembourg law (in the case of the Luxembourg Equity Pledge Agreement) or New Zealand Law (in the
case of the New Zealand Equity Pledge Agreements), in each case for the investment by trustees of
trust money or in any other investments which may be selected by the Administrative Agent.
Additionally, the same may be placed on deposit in the name of or under the control of the
Administrative Agent at such bank or institution (including JPMorgan Chase) and upon such terms as
the Administrative Agent may think fit.

          (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by

be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent

     (iii) if to an Issuing Lender, to it at such address as may be notified by it to the other

     (v) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its
Administrative Questionnaire.

          (b) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change
by a Lender, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

          (c) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or
the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

          SECTION 10.02. Waivers; Amendments.

          (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the
time.

          (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower
and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any
Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled
date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or
any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such scheduled payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of
principal, interest or other amounts

- 115 -

 

hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders or Types or Classes of Loans, without the written
consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify
any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender or (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from
their guarantee obligations under Article III without the written consent of each Lender; and
provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (y) any modification or supplement of Article III shall
require the consent of each Subsidiary Guarantor and (z) subject to the foregoing clause (vi), any
Subsidiary Guarantor may be released from its guarantee obligations under Article III if such
Subsidiary Guarantor is the subject of a Disposition permitted by this Agreement or if such
Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Inactive Subsidiary (and any other release of a Subsidiary
Guarantor not described in the foregoing clause (vi) may be effected only with the consent of the
Required Lenders).

          Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any
provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of
enabling the Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall
be effective against the Lenders of such Class for purposes of the Commitments of such Class unless
the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and no
waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not
affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required
Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

          (c) Amendments to Security Documents. No Security Document nor any provision thereof
may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens thereof be spread to secure any additional or
other obligations (excluding any Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to Section 2.01(e), but
including any other increase in Loans hereunder) of the Obligors except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary party thereto, and by the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, (i) without
the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release the Borrower or all or
substantially all of its Subsidiaries from their respective obligations under the Security
Documents and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all
or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of
the Liens under the Security Documents, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled
to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional or
other obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect
to all or substantially all of the collateral security provided thereby, except that (A) no such
consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with
the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors), to release any Lien covering property (and to release
any such Subsidiary Guarantor) that is the subject of either a Disposition permitted hereunder or a
Disposition to which the Required Lenders have

- 116 -

 

consented and (B) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

          (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall
be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including
its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued
hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
thereof, provided that to the extent that the costs and expenses referred to in this clause
(iii) consist of fees, costs and expenses of counsel, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such
fees, costs and expenses for only two counsel acting for the Lenders (in addition to any counsel
for the Administrative Agent) and (iv) and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other
charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any
security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

          (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or
any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under
a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or
from any Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent

- 117 -

 

jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do
so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

          (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof.

          (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.

          SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

          (a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that (i) (unless in connection with a transaction expressly permitted under Section
7.03) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any
Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, Participants referred to in paragraph (e) below and the directors,
officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and trustees of each of the Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

          (b) Assignments by Lenders.

          (i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC
Exposure and Swingline Exposure) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) of:

- 118 -

 

     (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment (x) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of
Article VIII, to any other assignee or (z) in connection with the syndication contemplated
by the Commitment Letter;

     (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; and

     (C) the Issuing Lender, provided that no such consent of the Issuing Lender
shall be required for the assignment of any Term Loan.

          (ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the
following additional conditions:

     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund of such assigning Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, the
amount of the Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than U.S.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of any assignment of a Term Loan or Term
Loan Commitment, U.S.$1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of
Article VIII;

     (B) each partial assignment of any Commitment, Loan, LC Exposure or Swingline
Exposure shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Commitment, Loan,
LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure;

     (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
U.S.$3,500 payable by the assigning Lender; and

     (D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

          (iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning

- 119 -

 

Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 hereof). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section
10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section
10.04.

          (c) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New
York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment(s) of, and principal
amount of the Loan(s), LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure held by, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),
the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or
more Lenders or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a
portion of its Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure held by it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument
may

- 120 -

 

provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) hereof that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 hereof to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 10.08 hereof as though it were a Lender; provided that such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) hereof as though it were a Lender hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm
Credit System that (a) has purchased a participation from CoBank in the minimum amount of
U.S.$10,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (b) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by CoBank as being entitled to
be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm
Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (c) receives the prior written
consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be
entitled to vote (and the voting rights of CoBank shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar
for dollar basis, as if such participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a
Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be
effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (i)
state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) state the dollar amount of the
participation purchased. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph.

          (f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 hereof than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or
assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Farm Credit Bank, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply
to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (h) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 10.04 to
the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Commitment,
Loan, LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

- 121 -

 

          (i) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or (ii) the Borrower shall seek any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Security Document that shall
require under Section 10.02 (or the terms of such Security Document) the consent of each Lender,
and any Lender shall not consent thereto at a time when Lenders having Revolving Exposures,
outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments representing at least 66
2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and
unused Commitments at such time have so consented thereto, then the Borrower may, with respect to
any such Lender identified in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) (in any case, a “Subject
Lender”), at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Subject Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.04), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) such Subject Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A
Subject Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver or consent by such Subject Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation under this Section 10.04(i) cease to apply.

          SECTION 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 3.03 and
10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or
any provision hereof.

          SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the

- 122 -

 

Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and
all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have.

          SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Commitment Letter, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or the Commitment shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Commitment Letter against any Obligor or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

- 123 -

 

          (c) Waiver of Venue. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the Commitment Letter in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by

- 124 -

 

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Lenders, nor the

(“Regulation FD”) or any other federal or state securities laws (it being acknowledged and
agreed that the provisions of this Section 10.12 with respect to such information are reasonably
necessary to comply with Regulation FD and/or such other federal and state securities laws) (such
information referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its
affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including trustees, accountants, legal

10.12(b), (y) direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or such contractual
counterparties’ professional advisors or (z) pledgee of, or assignee of a security interest in, all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, pursuant to Section 10.04(g), (vi) to the extent
such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential
basis through no fault or action by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, or (B) is or

          SECTION 10.13. “Credit Agreement” under Indentures; Existing Credit Agreement.

          (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement constitutes one of the
successive renewals, substitutions, refinancings or replacements of the Credit Agreement dated as
of June 29, 1993 between the Borrower, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower identified on the signature
pages thereof under the caption “Subsidiary Guarantors”, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, referred to in the definition of “Credit Agreement” in Section 101 of
the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures and that, accordingly, this Agreement constitutes the
“Credit Agreement” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures.

          (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement constitutes one of the
successive renewals, substitutions, refinancings or replacements of the “Credit Agreement” referred
to in each of the indentures listed in Part A of Schedule I, and that, accordingly, this Agreement
constitutes the “Credit Agreement” under and as defined in each such indenture.

- 125 -

 

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that compliance
by the Borrower with any provision of Article VI or VII would violate or conflict with any
provision of the Existing Credit Agreement, then such provision of Article VI or VII (as
applicable) shall have no force or effect until on and after the Effective Date.

          SECTION 10.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October
26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 10.15. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which
the specification of Dollars or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified
Currency”), and any payment in New York County or the country of the Specified Currency, as the
case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be
the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The
payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged by an amount paid
in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent
that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place
under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the
Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the
“Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified
Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is
rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually
applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum
adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency
with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against, and to pay the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum
originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in the Specified
Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

          SECTION 10.16. Cleanup Period. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent acknowledge
and agree that if, at any time during the period (herein, the “Cleanup Period”) commencing
on the date hereof through but not including the 180th day following the
Effective Date, (i) Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail (or the Borrower shall fail to
cause Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries) to
comply with any of the covenants herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) if any of
the representations or warranties made herein or in any of the other

- 126 -

 

Loan Documents (or in any report, financial statement, certificate or other document furnished in
connection herewith or therewith) with respect to Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect or (iii) any event or condition that constitutes a
default or an event of default under any Vincor Agreement occurs as a result of or in connection
with the Vincor Acquisition or Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries is otherwise in breach or
violation of any Vincor Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such
failure to comply with covenants (other than any such failure that is caused or authorized by the
Borrower, it being understood that mere knowledge of a failure to comply shall not constitute
authorization for purposes hereof), any such incorrectness with respect to representations or
warranties and any such default, event of default, breach or violation shall not constitute (x) a
Default or Event of Default hereunder or (y) a failure by the Borrower to have satisfied any of the
conditions in Section 5.02 or 5.04, in each case until after the expiration of the Cleanup Period
(and then only to the extent that the same is continuing).

          SECTION 10.17. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each Lender (other than the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Lender) shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the
Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender and the Borrower and, by
executing its Lender Addendum, each such Lender agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof with
the Commitments set forth opposite its name in such Lender Addendum.

- 127 -

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

amounts as provided in Section 2.05(l) of the Credit Agreement, as they may be required to pledge
as additional collateral security thereunder. The balance from time to time in the Collateral
Account shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the
Secured Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Except as expressly provided in the next
sentence, the Administrative Agent shall remit the collected balance standing to the credit of the
Collateral Account to or upon the order of the respective Obligor as such Obligor through the
Borrower shall from time to time instruct. However, at any time following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the
Lenders as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion apply or cause to
be applied (subject to collection) the balance from time to time standing to the credit of the
Collateral Account to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section
5.08 hereof. The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal
only as provided herein. In addition to the foregoing, each Obligor agrees that, at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the proceeds of any Collateral
hereunder shall be received by it, such Obligor shall, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, as promptly as possible deposit such proceeds into the Collateral Account. Until so
deposited, all such proceeds shall be held in trust by the applicable Obligor for and as the
property of the Administrative Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property
of any Obligor.

          4.02 Investment of Balance in Collateral Account. Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account
shall be invested from time to time in such Permitted Investments as the respective Obligor through
the Borrower (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative
Agent) shall determine, which Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the control of the Administrative Agent,
provided that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified in the Credit
Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate
any such Permitted Investments and to apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to the
payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section 5.08 hereof.

          4.03 Cover for LC Exposure. Upon receipt of any amounts to be deposited into the Collateral
Account as cover for LC Exposure under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.05(l) thereof,
the Administrative Agent shall (i) cause JPMorgan Chase to establish a single, segregated trust
sub-account in the Collateral Account (designated “LC Exposure Sub-Account”), which shall be a
“securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and in respect
of which the Administrative Agent shall be the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8
102(a)(7) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and (ii) deposit such amounts in such sub-account, and
all amounts held therein shall constitute collateral security first for the LC Exposure outstanding
from time to time and second as collateral security for the other Secured Obligations hereunder.

          Section 5. Further Assurances; Remedies. In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and
security interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Obligors hereby jointly and severally agree
with each Lender and the Administrative Agent as follows:

          5.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. Each Obligor shall:

     (a) if any of the shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other
equity interests, securities, moneys or property required to be pledged by such Obligor
under clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of Section 3 hereof are received by such Obligor,
forthwith (subject to Section 5.04(c)) transfer and deliver to the Administrative Agent
such shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity interests or
securities so received by such Obligor (together with the certificates for any such shares,
units and securities duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated stock powers duly
executed in blank), all of which thereafter shall be held by the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as part of the Collateral, take such other action
as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to duly record the Lien
created hereunder in such shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other
equity interests, securities, moneys or property referred to in said clauses (a) through
(d), inclusive;

     (b) in the case of the Borrower, deliver and pledge to the Administrative Agent any
and all Intercompany Notes, endorsed and/or accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer in such form and substance as the
Administrative Agent may request; provided, that so long as no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request of the Borrower,
make appropriate arrangements for making any Intercompany Notes pledged by the Borrower
available to the Borrower for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal (any such
arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent,
against trust receipt or like document);

     (c) give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice,
instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate
the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Administrative Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security
interest, including, without limitation, following an Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, causing any or all of the Equity Collateral to be transferred of
record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative
Agent agrees that if any Equity Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its
nominee, the Administrative Agent

Pledge Agreement

 - 6 - 

 

will thereafter promptly give to the respective Obligor copies of any notices and
communications received by it with respect to the Equity Collateral pledged by such Obligor
hereunder);

     (d) keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral, and stamp or
otherwise mark such books and records in such manner as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement;

     (e) subject to Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement, permit representatives of the
Administrative Agent, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours to
inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and
permit representatives of the Administrative Agent to be present at such Obligor’s place of
business to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the
Collateral, and forward copies of any notices or communications received by such Obligor
with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the Administrative Agent may require;
and

     (f) in the case of the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, upon request of the Administrative Agent, promptly notify (and the
Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent so to notify) each Foreign Subsidiary that is an obligor in respect of any Intercompany
Note that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Intercompany Note are to be
made directly to the Administrative Agent.

          5.02 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.02 of
the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (granted with
the authorization of the Lenders as specified in the Credit Agreement), no Obligor shall file or
suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any
financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Administrative
Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the Lenders (and their applicable
Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness).

          5.03 Preservation of Rights. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take steps
necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

          5.04 Special Provisions Relating to Equity Collateral.

          (a) Except with respect to a Limited Pledge Entity, the Obligors will cause the Equity
Collateral to constitute at all times 100% of in the case of the Pledged Stock and Pledged
Partnership Interests, the total number of shares of each class of capital stock or units, as the
case may be, of each applicable Issuer then outstanding. With respect to any Issuer that is a
Limited Pledge Entity, the Obligors will cause the Equity Collateral to constitute at all times not
less than 65% of the total number of voting shares of each class of capital stock or units or other
ownership interests of such Issuer then outstanding.

          (b) For the avoidance of doubt, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Obligors shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers
of ownership pertaining to the Equity Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the

Pledge Agreement

 - 7 - 

 

terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement executed and
delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, provided that the Obligors jointly
and severally agree that they will not vote the Equity Collateral in any manner that is
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any such other instrument or
agreement.

          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Obligors shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends and/or other
distributions of income or profit on the Equity Collateral paid in cash.

          (d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of Default shall
continue, and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises any available right
to declare any Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy
available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other
agreement relating to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Equity
Collateral shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent and retained by it in the Collateral
Account as part of the Equity Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the
Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, the Obligors jointly and severally agree to
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and
other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such
dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the
Obligors (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the
Administrative Agent to the Obligors.

          5.05 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to
the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said
Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such
additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in
effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted,
including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to
exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral
as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor
agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

     (b) the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the
Obligors or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any
time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but
shall be under no obligation to do so; and

     (c) the Administrative Agent may, upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Obligors of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof that
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective agents, sell, lease, assign or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the
Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without
thereby assuming any credit

 Pledge Agreement

 - 8 - 

 

risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to
effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is
required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or
all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by
law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or
right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or
otherwise), of the Obligors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby
expressly waived and released. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale
or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be
so adjourned.

          The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.05 shall be
applied in accordance with Section 5.08 hereof.

          The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be
compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Obligors acknowledge that
any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent
than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public
sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the respective Issuer or issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

          5.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the
Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such
realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable
for any deficiency.

          5.07 Private Sale. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any of their respective
Affiliates shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable
manner. Subject to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders exercising any rights or remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, each Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates arising by reason of the fact that the
price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured
Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not
offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

          5.08 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as
provided below in this Section 5, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all
or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the

 Pledge Agreement

 - 9 - 

 

Administrative Agent under Section 4 hereof or this Section 5, shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent:

     First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other
realization, including reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all reasonable
expenses incurred and advances made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith;

     Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and
ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the
Lenders holding the same may otherwise agree; and

     Finally, to the payment to the respective Obligor, or their respective successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any cash or other amounts held in the “LC Exposure
Sub Account” of the Collateral Account pursuant to
Section 4.04 hereof shall be applied first to
the LC Exposure outstanding from time to time and second to the other Secured Obligations in the
manner provided above in this Section 5.

          As used in this Section 5, “proceeds” of Collateral means cash, securities and other property
realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received
under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Obligors or any Issuer of or
obligor on any of the Collateral.

          5.09 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the
Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to which the then outstanding principal
amount of and accrued interest on the Loans are declared to be immediately due and payable, and
five Business Days after the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the attorney in fact of each Obligor for the purpose
of carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any
instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney in fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made
payable to the order of any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

          5.10 Perfection; Certain Releases. (a) Prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each Obligor (i) (a) shall file such financing statements and other
documents, if any, in such offices as the Administrative Agent may request to perfect the security
interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to perfect the
security interests in the Pledged Partnership Interests) and (b) authorizes the Administrative
Agent and anybody acting on its behalf to take any of the foregoing actions and (ii) deliver to the
Administrative

 Pledge Agreement

 - 10 - 

 

Agent all certificates identified in Part A of Annex 1 hereto, accompanied by undated stock powers
duly executed in blank.

     (b) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate signed by the President,
a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower to the effect that any of the
 shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity interests,
securities, moneys or property pledged by an Obligor under clauses (a) through (d),
inclusive, of Section 3 hereof are no longer required to be so pledged pursuant to the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to take such action
at the request and expense of the Borrower as shall be reasonably necessary to release the
pledge and grant of the security interest in such shares, units, ownership interests,
partnership interests, other equity interests or securities (and the certificates, if any,
for any such shares, units and securities duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated
stock powers duly executed in blank).

          5.11 Termination. Upon the date on which all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full
and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and all LC Exposure and Swap
Indebtedness shall have expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith (i) cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against
receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral
and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Obligor and (ii)
execute and deliver to the respective Obligor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by such
Obligor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.

          5.12 Further Assurances. Each Obligor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request
of the Administrative Agent, such Obligor will execute and deliver such further documents and do
such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to
effect the purposes of this Agreement.

          Section 6. Miscellaneous.

          6.01 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder shall be in writing and
telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient at its “Address for Notices” specified pursuant
to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times
specified in said Section 10.01.

          6.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of its agents to
exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Administrative Agent or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies
herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          6.03 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an
instrument in writing duly executed by each Obligor and the Administrative Agent (with the consent
of the requisite Lenders specified in Section 10.02(c) of the Credit

 Pledge Agreement

 - 11 - 

 

Agreement). Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, each holder of any of the Secured Obligations and each Obligor.

          6.04 Expenses. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to reimburse each of the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal
counsel) in connection with (i) any Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding
resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, all manner of participation in or other
involvement with (w) performance by the Administrative Agent of any obligations of the Obligors in
respect of the Collateral that the Obligors have failed or refused to perform, (x) bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or
attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of
any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and
claims of the Administrative Agent in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including
expenses of insurance, (y) judicial or regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring
or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the enforcement of this Section 6.04,
and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations entitled to the benefits of the
collateral security provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

          6.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of each Obligor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders (and
their applicable Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness) and each holder of any of the
Secured Obligations (provided, however, that no Obligor shall assign or transfer its rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, it being understood that
any transaction involving any Obligor permitted under Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement shall
not be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Section 6.05).

          6.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may
execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

          6.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
law of the State of New York.

          6.08 Captions. The captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this
Agreement.

          6.09 Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys in
fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith.

          6.10 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as
nearly as may be

 Pledge Agreement

 - 12 - 

 

possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          6.11 Additional Obligors. As contemplated in Section 6.09 of the Credit Agreement, new
Subsidiaries of the Borrower acquired or formed by the Borrower after the date hereof may become a
“Subsidiary Guarantor” under the Credit Agreement and an “Obligor” under this Agreement, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a
Guarantee Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit C to the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, upon
the execution and delivery of any such Guarantee Assumption Agreement by any such Subsidiary, such
new Subsidiary shall automatically and immediately, and without any further action on the part of
any Person, become an “Obligor” for all purposes of this Agreement, and Annex 1 hereto shall be
supplemented in the manner specified in such Guarantee Assumption Agreement.

          6.12 The Administrative Agent. As provided in Article IX of the Credit Agreement, each Lender
has appointed JPMorgan Chase as its Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement. Following
the payment in full of all Secured Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the
termination or expiration of the Commitments and LC Exposure thereunder, the provisions of said
Article IX shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement until the payment in full of the Swap Indebtedness. In
that connection, following such payment in full and expiration and termination of the Commitments
and LC Exposure, the term “Required Lenders” (as used in said Article IX) shall be deemed to refer
to Lenders or other Persons holding Secured Obligations representing at least 65% of the aggregate
Secured Obligations.

of any payment made or moneys received on account of any other Obligor’s liability under
this Mortgage of Shares;
	 
	 	(b)	 	claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any other Obligor or its estate in
competition with the Administrative Agent; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on
account of any other Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off against any other Obligor.

	10.8	 	This Mortgage of Shares is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other
security now or subsequently held by the Administrative Agent.
	 
	11.	 	Expenses and Notices
	 
	 	 	The (i) obligation to pay costs and expenses to the Administrative Agent detailed in

	12.	 	Miscellaneous

8

 

	12.1	 	Time deposits: without prejudice to any right of set-off any Finance Party may have under
any Loan Document or otherwise, if a time deposit matures on any account the Chargor has with the
Administrative Agent at a time within the Security Period when:

	 	(a)	 	this security has become enforceable; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	no amount of the Secured Liabilities is due and payable,

	 	 	that time deposit shall automatically be renewed for any further maturity which the
Administrative Agent considers appropriate.
	 
	12.2	 	Suspense account: if the Administrative Agent receives, or is deemed to be affected by,
notice (whether actual or constructive) of any Lien affecting any Security Asset and/or the
proceeds of sale of any Security Asset, it may open a new account for the Chargor. If the
Administrative Agent does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had
done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice. As from that time all
payments made to the Administrative Agent will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will
not operate to reduce any amount for which this Mortgage of Shares is security.
	 
	12.3	 	Counterparts: this Mortgage of Shares may be executed in any number of counterparts, which
will have the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this
Mortgage of Shares.

shall not affect the other provisions of this Mortgage of Shares nor the provisions of this
Mortgage of Shares under any other jurisdiction.
	 
	12.5	 	Language: all documents and notices provided in connection herewith shall be in English (or,
if not in English, accompanied by a certified translation, in which case such translation shall
prevail (unless the document is a statutory or other official document)).
	 
	12.6	 	Transfers: the Administrative Agent may transfer all or part of its rights under this
Mortgage of Shares to the successor if it resigns pursuant to Section IX of the Credit Agreement.
Except to the extent permitted by Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Chargor shall not
make any Disposal of any of its rights or obligations hereunder.
	 
	12.7	 	Taxes: all payments hereunder shall be made without any deduction or withholding on account
of any tax. If such deduction or withholding is required to be made pursuant to any law the
payment shall be increased so that the recipient receives a net sum equal to the sum it would
have received had such deduction or withholding not occurred.
	 
	12.8	 	Alterations to statute: Section 103, section 93 and section 109(1) of the Act do not apply
to the security constituted by this Mortgage of Shares.
	 
	12.9	 	Payments:

9

 

	 	(a)	 	If any date on which a payment is to be made under this Mortgage of Shares is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be deemed to be the immediately succeeding
Business Day.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the Administrative Agent considers that any amount paid by the Chargor under a Loan
Document is capable of being avoided or set aside on the liquidation or administration of
the Chargor or otherwise then that amount shall not be considered to have been paid
irrevocably for the purposes of this Mortgage of Shares.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Any certificate of the Administrative Agent as to any amount due hereunder shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of such amount.

	13.	 	Release
	 
	 	 	Upon the date on which all Secured Liabilities shall have been irrevocably paid in full
and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and all LC Exposure and Swap
Indebtedness shall have expired or been terminated, this Mortgage of Shares shall
terminate, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith cause the Security Interests to be
released and return any stock transfer form in respect of the Shares to the Chargor.
	 
	14.	 	Governing law and jurisdiction
	 
	14.1	 	This Mortgage of Shares (and any proceedings arising therefrom) shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with English law.
	 
	14.2	 	The Chargor waives any right it might have to claim that the courts of England are an
inappropriate or inconvenient forum.
	 
	14.3	 	The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to engage in proceedings in the courts of any
jurisdiction or the courts of more than one jurisdiction concurrently.

for the Secured Property;

or other income or other moneys owing in respect of the Secured Property
are paid directly to the Security Agent; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Mortgagor must, at its own expense, promptly

on the Secured Property and to become the registered holder or legal
owner of the Secured Property.

	 	(b)	 	If the Mortgagor receives any cash dividend or any other property which forms
part of the Secured Property during the continuance of an Event of Default, the

The Mortgagor must not vote or agree to vote or take any other action in favour of

in this deed in all material respects, including those in clause 5.1 on each date on which
the Borrower is deemed under Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement to repeat the
representations and warranties set out in that agreement (or any of them). A notification
under this clause 5.4 does not limit the Security Agent’s rights under this deed.

- 4 -

 

	 	5.2.8	 	all necessary authorisations to enable it to enter into this Pledge
Agreement have been obtained and are, and will remain in full force and effect.

Party may consider to be requisite for exercising any of the rights conferred on the
Secured Party by this Pledge Agreement or by law, it being understood that the
enforcement of the pledge over the Pledged Portfolio must be carried out as described
in Clause 7 hereunder.
	 
	7.	 	ENFORCEMENT OF PLEDGE
	 
	7.1	 	If the Secured Obligations are due and payable and remain unpaid then the
Secured Party shall be entitled, 3 days after the service of a formal summons to pay (“mise
en demeure”) addressed by registered mail to the Pledgor (the “Summons to Pay”) to realise
the Pledged Portfolio in the most favourable manner provided for by Luxembourg law and in
particular: (a) to sell the Shares by public auction; and/or (b) to request the court that
title to the Shares be assigned and/or transferred to the Secured Party for payment of the
Secured Obligations, in all cases without prejudice to any rights of appropriation in
relation to the Related Assets arising under this Pledge Agreement or applicable law. The
Secured Party shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of the sale in paying the costs of
that sale or disposal and in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations.
	 
	7.2	 	In as far as legally required, the shareholders of the Company have decided
on or about the date hereof (substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1), that
the Secured Party as well as any of its affiliated or group companies (as shown on the then
latest consolidated balance sheet) or any successors or assignees of the Secured Party in
such capacity, are approved as future shareholder of the Company in case the Secured Party
or such other entity buys or acquires or is attributed the Shares in any way (including as
the result of a public auction).
	 
	7.3	 	The Pledgor further confirms that the shareholders have decided by the same
decision, in as far as legally required, to approve as new shareholders any other person who
would acquire the Shares as the result of an enforcement of the pledge over the Shares, and

the Secured Party in the future for this purpose in a similar way.
	 
	7.4	 	The Pledgor further undertakes not to revoke, amend or otherwise modify the

been requested or authorised by the Secured Party.

	8.1	 	The Pledge shall be a continuing security and shall not be considered as
satisfied or discharged or prejudiced by any intermediate payment, satisfaction or
settlement of any part of the Secured Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect
until it has been expressly released by the Secured Party.

- 5 -

 

	8.2	 	The Pledge shall be discharged by the express release thereof granted by
the Secured Party which the Secured Party shall be obliged to grant (and in which respect it
shall take all necessary action) upon first request of the Pledgor, after the Secured
Obligations has been discharged. The Secured Party shall inform the Company of such release
and instruct it to record the release of the Pledge in the Company’s register of
shareholders.
	 
	8.3	 	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to and independent of every
other security which the Secured Party may at any time hold as security for the Secured
Obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and shall not operate so as
in any way to prejudice or affect or be prejudiced or affected by any security interest or
other right or remedy which the Secured Party may now or at any time in the future have in
respect of the Secured Obligations.
	 
	8.4	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to
any person, or any abstention or delay by the Secured Party in perfecting or enforcing any
security interest or
rights or remedies that the Secured Party may now or at any time in the future have from or
against the Pledgor or any other person.
	 
	8.5	 	No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, or delay on its
part in exercising, any of its rights under this Pledge Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any further or
other exercise of that or any other rights.
	 
	8.6	 	If, at any time, any provision of this Pledge Agreement is or becomes
illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither
the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Pledge
Agreement nor of such provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
	 
	8.7	 	None of the Secured Party or any of its agents shall be liable by reason of
(a) taking any action permitted by this Pledge Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in
connection with the Pledged Portfolio or (c) the realisation of all or any part of the
Pledged Portfolio, except in the case of negligence or default upon its part.
	 
	9.	 	PARTIAL ENFORCEMENT
	 
	 	 	The Secured Party shall have the right to request enforcement of all or part of the
Pledged Portfolio in its most absolute discretion. No action, choice or absence of
action in this respect, or partial enforcement, shall in any manner affect the
security interest/pledge created hereunder over the Pledged Portfolio as it then shall
be (and in particular those Shares which have not been subject to enforcement). The
security interest/pledge thereover shall continue to remain in full and valid
existence until enforcement, discharge or termination hereof, as the case may be.
	 
	10.	 	NOTICES
	 
	 	 	Any notice or demand to be served by one person on another pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement shall be served in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10 of the
Credit Agreement, provided that any notice to be served on the Secured Party shall be

- 6 -

 

	 	 	effective only when actually received by the Secured Party, marked for the attention
of the department or officer specified by the Secured Party for such purpose.
	 
	11.	 	SUCCESSORS
	 
	11.1	 	This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect despite any amalgamation or
merger (however effected) relating to the Secured Party, and references to the Secured Party
shall be deemed to include any assignee or successor in title of the Secured Party and any
person who, under any applicable law, has assumed the rights and obligations of the Secured
Party hereunder or to which under such laws the same have been transferred or novated or
assigned in any manner. To the extent a further notification or registration or any other
step is required by law to give effect to the above, such further registration shall be made
and the Pledgor hereby gives power of attorney to the Secured Party to make any
notifications and/or to require any required registrations to be made in the register of
shareholders of the Company, or to take any other steps, and undertakes to do so itself if
so requested by the Secured Party.
	 
	11.2	 	For the purpose of Article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code, to the
extent required under applicable law and without prejudice to any other terms hereof, the
Secured Party hereby expressly reserves the preservation of this Pledge and the security
interest created thereunder in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer
of the Secured Obligations.
	 
	12.	 	COSTS AND EXPENSES
	 
	 	 	The obligations of the Pledgor to pay costs and expenses to the Secured Party
detailed in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated
into this Pledge Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
	 
	13.	 	AMENDMENTS
	 
	 	 	This Pledge Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except with the
written consent of the Pledgor and the Secured Party.

ceases to be contingently owing;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Payment: will pay to the Administrative Agent from the amount retained, all

secured parties in respect of the Secured Property.

	13.2	 	PPSA — Part 9 and additional rights
	 
	 	 	The Debtor and the Administrative Agent agree that, to the extent permitted by law

	13.3	 	Other rights
	 
	 	 	Where the Administrative Agent has rights in addition to, or existing separately
from, those in Part 9 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply and are not
limited or excluded (or otherwise adversely affected) by any right provided by this
document or by law.

	14   	 	ASSIGNMENT

	14.1	 	Assignment by Debtor
	 
	 	 	The Debtor may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this

its rights and obligations under this document.

this document; or

	 	(b)	 	Protect security: protect the security created under this document.

Administrative Agent or any Receiver or Attorney.

	 	 	In the event of a conflict between a provision of this document and a provision of
the Credit Agreement or the U.S. Pledge Agreement, as applicable, the Credit

	 	 	This document may be executed in any number of counterparts. Once the parties have

PLEDGE AGREEMENT 

          PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated as of June 5, 2006 between 3112751 Nova Scotia Company, an unlimited
company incorporated under the laws of Nova Scotia (the “Obligor”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
as administrative agent for the lenders or other financial institutions or entities party, as
lenders, to the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, together with its successors
in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

          Constellation Brands, Inc., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors, certain Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of May 31, 2006 (as modified and
supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the
terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit (by making of loans and issuing letters of
credit) to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower in an aggregate principal or face amount not
exceeding U.S. $3,500,000,000 (which amount may, in the circumstances therein provided, be
increased to U.S. $4,000,000,000). In addition, the Obligor may from time to time be obligated to
various of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) in respect of certain Hedging Agreements under and as
defined in the Credit Agreement (such indebtedness being herein referred to as “Swap Indebtedness”,
it being understood that such Swap Indebtedness shall continue to be secured hereunder whether or
not the Obligor’s counterparty under any Hedging Agreement remains a Lender).

          To induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Obligor has agreed to mortgage, charge, pledge, hypothecate, assign and grant a
security interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) as security for the Secured
Obligations (as so defined). Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          Section 1. Definitions and Limited Recourse Guarantee.

the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and all other
amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower under
the Credit Agreement and by the Obligor under any of the other Loan Documents, and all obligations
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) in
respect of any Hedging Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement and such Hedging Agreement (such obligations being herein collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). The Obligor hereby further agrees that if the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Obligor will promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at

Obligations whenever arising and this guarantee and the security granted herein shall secure the
Secured Obligations and any ultimate balance thereof; provided that, recourse by the Administrative

Obligations and the Obligor’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited and
restricted to the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders to realize
against the Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall have recourse and remedies hereunder only

action, enforcement or proceeding commenced to realize against the above described collateral
security but solely for the purpose of being able to realize upon such collateral security and the
Administrative Agent shall not (i) otherwise be entitled to sue or commence any action or other
proceeding against the Obligor; or (ii) be entitled to seek a judgment, execution or other process
against the Obligor, in respect of the Secured Obligations or any deficiency following realization,
except, in each case, for the purpose of, or in connection with, realizing on the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the limited rights of recourse contained herein
are in addition to and not in substitution for, and for greater certainty, not intended to limit
the recourse of the Administrative Agent and Lenders against the Obligor pursuant to any other
agreement now or hereafter delivered by the Obligor to the Administrative Agent or any other
security now or
hereafter held by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligor, the Secured Obligations
or any other property, assets or undertaking of the Obligor.

          The Obligor confirms, covenants and agrees to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that
Sections 3.02 through 3.07, inclusive, of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference
herein and shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Obligor and to the guarantee by the Obligor
contained in the preceding paragraph, as if each of such Sections were set out herein in their
entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
foregoing sentence has been

2

 

included in support of this Agreement only, and that the Obligor is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, and
under no circumstances shall be considered a Subsidiary Guarantor, as defined in and for the
purposes of the Credit Agreement.

          Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Obligor represents and warrants to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

	 	(a)	 	The Obligor is the sole registered and beneficial owner of the Collateral in which it
purports to grant a security interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof and no Lien exists or
will exist upon such Collateral at any time, and no right or option to acquire the same
exists in favor of any other Person, except for Liens permitted under Section 7.02 of the
Credit Agreement and except for the pledge and security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and their applicable Affiliates, in
the case of Swap Indebtedness) created or provided for herein, which pledge and security
interest shall constitute a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in and to
all of such Collateral.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Pledged Interests of the Obligor identified in Annex 1 hereto are, and all other
Pledged Interests in which the Obligor shall hereafter grant a security interest pursuant
to Section 3 hereof will be, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and none of such Pledged Interests will be subject to any contractual
restriction, or (other than with respect to private company restrictions) any restriction
under the charter, articles of association, by-laws or operating agreement, as the case may
be, of the respective Issuer of such Pledged Interests, upon the transfer of such Pledged
Interests (except for any such restriction contained herein or in or otherwise permitted by
the Credit Agreement).
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Pledged Interests of the Obligor identified in Annex 1 hereto constitute 65% of all
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, units, partnership interests or
other equity interests, as the case may be, of every class of the Issuers registered in the
name of or beneficially owned by the Obligor on the date hereof (whether or not registered
in the name of the Obligor) and said Annex 1 correctly identifies, as at the date hereof,
the respective Issuers of such Pledged Interests and (i) in the case of the Pledged Stock,
if any, the respective class of the shares comprising such Pledged Stock and the respective
number of shares (and registered owners thereof) represented by each certificate evidencing
such Pledged Stock and (ii) in the case of the Pledged Partnership Interests, the
respective class of the units comprising such Pledged Partnership Interests and the
respective number of units (and registered owners thereof) represented by each certificate
evidencing such Pledged Partnership Interests.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Each Pledged Partnership Interest owned by the Obligor as of the date of this Pledge
Agreement is represented by a certificate.

          Section 3. Collateral. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, the Obligor
hereby mortgages, charges, pledges, assigns and grants a security interest to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders (and their applicable Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness) as hereinafter provided, in all of the Obligor’s present and future right,
title and interest in the following property, whether now owned by the Obligor or hereafter
acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence, and wherever located (all
being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”):

3

 

	 	(a)	 	the respective shares of common stock of the Issuers evidenced by the certificates
identified in Part A of Annex 1 hereto beside the name of the Obligor, if any, and all
other shares of capital stock of whatever class of other Issuers, now or hereafter owned by
the Obligor, together with in each case the certificates evidencing the same, in each case
subject to the limitation set forth in the proviso below with respect to shares of any
Foreign Subsidiary (collectively, the “Pledged Stock”);
	 
	 	(b)	 	the limited partnership units or other interests of the Issuer identified in Part B of
Annex 1 hereto beside the name of the Obligor, and all other partnership interests of other
Issuers, now or hereafter owned by the Obligor, in each case subject to the limitation set
forth in the proviso below with respect to partnership interests of any Foreign Subsidiary
(the “Pledged Partnership Interests” and, together with the Pledged Stock, the “Pledged
Interests”);
	 
	 	(c)	 	all shares, securities, moneys or property representing a dividend or distribution of
profits on any of the Pledged Interests, or representing a distribution or return of
capital upon or in respect of the Pledged Interests, or resulting from a split-up,
revision, reclassification or other like change of the Pledged Interests or otherwise
received in exchange therefor, any subscription warrants, rights or options issued to the
holders of, or otherwise in respect of, the Pledged Interests, in each case subject to the
limitation set forth in the proviso below;
	 
	 	(d)	 	without affecting the obligations of the Obligor under any provision prohibiting such
action hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, in the event of any consolidation or merger
in which an Issuer is not the surviving corporation or other entity, all shares of each
class of the capital stock, limited partnership units or other ownership interests of the
successor corporation, limited partnership or other entity (unless such successor
corporation, limited partnership or other entity is the Obligor itself) formed by or
resulting from such consolidation or merger, in each case subject to the limitation set
forth in the proviso below (the Pledged Stock and Pledged Interests, collectively together
with all other certificates, shares, units, interests, securities, properties or moneys as
may from time to time be pledged hereunder pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above and
this clause (d) being herein collectively called the “Equity Collateral”);
	 
	 	(e)	 	the balance from time to time in the Collateral Account; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	all proceeds of any of the property of the Obligor described in the preceding clauses
of this Section 3 (including, without limitation, all causes of action, claims and
warranties now or hereafter held by the Obligor in respect of any of the items listed
above) and, to the extent related to any property described in said clauses or such
proceeds, all books, correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other papers;

provided that, in the case of any pledge of the shares of stock, ownership interests,
partnership interests or other equity interests of any Issuer that is a Foreign Subsidiary, only a
portion of the issued and outstanding shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests or
other equity interests of such Issuer representing 65% of the aggregate voting shares, units,
ownership interests, partnership interests or other equity interests in such Issuer shall be deemed
to be delivered in pledge hereunder by the Obligor.

     In addition to the foregoing, the parties contemplate that the pledge of the Pledged Interests
provided for in this Agreement will be supplemented by that certain amended and restated U.S.
Pledge Agreement dated as of June 5, 2006 executed and delivered by, inter alia, the Obligor for
the

4

 

benefit of the Lenders (and their applicable Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness) (through
the Administrative Agent) (the “U.S. Pledge Agreement”), which U.S. Pledge Agreement will provide
for the pledge of the Pledged Interests in accordance with the applicable requirements of the laws
of the State of New York. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of the U.S. Pledge Agreement, the provisions of the U.S. Pledge Agreement
shall govern and prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.

          Section 4. Cash Proceeds of Collateral.

          4.01 Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall cause JPMorgan Chase to
establish a single, segregated trust account (the “Collateral Account”), which shall be a
“securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and in respect
of which the Administrative Agent shall be the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(7) of the Uniform Commercial Code), into which there shall be deposited from time to time
the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral (including proceeds of insurance thereon) required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto and into which the Obligor shall deposit such
additional amounts as provided in Section 2.05(l) of the Credit Agreement, as it may be required to
pledge as additional collateral security thereunder. The balance from time to time in the
Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute
payment of the Secured Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Except as expressly
provided in the next sentence, the Administrative Agent shall remit the collected balance standing
to the credit of the Collateral Account to or upon the order of the Obligor as the Obligor through
the Borrower shall from time to time instruct. However, at any time following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by
the Lenders as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion apply or
cause to be applied (subject to collection) the balance from time to time standing to the credit of
the Collateral Account to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section
5.08 hereof. The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal
only as provided herein. In addition to the foregoing, the Obligor agrees that, at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the proceeds of any Collateral
hereunder shall be received by it, the Obligor shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
as promptly as possible deposit such proceeds into the Collateral Account. Until so deposited, all
such proceeds shall be held in trust by the Obligor for and as the property of the Administrative
Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of the Obligor.

          4.02 Investment of Balance in Collateral Account. Amounts on deposit in the Collateral
Account shall be invested from time to time in such Permitted Investments as the Obligor through
the Borrower (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative
Agent) shall determine, which Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the
control of the Administrative Agent, provided that at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders
as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time
to time elect to liquidate any such Permitted Investments and to apply or cause to be applied the
proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section 5.08
hereof.

          4.03 Cover for LC Exposure. Upon receipt of any amounts to be deposited into the
Collateral Account as cover for LC Exposure under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.05(l)
thereof, the Administrative Agent shall (i) cause JPMorgan Chase to establish a single, segregated
trust sub-account in the Collateral Account (designated “LC Exposure Sub-Account”), which shall be
a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and in
respect of which the Administrative Agent shall be the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(7) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and (ii) deposit such amounts in such sub-account, and
all amounts held

5

 

therein shall constitute collateral security first for the LC Exposure outstanding from time to
time and second as collateral security for the other Secured Obligations hereunder.

              Section 5. Further Assurances; Remedies. In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and
security interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Obligor hereby agrees with each Lender and the
Administrative Agent as follows:

              5.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. The Obligor shall:

	 	(a)	 	if any of the shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity
interests, securities, moneys or property required to be pledged by the Obligor under
clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of Section 3 hereof are received by the Obligor,
forthwith (subject to Section 5.04(c)) transfer and deliver to the Administrative Agent
such shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity interests or
securities so received by the Obligor (together with the certificates for any such shares,
units and securities which are registered in the name of the Obligor, duly endorsed in
blank or accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank), all of which
thereafter shall be held by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, as part of the Collateral or take such other action as the Administrative Agent
shall deem necessary or appropriate to duly record the Lien created hereunder in such
shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity interests,
securities, moneys or property referred to in said clauses (a) through (d), inclusive;
	 
	 	(b)	 	give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument,
document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable
judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security
interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and
enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest, including,
without limitation, following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof,
causing any or all of the Equity Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of
the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any
Equity Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the
Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to the Obligor copies of any notices and
communications received by it with respect to the Equity Collateral pledged by the Obligor
hereunder);
	 
	 	(c)	 	keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral, and stamp or
otherwise mark such books and records in such manner as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement;
and
	 
	 	(d)	 	subject to Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement, permit representatives of the
Administrative Agent, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours to
inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and
permit representatives of the Administrative Agent to be present at the Obligor’s place of
business to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the
Collateral, and forward copies of any notices or communications received by the Obligor
with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the Administrative Agent may require.

              5.02 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent

6

 

(granted with the authorization of the Lenders as specified in the Credit Agreement), the
Obligor shall not file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on
file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the
Collateral in which the Administrative Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit
of the Lenders (and their applicable Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness).

               5.03
 Preservation of Rights. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take steps
necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

               5.04
 Special Provisions Relating to Equity Collateral.

	 	(a)	 	The Obligor will cause the Equity Collateral to constitute at all times not
less than 65% of (i) in the case of the Pledged Stock, if any, the total number of shares of each class of capital stock of each applicable Issuer then outstanding and
(ii) in the case of the Pledged Partnership Interests, the total number of units of
each class of each applicable Issuer then outstanding.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Obligor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other
powers of ownership pertaining to the Equity Collateral for all purposes not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other
instrument or agreement executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent in
connection therewith, provided that the Obligor agrees that it will not vote the
Equity Collateral in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
the Credit Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Obligor shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends and/or other
distributions of income or profit on the Equity Collateral paid in cash.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of
Default shall continue, and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exercises any available right to declare any Secured Obligation due and payable or
seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or
under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement relating to such
Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Equity Collateral
shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent and retained by it in the
Collateral Account as part of the Equity Collateral, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, and, if the Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, the Obligor
agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate additional
dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if
such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to
the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the Obligor (except to the extent
theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the Administrative
Agent to the Obligor.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Obligor agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, cause or permit any Pledged Partnership Interest existing as of
the date of this Pledge Agreement to cease to be certificated.

               5.05 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:

7

 

	 	(a)	 	Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect
to the Collateral of a secured party under the PPSA and the Uniform Commercial Code
(whether or not the PPSA or said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the
rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a
secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any
rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the
right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and
other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent
were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Obligor agrees to take all such
action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of
the Obligor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at
any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral,
but shall be under no obligation to do so; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Administrative Agent may, upon twenty days’ prior written notice to the
Obligor of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof that
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective agents, sell, lease,
assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or
places as the Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for
future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale,
without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or
of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable
law and cannot be waived), and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or anyone else
may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so
disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private
sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise),
of the Obligor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly
waived and released (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The Administrative
Agent may, without notice or publication (to the extent permitted by applicable law),
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at
any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Without limiting the generality of the provisions contained above in this
Section 5.05, during the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, and in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity or
contained in any other agreement between the Obligor and the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may: (a) obtain possession of any Collateral which it does not
already hold, by any method permitted by law; (b) realize upon, collect, sell,
transfer, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deal with the
Collateral or any part thereof; (c) notify any parties obligated in respect of any
Collateral (including without limitation proceeds) to make payment thereof to the
Administrative Agent; (d) exercise all voting rights attached to the Equity Collateral
(whether or not registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or its nominee) and give or withhold all consents, waivers and
ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though
it were the absolute owner thereof; (e) exercise any and all rights of conversion,
exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any
of the Equity Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof including,
without limitation,

8

 

the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Equity Collateral upon
the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment
of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Issuer of any right, privilege or option
pertaining to any of the Equity Collateral, and in connection therewith, to deposit
and deliver any of the Equity Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it
may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it; (f) comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with
any proposed sale or other disposition of the Collateral as may be necessary in
order to comply with applicable law or regulation or any policy imposed by any
stock exchange, securities commission or other governmental or regulatory authority
or official, and the Obligor further agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not
be liable or accountable to the Obligor for any discount in the sale price of the
Collateral which may be given by reason of the fact that such Collateral are sold
in compliance with any such limitation or restriction; and (g) file proofs of claim
and other documents in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up, or other judicial proceeding relating
to the Obligor.

               The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.05 shall be
applied in accordance with Section 5.08 hereof.

               5.06
Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the
Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such
realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligor shall remain liable for
any deficiency.

               5.07 Private Sale. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective
Affiliates shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable
manner. Subject to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders exercising any rights or remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates arising by reason of the fact that the
price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured
Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer
the Collateral to more than one offeree.

               5.08 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as
provided below in this Section 5, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all
or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the
Administrative Agent under Section 4 hereof or this Section 5, shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent:

               First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization,
including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the
reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all reasonable expenses incurred and
advances made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith;

               Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and ratably in
accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Lenders holding the
same may otherwise agree; and

9

 

          Finally, to the payment to the Obligor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any cash or other amounts held in the “LC Exposure
Sub-Account” of the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall be applied first to
the LC Exposure outstanding from time to time and second to the other Secured Obligations in the
manner provided above in this Section 5.

          As used in this Section 5, “proceeds” of Collateral means cash, securities and other property
realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received
under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Obligor or any Issuer of or
obligor on any of the Collateral.

          5.09
Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the
Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to which the then outstanding principal
amount of and accrued interest on the Loans are declared to be immediately due and payable, and
five Business Days after the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Obligor for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments
that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof,
which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order
of the Obligor representing the dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

          5.10 Perfection. (a) Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Obligor (i) (a) shall file such financing statements and other documents, if any, in
such offices as the Administrative Agent may request to perfect the security interests granted by
Section 3 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to perfect the security interests in
the Pledged Partnership Interests) and (b) authorizes the Administrative Agent and anybody acting
on its behalf to take any of the foregoing actions and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent all
certificates identified in Part A of Annex 1 hereto, accompanied by undated stock powers duly
executed in blank.

     (b) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate signed by the President,
a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower to the effect that any of the shares, units, ownership interests, partnership interests, other equity interests,
securities, moneys or property pledged by the Obligor under clauses (a) through (d),
inclusive, of Section 3 hereof are no longer required to be so pledged pursuant to the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to take such action
at the request and expense of the Borrower as shall be reasonably necessary to release the
pledge and grant of the security interest in such shares, units, ownership interests,
partnership interests, other equity interests or securities (and the certificates, if any,
for any such shares, units and securities duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated
stock powers duly executed in blank).

          5.11 Termination. Upon the date on which all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full
and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and all LC
Exposure and Swap Indebtedness shall have expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall
terminate, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith (i) cause to be assigned, transferred and
delivered, against receipt

10

 

but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money
received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Obligor and (ii) execute and deliver to the
Obligor upon such termination such financing change statements and such other documentation as
shall be reasonably requested by the Obligor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on
the Collateral.

          5.12
Further Assurances. The Obligor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request
of the Administrative Agent, the Obligor will execute and deliver such further documents and do
such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to
effect the purposes of this Agreement.

          Section 6. Miscellaneous.

          6.01 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder shall be in writing and

          6.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of its agents to
exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Administrative Agent or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          6.03 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by
an instrument in writing duly executed by the Obligor and the Administrative Agent (with the
consent of the requisite Lenders specified in Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement). Any such
amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each holder of
any of the Secured Obligations and the Obligor.

          6.04 Expenses. The Obligor agrees to reimburse each of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with (i) any
Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding resulting therefrom, including,
without limitation, all manner of participation in or other involvement with (w) performance by the
Administrative Agent of any obligations of the Obligor in respect of the Collateral that the
Obligor has failed or refused to perform, (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure,
winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange,

care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Administrative Agent in
respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (y) judicial or
regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings (whether
or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the
enforcement of this Section 6.04, and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations
entitled to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

          6.05
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of the Obligor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders (and
their applicable Affiliates, in the case of Swap Indebtedness) and each holder of any
of the Secured Obligations (provided, however, that the Obligor shall not assign or transfer
its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, it being
understood that any transaction involving

11

 

the Obligor permitted under Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement shall not be deemed to be an
assignment for purposes of this Section 6.05).

          6.06
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may
execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

          6.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the law of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

          6.08 Captions. The captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this
Agreement.

          6.09 Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.

          6.10 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as
nearly as may be possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in
any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          6.11 The Administrative Agent. As provided in Article IX of the Credit Agreement, each
Lender has appointed JPMorgan Chase as its Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement.
Following the payment in full of all Secured Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and
the termination or expiration of the Commitments and LC Exposure thereunder, the provisions of said
Article IX shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement until the payment in full of the Swap Indebtedness. In
that connection, following such payment in full and expiration and termination of the Commitments
and LC Exposure, the term “Required Lenders” (as used in said Article IX) shall be deemed to refer
to Lenders or other Persons holding Secured Obligations representing at least 65% of the aggregate
Secured Obligations.

          6.12 Additional Security. This Agreement and the security granted hereunder are in addition to
and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent
from the Obligor or in respect of the Secured Obligations.

the Obligor, the Obligor has rights in the currently existing Collateral and that the Obligor and

To the Lenders party to the Credit

Agreement referred to below, and

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as

Administrative Agent

          Re:      Constellation Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel to Constellation Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), and certain of its subsidiaries, in connection with (i) that certain Credit Agreement
dated as of June 5, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors
party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, Citicorp North America, Inc., as Syndication Agent, J.P.
Morgan Securities, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Book
Runners, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Documentation Agent, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as
Administrative Agent for such Lenders, providing for, among other things, extensions of credit to
be made by the Lenders to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
$3,500,000,000 (which amount may, in the circumstances therein provided, be increased to up to
$4,000,000,000), and (ii) the various agreements and documents referred to in the next following
paragraph. As such counsel, we have been requested to render this opinion pursuant to Section
5.01(a)(ii)(u) of the Credit Agreement. Except where indicated, capitalized terms used in this
opinion and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit
Agreement.

          In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements,
instruments and other documents:

	 	(a)	 	the Credit Agreement;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the U.S. Pledge Agreement; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	such corporate records of the Obligors and such other documents as we have
deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

 

 

The Credit Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Credit Documents”.

          In rendering this opinion, we have made such examination of laws as we have deemed relevant
for the purposes hereof. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied
upon representations and/or certificates of officers of the Obligors certificates and documents
issued by public officials and authorities, and information received from searches of public
records.

          Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications
hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

          1. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Obligor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation as indicated on
Annex 1 hereto. Each Obligor is qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign
corporation under the laws of each state set forth on Annex 1 hereto. All of the foregoing opinions
(other than the opinion set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph 1) are based solely on
certificates of the state agencies from the states set forth on
Annex 1 as of the dates set forth
on such certificates and are limited to the meaning ascribed to such certificates by each such
applicable state agency.

          2. Each Obligor has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and transact the
business in which it is currently engaged, and to execute and deliver, and to perform its
obligations under, the Credit Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower has all requisite
corporate power and authority to borrow, and to incur liability in respect of the Letters of
Credit, under the Credit Agreement.

          3. Each Obligor’s execution and delivery of, and its performance of its obligations under, the
Credit Documents to which it is a party, and the Borrower’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement
and incurrence of liability in respect of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Obligor.

          4. Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party.

          5. The Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor
enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with its terms. The U.S. Pledge Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor and Foreign Pledgor (as defined
below) party thereto enforceable against each such Obligor and Foreign Pledgor in accordance with
its terms.

          6. The U.S. Pledge Agreement is sufficient to create, in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereunder, a
security interest in all right, title and interest of the Obligors and the Foreign Pledgors in and
to those items and types of collateral described in the U.S. Pledge Agreement in which the relevant

- 2 -

 

Obligor and Foreign Pledgor has rights and in which a security interest may be created under
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
State of New York (the “Code”) as
collateral security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the U.S. Pledge Agreement), except
(i) that such security interest will continue in Collateral (as so defined) after its sale,
exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-315 of the Code and (ii) the
security interest in Collateral in which an Obligor or Foreign Pledgor acquires rights after the
commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of such Obligor or Foreign Pledgor may
be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          7. The issued and outstanding ownership interests of each Issuer (as defined in the U.S.
Pledge Agreement) which is an Obligor consists of the type and number of shares or ownership
interests, as applicable, described on Annex 2 hereto. The foregoing opinion is given solely on the
basis of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying the accuracy of the information set
forth in Annex 2 hereto. Assuming (a) the Administrative Agent (or any custodian acting on its
behalf) has taken delivery in New York of the stock certificates representing the pledged shares
listed on attached Annex 2 (the “Pledged Shares”) and such certificates have been effectively
indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank as provided in Section 8-106(b) of the Code and
(b) continuous possession by the Administrative Agent of the stock certificates evidencing the
Pledged Shares so indorsed in the State of New York, the security interest in the Pledged Shares
constitutes a valid, perfected security interest under the Code in the interest of each Obligor in
the Pledged Shares, and such security interest has priority over a security interest of a secured
party which can be perfected under the Code who does not have control over the Pledged Shares,
except as follows: (i) in the case of the issuance of additional shares or other distributions in
respect of the Pledged Shares which constitute investment property (as such term is defined in
Section 9-102(49) of the Code) or additional instruments (as such term is defined in Section
9-102(47) of the Code), the
security interest therein in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
will be perfected only if possession thereof is obtained by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the provisions of the U.S. Pledge Agreement and of the Code, and only if the Administrative
Agent has “control” of any investment property in accordance with Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the
Code; and (ii) in the case of certain proceeds, the continuation of perfection of the security
interests therein in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders is limited to
the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the Code.

          8. No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any
governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States of America or the State of New
York (“Filing or Approval”) is required on the part of any Obligor for the execution, delivery or
performance by any Obligor of any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for the
Borrower’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and incurrence of liability in respect of the
Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, except for the filing of financing statements, and
other similar actions in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents, any
Filing or Approval which has previously been made or obtained and is in full force and effect on
the date hereof and any Filing or Approval required to be made after the date hereof.

          9. Each Obligor’s execution and delivery of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and
the performance of its obligations thereunder, do not on this date conflict with or

- 3 -

 

result in a breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation, articles of organization,
by-laws or operating agreement, as applicable, of such Obligor. Each Obligor’s execution and
delivery of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations
thereunder, do not on this date (i) result in a breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the assets of such Obligor pursuant to the
indentures listed on Annex 3 hereto (assuming that the laws of each jurisdiction governing such
instruments are the same as the laws of the State of New York), or (ii) to our actual knowledge
after inquiry of an officer of the Borrower, violate any existing judgment, order, writ, injunction
or decree expressly applicable to such Obligor, or (iii) violate any existing federal or New York
law or any existing federal or New York rule, regulation or ordinance applicable to such Obligor
and affecting the enforceability of the Credit Documents to which such Obligor is a party.

          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications and are based upon the
following further assumptions:

          A. We have assumed, without any investigation, with respect to each party thereto other than
the Borrower and the Obligors, (i) the full capacity, power and authority of such party to execute,
deliver and perform the Credit Documents, (ii) the due execution and delivery of the Credit
Documents by such party, and (iii) the legality, validity and binding effect of the Credit
Documents as against such party (other than, with respect to the U.S. Pledge Agreement, Canandaigua
Limited, Nobilo Holdings, Constellation Australia Pty Limited ACN 103 362 232 and 3112751 Nova
Scotia Company (each a “Foreign Pledgor” and,
collectively, “the “Foreign Pledgors”). We have also
assumed that each Foreign Pledgor (i) is duly organized, formed or created and validly existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, formed or created and (ii) has taken
all action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the U.S. Pledge
Agreement.

          B. We have assumed without any investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to original documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or
telestatic copies, and the authenticity and completeness of originals of such copies. We have also
assumed, without investigation, that the representations and warranties as to factual matters of
each of the Obligors in the Credit Documents are true and correct.

          C. The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that the terms may
not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited in certain circumstances.

          D. The enforceability of Article III and 10.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar
provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) may be limited by laws rendering unenforceable (i)
indemnification contrary to federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such
laws, and (ii) the release of a party from, or the indemnification of a party against, liability
for its own wrongful or negligent acts under certain circumstances.

- 4 -

 

          E. We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction (other than the
State of New York) in which any Lender or JPM is located that limit the interest, fees or other
charges such Lender or JPM may impose, and (ii) Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement (and any
similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents), insofar as such Section relates to the
subject matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York to adjudicate any
controversy related to the Credit Documents. Furthermore, to the extent that enforcement of
any of the Credit Documents is sought in the courts of the State of California (or in another forum
applying the laws of the State of California), we express no opinion as to: (i) any provision in
any of the Credit Documents providing for choice of laws other than the laws of the State of
California and (ii) any provision in any of the Credit Documents purporting to effect a waiver of
the right of a party to have a trial by jury.

          F. To the extent title to any property is required to be held by any party in order to perform
its obligations under any of the Credit Documents, we have assumed without any investigation that
such party holds title adequate to perform its obligations.

          G. The foregoing opinions are subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and/or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally, including without limitation fraudulent conveyance provisions under applicable
laws, and (ii) equitable limitations (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law) and public policy limitations relating to principles of good faith and fair dealing. The
foregoing opinions are also subject to the qualification that certain provisions contained in the
Credit Documents may not be enforceable, but (subject to the limitations as set forth elsewhere
herein) such unenforceability will not render the Credit Documents invalid as a whole or
substantially interfere with realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided
thereby. Finally, we wish to point out that provisions of the Credit Documents which permit the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or JPM to take action or make determinations, or to benefit from
indemnities and similar undertakings of the Obligors, may be subject to a requirement that such
action be taken or such determinations be made, and that any action or inaction by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or JPM which may give rise to a request for payment under such an
undertaking be taken or not taken, on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

          H. We express no opinion herein as to (i) whether any borrowing evidenced by the Credit
Documents is usurious under the applicable laws of any jurisdictions other than New York, (ii) the
effect of any land use or environmental law, rule, regulation or ordinance, (iii) the validity or
enforceability of any provision of any of the Credit Documents which might be construed as a waiver
of counterclaims, (iv) the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ or JPM’s right to collect any
payment due to the extent that such payment constitutes a penalty or forfeiture, and (v) the right,
title or interest of any of any Obligor or Foreign Pledgor in or to any assets or property in which
a Lien is purported to be created by the Credit Documents or, except as specifically provided in
paragraph 7 above, the perfection or, except as specifically provided in paragraph 7 above,
priority of any such Liens or any filings, recordings or registrations required in connection
therewith.

- 5 -

 

          I. We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors (or the enforceability of such obligations) of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations.

          J. We express no opinion with respect to any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction or
agency or tribunal thereof with respect to the manufacture, sale, distribution or control of
alcoholic beverages. We further express no opinion with respect to the effect of any law other than
(i) the law of the State of New York, (ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
(iii), subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in paragraph L below, the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in the State of Delaware and solely as set forth in
the CCH Secured Transactions Guide and without regard to the case law decided thereunder (the
“Delaware UCC”), (iv) the Federal law of the United States, and (v), with respect to our opinions
in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, the California General Corporation Law, irrespective of any
choice of law provisions which may be contained in any of the Credit Documents. In this regard, we
note that some of the Obligors are incorporated or organized in jurisdictions other than New York,
Delaware or California. Accordingly, for purposes of the opinions rendered in paragraphs 2 and 3,
above, we have assumed, with your consent and without investigation and without any representation
as to the reasonableness of such assumption, that the laws governing corporations or other entities
in the jurisdiction where such Obligors are incorporated or organized are the same in all
applicable respects as the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

          K. We wish to point out that (i) a New York statute provides that a judgment rendered by a
court of the State of New York in respect of an obligation denominated in any currency other than
Dollars would be rendered in such other currency and would be converted into Dollars at the rate of
exchange prevailing on date of entry of such judgment, and (ii) a judgment rendered by a United
States Federal court in the State of New York in respect of the obligation dominated in a currency
other than Dollars may be expressed in Dollars (provided that we express no opinion as to the rate
of exchange such court would apply).

          L. With respect to any matters concerning the Delaware UCC, we draw your attention to the fact
that we are not admitted to the Bar of the State of Delaware and are not experts in the law of such
jurisdiction and that any such opinions concerning the Delaware UCC are limited to Article 9 of the
Delaware UCC and are based solely upon our review of the statutory language of such Article (and
not on any legislative history or judicial decisions or any rules, regulations, guidelines,
released or interpretations concerning the Delaware UCC).

     This opinion is rendered solely to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and is intended
solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and may
not be relied upon, referred to or otherwise used by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
for any other purposes, or by any other Person other than in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent. The
opinions expressed herein are rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to
advise you of changes in law or fact which may affect the continued correctness of any of our
opinions as of a later date.

 Agreement referred to below

(the “Lenders”) and

USA

(the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and

on behalf of the Lenders

5 June 2006

Dear Sirs

	1.	 	We have acted as English legal adviser to Constellation Brands, Inc. (“Constellation”) and
Canandaigua Limited (“Canandaigua”).

	 	 	The opinion expressed in this letter is provided to you in connection with the Credit
Agreement dated 5 June 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) between, inter alia, Constellation,
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in relation to a U.S.$3,500,000,000 credit
facility being provided to Constellation.

	2.	 	In our capacity as English legal adviser to Constellation and Canandaigua we have only examined
and relied on the following documents:
	 
	2.1	 	copies of the Certificate of Incorporation of
Canandaigua dated 14 October 1998, the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name of
Canandaigua dated 30 October 1998, a Certificate of the Registrar of Companies as to certain
corporate matters in respect of Canandaigua dated 5 June 2006, and copies of the Memorandum and
Articles of Association of Canandaigua certified as true, correct, complete and up to date copies
by the Secretary of Canandaigua;
	 
	2.2	 	a copy of the written resolution of the board of directors of
Canandaigua dated 22 November 2004 inter alia approving and authorising execution, delivery and
performance of any and all guarantees, security agreements, pledge agreements and other collateral
agreements required by Additional Financing Arrangements (as

 

 

	 	 	defined in such written resolution) certified as a true copy by the Secretary of Canandaigua
(the “Written Resolution”);
	 
	2.3	 	a copy of a written approval of the Credit Agreement signed by
Thomas D. Roberts being the Treasurer of Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Approval”);
	 
	2.4	 	a certificate of the Assistant Secretary of Canandaigua dated 5 June 2006 certifying (inter
alia) that there are no proceedings for the amendment or modification of or for any other change in
the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Canandaigua, that the Written Resolution was duly and
validly adopted by the board of directors of Canandaigua and is in full force and effect, and has
not been subsequently amended, modified or rescinded, and that Robert Sands and Thomas Summer, both
being directors of Canandaigua, and Thomas D. Roberts, being an authorised officer of Canandaigua,
are duly authorised to sign and deliver the Pledge Agreement on behalf of Canandaigua (the
“Canandaigua Certificate”);
	 
	2.5	 	the Mortgage of Shares entered into between Canandaigua and the
Administrative Agent dated 5 June 2006 (the “Pledge Agreement”);
	 
	2.6	 	an execution copy of the Credit Agreement dated 5 June 2006; and
	 
	2.7	 	the result of a search in respect of Canandaigua conducted at the Companies Registry on 5
June 2006 and the result of an oral telephone enquiry of the Central Registry of Winding Up
Petitions at or about 11am (London time) on 5 June 2006 in respect of Canandaigua.
	 
	3.	 	In this letter the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement are together referred to as
the “Financing Documents”.
	 
	4.	 	For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed:
	 
	4.1	 	the genuineness of all signatures;
	 
	4.2	 	the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals;
	 
	4.3	 	the
completeness and conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as drafts or
certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity and completeness of all such original
documents;
	 
	4.4	 	the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties (other than Canandaigua) to
execute and deliver the Financing Documents and the due execution and delivery (pursuant to due
authorisation) of the Financing Documents by each party thereto (other than Canandaigua) on the
date thereof;
	 
	4.5	 	that the Credit Agreement and the rights and obligations created thereby
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Canandaigua in accordance with their terms
under the laws of the State of New York by which the Credit Agreement is expressed to be governed
and that the choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Credit Agreement is
recognised by the laws of the State of New York and that the Credit Agreement has not been
terminated or revoked by the parties thereto;

2

 

	4.6	 	that the submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the Credit
Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against the parties thereto under the laws of the State
of New York;
	 
	4.7	 	that, as to questions of fact, the Canandaigua Certificate is true, complete,
accurate and correct in all respects;
	 
	4.8	 	the due compliance with all matters under such laws other
than English law as may relate to the Financing Documents, the parties thereto or the performance
or enforcement by or against parties or such other persons of such of their obligations or rights
as are to be performed or enforced, as the case may be, outside England;
	 
	4.9	 	that the results of
the search and enquiry referred to in paragraph 2.7 above were accurate and complete;
	 
	4.10	 	that
Canandaigua has not passed a voluntary winding-up resolution, no petition has been presented or
order made by a court for the winding-up, dissolution or administration of Canandaigua and no
receiver, trustee, administrator or similar officer has been appointed in relation to Canandaigua
or any of Canandaigua’s assets or revenue;
	 
	4.11	 	that, on the date hereof, (a) Canandaigua was not
unable to pay its debts within the meaning of Section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986; and (b)
Canandaigua would not be, as a consequence of doing any act or thing which the Financing Documents
contemplate, permit or require Canandaigua to do, unable to pay its debts within the meaning of
such Section;
	 
	4.12	 	that the Financing Documents have not been and are not being entered into for
the purposes of repaying indebtedness which has been used for the acquisition of shares in
Canandaigua or any of its holding companies which would constitute the giving of financial
assistance directly or indirectly for the acquisition, or for the reduction or discharge of any
liability incurred in the acquisition of, shares in Canandaigua, or in any company of which it is a
subsidiary within the provisions of Section 151(1) and 151(2) of the Companies Act 1985;
	 
	4.13	 	that
the Pledge Agreement does not constitute financial collateral arrangements for the purposes of the
Financial Collateral Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003; and
	 
	4.14	 	the absence of any other
arrangements between any of the parties which modify or supersede any of the terms of the Financing
Documents.

For the purposes of this opinion, we have also assumed that the above assumptions were or are
applicable as at the date of execution and delivery of the Financing Documents.

We do not express any opinion herein as to, nor have we investigated for the purposes of this
opinion, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of England as they exist at the date
hereof (including those of the European Community (save to the extent incorporated into English
law)). Further, it is assumed that no foreign law (including those of the European Community)
which may apply with respect to the Financing Documents or any of the transactions and matters
contemplated thereby would be such as to affect any of the conclusions stated in this opinion. We
express no opinion as to matters of fact. This opinion

3

 

is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

	5.	 	Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below and to
any matters not disclosed to us, it is our opinion that, so far as the laws of England, as applied
by the English courts at the date of this opinion, are concerned:
	 
	5.1	 	Status
	 
	 	 	Canandaigua is a
company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of England;
	 
	5.2	 	Power and Authority
	 
	 	 	Canandaigua has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Pledge
Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, and has taken all necessary corporate action
to authorise the execution, delivery and performance of the Pledge Agreement;
	 
	5.3	 	Non-violation
	 
	 	 	The
execution and delivery by Canandaigua of the Pledge Agreement, and the performance by Canandaigua
of its obligations thereunder, will not conflict with or violate its Memorandum or Articles of
Association or any provision of any existing statute, rule or regulation under English law
pertaining to it;
	 
	5.4	 	Search and Enquiry
	 
	 	 	The search referred to in paragraph 2.7 above revealed no
order or resolution for the winding up of Canandaigua, no interim or final administration order in
relation to Canandaigua, and no notice of the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver or
administrator. A telephone enquiry of the Central Registry of Winding up Petitions
(the “Winding Up Enquiry”) revealed that no administration order or petition for the winding
up of Canandaigua had been presented;
	 
	5.5	 	No immunities from Suit, etc.
	 
	 	 	Canandaigua is subject to the relevant commercial law and civil law of England and Wales and
is generally subject to suit, and neither Canandaigua nor any of its respective properties enjoys
any right of immunity from any judicial proceedings;
	 
	5.6	 	Further acts
	 
	 	 	No further acts, conditions
or things are required by English law to be done, fulfilled or performed in order to enable
Canandaigua lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Pledge
Agreement or make the Pledge Agreement admissible in evidence in England other than delivery to the
Registrar of Companies of the Pledge Agreement together with the prescribed particulars of the
charges thereby constituted in compliance with Section 395 of the Companies Act 1985;

4

 

	5.7	 	Taxes
	 
	 	 	No stamp, registration or similar tax is required to be paid in England on or in relation to
the Pledge Agreement;
	 
	5.8	 	Enforceability
	 
	 	 	The Pledge Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of
Canandaigua;
	 
	5.9	 	Security
	 
	 	 	The Pledge Agreement is sufficient to create, in favour of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a security interest in all right, title and
interest in and to the collateral specified therein and pledged by Canandaigua thereunder;
	 
	6.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing this opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
	 
	6.1	 	an English court will not give effect to any provision of a contract if it could be established
that the amount expressed as being payable was such that the provision was in the nature of a
penalty. A provision will be held to be in the nature of a penalty to the extent that it requires
a stipulated sum to be paid irrespective of, or necessarily greater than, the loss likely to be
sustained;
	 
	6.2	 	there is some possibility that an English court would hold that a judgment on the
Financing Documents, whether given in an English court or elsewhere, would supersede the Financing
Documents to all intents and purposes so that (inter alia) any obligations relating to the payment
of default interest, indemnification and the manner and currency in which payments are to be made
would not be held to survive such a judgment;
	 
	6.3	 	provisions in the Financing Documents as to
severability may not be binding under English law and the question whether or not any provisions of
the Financing Documents which may be invalid on account of illegality may be severed from the other
provisions thereof in order to save those other provisions would be determined by the English
courts in their discretion;
	 
	6.4	 	where it can be shown that the directors of a company were not
acting bona fide or considering the best interests of that company when entering transactions to
provide support, such transactions could be set aside. The granting of security by Canandaigua
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement is done pursuant to powers which must be exercised for the benefit
of Canandaigua. Whilst the resolution referred to in paragraph 2.2 above refers to proposed
financing arrangements being for the benefit of the subsidiaries of Constellation Brands, Inc. as
well as for the benefit of Constellation Brands Inc. itself, this is a question of fact relating to
the nature of the business and operations of Canandaigua and we do not express any opinion as to
whether the English courts would determine that Canandaigua is in fact deriving a benefit from
those transactions;
	 
	6.5	 	although a right of set-off may exist pursuant to English law, we express
no opinion as to whether any provision in the Financing Documents conferring on any party

5

 

	 	 	thereto a right of set-off or similar right or a right excluding the same would be effective
against a liquidator, administrator or a creditor;
	 
	6.6	 	an English court might not treat as final,
conclusive or binding those certificates, calculations and determinations which the Financing
Documents state are to be so treated;
	 
	6.7	 	an English court may stay proceedings if concurrent
proceedings are being brought elsewhere;
	 
	6.8	 	the Financing Documents may be amended orally by the
parties thereto notwithstanding provisions therein to the contrary;
	 
	6.9	 	the effectiveness of
certain provisions exculpating a party from a responsibility, liability or duty otherwise owed may
be limited by law and applicable equitable principles;
	 
	6.10	 	we express no opinion as to any
provision of the Financing Documents which constitutes, or purports to constitute, a restriction on
the exercise of any statutory power by any person party thereto or any other person;
	 
	6.11	 	an
English court will not necessarily give effect to an indemnity for legal costs;
	 
	6.12	 	an indemnity,
insofar as it relates to stamp duty, payable in the United Kingdom, may be void under the
provisions of Section 117 of the Stamp Act 1891 and, insofar as it relates to the costs of
unsuccessful litigation incurred by the indemnified party, may not be given effect by the English
courts;
	 
	6.13	 	the search referred to in paragraph 2.7 above is not capable of revealing conclusively
whether or not:

	 	6.13.1	 	a winding up order has been made or a resolution passed for the winding up
of a company; or
	 
	 	6.13.2	 	an administration order has been made; or
	 
	 	6.13.3	 	a receiver, administrative
receiver, administrator or liquidator has been appointed,

	 	 	since notice of these matters may not be
filed with the Registrar of Companies immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the public
database or recorded on the public microfiches of the relevant company immediately.
	 
	 	 	In addition, the search is not capable of revealing, prior to the making of the relevant
order, whether or not a winding up petition or a petition for an administration order has been
presented;
	 
	6.14	 	the Winding Up Enquiry relates only to compulsory winding up and is not capable of
revealing conclusively whether or not a petition for a compulsory winding up has been presented or
an administration order has been made, since details of the petition may not have been entered on
the records of the Central Registry of Winding up Petitions immediately or, in the case of a
petition presented to a County Court, may not have been notified to the Central Registry and
entered on such records at all, and

6

 

	 	 	the response to an enquiry only relates to the period of approximately four years prior to the
date when the enquiry was made. Also, the results of oral telephone enquiries of the Central
Registry of Winding-Up Petitions have in the past been found to be unreliable;
	 
	6.15	 	this opinion is
subject to all applicable laws relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, reorganisation,
liquidation or analogous circumstances;
	 
	6.16	 	in appropriate cases, English courts will give
judgment in a currency other than sterling, although a judgment would have to be converted into
sterling for the purposes of enforcement or for claiming in a liquidation;
	 
	6.17	 	it seems that a
clause which provides that a notice shall be deemed to have been served at a fixed time after
dispatch has no application where it is proved that the notice was not in fact received by the
addressee;
	 
	6.18	 	a provision in any of the Financing Documents that a final judgment in any action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions is subject to rights
of appeal and other remedies available to litigants and to the laws and applicable procedures
prevailing in other jurisdictions;
	 
	6.19	 	except as specifically provided in paragraph 5.7 above, we
do not express any opinion as to any tax (including, without limitation, value added tax)
consequences, or filing to be made in respect of tax, arising out of any of the Financing Documents
or any transaction contemplated therein;
	 
	6.20	 	an English court has the power to stay an action
where it is shown that there is some other forum, having competent jurisdiction, which is more
appropriate for the trial of the action, that is, in which the case can be tried more suitably for
the interests of all the parties and ends of justice, and where staying the action is not
inconsistent with any relevant legislation including, without limitation, the Civil Jurisdiction
and Judgments Act 1982 (as amended by the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1991) and
subordinate legislation made thereunder;
	 
	6.21	 	the expressions “enforceable”, “valid” and “binding”
as used above mean that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the relevant document
are of a type which the English courts enforce or will treat as valid and binding, as the case may
be.
It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances
in accordance with their terms. In particular:

	 	(a)	 	enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity or otherwise be subject to
the discretionary jurisdiction of the English courts — for example, an order for specific
performance or other equitable remedies may not be available where damages are considered
to be an adequate remedy;
	 
	 	(b)	 	claims may become barred by statutory limitation or prescription or may be or become
subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim;
	 
	 	(c)	 	where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside England, they may not
be enforceable in England to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws
of that jurisdiction, or contrary to public policy or the exchange control regulations of
that jurisdiction;

7

 

	 	(d)	 	where a party to an agreement is a party to that agreement in more than one capacity,
that party will not be able to enforce obligations owed by it to itself;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the enforcement of obligations may be limited by the provisions of English law
applicable to agreements held to have been frustrated by events happening after their
execution; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	the enforcement of any term of a contract by a person who is not a party to the
contract pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 is subject to the
provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999;

	6.22	 	we express no opinion as to the enforceability under English law of any obligation to pay
interest “as well after as before judgment” (or any similar expression);
	 
	6.23	 	an English court may
refuse to give effect to a provision in any of the Financing Documents in respect of the costs of
unsuccessful litigation brought before an English court or where the court has itself made an order
for costs;
	 
	6.24	 	an English court may interpret restrictively any provision purporting to allow the
beneficiary of the Pledge Agreement to make an amendment to the obligations to which the Pledge
Agreement relates without further reference to Canandaigua. We would advise obtaining the
confirmation of Canandaigua in such circumstances;
	 
	6.25	 	the choice of English law to govern the
Pledge Agreement would not be recognised or upheld if its application would be incompatible with
public policy, for example (but without limitation) if it were made with the intention of evading
the law of the jurisdiction with which the Pledge Agreement had its most substantial connection and
which, if English law had not been chosen, would have invalidated the Pledge Agreement or been
inconsistent with it. As regards jurisdiction, an English court may stay proceedings if concurrent
proceedings are being brought elsewhere;
	 
	6.26	 	the effect of any term of a trust which purports to
exclude or restrict the statutory right of indemnity under Section 31(1) of the Trustee Act 2000 is
unclear;
	 
	6.27	 	the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of a security interest, or its priority
in relation to other rights and interests, may be governed or affected by the law which governs, or
is otherwise applicable to, the asset which the security interest covers;
	 
	6.28	 	a security interest
may be invalid or unenforceable if the terms attaching to the asset which it covers, or on which
that asset is held, preclude the creation of security interests over it;
	 
	6.29	 	a security interest
over an asset may rank after:

	 	6.29.1	 	rights or interests which a third party holds in relation to that asset on the date
on which the security interest is created; or
	 
	 	6.29.2	 	rights or interests which a third party later acquires without notice of the
existence of the security interest or, in the case of an asset covered by a floating
charge, with notice of the existence of the floating charge but without notice of a
restriction precluding the owner of the asset from creating a right or interest such as
that acquired by the third party;

8

 

	6.30	 	a person who has created a security interest over certain types of asset (assets covered by
mortgages over which the Law of Property Act 1925 applies) is entitled, so far as English law is
relevant, to apply to the High Court for an order that the asset be sold, notwithstanding that
the person holding the security interest dissents;
	 
	6.31	 	the enforcement of security interests is subject to applicable insolvency legislation such
as the Insolvency Act 1986 and the Enterprise Act 2002, as well as certain rules of law. For
example, a person who holds a charge over property cannot sell the property to himself and owes a
duty to take reasonable care to realise the property for a proper price;
	 
	6.32	 	the practical value of the security interests created by the Pledge Agreement may be limited
because, although the share certificates may be held by the pledgee bank, the share register of
the company whose shares are being charged (rather than the share certificates) is the primary
evidence of legal ownership of the shares, and it is possible that the company could issue other
certificates or alter the register, for example following an assignment of the shares to a third
party;
	 
	6.33	 	a court might hold the security interests created by the Pledge Agreement to be floating
(and not fixed) charges. We draw attention to the fact that a floating charge is more vulnerable
than a fixed charge both to being set aside in a liquidation or administration and to losing its
priority to other rights and interests. A floating charge will take effect subject to third party
rights or interests (including rights of set-off) unless the third party concerned had express
notice that a term in the Pledge Agreement prohibited the type of transaction which Canandaigua
entered into with him or that the floating charge had crystallised, and subject also to any
execution, distress or attachment completed before crystallisation. Also, amounts produced in a
liquidation or receivership by realising assets subject to a floating charge might first have to
be used to pay certain preferential debts, for example, money owed to the Inland Revenue for tax
deducted at source, value added tax and remuneration of employees. An administrator has wider
powers to sell assets subject to a floating charge than assets subject to a fixed charge. The
Enterprise Act 2002 has to some extent restricted the powers of the holder of a floating charge
and the availability of proceeds of a floating charge to the holder of that floating charge; and
	 
	6.34	 	we express no opinion as to whether or not the Pledge Agreement constitutes financial
collateral arrangements within the meaning of the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No. 2)
Regulations 2003.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the specific persons to whom it is addressed and for
the purposes of the Financing Documents, and is not to be relied upon by, or communicated to, any
other person or for any other purpose nor is it to be quoted or made public in any way without
our prior written consent.

Yours faithfully

EXHIBIT D-3

[Form of Opinion of Luxembourg Counsel to the Obligors]

Opinion of Luxembourg Counsel to the Obligors

 

 

	 	 	 

	To: The Lenders party to the Credit

	 	5 June 2006
	Agreement (as defined below) and
	 	 
	JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity
	 	 
	as Administrative Agent for itself and on
	 	 
	behalf of the Lenders under the Credit
	 	 
	Agreement and as secured party for itself
	 	 
	and on behalf of the Lenders under the New
	 	 
	Pledge Agreement (as defined below)
	 	 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Pledge over shares (“parts sociales”) in CB International Finance S.A.R.L.

	1.	 	We have acted as advisors as to Luxembourg law on behalf of CB International
Finance S.A.R.L. (the “Company”) in relation to the transaction as defined below, a
pledge over shares (“parts sociales”) granted by Constellation Brands, Inc. (the
“Pledgor”) in its capacity as sole shareholder of the Company over 65% of the voting
shares (“parts sociales”) of the Company under and pursuant to the New Pledge Agreement
(as defined below) and a USD 3,500,000,000 credit agreement dated as of 5 June 2006
entered into between, inter alia, the Pledgor as borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors
(as defined therein), the Lenders (as defined therein), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

	2.	 	For the purpose of the present opinion we have reviewed an executed copy of
a Luxembourg law pledge over shares agreement dated as of 5 June 2006 (the “New Pledge
Agreement”) between the Pledgor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as secured party (the
“Secured Party”) and in the presence of the Company, pursuant to which the Pledgor
pledged 65% of the shares (“parts sociales”) it holds in the share capital of the
Company to the benefit of the Secured Party and replacing the pledge agreement dated 22
December 2004 (the “Initial Pledge Agreement”), which has been released.

	3.	 	We have further reviewed the following documents in relation to the Company:

	3.1	 	a copy of the constitutional deed dated 24 March 2003 and a copy of its
co-ordinated articles dated 10 March 2005 (hereafter the “Company Constitutional Deed”);

 

 

	3.2	 	a copy of the minutes of the resolutions of the board of managers of the
Company, dated 24 May 2006 authorising the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement
and of the New Pledge Agreement (hereafter the “Company Board Resolutions”);
	 
	3.3	 	a copy of the resolutions of the sole shareholder of the Company dated 29
May 2006 whereby the sole shareholder approves the Secured Party and any other person which
would acquire the shares of the Company as a result of the enforcement of the New Pledge
Agreement as new shareholder of the Company (the “Company Shareholder Resolution”);
	 
	3.4	 	a copy of the shareholders register of the Company evidencing the release
of the Initial Pledge Agreement and the due registration of the pledge over 65% of the
shares of the Company made pursuant to the New Pledge Agreement (the “Company Share
Register”); and
	 
	3.5	 	a certificate of the court clerks to the second chamber of the Tribunal
d’arrondissement de Luxembourg dated 30 May 2006 and stating that as of the date thereof,
the Company has not been declared insolvent and has not requested composition proceedings or
controlled management and suspension of payments proceedings to be opened, and that no
compulsory winding-up proceedings have been opened against the Company (“liquidation
judiciaire”) (the “Company Court Certificate”)
	 
	 	 	(all such documents being referred to together hereafter as the “Company Corporate
Documents”, and the transactions contemplated thereby together with the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the New Pledge Agreement shall be referred
to together as the “Transaction”).
	 
	4.	 	For the purpose of this opinion, we have seen but do not opine upon the
Credit Agreement. We have not reviewed any documents other than the New Pledge
Agreement and the Company Corporate Documents, and this opinion does not purport to
address any legal issues, which arise in relation to such other documents that may be
or come into in force between the parties even if the New Pledge Agreement contains an
express reference thereto.
	 
	 	 	We further refer you to the legal opinion dated 22 December 2004, which we have
issued in the framework of this Transaction (the “Prior Opinion”). Nothing in this
Opinion is intended to nor may be construed as extending or changing any of the
opinions, reservations and qualifications expressed in the Prior Opinion (and in
particular any qualifications in relation to the New Pledge Agreement), and any and
all opinions contained herein are subject to the assumptions, qualifications,
reservations and limitations expressed in the Prior Opinion. In addition, we assume
for the purpose of the opinions expressed herein that all assumptions contained in
the Prior Opinion (on the terms of the Prior Opinion) are and remain true, accurate
and up-to-date on the date hereof and during the period between the date of the Prior
Opinion and today.

- 2 -

 

	5.	 	This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg (“Luxembourg”) as currently applied by the Luxembourg courts in
published case law. We have made no independent investigation of the laws of any other
jurisdiction for the purpose of this opinion and do not express or imply any opinion in
relation to any such laws. Notwithstanding the particular assumptions below, we have
assumed that there is nothing in the law of any jurisdiction other than Luxembourg,
which would affect this opinion.
	 
	 	 	This opinion is given on the basis that it is governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of Luxembourg and will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of
Luxembourg.
	 
	6.	 	The opinion assumes:
	 
	6.1	 	the genuineness of all signatures and seals, and that persons purported to
have signed have in fact signed;
	 
	6.2	 	the completeness and conformity to the originals of all documents supplied
to us as certified, facsimile, photostatic or electronic copies or documents sent by fax or
email and the authenticity of all original documents, as well as the accuracy and
authenticity of all documents submitted to us;
	 
	6.3	 	that each of the parties to the New Pledge Agreement other than the Company
(the “Other Parties”) are duly incorporated or organised and validly existing under the laws
of their respective places of incorporation and all other applicable laws;
	 
	6.4	 	the capacity, power and authority of each of the Other Parties to enter
into, to execute and deliver and to perform their respective obligations under the New
Pledge Agreement;
	 
	6.5	 	the due execution and delivery by each of the parties of the New Pledge Agreement
;
	 
	6.6	 	that the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Other Parties
of the New Pledge Agreement is legal, valid and binding on them under the laws of their
respective places of incorporation or organisation and under all other applicable laws
(other than the laws of Luxembourg), the execution, delivery and performance by each of the
parties (including the Company) is in their best corporate interest and have been and remain
duly approved and authorised by all necessary corporate, partnership, governmental and other
action in accordance with their respective constitutive documents, the laws of their
respective places of incorporation or organisation and all other applicable laws;
	 
	6.7	 	that all obligations under the New Pledge Agreement are valid, legally
binding upon, validly perfected where required, and enforceable against, the respective
parties thereto as a matter of all relevant laws (other than the laws of Luxembourg) and
that there is no provision of the laws of any jurisdiction (other than Luxembourg) that
would have a bearing on the foregoing;

- 3 -

 

	6.8	 	that the parties entered into the New Pledge Agreement without any
intention to defraud or deprive of any legal benefit any other parties (such as third
parties and in particular creditors) or to circumvent any applicable mandatory laws or
regulations of any jurisdiction;
	 
	6.9	 	that the New Pledge Agreement has in fact been signed by the persons
authorised to sign such documents on behalf of the Company as indicated in the relevant
Company Corporate Documents;
	 
	6.10	 	that the situs of the assets over which a security is created or purported
to be created under the Pledge Agreement is Luxembourg or would be deemed to be Luxembourg
by any court for the purposes of Regulation EC 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings
(“ Regulation 1346/2000”), and in particular article 5 thereof;
	 
	6.11	 	that the Company has its centre of main interests in Luxembourg and has no
establishment outside Luxembourg, in each case as such terms are defined in Regulation
1346/2000;
	 
	6.12	 	that the security interests over assets located or deemed to be located in
Luxembourg on the basis of Luxembourg private international law or pledged pursuant to
Luxembourg law will also have been validly created and perfected under any other applicable
law, if necessary under such law;
	 
	6.13	 	that the Pledgor has valid and unencumbered title, free from any third
party rights, to the assets pledged or to be pledged under the New Pledge Agreement to which
its is a party as pledgor;
	 
	6.14	 	that the Company Board Resolution and the Company Shareholder Resolution
have been validly taken, have not been rescinded or amended and that there have been no
amendments to the Corporate Documents;
	 
	6.15	 	that the Company is in full compliance with the law dated 31 May 1999 on
the domiciliation of companies (and the relevant regulations) imposing certain requirements
on a company having established its registered office with a third party (other than a
shareholder exercising a significant influence on the conduct of the domiciliated company’s
business) providing certain administrative services to such company; and
	 
	6.16	 	that no winding-up, insolvency or other similar petition has been
presented for the parties to the New Pledge Agreement (including the Company), that these
companies are not subject to bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, moratorium, controlled
management (gestion contrôlée), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), court ordered
liquidation or reorganisation or any similar procedure affecting the rights of creditors
generally, that none of them meets or threatens to meet the criteria for the opening of any
such procedures and that the Company Court Certificate is true, correct and up-to date on
the date hereof.

- 4 -

 

	7.	 	On the above assumptions, and subject to the reservations set out below, we are of
the opinion that:
	 
	7.1	 	the Company is a company duly incorporated in Luxembourg as a
limited liability company (“société à responsabilité limitée”) with power to enter into the New
Pledge Agreement to which it is party and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations
thereunder;
	 
	7.2	 	all necessary corporate and other action has been taken to enable the
Company validly to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the New Pledge
Agreement;
	 
	7.3	 	that the security interest created pursuant to the New Pledge Agreement
over the shares in the Company located in Luxembourg has been perfected in accordance with
the relevant Luxembourg law provisions, i.e., by virtue of acceptance by the Company and an
inscription in the share register of the Company whose shares are being pledged pursuant to
the New Pledge Agreement;
	 
	7.4	 	no further acts, conditions and things are required by Luxembourg law to be
done, fulfilled and performed in order (a) to enable the Company or the Other Parties
lawfully to enter into, exercise their rights under and perform the obligations expressed to
be assumed by them in the New Pledge Agreement (to which they are party), (b) to ensure that
the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Other Parties and the Company in the New
Pledge Agreement (to which they are party) are legal, valid and binding and (c) to make the
New Pledge Agreement admissible in evidence in Luxembourg;
	 
	7.5	 	the pledge constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation of the
Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms.
	 
	7.6	 	in any proceedings taken in Luxembourg, the Company shall not be entitled
to claim for itself or any of its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other
legal process;
	 
	7.7	 	in any proceedings taken in Luxembourg for the enforcement of the New
Pledge Agreement, the choice of the governing law expressed in the New Pledge Agreement to
be Luxembourg law and the jurisdiction clause in the New Pledge Agreement in favour of the
courts of Luxembourg-City is valid and binding;
	 
	7.8	 	under Luxembourg law, it is not necessary that the New Pledge Agreement be
filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority in Luxembourg or that any
stamp, registration or similar tax be paid on or in relation to the New Pledge Agreement in
accordance therewith, except that in the case of court proceedings in a Luxembourg court, or
the presentation of the New Pledge Agreement to an “autorité constituée” in Luxembourg, such
court or “autorité constituée” may require registration of the New Pledge Agreement, in
which case the NewPledge Agreement would be subject to a fixed

- 5 -

 

	 	 	duty of 12 EUR, such duty being payable by the party being ordered to register the New
Pledge Agreement; and
	 
	7.9	 	the execution and delivery by the Company of the New Pledge Agreement and
the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, will not conflict with or
violate or breach any provisions of Luxembourg law or the Company Constitutional Deed.
	 
	8.	 	The opinion set forth above is subject to the following reservations:
	 
	8.1	 	the rights and obligations of the parties under the New Pledge Agreement
may be limited by general principles and specific provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally. In particular, during a gestion contrôlée procedure, the rights
of secured creditors are frozen until a final decision has been taken by the court as to the
petition for controlled management and may be affected thereafter by any reorganisation
order given by the competent court; declarations of default and subsequent acceleration will
not be enforceable against reorganisation or liquidation orders given by a court in these
circumstances, except insofar as any exceptions are established under Regulation 1346/2000;
	 
	8.2	 	a Luxembourg court will, subject to the provisions of Regulation 1346/2000,
recognise the effects of insolvency proceedings regularly opened over any of the parties
abroad, even without the need for any enforcement proceedings in Luxembourg, except where
measures of forced execution are required, and the Luxembourg courts will similarly
recognise the powers of a receiver or liquidator appointed by a foreign court, subject to
such foreign proceedings and laws having extra-territorial effects and having been regularly
and validly opened abroad. In particular, in accordance with article 4.2 (m) of regulation
1346/2000, Luxembourg courts may apply foreign insolvency rules relating to the voidness,
voidability or unenforceability of legal acts detrimental to all the creditors;
	 
	8.3	 	the rights and obligations of the parties under the New Pledge Agreement
may be limited by general principles of criminal law, including but not limited to criminal
freezing orders, violation of which may have an adverse impact on the New Pledge Agreement;
	 
	8.4	 	all rights and obligations arising under the New Pledge Agreement involving
(i) the government of any country which is currently the subject of United Nations, the
European Union or any other applicable sanctions (an “Affected Country”), (ii) any person or
body resident in, incorporated in or constituted under the laws of any Affected Country,
(iii) any person or body controlled by any of the foregoing, (iv) any person or body
exercising public functions in any Affected Country or (v) any person or body being itself
subject of United Nations, the European Union or any other applicable sanctions may be
subject to restrictions pursuant to such sanctions as implemented in Luxembourg law;

- 6 -

 

	8.5	 	the admissibility as evidence of the New Pledge Agreement before a
Luxembourg Court or Public Authority to which the New Pledge Agreement is produced may
require that the New Pledge Agreement be accompanied by a complete or partial translation
into French or German;
	 
	8.6	 	in the case of the enforcement of a pledge over shares in a “société à
responsabilité limitée” such as the New Pledge Agreement, it is a legal requirement, in case
of a transfer of shares to a non-shareholder, that such new shareholder (which would be
either the buyer through a public auction or the secured party through a court attribution)
to be approved by a majority of shareholders representing 3/4 of the then issued
share-capital.
While the existing shareholder has approved the Secured Party and certain other
persons determined therein in the Company Shareholder Resolution at the time of
execution of the pledge agreement, and such approval in futurum is generally
recognised to be valid and enforceable in case of later enforcement insofar as the
persons approved are identified or identifiable, it cannot be excluded that such
approval could be challenged to the extent it extends to any buyer of the shares or
even to any person not specifically named therein, which may limit the ability to
enforce the pledge by public auction;
	 
	8.7	 	a Luxembourg court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being
brought elsewhere;
	 
	8.8	 	the enforcement of the New Pledge Agreement and the rights and obligations
of the parties thereto will be subject to the general statutory principles of Luxembourg law
and in particular to the provisions of the Financial Collateral Law of 5 August 2005 (Loi du
5 août 2005 sur les contrats de garantie financière): remedies such as specific performance,
the issue of an injunction or termination for breach of contract are discretionary.
Notwithstanding any agreement purporting to confer the availability of any remedy, such
remedy may not be available where damages instead of specific performance or specific
performance instead of termination for breach of contract are considered by the court to be
an adequate alternative remedy. In particular, without however being limited to, courts may
decide that there are more adequate remedies than specific performance for violations of
clauses limiting or prohibiting in certain circumstances the exercise of voting rights;
	 
	8.9	 	we express no opinion as regards the enforceability of the security
interest created by the New Pledge Agreement if the security interest was called in an
abusive manner;
	 
	8.10	 	save in case of an attribution judiciaire, a pledge will rank after the
rights of certain creditors (liquidators’ or receivers’ fees and costs, judicial fees and
costs, employees, treasury for taxes, social security, etc.), some or all of which may be
unpublished preference rights arising by operation of law, attribution judiciaire procedures
which may have to be undertaken if this was the chosen route, involve court procedures which
will be time consuming and may take several years;

- 7 -

 

	8.11	 	claims may become barred under the statute of limitations or may be or
become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim;
	 
	8.12	 	no opinion is given on the tax consequences of the transaction;
	 
	8.13	 	no opinion is expressed or implied in relation to the accuracy of any
representation or warranty given by or concerning any of the parties to the New Pledge
Agreement or whether such parties or any of them have complied with or will comply with any
covenant or undertaking given by them or the terms and conditions of any obligations binding
upon them ; and
	 
	8.14	 	any power of attorney and mandate, as well as any other agency provisions
(including, but not limited to, powers of attorney, signing rights over bank accounts and
mandates, whether expressed to be irrevocable or not) granted and all appointments of agents
made by any Luxembourg company, explicitly or by implication, will terminate by law and
without notice upon such Luxembourg company’s bankruptcy (faillite) or judicial winding-up
(“liquidation judiciaire”), and become ineffective upon such Luxembourg company entering
controlled management and suspension of payments (gestion contrôlée et sursis de paiement)
(in both cases except in very limited circumstances).
	 
	9.	 	In this opinion, Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms
and not in their original French terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to
the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other
jurisdictions. This opinion may therefore only be relied upon under the express
condition that any issues of interpretation arising thereunder will be governed by
Luxembourg law and be brought before a Luxembourg court.
	 
	 	 	This opinion is delivered to its addressee in such capacity as attributed to it under
the New Pledge Agreement and is only for its use and the use of its legal advisers.
It is strictly limited to the matters stated herein, it only speaks as of this day
and does not extend to, and is not to be read as extending by implication to, any
other matter in connection with the New Pledge Agreement or otherwise. It may not be
relied upon by any other person, or used for any other purpose, or quoted or referred
to in any public document, or filed with any government agency or another person, nor
may its existence or contents be disclosed to any person, without, in any such case,
our prior written consent. This opinion does not contain any undertaking to update it
or to inform the addressees of any changes in the laws of Luxembourg or any other
laws that would affect the content thereof in any manner.

Yours faithfully,

1. DOCUMENTS EXAMINED

We have examined the following documents:

	 	(a)	 	a counterpart of each of the Documents executed by each Relevant Company;
	 
	 	(b)	 	a certified copy of each of:

	 	(i)	 	the Constitution of each Relevant Company;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	resolutions adopted by the board of directors of each
Relevant Company authorising the execution by it of the Documents, and
entry by it into the
transactions contemplated under the Documents to which it is a party;
and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	power of attorney issued by each Relevant Company in
relation to the execution of the Documents, to which it is a party.

The above are the only documents or records we have examined and the only searches and
enquiries we have carried out for the purposes of this opinion are specified in paragraph
2 below.

We have not investigated the laws of any country other than Australia and this opinion is
given only with respect to the laws of each Relevant Jurisdiction in effect as at the
date of this opinion.

2. SEARCHES

At 3.30pm (approximately) on 20 December 2004 we obtained a company extract
in relation to each of the Relevant Companies from the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (“ASIC”).

The above searches did not disclose the existence of any registered Lien other than those
currently existing in favour of JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.

We have not conducted any further searches since such date.

3. ASSUMPTIONS

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have assumed the following:

	 	(a)	 	the authenticity of all seals and signatures (including copies of seals
and signatures) and of any duty or registration stamp or marking;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the completeness, the due execution and the conformity to original
instruments, of all copies (including unexecuted copies) submitted to us, and that
any document (other than a Document) submitted to us continues in full force and
effect;
	 
	 	(c)	 	each Document executed by CIHL has been validly authorised by all
necessary corporate, or other action under its constituent documents for due
execution delivery and performance of its obligations under such Document;
	 
	 	(d)	 	in respect of any Document to which it is a party, such Document:

	 	(i)	 	has been validly authorised, executed and delivered
by CIHL;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	is within the capacity and powers of, each party
(other than the Relevant Companies);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	has been validly authorised by each party (other
than the Relevant Companies);
	 
	 	(iv)	 	has been validly executed and delivered by each party
(other than the Relevant Companies); and
	 
	 	(v)	 	is binding on, and enforceable against, each party
(other than in each Relevant Jurisdiction, the Relevant Companies and
CIHL),

and the performance of obligations under such Documents by each party to it
(other than, in each Relevant Jurisdiction, the Relevant Companies and CIHL)
will comply with all applicable laws;

	 	(e)	 	each of the Constitution, board resolutions and the power of attorney of
each Relevant Company referred to in paragraph 1(b) continues to be in full force
and effect;
	 
	 	(f)	 	each Relevant Company and CIHL enters each Document to which it is a
party and carries out the transactions contemplated in each such Document for the
benefit and purposes of its business. On the basis of our examination of the board
resolutions referred to in paragraph 1(b) above, we are not aware of any reason to
doubt this assumption in relation to the Relevant Companies;
	 
	 	(g)	 	insofar as any obligation under any Document is to be performed in any
jurisdiction other than a Relevant Jurisdiction, its performance will not be illegal
or unenforceable under the law of that jurisdiction and that no foreign law affects
any of the conclusions stated in this opinion;
	 
	 	(h)	 	in relation to any payment under the Documents, the Commissioner of
Taxation has not given and will not give a valid direction under any laws of the
Commonwealth of Australia requiring a Relevant Company to deduct from sums payable
by it to persons under the Documents an amount of Australian tax payable by the
payee;

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	22 December 2004

	 	(i)	 	that no party to any Document has passed a voluntary winding-up
resolution and that no application has been presented to or order made by a court
for winding-up or for appointing a liquidator or administrator of any party and that
no receiver, liquidator or administrator has been appointed in relation to or in
connection with any party. Our searches at ASIC did not disclose any filings in
respect of those matters in respect of the Relevant Companies;
	 
	 	(j)	 	that any representations and warranties given by any party as to matters
of fact contained in the Documents are true and accurate;
	 
	 	(k)	 	that the binding effect of the Documents on any party is not affected by
any matter or factual circumstance such as duress, undue influence or mistake;
	 
	 	(l)	 	that at the time of creation of each Security, no Mortgagee (as defined
therein) was on notice, actual or constructive, of any prohibition or restriction on
the creation of the Security or of any other Lien, interest, equity or other
interest in the Secured Property (as defined in the Security) or any option or
agreement to create the same;
	 
	 	(m)	 	that the existing Liens in favour of JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. referred
to in paragraph 2 will be released and the Security referred to in paragraphs (i)
and (iii) of the definition of Documents will be registered against the appropriate
Relevant Company at ASIC not later than 45 days after the date of execution of the
relevant Security and that no other Lien will be registered against such Relevant
Company before that Security has been so registered;
	 
	 	(n)	 	that any meetings of the boards of directors referred to in paragraph
1(b) above were properly convened, that all directors who attended and voted were
entitled so to do, that the resolutions were properly passed, that the directors
have properly performed their duties and all provisions relating to the declaration
of the interests of directors or the power of interested directors to vote were duly
observed and that the resolutions have not been amended, modified or rescinded and
remain in full force and effect and that each director has complied with its duties
and obligations under any law or document or agreement;
	 
	 	(o)	 	that each person who deals with a Relevant Company by being, or becoming,
a party to the Documents (or any of them) and engaging in the transactions given
effect to by or under the Documents is entitled to make the assumptions set out in
Section 129 of the Corporations Act, including that:

	 	(i)	 	at all relevant times, such Relevant Company’s
constitution and any provisions of the Corporations Act that apply as
replaceable rules, have been complied with;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	that a person who appears from information provided
by such Relevant Company that is available to the public from ASIC to be a
director or a company secretary of such Relevant Company has been duly
appointed and has authority to exercise the powers and perform the duties
customarily exercised or performed by a director or company secretary of a
similar company;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	that a Document or Power has been duly executed by
such Relevant Company if either:

	 	A.	 	both:

	 	Melbourne

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	22 December 2004

	 	1)	 	that
company’s common seal appears to have been fixed to
the document; and
	 
	 	2)	 	the fixing
of the common seal appears to have been witnessed by
two persons, being persons one of whom may be assumed
by virtue of paragraph (ii) to be a director of that
company, and the other of whom may be assumed by
virtue of paragraph (ii) to be a director or
secretary of that company; or

	 	B.	 	the document appears to have been
signed by 2 directors of that company or a director and a
secretary of that company; and

	 	(iv)	 	that the officers and agents of such Relevant Company
properly perform their duties to that company.

Under section 128 of the Corporations Act, a person dealing with a Relevant
Company is entitled to make the assumptions set out above, unless that person
knew or suspected that any such assumption is incorrect. The searches referred
to in paragraph 2 do not give us any reason to suspect that any of the above
assumptions are incorrect;

	 	(p)	 	that no Relevant Company has breached section 208, section 209 or
sections 260A-D of the Corporations Act by entering into any Document to which it is
a party; and
	 
	 	(q)	 	the Documents have been executed by all parties in the United States, New
South Wales, South Australia or the Australian Capital Territory.

4. QUALIFICATIONS

Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

	 	(a)	 	we express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of each Relevant
Jurisdiction as in force at the date of this opinion or as to any present or future
party to the Documents except as expressly stated herein;
	 
	 	(b)	 	we express no opinion as to matters of fact;
	 
	 	(c)	 	our opinion that an obligation or document is enforceable does not mean
that the obligation or document can necessarily be enforced in courts of a Relevant
Jurisdiction in accordance with its terms in all circumstances. In particular:

	 	(i)	 	equitable remedies, such as injunction and specific
performance, are discretionary subject to equitable defences and are not
available where damages are considered an adequate remedy;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the enforceability of an obligation or document may
be affected by statutes of limitation, waiver and similar principles, by
the doctrine of frustration, by laws concerning insolvency, bankruptcy,
liquidation, administration, enforcement of security interests or
reorganisation, or by other laws generally affecting creditors or
counterparties’ rights or duties;

	 	(d)	 	the enforcement of a Document may be:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	22 December 2004

	 	(i)	 	limited by estoppel and similar principles, and by
statutory prohibition of misleading, deceptive or unconscionable conduct;
and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to defences of set-off, abatement or
counterclaim,

in each case arising from representations, acts, omissions or liabilities of a
Mortgagee;

	 	(e)	 	we have relied on searches of the public records on file at ASIC as
mentioned in paragraph 2 above. We note that records disclosed by those searches may
not be complete or up to date;
	 
	 	(f)	 	an Australian court may stay any proceedings commenced therein against a
party if there are other proceedings arising out of the same cause of action
simultaneously on foot against that party in another jurisdiction;
	 
	 	(g)	 	an Australian court may in any enforcement proceedings make an order for
costs against a party or may not permit a party to recover its costs in full, if
that party has acted unreasonably or oppressively, even if the party is successful
in the proceedings;
	 
	 	(h)	 	stipulations that illegal provisions are severable from a document or
that obligations are enforceable notwithstanding illegality may not be enforceable
in accordance with their terms, as an Australian court may reserve any decision on
severability to itself or direct that public policy should override any purported
exculpation of illegality;
	 
	 	(i)	 	any obligation of a party under a Document to pay interest on overdue
amounts at a rate higher than the rate applying before the amount fell due may be
held to constitute a penalty and be unenforceable;
	 
	 	(j)	 	we express no opinion on any provision in the Documents requiring written
amendments and waivers, insofar as it suggests that oral or other modifications,
amendments or waivers could not be effectively agreed upon or granted between or by
the relevant parties;
	 
	 	(k)	 	any provision in any Document providing that any entry, calculation or
certification is to be conclusive and binding will not be effective if such entry,
calculation or certification is fraudulent and will not necessarily prevent judicial
enquiry into the merits of any claim by any party thereto;
	 
	 	(l)	 	where any party to the Documents is vested with a discretion or may
determine a matter in its opinion, Australian law may require that such discretion
be exercised reasonably and that such opinion be based on reasonable grounds;
	 
	 	(m)	 	we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any obligation to
negotiate in good faith;
	 
	 	(n)	 	a document may not be admissible in court proceedings unless applicable
stamp duty has been paid;
	 
	 	(o)	 	in certain circumstances, certain other claims may have or obtain
priority (either in whole or in part) over the claims secured by the Securities, for
example:

	 	(i)	 	the claims of chargees, mortgagees and persons having
the benefit of other Liens or interests of which the persons having the
benefit of the

Securities had actual or constructive notice or knowledge at the time
of execution of the Securities;

	 	(ii)	 	claims for the costs of administration, liquidation
and realisation;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	certain claims mandatorily preferred by law;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	certain claims arising by operation of law or
specifically charged by statute (including without limitation, local
government rates and land tax);
	 
	 	(v)	 	in relation to any floating charge, certain claims in
relation to unpaid audit fees, unpaid wages, accrued holiday pay and long
service leave and compensation for injuries;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	claims secured by Liens existing on an asset or
granted at the time of its acquisition;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	claims secured by Liens on property registered under
specific legislation relating to title to, or security over, that
property;
	 
	 	(viii)	 	claims secured by Liens over certain types of property which are not
registrable under the Corporations Act;
	 
	 	(ix)	 	where the amount secured by the Securities exceeds
the stated priority amount for the purposes of the applicable Corporations
Act, claims secured by any subsequent Liens but only to the extent of the
excess; and
	 
	 	(x)	 	in some circumstances, claims secured by a subsequent
Lien when advances have been made by the first lender after notice of the
subsequent Lien;
	 
	 	(xi)	 	the claims of chargees, mortgagees and persons having
the benefit of other Liens or interests where such Lien or interest is
created by a legal mortgage over the Secured Property and such chargee,
mortgagee or person did not have notice of the relevant Security;
	 
	 	(xii)	 	in respect of the Security listed in paragraph
(e)(ii) of the definition of Document, the claims of chargees, mortgagees
and persons having the
benefit of other Liens or interests which were created prior to the
Securities; and
	 
	 	(xiii)	 	the claims of chargees, mortgagees and persons having the benefit of any
subsequent Lien or interest to which the Security Agent concedes priority
(by act or omission),

but in this regard the position of the Mortgagees are no different from that of
any person taking similar security in Australia.

	 	(p)	 	no opinion is given as to whether a charge created by any of the
Securities would be held to operate as a fixed charge or a floating charge over any
particular Secured Property;
	 
	 	(q)	 	we express no opinion as to the title of any party to the Documents to
any of the Secured Property;

	 	(r)	 	the ability to take control of or to dispose of the Secured Property
pursuant to the Securities may be affected by the nature of the asset, for example:

	 	(i)	 	a share in a company may not be transferable except
in accordance with the constitution of that company or if the company is
in liquidation; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the assignment of contractual rights may be
restricted by contract or may give rise to rights of termination for the
counterparty;

	 	(s)	 	the courts might not give full effect to an indemnity for legal costs or
for penalties or Taxes;
	 
	 	(t)	 	a judgement by a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction may be given in some
cases only in Australian dollars. In all relevant cases, the court would have a
discretion to give a judgement in United States dollars or another foreign currency;
	 
	 	(u)	 	purported waivers of statutory rights, agreements not to sue or
agreements to agree or negotiate or consult may not be enforceable;
	 
	 	(v)	 	provisions in the Securities stating that the mortgagee, an attorney or a
receiver will have no liability, or that any person dealing with them will not be
affected by any irregularity or defect, may not be effective in all circumstances;
and
	 
	 	(w)	 	we express no opinion as to any Lien as security over property situated
outside any Relevant Jurisdiction.

5. OPINION

Based on the assumptions and subject to the qualifications set out above, we are of the
following opinion:

	 	(a)	 	each Relevant Company is duly incorporated as a company limited by shares
and validly subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, has all
requisite power to carry on its business and own its property and is capable of
suing and being sued in its corporate name;
	 
	 	(b)	 	each Relevant Company has the corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and the Power executed by it and to
perform its obligations under those Documents;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Documents to which each Relevant Company is a party and the Powers
executed by them have been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action on
their part and have been duly executed and delivered;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the execution and delivery of the Documents to which each Relevant
Company is a party and the Powers to which they are a party and the performance by
any Relevant Company of its obligations under any Document to which it is a party
did not and will not require any Consent or approval of or registration or filing
with any Governmental Authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction (except as provided in

United States of America

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

     Background

	1	 	We have acted as New Zealand legal advisors to Nobilo Holdings in
connection with:

	 	1.1	 	a deed of amendment and restatement of a security agreement relating to
Shares in Nobilo Wine Group Limited dated 22 December 2004 granted by Nobilo
Holdings in favour of JP Morgan Chase Bank as administrative agent (“Security
Agreement”); and
	 
	 	1.2	 	a pledge agreement between Constellation Brands, Inc., certain
subsidiary guarantors, certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank as
administrative agent (“Pledge Agreement”)

	 	 	(together the Documents).

	2	 	In this opinion:

	 	2.1	 	the “Company” means Nobilo Holdings.

 

 

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	2.2	 	“Credit Agreement” means a credit agreement between
	 
	 	 	 	Constellation Brands, Inc. as borrower, certain subsidiary guarantors,
certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the
Administrative Agent), Citicorp North America, Inc as syndication agent
J.P.Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint
lead arranger and bookrunner and the Bank of Nova Scotia as documentation
agent.
	 
	 	2.3	 	In this opinion, the expressions “financing statement”, “personal property”
and “security interest” have the meanings given to them in the Personal
Property Securities Act 1999 (the PPSA).
	 
	 	2.4	 	Words and expressions defined or construed in the Credit Agreement (unless
otherwise defined or construed in this opinion) have the same meanings and
constructions where used in this opinion.

	3	 	This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to section 5.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Enquiries and Searches
	 
	4	 	We have examined:

	 	4.1	 	A copy of each of the Documents as executed by the Company.
	 
	 	4.2	 	For the Company:

	 	(a)	 	an on-line search of its public records on the register of
companies maintained by the New Zealand Registrar of Companies
(the New Zealand Register) on 30 May 2006;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the records of a search of the miscellaneous register at the High
Court in Auckland (the High Court Register) (this being the office of
the High Court at which a statement of claim for the liquidation of
the Company would be required to be filed under the High Court Rules)
for details of any liquidation proceedings, on 30 May 2006;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a certificate from one of its directors dated 5 June 2006; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	a search of the New Zealand Personal Property Securities
Register on 30 May 2006.

	 	 	Assumptions
	 
	5	 	For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed:

	 	5.1	 	copy documents examined by us conform to the originals, and all
documents examined by us are authentic and complete;
	 
	 	5.2	 	all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine;
	 
	 	5.3	 	all statements of fact made in each director’s certificate referred to
above is and remains true, complete and accurate in all respects;
	 
	 	5.4	 	in the case of the Company:

	 	(a)	 	in determining that it enter into the transactions contemplated by
the Documents, its directors have acted for a proper purpose; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	its entry into the transactions contemplated by the Documents is in
its best interests and in the best interests of its holding company;
	 
	 	(c)	 	it is duly constituted and validly exists as a separate legal entity
with the capacity, power and authority to enter into, and to exercise its
rights and to perform its obligations under, the Documents;
	 
	 	(d)	 	it has duly executed the Documents to which it is party, after the
taking of all necessary corporate and other action; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	all acts, conditions or things required to be fulfilled, performed
or effected under any law (other than New Zealand law) in connection
with the Documents or in order to ensure the validity, effectiveness,
performance or enforceability of the Documents have been duly fulfilled,
performed and effected;

	 	5.5	 	no receiver or liquidator has been appointed to the Company, and the
Company has not been made subject to statutory management (and these
assumptions are not contradicted by our search of the New Zealand Register
and High Court Register);
	 
	 	5.6	 	there is nothing under any law (other than New Zealand law) which affects
the opinions expressed below;

3

 

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	5.7	 	if it is necessary, in order to ensure the validity,
effectiveness, performance or enforceability of Documents, that:

	 	(a)	 	any of the Documents or details of them be filed or registered in
any jurisdiction outside New Zealand; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other instrument relating to them be executed, delivered, filed
or registered in any jurisdiction outside New Zealand,

	 	 	 	such has been or will be duly completed;
	 
	 	5.8	 	that to the extent that any stamp duty or similar tax on the Documents
is payable in any jurisdiction other than New Zealand, such has been or will
be duly paid;

	6	 	We have not taken steps to verify these assumptions except for our search of
the New Zealand Register and High Court Register in respect of the assumption in
paragraph 5.6. We note however that, pursuant to Section 18(1) of the Companies
Act 1993, the Company may not assert against you that the Companies Act 1993 or
its constitution has not been complied with unless you know otherwise, or ought
to do so because of your relationship with it.
	 
	7	 	The director’s certificate referred to above set out the determination of the
board of directors of the Company as to the assumption in paragraph 5.4(b).
	 
	 	 	Opinion
	 
	8	 	Based on and subject to the enquiries and assumptions set out above, and
subject to the qualifications and reservations set out below, we are of the
opinion that:

	 	8.1	 	the Company is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993;
	 
	 	8.2	 	the Company has:

	 	(a)	 	the corporate power to enter into and to perform its
obligations under the Documents to which it is party; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	taken all necessary corporate action to authorise the execution of
those Documents and the performance by it of its obligations under those
Documents;

4

 

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	8.3	 	the Company has duly executed the Documents;
	 
	 	8.4	 	the obligations of the Company under the Security Agreement are valid,
binding and enforceable;
	 
	 	8.5	 	to the extent that New Zealand law governs the validity of the security
interest under the Security Agreement (the NZ Securities), the NZ Securities
validly create a security interest in favour of the Administrative Agent in
respect of the particular collateral described in the NZ Securities when (and
not before):

	 	(a)	 	value is given by the Administrative Agent (within the meaning of
section 40(1)(a) of the PPSA); and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the relevant Company has rights in that collateral (within the
meaning of section 40(1)(a) of the PPSA);

	 	8.6	 	the execution by the Company of, and the exercise of its rights and
performance of its obligations under, the Documents does not:

	 	(a)	 	conflict with its constitution; nor
	 
	 	(b)	 	conflict with any New Zealand law;

	 	8.7	 	no consent, licence, approval or authorisation of or with any New
Zealand court or New Zealand governmental agency is required:

	 	(a)	 	in connection with the execution of the Documents by any of the
Company; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	to ensure the enforceability of obligations under the
Documents;

	 	8.8	 	New Zealand law does not require:

	 	(a)	 	that any of the Documents be filed, recorded or registered with
any New Zealand court or New Zealand governmental agency; nor
	 
	 	(b)	 	that any stamp or similar tax be paid on any of the
Documents,

	 	 	 	to ensure the enforceability of obligations under the Documents as
against the Company (provided that in order to perfect its security

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	 	 	interest under the NZ Securities in respect of the collateral
subject to it, the Administrative Agent should register a financing
statement (and maintain that registration) in respect of that collateral
in compliance with the PPSA and maintain physical possession of the
share certificates;
	 
	 	8.9	 	the irrevocable submission of the Company under the Pledge Agreement to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York and any appellate court from any thereof is
valid and binding on it.

	 	 	Qualifications
	 
	9	 	This opinion is given subject to the following qualifications:

	 	9.1	 	our opinion on the enforceability of obligations under the Security
Agreement means that the obligations are of a type which a New Zealand court
enforces or recognises. It does not mean that each obligation will
necessarily be enforceable in accordance with all its terms and in all
circumstances. For example:

	 	(a)	 	enforcement of the Security Agreement may be limited by general
principles of equity and the discretionary powers of the courts;
	 
	 	(b)	 	a New Zealand court may not give effect to provisions of the
Security Agreement if to do so would conflict with public policy. We do
not, however, believe that any provisions of the Security Agreement would be held to be contrary to public
policy in New Zealand;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a New Zealand court may not give effect to an indemnity for legal
costs, as the New Zealand courts reserve a wide discretion in the
making of an order for costs;
	 
	 	(d)	 	an obligation to pay default interest may not be enforceable if the
amount is held to constitute a penalty and not a genuine and reasonable
pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered in the relevant
circumstances;
	 
	 	(e)	 	a New Zealand court may not enforce a provision of the Security
Agreement which may be or become illegal under the laws of another
jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	 	 	which is contrary to the exchange control regulations
of another jurisdiction;

	 	9.2	 	the obligations of each Company may be subject to limitation of action by
the effluxion of time or defences of set off or counterclaim;
	 
	 	9.3	 	the obligations of the Company are subject to all insolvency, moratorium,
reorganisation or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (and in
particular statutory management). For example, a transaction entered into by a
company which is not solvent at the time may be set aside:

	 	(a)	 	under section 292 of the Companies Act 1993, if it has a
preferential effect and was entered into within the period which
begins 2 years before the commencement of the liquidation (unless
it took place in the ordinary course of business);
	 
	 	(b)	 	under section 293 of the Companies Act 1993, if it constitutes the
giving of a charge and was entered into within the period which begins
one year before the commencement of the liquidation (except to the
extent of valuable consideration given at or after the granting of the
charge);

	 	9.4	 	under section 297 of the Companies Act 1993, the liquidator of a
company may recover any excess benefit provided by a company under a
transaction entered into at an undervalue and within the period which
begins one year before the commencement of the liquidation (unless certain
solvency tests are satisfied);
	 
	 	9.5	 	a New Zealand court may not give effect to provisions of the Security
Agreement relating to severability (as it may reserve to itself the decision as
to whether any provision is severable);
	 
	 	9.6	 	a New Zealand court may not give effect to provisions of the Security
Agreement limiting, restricting or otherwise relating to amendments or waivers
if it determines the intentions of the parties to be contrary in any case;
	 
	 	9.7	 	a determination, calculation or certificate as to any matter provided for
in the Security Agreement might be held by a New Zealand court not to be
conclusive and binding if the matter could be shown to have been determined,
calculated or certified on an unreasonable or arbitrary basis.

7

 

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	9.8	 	discretions may be required to be exercised reasonably, and opinions
based on reasonable grounds.
	 
	 	9.9	 	a provision in the Security Agreement that any amount is payable on demand
may be construed as requiring reasonable notice;
	 
	 	9.10	 	we express no opinion on the enforceability of a currency indemnity
clause, to the extent that it is expressed to apply in insolvency, bankruptcy
and liquidation.
	 
	 	9.11	 	a New Zealand court can give a judgment in a currency other than New
Zealand dollars if, in accordance with the relevant contract, that currency is
the one which most fairly expresses the plaintiff’s loss; procedurally, the
enforcement of a judgment by registering it under the Reciprocal Enforcement of
Judgements Act 1934 requires it to be registered (at the option of the judgment
creditor) either in the currency in which the judgment is expressed or in New
Zealand dollars converted at the rate applicable at the date when applying for
registration;
	 
	 	9.12	 	proceedings brought before a New Zealand court may be stayed if:

	 	(a)	 	the subject matter of the proceedings has previously been
considered by or is concurrently before another court in another
jurisdiction; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	another forum, having competent jurisdiction, is the more
appropriate forum for those proceedings;

	 	9.13	 	our search of the New Zealand Register and the High Court Register is not
conclusively capable of disclosing whether or not:

	 	(a)	 	an application to liquidate a company has been made; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	a resolution for liquidation has been passed or a receiver or
liquidator has been appointed; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	a company has been made subject to statutory management.

	 	 	 	For example, notice of these matters may not be filed immediately or,
even if filed, may not be available for immediate inspection; and it is
possible that a statement of claim for the liquidation of a company
would be accepted by a High Court registrar other than at Auckland.

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	9.14	 	insofar as the Security Agreement constitutes a Credit Contract within
the meaning of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, it may not
be enforceable in accordance with its terms to the extent that a New Zealand
court holds such terms, or the exercise by a party of any of its rights and
powers thereunder, to be oppressive or to the extent that a Company has been
induced to enter into the transactions by oppressive means. In this context the
expression “oppressive” is defined by the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance
Act 2003 as meaning oppressive, harsh, unjustly burdensome, unconscionable or
in contravention of reasonable standards of commercial practice. We are of the
view that a New
Zealand court is unlikely to hold that any provision of the Security
Agreement is oppressive;
	 
	 	9.15	 	recognition, acceptance and enforcement by a New Zealand court of a
judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof against the Company in an
action arising out of the Security Agreement, without any re-trial or
re-examination of the merits of the action, would depend upon:

	 	(a)	 	the relevant court having jurisdiction in accordance with the
rules of private international law applied in New Zealand;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the judgment of the relevant court being:

	 
	 	(i)	 	final and conclusive;

	 
	 	(ii)	 	for a debt or a sum of
money;

	 
	 	(iii)	 	not in respect of taxes or penalties;

	 	(iv)	 	not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural
justice; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	not repugnant to public policy as then recognised in New
Zealand; and

	 	(c)	 	service of process in relation to the proceedings in that court
having being properly effected in accordance with New Zealand law;

	 	9.16	 	if the parties have agreed to any postponement of the time at which
the security interest under the NZ Securities attaches, then the creation of
the security interest will be postponed until that time;
	 
	 	9.17	 	we express no opinion as to:

	 	(a)	 	the title of the Company to any property in respect of which a
security interest is expressed to be created; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	whether any security interest in respect of personal property has
been perfected; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	whether a security interest has priority over any other security
interest or other interest in the property (and in particular we note
that if another person:

	 	(i)	 	acquires an interest in the Nobilo Wine Group Limited
Shares for value and without notice of the NZ
Securities; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	takes possession of the certificates for the Nobilo Wine
Group Limited Shares,

	 	 	 	the interest of that other person will take priority over the
interest of the Administrative Agent under the NZ Securities);
or
	 
	 	(d)	 	the validity of a security interest in respect of personal
property which is not identifiable or traceable;

	 	9.18	 	we express no opinion as to whether or not the laws of any other
jurisdiction may operate to affect the validity or effectiveness of any
security interest;
	 
	 	9.19	 	we express no opinion as to any provision of a document which purports to
relieve a secured party of liability for, or protect a secured party from, any
misconduct or negligence (on its part, or on the part of a receiver appointed
by it);
	 
	 	9.20	 	we express no opinion as to any licences, permits or approvals that may be
required in connection with the enforcement of a security interest (whether
such enforcement involves operating a business, or disposing of property);

10

 

Chapman Tripp

NOBILO HOLDINGS — SECURITY AGREEMENT RELATING TO SHARES

	 	9.21	 	the PPSA:

	 	(a)	 	imposes certain obligations on secured creditors which cannot be
varied by contract (including the obligation to exercise or discharge
all rights, duties or obligations in good faith and in accordance with
reasonable standards of commercial practice and the obligation on
exercising a power of sale to obtain the best price reasonably
obtainable); and
	 
	 	(b)	 	may also affect the enforcement of certain rights and remedies
contained in a security interest to the extent that those rights and
remedies are inconsistent with or contrary to certain provisions of the
PPSA;

	 	9.22	 	the conduct of a receivership is subject to the Receiverships Act
1993. For example, a receiver:

	 	(a)	 	must exercise powers in good faith for a proper purpose; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	owes a duty to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable at the
time of sale (and is not entitled to indemnity from the charged
property or the grantor for liability arising from a breach of this
duty).

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent

170 Park Avenue 

 New York, NY 10017

- and -

The Lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below) from time to time

Dear Sirs:

			
	Re:	 	Credit Arrangements by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent in favour of
Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Borrower”)

We have acted as Nova Scotia counsel for 3112751 Nova Scotia Company (“ULC”), CB Nova Scotia ULC
(“GP ULC”, and collectively with ULC, the “Nova Scotia Companies”), the general partner of
Constellation Canada Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and Constellation Americas Holdings
Limited (“Newco (US)”) (ULC, GP ULC and Newco (US) being individually, an “Opinion Obligor” and
collectively, the “Opinion Obligors”) in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery
of the Transaction Documents (as defined below).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or photostatic copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:

	 	(a)	 	a credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 5,
2006 among the Borrower, the subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto, as subsidiary
guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative
Agent”), and the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”);
	 
	 	(b)	 	a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) (including a limited recourse guarantee)
dated as of June 5, 2006 between ULC and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which ULC
shall pledge its interests in the Partnership to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders;

 

 

	 	(c)	 	a Pledge Agreement (the “U.S. Pledge”) dated as of June 5, 2006 among the Borrower, the
Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein including ULC) and the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to which, inter alia, ULC shall pledge its interests in the Partnership to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	unit transfer power in blank (the “Unit Power”) relating to the transfer of
65 Class B Units of the Partnership signed by ULC.

The Credit Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the U.S. Pledge and the Unit Power are hereinafter from
time to time collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents” and individually as a
“Transaction Document”. The Pledge Agreement and the U.S. Pledge are hereinafter from time to time
collectively referred to as the “Security Documents” and individually as a “Security Document”. The
Credit Agreement, the U.S. Pledge and Unit Power are hereinafter from time to time collectively
referred to as the “Foreign Governed Documents”.

We have also reviewed and are relying upon each of the following in rendering our opinions herein:

	 	(a)	 	verification statement in respect of a financing statement (the “Financing Statement”)
registered in the Nova Scotia Personal Property Registry (the “PPR”) pursuant to the
provisions of the Personal Property Security Act (Nova Scotia) (the “PPSA”) against ULC in
favour of the Administrative Agent, particulars of which are described on Schedule “A”
attached hereto;
	 
	 	(b)	 	certificates of status (the “Certificates of Status”) pertaining to each of the Nova
Scotia Companies issued on behalf of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies for the
Province of Nova Scotia, dated May 31, 2006 (copies of which are being delivered
concurrently herewith);
	 
	 	(c)	 	the memorandum of association, articles of association, records of corporate
proceedings, written resolutions and registers of each of the Nova Scotia Companies
contained in the minute book of each of the Nova Scotia Companies;
	 
	 	(d)	 	resolutions of the directors of each of the Nova Scotia Companies dated May l,
2006 (collectively, the “Resolutions”) authorizing the execution and delivery by the Nova
Scotia Companies of the Transaction Documents to which they respectively are parties; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	a certificate of the secretary of each of the Nova Scotia Companies (the “Officer’s
Certificates”) dated the date hereof relating to each of the Nova Scotia Companies and,
inter alia, matters of corporate status, incumbency of officers and directors and corporate
power and authority and attaching copies of the Resolutions and the memorandum of association and articles of association referred to above
(copies of which are being delivered concurrently herewith);

together with such other corporate and public records and have made such other investigations,
searches and inquiries and have researched such matters of law as we have considered necessary or
appropriate to provide the opinions hereinafter expressed.

- 2 -

 

The opinions expressed herein are restricted to the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Without limiting the generality of the immediately
preceding sentence, we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction to the
extent that those laws may govern the validity, perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection
or enforcement of the security interests created by the Security Documents as a result of the
application of Nova Scotia conflict of laws rules, including without limitation, sections 6 to 9 of
the PPSA. In addition, we express no opinion whether, pursuant to those conflict of laws rules,
Nova Scotia laws would govern the validity, perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection or
enforcement of those security interests.

We have assumed:

	 	(a)	 	the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as
photostatic, telecopied, certified or notarial copies;
	 
	 	(b)	 	that the Administrative Agent has been incorporated or formed, as the case may be, and
exists, in good standing, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
formation;
	 
	 	(c)	 	that each of the parties to each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Nova
Scotia Companies) have duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Transaction
Documents to which each is a party;
	 
	 	(d)	 	that each of the Transaction Documents, other than the Pledge Agreement, constitute
legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties which are a party to such Transaction
Documents enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the currency and accuracy of (i) any printed search result from the PPR, and (ii) the
indices and records maintained at the public offices where we have conducted searches or
made inquiries or caused searches or inquiries to be made;
	 
	 	(f)	 	that (i) value has been given by the Administrative Agent or by the Lenders for whom
the Administrative Agent acts, and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders has
agreed in writing with ULC to postpone the time for attachment of the security interests
created by the Security Documents;
	 
	 	(g)	 	that ULC has physically delivered to the other parties thereto, or their respective
agents, all of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and such Transaction
Documents have been properly delivered under all relevant laws other than those of the
Province of Nova Scotia and are not delivered subject to any condition or escrow which has
not been satisfied; and
	 
	 	(h)	 	for the purposes of our opinions in sections 12, 15 and 17 below, the correctness of
the (i) description of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents) (collectively,
the “Collateral”) contained in the Security Documents; and (ii) the name and address of the
Administrative Agent set forth in the Security Documents or otherwise used in the
registration of the Financing Statement.

- 3 -

 

To the extent that the opinions expressed in this opinion letter are based on factual matters,
including the address of ULC, we have relied solely on the Officer’s Certificates.

Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our
knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our
representation of the Opinion Obligors for the purpose of providing this opinion. Based and relying
upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the
opinion that:

	1.	 	ULC is an unlimited company incorporated and subsisting under the laws of the Province of
Nova Scotia.
	 
	2.	 	GP ULC is an unlimited company incorporated and subsisting under the laws of the Province of
Nova Scotia.
	 
	3.	 	Each of the Nova Scotia Companies has all necessary corporate power and capacity to enter
into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, and to own or lease its
property and to carry on its business as described in the Officer’s Certificates by it in each
jurisdiction where such business is described in the Officer’s Certificates.
	 
	4.	 	GP ULC has all necessary corporate power and capacity to act as the sole general partner of
the Partnership.
	 
	5.	 	All necessary action has been taken by ULC to authorize the entering into, execution,
delivery of and the performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.
	 
	6.	 	GP ULC, as sole general partner of the Partnership, has taken all necessary corporate action
(if any) to authorize the transfer by way of pledge and security interest of the units of the
Partnership to the Administrative Agent contemplated by the Pledge Agreement and the U.S.
Pledge and any transfer of such units by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
enforcement of the Pledge Agreement or the U.S. Pledge by the Administrative Agent.
	 
	7.	 	ULC, as sole limited partner of the Partnership, has taken all necessary corporate action (if
any) to authorize the transfer by way of the pledge and security interest of the units of the
Partnership to the Administrative Agent contemplated by the Pledge Agreement and the U.S.
Pledge and any transfer of such units by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
enforcement of the Pledge Agreement or the U.S. Pledge by the Administrative Agent.
	 
	8.	 	ULC has duly executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
	 
	9.	 	The Pledge Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of ULC, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms.

- 4 -

 

	10.	 	The authorization, issuance, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which ULC
is a party, the terms or conditions thereof and the performance by ULC of its obligations
thereunder do not and will not conflict with, contravene or constitute a breach of: (i) any
applicable laws of the Province of Nova Scotia or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein; or
(ii) any term, condition or provision of the articles of association or memorandum of association
of ULC (which are the only constating documents of ULC) or any resolution of the directors or
shareholders in the minute books of ULC.
	 
	11.	 	No authorization, consent, permit or approval of, or other action by, or filing with, or notice
to, any federal or provincial governmental agency or authority, regulatory body, court, tribunal or
other similar entity having jurisdiction in the Province of Nova Scotia over ULC is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by ULC.
	 
	12.	 	Registration has been made in all public offices provided under the laws of the Province of
Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada where such registration is necessary or desirable to
preserve, protect or perfect the security interests created by ULC under each of the Security
Documents in favour of the Administrative Agent in the personal property described therein, the
particulars of which are set forth in the Financing Statement.
	 
	13.	 	The validity, perfection and effect of perfection or non-perfection of a possessory security
interest in a security or instrument under the PPSA, as a result of the application of Nova Scotia
conflict of laws rules including, without limitation, sections 6 and 9 of the PPSA, is governed by
the law of the jurisdiction where such collateral is situated (as such term is used in the PPSA) at
the time the security interest attaches.
	 
	14.	 	The validity, perfection and effect of perfection or non-perfection of a non-possessory
security interest in a security or instrument under the PPSA, as a result of the application of
Nova Scotia conflict of laws rules including, without limitation, sections 7 and 9 of the PPSA, is
governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the grantor of such interest is located (as such term
is used in the PPSA) at the time the security interest attaches.
	 
	15.	 	Our searches in Nova Scotia against each of the Opinion Obligors pursuant to the PPSA
in the PPR, the Bank Act (Canada) at the Halifax agency of the Bank of Canada and Industry
Canada pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) as of the dates and in the
locations referred to in Schedule “A” attached hereto indicated only those registrations
referred to in Schedule “A” attached hereto.
	 
	16.	 	Neither of the Nova Scotia Companies has any former or predecessor names recognized by the
applicable corporate authorities of the Province of Nova Scotia.
	 
	17.	 	Each of the Security Documents creates a valid security interest in favour of the
Administrative Agent in the personal property described therein in which ULC now has
rights, and is sufficient to create a valid security interest in favour of the Administrative Agent
in any personal property in which ULC hereafter acquires rights when those rights are acquired in
each case to secure payment and performance of the obligations of ULC, as applicable, described
therein as being secured thereby.

- 5 -

 

	18.	 	No stamp or other issuance, documentary, registration, transfer or other similar tax or duty
imposed by any government department or other taxing authority of or in the Province of Nova Scotia
is payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents other than
PPR filing fees which have been paid.
	 
	19.	 	The selection of the laws of the State of New York (the “Foreign Law”) as the governing law of
the Foreign Law Documents, would be recognized and given effect in the courts of the Province of
Nova Scotia in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to such documents brought in
such courts provided that:

	 	(a)	 	proof of such Foreign Law is made to such court as a question of fact by a duly
qualified expert;
	 
	 	(b)	 	such choice of law is bona fide (in the sense it was not made with a view to avoid the
consequences of laws of any other jurisdiction); and
	 
	 	(c)	 	such choice of law is not contrary to public policy, as that term is applied by the
courts of the Province of Nova Scotia (“Public Policy”). Based solely upon our review of
the Foreign Law Documents and of authority we would consider binding or authoritative in
the Province of Nova Scotia but without having any knowledge of the Foreign Law and without
expressing any views on the circumstances in which it was chosen, we have no reason to
believe that the choice of the Foreign Law in this context is contrary to Public Policy.

	20.	 	If a Foreign Law Document is sought to be enforced in the Province of Nova Scotia in accordance
with the Foreign Law, a court in the Province of Nova Scotia would recognize such Foreign Law as it
relates to matters governed by such Foreign Law and, upon appropriate evidence as to such Foreign
Law being specifically pleaded and proved, apply such Foreign Law, subject to the following
qualifications:

	 	(a)	 	the qualifications in the preceding paragraph regarding the validity of the choice of
such Foreign Law as the governing law;
	 
	 	(b)	 	a court in the Province of Nova Scotia would not enforce provisions of the Foreign
Governed Documents or the applicable provisions of the laws of the jurisdictions chosen by
the parties and stated in such Foreign Governed Documents which such a court would
characterize as procedural, penal, revenue, or expropriatory in nature or as contrary to
Public Policy and no opinion is expressed as to whether specific remedies available under
such laws would be available from a Nova Scotia court;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a court in the Province of Nova Scotia has an inherent power to decline to hear such an
action if it is contrary to Public Policy for it to do so, or if it is not the convenient
forum to hear such action, or if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	a court in the Province of Nova Scotia may not enforce an obligation enforceable under
such laws where performance of the obligation would be illegal under the law of the
Province of Nova Scotia.

- 6 -

 

	21.	 	The laws of the Province of Nova Scotia permit an action to be brought in a court in the
Province of Nova Scotia on a final and conclusive judgment in personam of a court of the State of
New York, which is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of such foreign
jurisdiction, for a sum certain without re-examination of the merits of the foreign action if:

	 	(a)	 	the court rendering that judgment has jurisdiction over the judgment debtor, as
recognized by the courts of the Province of Nova Scotia;
	 
	 	(b)	 	that judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice and
the enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with Public Policy and is not contrary to
any order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial
Measures Act (Canada) or the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada), which
legislation provides such persons authority, in certain circumstances, to prevent or limit
the enforcement of judgments which would adversely affect competition or trade and commerce
in Canada or are as otherwise described in such legislation;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the enforcement of that judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the
enforcement of foreign revenue, expropriatory or penal laws;
	 
	 	(d)	 	there has been compliance with the applicable limitation period;
	 
	 	(e)	 	there are no proceedings pending in the Province of Nova Scotia or no judgment rendered
in such Province or in another province or country meeting the necessary conditions for
recognition in the Province of Nova Scotia between the same parties, based on the same
facts and having the same object;
	 
	 	(f)	 	if the foreign judgment was rendered by default, the plaintiff must prove that the act
of procedure initiating the proceedings was duly served on the defendant in accordance with
law of the place where the decision was rendered and a Nova Scotia court may refuse
recognition or enforcement of the judgment if the defendant proves that, owing to the
circumstances, such defendant was unable to learn of the act of procedure initiating the
proceedings or was not given sufficient time to offer a defence; and
	 
	 	(g)	 	a Nova Scotia court may decline to hear an action if such court considers
that the courts of another jurisdiction are in a better position to decide the
dispute.

The opinions contained herein are subject to the following qualifications:

	 	(a)	 	the enforceability of the Pledge Agreement and the validity of otherwise enforceable
security interests under the U.S. Pledge is subject to applicable laws relating to
bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, insolvency and other similar laws of general
application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
including the power of a court to stay proceedings in the enforcement of remedies and to
impose limitations on the rights of creditors to require immediate payment of amounts
stated to be payable on demand prior to the expiration of a reasonable period of time after
such demand is made;

- 7 -

 

	 	(b)	 	the PPSA imposes certain obligations on secured creditors which cannot be varied by contract.
The Administrative Agent and any receiver, receiver and manager or agent appointed by the
Administrative Agent, when realizing upon any of the assets charged by the Pledge Agreement or the
U.S. Pledge must issue notices and otherwise comply with, and the enforceability of certain rights
and availability of certain remedies under the Pledge Agreement or the U.S. Pledge may be affected
by the PPSA including, without limitation, sections 17, 18 and 42, and Part V, of the PPSA;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the discretion exercisable by courts of competent jurisdiction in respect of the availability
of equitable remedies and, more generally, the enforceability of the Pledge Agreement and the
validity of otherwise enforceable security interests under the U.S. Pledge is subject to general
principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity, which include principles:

	 	(i)	 	governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, the power to
grant relief from forfeiture, to stay proceedings before it, to stay execution of
judgments or other traditional equitable remedies, which generally place the award of such
remedies, subject to certain guidelines, in the discretion of the court to which the
application for such relief is made;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	requiring good faith, commercial reasonableness and fair dealing in the
performance and enforcement of a contract by the party seeking its enforcement; and

[Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel to JPMorgan Chase]

Opinion of Counsel to JPMorgan Chase

 

 

June 5, 2006

To the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below and

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent

for such Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special New York counsel to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan
Chase”) in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of June 5, 2006 (the “Credit
Agreement”) between Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Borrower”) the Subsidiary
Guarantors party thereto, the financial institutions referred to as “Lenders” identified in the
Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase, as Administrative Agent. Terms defined
in the Credit Agreement have the same respective defined meanings when used herein, and the term
“Pledged Stock” has the meaning ascribed thereto in the Pledge Agreement referred to below.

          In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined:

	 	(a)	 	an executed counterpart of the Credit Agreement; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	an executed counterpart of the U.S. Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge
Agreement” and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit
Documents”).

          In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we
have relied upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents. We have also assumed
that each of the Credit Documents has been duly authorized by, and has been duly executed and
delivered by, and (except, to the extent set forth below, as to the Obligors) constitutes a legal,
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of, all of the parties thereto, that all signatories
thereto have been duly authorized and that all such parties are duly organized and validly existing
and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute,

 

 

deliver and perform the same, and that any authorizations, approvals or consents (including without
limitation all foreign exchange control approvals) and all filings or registrations with, any
governmental or regulatory authority or agency located in any jurisdiction other than the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof required for the making and performance by
any party to any Credit Document have been obtained or made and are in effect.

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications
set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis
for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:

          (1) Each of the Credit Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Obligor party thereto, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance
or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally, and to the possible judicial application of foreign laws or
governmental action affecting the rights of creditors generally, and except as the
enforceability of the Credit Documents is subject to the application of general principles
of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including
without limitation (i) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or any other equitable remedy and (ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good
faith and fair dealing.

          (2) The Pledge Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders, a valid security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”) in the Collateral, provided that (a) such
security interest will continue in the Collateral after disposition thereof and in any
proceeds (as defined in § 9-102(a)(64) of the UCC) only to the extent provided in § 9-315
of the UCC, and (b) such security interest in any portion of the Collateral in which an
Obligor acquires rights after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in
respect of the Borrower may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          (3) The security interest created by the Pledge Agreement in the Pledged Stock
represented by certificates will be perfected upon the delivery to the Administrative Agent
of such certificates.

          (4) If certificates representing Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative
Agent indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective indorsement, or
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent, for value without notice (within the
meaning of UCC §8-105) of an adverse claim (as defined in UCC §8-102(a)(1)) to the
securities represented thereby, the Administrative Agent will acquire such security
interest free of any adverse claim (as so defined).

 

 

               The foregoing opinions are also subject to the following comments and qualifications:

          (A) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that terms
may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

          (B) The enforceability of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement may be limited by laws
limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party from, or
requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the
extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct
or unlawful conduct.

          (C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in
which any Lender is located (other than the State of New York) that limits the interest,
fees or other charges it may impose for the loan or use of money or other credit, (ii) the
last sentence of Section 2.17(d) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) Sections 3.06 and 3.09 of
the Credit Agreement, (iv) Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such
Section relates to the subject-matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit
Agreement, (v) the waiver of inconvenient forum set forth in Section 10.09(c) of the Credit
Agreement, and any similar provision in any of the other Credit Documents, with respect to
proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or
(vi) Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement.

          (D) We express no opinion as to the effect of Section 10.13 of the Credit Agreement.

          (E) Sub-clauses (i) and (ii) of the second sentence of Section 3.02(a) of the Credit
Agreement may not be enforceable to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined
in Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement) are materially modified.

          (F) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of any Subsidiary
Guarantor (or the enforceability of such obligations) under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law or any other provision of law
relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations, or the provisions of the law
of the jurisdiction of any Subsidiary Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other
distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders.

          (G) We wish to point out that the obligations of the Obligors, and the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, under the Pledge Agreement may be
subject to possible limitations upon the exercise of remedial or procedural provisions
contained therein, provided that such limitations do not, in our opinion (but subject to
the other comments and qualifications set forth in this opinion letter), make the remedies
and procedures that will be afforded to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders inadequate

 

 

for the practical realization of the substantive benefits purported to be provided by the
Pledge Agreement.

          (H) We express no opinion as to the existence of, or the right, title or interest of
the Obligors in, to or under, any of the Collateral, and except as expressly provided in
paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) above, we express no opinion as to the creation, perfection or
priority of any security interest in or other lien on the Collateral.

          (I) With respect to our opinion in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, we express no opinion as
to the creation of any security interest in (or other lien on) any Collateral to the extent
that, pursuant to Section 9-104 of the UCC, Article 9 of the UCC does not apply thereto; in
addition, we have assumed that each indorsement referred to therein is effective in
accordance with Section 8-107 of the UCC.

          (J) We express no opinion as to the existence of, or the right, title or interest of
the Obligors in, to or under, any of the Collateral.

          (K) We wish to point out that the acquisition by the Borrower after the initial
extension of credit under the Credit Agreement of an interest in property that becomes
subject to the lien of the Pledge Agreement may constitute a voidable preference under
Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States
and the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the law of any other
jurisdiction.

          This opinion letter is provided to you by us as special New York counsel to JPMorgan Chase
pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other
person or for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit
Agreement without our prior written consent in each instance.

Very truly yours,

LVN/RJW

liabilities in respect of the Escrow Amount.
	 
	7.	 	Anti-money Laundering. Each party to this Agreement other than the Escrow Agent and the

interest to be held by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement, for or to the

party hereto agrees to complete and execute forthwith a declaration in the Escrow Agent’s
prescribed form as to the particulars of such third party.
	 
	 	 	The Escrow Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to
act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Escrow Agent,
in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with
any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or
guideline. Further, should the Escrow Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time
that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any
applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline,
then it shall have the right to resign on ten (10) days written notice to the other parties
to this Agreement, provided (i) that the Escrow Agent’s written notice shall describe the
circumstances of such non-compliance; (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the
Escrow Agent’s satisfaction within such ten (10) day period, then such resignation shall
not be effective; and (iii) that, except as explicitly provided otherwise in this Section
7, the Escrow Agent shall comply with Section 10.
	 
	8.	 	Responsibility of Escrow Agent; Indemnification.

that the Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depositary only and (i) shall not be responsible
or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or
validity of any instrument deposited with it (including, without limitation, the
Arrangement Agreement), for the form or execution of such instruments, for the identity,
authority or right of any Person or party executing or depositing such instruments or for
determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby;
(ii) shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are expressly and
specifically set forth in this Agreement on its part to be performed, and no implied duties
or obligations of any kind shall be read into this Agreement against or on the part of the
Escrow Agent; (iii) shall not be required to take notice of any default or to take any
action with respect to such default involving any expense or liability, unless notice in
writing of such default is formally given to the Escrow Agent, and unless it is

- 4 -

 

	 	 	 	indemnified, in a manner satisfactory to it, against such expense or liability;
(iv) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any written notice, instruction (including, without limitation, wire transfer
instructions, whether incorporated herein or provided in a separate written
instruction), instrument, statement, certificate, request or other document
furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper Person, and shall have no responsibility for determining
the accuracy thereof; (v) may employ and consult counsel satisfactory to it,
including in-house counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such
counsel; and (vi) shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance
resulting from acts beyond its control, including without limitation, acts of God,
strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations
superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses,
power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Escrow Agent may employ such accountants, legal counsel, engineers, appraisers,
other experts, agents, agencies and advisors as it may reasonably require for the purpose
of discharging its duties under this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent may act and shall be
protected in acting in good faith on the opinion or advice or on information obtained from
any such parties and shall not be responsible for any misconduct on the part of any of
them. The reasonable costs of such services shall be added to and be part of the Escrow
Agent’s fee hereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Escrow Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be held liable for
refusing to act unless it has received clear and reasonable documentation which complies
with the terms of this Agreement. Such documentation must not require the exercise of any
discretion or independent judgment.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties or the
exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as provided for herein, other
than as a result of its own gross negligence, bad faith, wilful misconduct or breach of its
obligations pursuant to or in respect of Section 6.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or
step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for

	 	(g)	 	Acquisition Sub and Vincor shall equally share the costs of the Escrow Agent’s services
hereunder, which are set forth in Schedule B hereto, and shall also equally share the costs
and expense reasonably incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the administration
of the escrow created hereby or the performance or observance of its duties hereunder which
are in excess of its compensation for normal services hereunder and covered by the
remuneration, including without limitation, all out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements
incurred or made by the Escrow Agent in the administration of its services and duties
created hereby (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its outside counsel and
other outside advisors required for discharge of its duties hereunder). Any amount owing
under this Section and unpaid thirty (30) days after request for such payment, will bear
interest from the expiration of such thirty (30) days at a rate per annum equal to the then
current rate charged by the Escrow Agent, payable on demand.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Acquisition Sub and Vincor shall be jointly and severally liable to indemnify the
Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost and
expense of any nature incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or with the administration of its duties hereunder, including but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defending or
preparing to defend against any claim of liability, unless and except to the extent such
loss, liability, damage, cost and expense shall be caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross
negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to
hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(i)	 	The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Amount but is serving as
escrow agent only and having only possession thereof. This
Section 8 shall survive notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the
resignation of the Escrow Agent.

	9.	 	Dispute Resolution. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect
to the delivery, ownership, right of possession and/or disposition of the Escrow Amount, or
should any claim be made upon the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Amount by a third party, the
Escrow Agent, upon receipt of notice of such dispute or claim, is authorized and shall be
entitled (at its sole option and election) to retain in its possession without liability, all
or any of said Escrow Amount until such dispute shall have been settled either by the mutual
written agreement of the parties involved or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court
or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the time for perfection of an appeal of such order,
decree or judgment having expired. A copy of any such settlement or final order, decree or

- 6 -

 

	 	 	judgment of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be delivered to the
Escrow Agent by Acquisition Sub, Constellation, the Senior Loan Agent or Vincor forthwith
upon receipt thereof. The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty whatsoever to,
institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Escrow Amount.
	 
	10.	 	Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to resign from its duties
and obligations hereunder upon giving to each of the Parties not less than thirty (30) days’ prior
notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Parties accept as sufficient. Acquisition Sub,
Vincor, Constellation and the Senior Loan Agent acting jointly, shall have the power at any time on
thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to remove the existing the Escrow Agent and appoint a new
escrow agent.
In the event of the Escrow Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid, Acquisition Sub,
Vincor, Constellation and the Senior Loan Agent shall have the obligation to appoint a new
escrow agent, upon which the retiring Escrow Agent shall transfer all of the Escrow Amounts
and agreements and other documents relating to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement then in its possession to an escrow agent satisfactory to Acquisition Sub,
Vincor, Constellation and the Senior Loan Agent, provided that the retiring the Escrow
Agent shall have received payment in full of all fees and expenses owing to it hereunder.
Should Acquisition Sub, Vincor, Constellation and the Senior Loan Agent fail to appoint a
new escrow agent within thirty (30) days after notice has been given, then the Escrow Agent
may, at its discretion, (a) pay and deliver the Escrow Amount into a court of a competent
jurisdiction and have no further responsibility hereunder, or (b) retain the Escrow Amount
on a merely safekeeping basis, at a fee to be determined solely by the Escrow Agent
provided that such fee is not in excess of the fee listed on the fee schedule attached
hereto.
	 
	11.	 	Tax Reporting. The Parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, the Escrow Amount and all
interest or other taxable income earned from the investment of the Escrow Amount in any tax year
shall be taxable to Acquisition Sub.
	 
	12.	 	Representations and Warranties. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the
other parties hereto as follows: (a) it has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and
perform all of its respective obligations under this Agreement; (b) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not
and will not violate any other agreement to which it is a party; (c) this Agreement has been duly
and validly executed and delivered and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and (d) its execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent,
waiver, approval, license or authorization of or any filing with any Governmental Entity or other
Person and will not violate, result in a breach of or the acceleration of any obligation under, or
constitute a default under, any provision of its constating documents, or any indenture, mortgage,
lien, lease, agreement, contract, instrument, order, law, rule,
