AND MOLSON COORS INTERNATIONAL LP (together with the Company, collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders that are signatories to this Amendment and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Administrative Agent”).

The Borrowers, the lenders parties thereto and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).

The parties hereto wish now to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, and, accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4 hereof, but effective as of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

2.01. References Generally. References in the Credit Agreement (including references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby) to “this Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereof”) shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

2.02. Certain Defined Terms. The following definition shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Index Debt” means senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company that is (i) not guaranteed by any Person that does not guarantee all the Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) not benefited by any other credit enhancement. For purposes of determining a rating provided by Moody’s, to the extent that the Company does not otherwise have an “Index Debt” rating from Moody’s, “Index Debt” shall include the senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of Coors Brewing Company that is (i) not guaranteed by any Person that does not guarantee all the Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) not benefited by any other credit enhancement.

2.03. Commitments. Section 2.01(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

“Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that no Canadian Borrowing Subsidiary shall be permitted to borrow a Global Tranche Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars bearing interest at the Canadian Base Rate.”

2.04. Interest Elections and Contract Periods. Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending clause (ii) thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

“(ii) in the case of any B/A Drawing, unless such B/A Drawing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days’ duration”.

2.05. Increase of Commitments. The proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.08(d) of the Credit Agreement and the proviso to the second sentence of Section 2.08(e) of the Credit Agreement are each hereby amended by replacing the respective references therein to “$100,000,000” with “$250,000,000”.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to the amendments contemplated herein), other than those set forth in Sections 3.04(b) and 3.06(a) thereof, and in each of the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof unless such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true on and as of such date, and as if each reference in said Article III to “this Agreement” included reference to this Amendment, and (b) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof shall become effective, as of the date hereof, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment signed by each of the Borrowers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Required Lenders and (b) each Agent and the Lenders shall have received payment of all reasonable fees and expenses (including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent) payable under the Credit Agreement and invoiced two days prior to the date hereof.

Section 5. Confirmation of Guarantee. The Company (a) confirms its obligations under the guarantee set forth in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, (b) confirms that its obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby are entitled to the benefits of such guarantee, (c) confirms that its obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby constitute “Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (d) agrees that the Credit Agreement as amended hereby is the Credit Agreement under and for all purposes of such guarantee.

Section 6. Miscellaneous. Except as herein provided, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of a counterpart by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
