	will be expected to devote substantially all of your full business time, attention, energy and skills to your Company employment duties.

Your target bonus will be 40% of your Base Salary for the first full calendar year of the Term; 45% for the second full calendar year of the Term; and 50% for the third full calendar year of the Term.

	or deferred compensation program to allow you to share a percentage of the pre-tax income of the Businesses at a percentage and subject to terms to be determined by the Company at its discretion.
	If, on the date of any separation from service (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-l(h)), you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-l(i)) any payments otherwise due under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of IRC Section 409A will be paid to you no sooner than six months and one day after the date of your separation from service (or, if earlier than the end of this six-month and one-day period, the date of your death).
Benefits:	During the Term, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s standard company benefits on the same terms such benefits are offered to all Leucadia employees, and as may be amended or modified by Leucadia from time to time with or without notice. During July and August 2007, you will receive only those employee benefits offered to all Leucadia part-time employees.
Paid Vacation Days:	4 weeks. In addition, you shall be entitled to sick leave and personal days in accordance with the Company’s standard policies and procedures as established from time to time.

Termination and Severance:	In the event your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by you without Good Reason (as defined below), the Company shall pay your accrued but unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation pay, through the date of termination as soon as practicable following the date of termination.

All severance amounts shall be paid to you at such times as they would have normally been paid to you in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on the date of any separation from service (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-.l(h)) for which you are entitled to severance payments, you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-l(i)) any payments due under this paragraph will be paid to you in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one week after the date of your separation from service (or, if earlier than the end of this six-

	month and one-week period, the date of your death).
	For purposes of this Agreement “Cause” to terminate your employment shall occur if the Company reasonably determines after due inquiry that any one or more of the following has occurred: (i) your conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; or (ii) your material breach of this Agreement or of any fiduciary duty you have to the Company which shall have continued for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice to the you specifying such breach in reasonable detail; (iii) your willful misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company; or (vi) your habitual drug or alcohol use which materially impairs your ability to perform your duties for the Company; or (v) your engaging in fraud, embezzlement or any other illegal conduct that is materially injurious to the Company or any of its affiliates; or (vi) deliberate or intentional refusal, or habitual failure to discharge your employment duties, responsibilities or obligations or to follow the Company’s policies or procedures which is not cured, if curable, within twenty (20) days following the Company’s written notice to you of such behavior.
	For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean (i) the reduction of your Base Salary by five percent (5%) or more; (ii) the assignment to you of duties inconsistent with your status as CFO or an adverse alteration in the nature of your duties and/or responsibilities, reporting obligations or authority with respect to the Company (provided however, that Good Reason shall not exist as a result of a change in your title that results from the Company being acquired in a change in control transaction provided you remain in an equivalent position with respect to the Company); (iii) any material breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) relocation of your place of employment more than 50 miles from Napa, California. You acknowledge and agree that the Company may change the affiliate company you are employed or paid by at any time and for any reason and that such change in title or employer company shall not constitute Good Reason.
	This Agreement shall also terminate upon your death or disability rendering you unable to perform your duties under this Agreement for 90 consecutive days in any 12-month period. Termination due to your death or disability shall be deemed a termination without Cause and you or your estate shall receive the severance benefits set forth above.
Indemnification	In the event Constellation Wines, or any affiliate or parent company, makes any claim that you have violated the terms of the severance provisions of your employment agreement with Robert Mondavi as

Patrick M. DeLong June 21, 2007 Page 6 of 7
	assumed and amended by Constellation Wines (“Constellation Claim”), then Leucadia shall reimburse you for any amount you actually pay to Constellation Wines as a result of the Constellation Claim, up to the value of one month of your severance benefits from Constellation.
Successors/Change in Control:	The Company will require any successor (whether direct, indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Businesses to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.
	If such a successor requires the termination of your employment before change in control, such termination will be a termination without Cause.
Restrictive Covenants:	In consideration of your employment with the Company, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, you agree that, while you are in the employ of the Company and (i) for a period of two (2) years following the termination of your employment for Cause or your voluntary termination from the Company without Good Reason, and (ii) for one (1) year in the event the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you terminate your employment with Good Reason ((i) and (ii) above shall hereafter be referred to as the “Restricted Period”), you shall not, without the express written permission from the Company, either on your own behalf or on behalf of any third party, directly or indirectly, (other than as the holder of not more than five percent (5%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly-held company), engage in any business competitive to the Businesses. During the Restricted Period you will not attempt to solicit any employee of the Company to terminate his employment with the Company.
Company Proprietary Information:	You understand and acknowledge that your employment with the Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to any information of a confidential or secret nature that may be disclosed to you by the Company that relates to the Businesses or the businesses of any Company affiliate, and that the Company has a protectable business interest in such information.

This instrument constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties.
