            (b)   The relative rights, privileges and limitations of the shares of each class of Common Stock are as follows:

- 1 -


(1)  The Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall be identical in all respects, share for share, except with respect to the right to vote and except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Special Class A Voting Stock and the Special Class B Voting Stock shall be identical in all respects, share for share, except with respect to the right to vote and except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the right to vote for all purposes shall be vested exclusively in the holders of Class A Common Stock and Special Class A Voting Stock (the "Class A Holders"), voting together as a single class as further described in subparagraph (3) below (except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law). The holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock on each matter for which holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote.
(2)  The holders of Class B Common Stock and Special Class B Voting Stock (the "Class B Holders"), voting together as a single class as further described in subparagraph (4) below, shall be entitled, voting as a class separately from the Class A Holders, to elect at each annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders or by written consent three (3) members of the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") but, except where applicable provisions of the DGCL or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation require otherwise, shall otherwise have no right to vote either for the election of directors or for any other purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in paragraph (b) of Article Ninth, the Class B Holders shall have no right to vote on the removal of directors from the Board of Directors. The holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote per share of Class B Common Stock on each matter on which holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote. Each Class B Holder shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to receive all materials distributed to the stockholders with respect to, and to attend, all meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation (other than with respect to class meetings of holders of Preferred Stock).
(3)  The holder of the Special Class A Voting Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock (whether at an annual or special meeting or by written consent), voting together with the holders of Class A Common Stock as a single class (except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law), and the holder of the Special Class A Voting Stock shall be entitled to cast on any such matter a number of votes equal to the number of Class A non-voting exchangeable shares ("Exchangeable Class A Shares") of Molson Coors Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Exchangeco"), and its successors-at-law, whether by merger, amalgamation or otherwise, outstanding as of the record date for such annual or special meeting or written consent of stockholders and not belonging to the Corporation or any other entity of which a majority of the shares (or similar interests) entitled to vote in the election of members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such other entity is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (any such entity, a "subsidiary" of the Corporation). At such time as no Exchangeable Class A Shares (other than Exchangeable Class A Shares belonging to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation) shall be outstanding and there are no shares of stock, debt, options, rights, warrants, or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for, or other agreements which could give rise to the issuance of, any Exchangeable Class A Shares to any person (other than the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation), the share of Special Class A Voting Stock shall be automatically redeemed for

- 2 -


$0.01, but only out of funds legally available therefor, and upon any such redemption of the Special Class A Voting Stock by the Corporation, the share of Special Class A Voting Stock shall be deemed retired and canceled and may not be reissued.
(4)  The holder of the Special Class B Voting Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock (whether at an annual or special meeting or by written consent), voting together with the holders of Class B Common Stock as a single class (except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law), and the holder of the Special Class B Voting Stock shall be entitled to cast on any such matter a number of votes equal to the number of Class B non-voting exchangeable shares ("Exchangeable Class B Shares") of Exchangeco and its successors-at-law, whether by merger, amalgamation or otherwise, outstanding as of the record date for such annual or special meeting or written consent of stockholders and not belonging to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation. At such time as no Exchangeable Class B Shares (other than Exchangeable Class B Shares belonging to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation) shall be outstanding and there are no shares of stock, debt, options, rights, warrants, or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for, or other agreements which could give rise to the issuance of, any Exchangeable Class B Shares to any person (other than the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation), the share of Special Class B Voting Stock shall be automatically redeemed for $0.01, but only out of funds legally available therefor, and upon any such redemption of the Special Class B Voting Stock by the Corporation, the share of Special Class B Voting Stock shall be deemed retired and canceled and may not be reissued.
(5)  The affirmative vote of Class A Holders representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all Class A Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be necessary for effecting the following actions:
(i)  the issuance of (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to Article Fifth or (y) the exchange or redemption of Exchangeable Class A Shares pursuant to the terms of such shares) or securities (other than Class B Common Stock) convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, (B) any shares of Class B Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) the conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Article Fifth or Article Sixth or (y) the exchange or redemption of Exchangeable Class B Shares pursuant to the terms of such shares) or securities (other than Class A Common Stock) convertible into or exercisable for Class B Common Stock whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, if the number of shares to be so issued (including upon conversion or exchange) is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding before the issuance of such Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Class B Common Stock) or (C) any shares of Preferred Stock having any voting rights other than those expressly required by the DGCL;
(ii)  the sale, transfer or other disposition (whether directly by the Corporation or indirectly through any of its subsidiaries) of any capital stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock) of either Molson Inc. or any of its successors

- 3 -


(collectively, "Molson") or Coors Brewing Company or any of its successors (collectively, "CBC") or the issuance by Molson or CBC of any shares of its capital stock; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any such sale, transfer, disposition or issuance of capital stock of Molson or CBC, as the case may be, if, after giving effect thereto, the Corporation continues to own, either directly or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 100% of the capital stock of Molson or CBC, as the case may be;
(iii)  the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Molson or CBC (whether directly by Molson or CBC or indirectly through any of their respective subsidiaries, and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions);
(iv)  any decrease in the number of members of the Board of Directors to a number less than fifteen (15); and
(v)  any action to permit or cause any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above.
 (6)  The Class A Holders and the Class B Holders shall have the right to vote, as separate classes and not jointly, on (i) any agreement of merger that requires stockholder approval under the DGCL or a statutory share exchange (but only to the extent that the DGCL is hereafter amended to provide for such a statutory share exchange), (ii) any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation (other than to or with any entity that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Corporation) or any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of any entity (A) of which the Corporation is in possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through ownership of voting shares or interests, by contract or otherwise and (B) whose shares or other interests held by the Corporation constitute all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, (iii) any proposal to dissolve the Corporation or any proposal to revoke the dissolution of the Corporation or (iv) any amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation that requires stockholder approval under this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL and that would (A) increase or decrease the aggregate number of the authorized shares of Class B Common Stock; (B) change the designations, preferences, limitations, or relative rights of any shares of Class B Common Stock; (C) change the shares of all or part of Class B Common Stock into a different number of shares of the same class; (D) increase the rights, preferences or number of authorized shares of any other class that is equal or superior to Class B Common Stock with respect to distribution or dissolution rights (a "co-equal class"), (E) create any new co-equal class; (F) other than pursuant to Articles Fifth or Sixth, exchange or reclassify any shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of another class, or exchange, reclassify or create the right of exchange of any shares of another class into shares of Class B Common Stock; or (G) limit or deny existing preemptive rights of, or cancel or otherwise affect rights to distributions or dividends that have accumulated but have not yet been declared on, any shares of Class B Common Stock. The vote required to approve the foregoing actions is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the Class A Holders entitled to vote thereon and the holders of a majority in voting power of the Class B Holders entitled to vote thereon, each voting as a separate class and not jointly. For

- 4 -


the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of clause (iv) above, the creation or issuance of any series of preferred stock pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Article Fourth shall not be deemed an amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation that requires stockholder approval pursuant to this subparagraph (6).
(7)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock and subject to subparagraph (8) below, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends (whether payable in cash or otherwise) as shall be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, except that so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid, in cash or otherwise, on any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock unless at the same time there shall be declared or paid, as the case may be, a dividend on Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, as applicable, in an amount per share (or, in the case of a dividend declared or paid in the form of shares of Common Stock, a number per share) equal to the amount (or number) per share of the dividend declared or paid on the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable.
(8)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may declare and distribute dividends pro rata to the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. Dividends payable in Common Stock to the holders of Class A Common Stock may be made in authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or in authorized and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, as the Board of Directors determines. Dividends payable in Common Stock to the holders of Class B Common Stock may be made only in authorized and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock.
(9)  The holder of the Special Class A Voting Stock and the holder of the Special Class B Voting Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions or to receive or participate in any distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
(10)  Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, at any time when, and only for so long as, the Corporation has no shares of Class A Common Stock and no shares of Special Class A Voting Stock outstanding, the Class B Holders shall have, without further action by the Board of Directors or stockholders, the right to vote for the election of all of the Corporation's directors and for all other purposes, and all references in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to required votes of the Class A Holders or to the right of Class A Holders to vote shall be deemed to refer to the Class B Holders. At such time as the Corporation reissues one or more shares of Class A Common Stock, the voting rights of the Class B Holders shall be as set forth in the foregoing subparagraphs and not in this subparagraph (10).
(11)  The Class A Holders and the Class B Holders may act by written consent in accordance with the DGCL.

- 5 -


(12)  The shares of Class B Common Stock shall be subject to conversion as set forth in Article Fifth and the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be subject to conversion as set forth in Article Sixth.
(c)   Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series from time to time by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to fix by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the DGCL (a "Preferred Stock Designation"), setting forth such resolution, to establish by resolution from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix by resolution the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each series of Preferred Stock.
        The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(1)   the distinctive serial designation of such series which shall distinguish it from other series;
(2)   the number of shares included in such series;
(3)   the dividend rate (or method of determining such rate) payable to the holders of the shares of such series, any conditions upon which such dividends shall be paid and the date or dates upon which such dividends shall be payable;
(4)   whether dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative and, in the case of shares of any series having cumulative dividend rights, the date or dates or method of determining the date or dates from which dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative;
(5)   the amount or amounts which shall be payable out of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the shares of such series upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up the Corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of the shares of such series;
(6)   the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the shares of such series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Corporation or at the option of the holder or holders thereof or upon the happening of a specified event or events;
(7)   the obligation, if any, of the Corporation to purchase or redeem shares of such series pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise and the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the shares of such series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;
(8)   whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible or exchangeable, at any time or times at the option of the holder or holders thereof or at the option of the Corporation or

(9)   subject to subparagraph (b)(5)(i) of this Article Fourth, whether or not the holders of the shares of such series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights required by law, and if so the terms of such voting rights.
The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to vary the provisions relating to the foregoing matters between the various series of Preferred Stock, but, unless otherwise specified in a Preferred Stock Designation, in all other respects the shares of each series shall be of equal rank with each other regardless of series. Notwithstanding the fixing of the number of shares constituting a particular series upon the issuance thereof, unless otherwise specified in the Preferred Stock Designation and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may at any time thereafter authorize the issuance of additional shares of the same series or may reduce (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) the number of shares constituting such series.
(d)   The number of authorized shares of any class of stock of the Corporation may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class A Holders, irrespective of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, without a separate class vote of the class to be increased or decreased; provided, however, that this provision shall not affect the requirement of any vote required pursuant to subparagraph (6) of paragraph (b) of this Article Fourth or any Preferred Stock Designation.

For the purpose of this determination, (i) certificates in respect of which such a notice has been filed shall not be regarded as delivered insofar as the shares of Class A Common Stock or Exchangeable Class A Shares to which the notice relates are concerned; (ii) the transfer that is the subject of any notice referred to in clause (e)(1)(iv) or (e)(2)(iv) shall be deemed to have already taken place at the time of the determination; and (iii) the transferee in the case of any notice referred to in clause (e)(1)(iv) or (e)(2)(iv) shall be deemed to be a person or company from whom the Transfer Agent does not have a certificate unless the Transfer Agent is otherwise advised of the identity of the transferee, either by such notice or by the transferee in writing, and such transferee is a person or company from whom the Transfer Agent has received delivery of a certificate. If the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Exchangeable Class A Shares so determined to be subject to certificates delivered pursuant to subparagraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Exchangeable Class A Shares, exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the Offer Date by the Offeror, paragraph (e) of this Article Fifth shall cease to apply and the conversion right provided for in paragraph (b) of this Article Fifth shall be in effect for the remainder of the Conversion Period.
(g)  As soon as reasonably possible after the seventh (7th) day after the Offer Date, the Corporation shall send to each holder of shares of Class B Common Stock with a copy to the trustee under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement entered into with respect to the Exchangeable Class B Shares a notice advising such holders as to whether they are entitled to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock and the reasons therefor. If such notice discloses that they are not so entitled but it is subsequently determined that they are so entitled by virtue of paragraph (f) of this Article Fifth or otherwise, the Corporation shall forthwith send another notice to the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock advising them of that fact and the reasons therefor.
(h)  If a notice referred to in paragraph (g) of this Article Fifth discloses that the conversion right provided for in paragraph (b) of this Article Fifth has come into effect, the notice shall:

- 12 -


(1)   include a description of the procedure to be followed to effect the conversion and to have the Converted Shares tendered under the offer;

(j)  No stock certificates representing Exchangeable Converted Shares shall be delivered to or to the order of the holders of the shares before such shares are tendered into the Exclusionary Offer; the Transfer Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Exchangeable Converted Shares, shall tender pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer a certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Converted Shares. Upon completion of the Exclusionary Offer, the Transfer Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders entitled thereto all consideration paid by the Offeror pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer in respect of the Exchangeable Converted Shares. If the Exchangeable Converted Shares are converted into shares of Class B Common Stock in accordance with the notice of irrevocable election pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions (the "Exchangeable Election") delivered to the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the holders entitled thereto a stock certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock resulting from the conversion. The Corporation shall make all arrangements with the Transfer Agent necessary or desirable to give effect to this paragraph (j). The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the Exchangeable Election in converting Exchangeable Converted Shares into shares of Class B Common Stock. If the right of withdrawal from the Exclusionary Offer is not exercised by the holder of Exchangeable Converted Shares, any conversion into shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Exchangeable Election shall become effective:
(1)   in respect of an Exclusionary Offer which is completed, immediately following the time by which the Offer is required under applicable securities laws to purchase and pay for all shares to be acquired by the Offeror under the Exclusionary Offer; and
(2)   in respect of an Exclusionary Offer which is abandoned or withdrawn, at the time at which the Exclusionary Offer is abandoned or withdrawn.

- 13 -


into shares of Class B Common Stock (any such conversion, a "Conversion") pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (a) of Article Sixth. In order to effect a Conversion, a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock must deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation (i) a written notice of such holder's election to convert (a "Notice of Conversion") shares of Class A Common Stock specifying the number of shares to be converted and (ii) the certificate or certificates representing such shares.

As promptly as practicable after receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of such Notice of Conversion and such certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article Sixth. In the event of a Conversion of a certificate or certificates in part, the Corporation shall also issue to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock not being so converted. A Conversion shall be deemed to have been consummated immediately prior to the close of business on the date the Secretary of the Corporation receives the Notice of Conversion of the holder of Class A Common Shares electing to make such Conversion (the "Conversion Date"), or if the Conversion Date is not a business day, then the next business day, and as of such date such holder shall be deemed to be a holder of record of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with this Article Sixth notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation may then be closed or that a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class B Common Stock shall not then actually be issued or delivered to such holder.
(b)  Upon any Conversion the holder of shares of Class A Common Stock being converted shall receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock being converted.
(c)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the delivery of any shares of Class B Common Stock that the Corporation is obligated to deliver pursuant to any Conversion, the Corporation shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations which require action to be taken by the Corporation in connection with such Conversion.
(d)  The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon any Conversion, other than any tax payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Class B Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock converted pursuant to such Conversion immediately prior to such Conversion. The Corporation shall have the right not to issue or deliver any shares of Class B Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock converted pursuant to a Conversion immediately prior to such Conversion unless and until the person requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
