Exhibit 2

VOTING AGREEMENT

     This VOTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 20, 2004, by and among The Robert Mondavi Corporation, a California corporation (the Company) and Robert G. Mondavi, R. Michael Mondavi, Timothy J. Mondavi and Marcia Mondavi Borger (together, the Shareholders).

     WHEREAS, R. Michael Mondavi, Timothy J. Mondavi and Marcia Mondavi Borger are directors of the Company and Robert G. Mondavi is the founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Company and the father of R. Michael Mondavi, Timothy J. Mondavi and Marcia Mondavi Borger.

     WHEREAS, each of the Shareholders beneficially owns that number of shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value (the Class A Stock), and Class B Common Stock, no par value (the Class B Stock) and options to acquire shares of Class A Stock (the Options) set forth in Appendix A.

     WHEREAS, as of July 31, 2004, the Company had issued and there were outstanding: 10,678,399 shares of Class A Stock and 5,984,927 shares of Class B Stock.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 310 of the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the CGCL), the Board of Directors of the Company has formed a special committee (the Special Committee) consisting of four independent directors, and the Special Committee has considered the Class A Exchange Ratio and Class B Exchange Ratio (each as defined below) pursuant to the proposed recapitalization of the Company (the Recapitalization), subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock and the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock, whereby, pursuant to the Merger (defined below), (a) each share of Class A Stock will be converted into one share, par value $0.001 per share (the Class A Exchange Ratio) of common stock of The Robert Mondavi Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Mondavi Delaware or the Surviving Corporation) and (b) each share of Class B Stock will be converted into 1.165 shares, par value $0.001 per share (the Class B Exchange Ratio) of common stock of Mondavi Delaware.

     WHEREAS, the Special Committee has unanimously determined that the Class A Exchange Ratio and the Class B Exchange Ratio (together, the Exchange Ratios) are just and reasonable in accordance with Section 310 of the CGCL, and in connection therewith has received opinions from (a) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (Morgan Stanley) to the effect that, as of August 20, 2004, the Class A Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class A Stock (other than Class A holders who also hold shares of Class B Stock) and (b) Evercore Group Inc. (Evercore) to the effect that, as of August 20, 2004, the Class B Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Class B Stock; and the Special Committee has recommended that the Board of Directors of the Company approve the Exchange Ratios.






     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously determined that (a) the Exchange Ratios are just and reasonable and (b) the reincorporation of the Company in Delaware, the Recapitalization to be effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the Merger Agreement), and the merger of the Company with and into Mondavi Delaware, pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the Merger), are in the best interest of the Company.

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, has directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to holders of the Class A Stock (the Class A Shareholders) and holders of the Class B Stock (the Class B Shareholders and, together with the Class A Shareholders, the RMC Shareholders) for their approval and has recommended that the RMC Shareholders approve the Merger Agreement.

     WHEREAS, under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the CGCL and the Merger Agreement, such approval requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock and 60% of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock.

     WHEREAS, the Shareholders have (a) been advised by independent advisors in connection with their consideration of the Recapitalization, the Exchange Ratios, the Merger Agreement and this Agreement; (b) without reliance thereon, been informed that Morgan Stanley has delivered to the Special Committee an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Class A Exchange Ratio to the holders of Class A Stock (other than Class A holders who also hold shares of Class B Stock) and Evercore has delivered to the Special Committee an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Class B Exchange Ratio to the holders of Class B Stock; and (c) had an opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s management, the Special Committee and Evercore regarding this transaction.

     WHEREAS, at the request of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company, the Shareholders have agreed to (a) execute a written consent in the form of Exhibit B, and (b) enter into this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company and each of the Shareholders (acting severally) agree as follows:

     Section 3.01. Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger as promptly as practicable, and to that end to call, hold and convene a meeting of the RMC Shareholders (the RMC Shareholders Meeting) on October 29, 2004, or as promptly thereafter as practicable, for the purpose of seeking approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and the Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.01 shall preclude the Board of Directors of the Company from modifying or withdrawing its recommendation of the Merger Agreement or the Merger if it determines that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders under applicable law. If and upon obtaining such approval, the Company shall cause the Merger and Recapitalization to be effected as promptly as practicable thereafter.

     Section 3.02. Registration Statement; Proxy Materials. The Company shall prepare and file as soon as practicable a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares pursuant to the Merger which shall include the proxy statement relating to the RMC Shareholders Meeting. Such registration statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, respectively. If, at any time prior to the effective date of the Merger, the Company discovers any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the registration statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify the Shareholders and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law or regulation, disseminated to the shareholders of the Company. The proxy statement shall include the recommendations of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company to the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock that they vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.02 shall preclude the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company from modifying or withdrawing its recommendation of the Merger Agreement or the Merger if it determines that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders under applicable law. The Company shall seek to have the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and the Company shall promptly thereafter mail the proxy statement to its shareholders, all in compliance with applicable law.

     Section 3.03 Listing of Shares of Common Stock. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of common stock issued by Mondavi Delaware in the Merger to be listed for trading on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the effective time of the Merger.

5






     (a) The Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company (each an Indemnified Person) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective date of the Merger to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law.

     (b) For six years after the effective date of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall provide officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of the Merger covering each such Indemnified Person currently covered by the Company officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable in the aggregate than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided that, in satisfying its obligation under this Section 3.04, the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay premiums in excess of 200% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year.

     Section 3.05. No Amendment of Mondavi Delaware Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or the Merger Agreement. The Company will not take any action to cause the amendment of, and will not permit Mondavi Delaware to amend, the Certificate of Incorporation of Mondavi Delaware in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or the By-laws of Mondavi Delaware in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D prior to the effectiveness of the Merger without the consent of those Shareholders holding a majority of the shares of the Class B Stock owned by the Shareholders (as reflected in Appendix A hereto), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company will not amend or abandon the Merger Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A prior to effectiveness of the Merger without the consent of each Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

     In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, each Shareholder severally covenants as follows:

     Section 4.01. Voting; Transfer; Irrevocable Proxy. Each Shareholder agrees to vote all shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock beneficially owned by him or her, including any shares of Class A Stock or Class B Stock he or she may subsequently acquire, whether by purchase, exercise of options or otherwise (collectively, the RMC Shares) (a) with respect to the Class A Stock, in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger in the same proportion as Class A Shareholders who are not the Shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and (b) with respect to the Class B Stock, in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, at the RMC Shareholders’ Meeting (and at every adjournment thereof) and not to knowingly cause or encourage any other person or entity to vote against the Merger Agreement or the Merger. Without the prior written consent of the Company, each Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, prior to the receipt by the Company of the approval of the Merger by the requisite vote of its Class A Shareholders and Class B Shareholders, (i) grant any proxies or enter into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of any RMC Shares or (ii) sell, convert, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect

6






sale, conversion, assignment, transfer, Encumbrance or other disposition of, any RMC Shares during the term of this Agreement or solicit or encourage any such transaction or a proposal or offer for any such transaction. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each Shareholder may, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) pledge or otherwise encumber any of his or her RMC Shares so long as the party to whom such RMC Shares are pledged or by whom such RMC Shares are encumbered (such pledged or encumbered shares the Pledged RMC Shares) shall (w) agree in writing pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to comply with all provisions of this Section 4.01 as fully as if such party had been an original signatory to this Agreement (an Assumption Agreement), with respect to the Pledged RMC Shares, and (x) provide an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Assumption Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement with respect to such party; (B) provided such transfer can be made in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, transfer any of the RMC Shares (such transferred shares the Transferred RMC Shares) to any person or entity that (i) was a shareholder of the Company as of February 26, 1993, (ii) is a direct lineal descendant of Robert Mondavi, including adopted persons (if adopted during their minority) and persons born out of wedlock, and excluding foster children and stepchildren; or (iii) is a trust under which any of the persons described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is a beneficiary; provided, that such transferee executes an Assumption Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the Transferred RMC Shares (which Assumption Agreement shall acknowledge the validity and effectiveness of the proxy granted hereunder); and (C) transfer any of the RMC Shares by operation of law upon death or through intestacy (with the transferee executing, to the extent practicable, as a condition to such transfer, an Assumption Agreement). Nothing in this Section 4.01 (other than clause C) shall entitle any Shareholder or permitted transferee to convert any shares of Class B Stock into Class A Stock prior to the effectiveness of the Merger without the prior written consent of the Company. If and to the extent that the written consent in the form of Exhibit B is invalid or revoked, each of the Shareholders hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote, in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.01, each of the RMC Shares at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of the RMC Shareholders (including the right to execute an action by written consent), and hereby appoints and constitutes the Company its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with respect to such matters, with full power of substitution and resubstitution.

     Section 4.02. Further Assurances. The Shareholders shall perform such further acts and execute such further documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to vest in the Company the power to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

     (c) by the Company or by any Shareholder on behalf of such Shareholder if the effective date of the Merger does not occur on or prior to March 31, 2005;

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) or (c) shall not be available to any party whose material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement has been the principal cause of the failure of such vote to be obtained or the failure of the effective date to occur on or before such date.

     Section 5.02. Notice of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the Shareholders pursuant to this Article 5, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party or parties and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any party.

     Section 5.03. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as described in this Article 5, this Agreement, the proxies granted herein and the Action by the Written Consent of the Shareholders dated August 10, 2004 shall become void and of no further force and effect.

8






     Section 6.04. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding in the courts of the State of California or of the United States of America, in each case located in the State of California, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      D. It is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to make provision for the future disposition of shares of Company Stock.

AGREEMENT

     1. Definition of Shareholder. The term “Shareholder” or “Shareholders” as used in this Agreement means (i) those persons who presently own shares of Company stock and who are parties to this Agreement and (ii) any other person to whom shares of Company stock may be transferred hereafter, including, without limitation, the grantor of any trust owning shares of Company stock which are included in the grantor’s estate for federal estate tax purposes. Any transferee of Company shares shall automatically take and hold them subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.

      2. Restrictions on Shares.

           (a) None of the shares of Company stock of any Shareholder nor any right, title, or interest therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law, except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of shares or Company stock contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void.

           (b) Any other provision hereof notwithstanding, an individual Shareholder may, without complying with the restrictions hereinbelow, make an inter

2




vivos or testamentary transfer of some or all of his Company shares (i) directly to or in trust for one or more of the issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi (“issue” as used herein shall include children adopted during their minority), (ii) to a trust in which the Shareholder retains a life interest, provided that the sole residuary beneficiaries of the trust are issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi, and/or (iii) to a trust in which the Shareholder’s spouse is given a life interest, provided the sole residuary beneficiaries of the trust are issue or Robert and Marjorie Mondavi. In each such case, however, the Company stock so transferred shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other or further transfer of such Company stock shall be permitted only after compliance with all of the restrictions contained herein.

      3. First Option.

           (a) In the event a Shareholder (“Offering Shareholder”) wishes to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or make any other disposition of some or all of his Company shares in any manner not specifically permitted under subparagraph 2(b) above (including a situation where a Shareholder separates from his or her spouse or his or her marriage is dissolved, and an interest (including any then existing community or quasi-community interest) in the Shareholder’s Company shares, other than a life estate as contemplated under subparagraph 2(b) above, is proposed to be conveyed to or retained by such Shareholder’s spouse as part of the division of their marital estate), or if a Shareholder makes a testamentary disposition of any or all of his Company shares, or such Company shares pass by intestacy, in any manner not specifically permitted above, then, and in each such case, such Offering Shareholder (this term to refer also, where applicable, to the transferee under the Offering

3




Shareholders will or by the laws of intestacy) shall offer the Company shares in question first to the Company and then to the other Shareholders in the manner hereinafter provided. (For convenience, the term “transfer” is used hereinafter to refer to any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of shares of Company stock.)

           (b) The Offering Shareholder shall notify the Company in writing of his intention to transfer, or permit his spouse to retain other than a life estate in, any or all of his Company shares, the identity of the proposed transferee, the price of and terms of payment for such Company shares (if applicable) and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.

           (c) Company shall have an option, exercisable by giving written notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Offering Shareholder’s notice, to purchase the Company shares proposed to be transferred for their fair market value. If the Company exercises this option as to all or any part of such Company shares, it shall state in its notice of exercise its opinion of the fair market value of such Company shares. If the Offering Shareholder (and, in the case of the offering Shareholder’s separation or the dissolution of his or her marriage, the Offering Shareholder’s spouse) agrees with such opinion, the valuation shall also be binding upon any and all other Shareholders who may purchase any part of the Company shares proposed to be transferred which are not purchased by the Company, as hereinbelow provided. If the Offering Shareholder (and, in the case of the Offering Shareholders’ separation or the dissolution of his or her marriage, the Offering Shareholder’s spouse) does not agree with the Company’s opinion of the fair market

4




value of the Company shares, then the valuation issue shall be submitted to arbitration. The Offering Shareholder and the Company shall select a mutually agreeable arbitrator within ten (10) days of the Company’s notice of exercise. If they are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within that period, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Napa County Superior Court on the application of any party hereto. The Arbitrator shall value the Company as a whole, taking into account its tradename, goodwill and other similar intangible assets, and the value of each share of Company stock shall be deemed to be its proportionate share of the total value of the Company. The limited market for the Company’s securities shall be taken into consideration, but not discount shall be made for minority interests. The arbitrator shall render his decision within forty-five (45) days of his appointment and his decision shall be binding on the Company, the Offering Shareholder (and his or her spouse) and all other Shareholders.

            (d) If the Company does not exercise this option as to all of the Company shares proposed to be transferred, the Company shall, within five (5) days after expiration of the Company’s thirty (30) day option period, notify the other Shareholders of the number of Company shares which the Company does not elect to purchase and, if the Company elects to purchase part of the Company shares proposed to be transferred, (i) the fair market value of such shares as agreed to by the Company and the Offering Shareholder, or (ii) that the valuation issue is being referred to arbitration.

           (e) For fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the Company, each of the other Shareholders shall have an option to purchase his

5




“proportionate part” of the Company shares proposed to be transferred which are not purchased by the Company. “Proportionate part,” as used herein, shall mean that number of the Company shares proposed to be transferred which are not purchased by the Company, that is equal to the number of Company shares owned by each of the other Shareholders, divided by the number of Company shares owned by all other Shareholders, provided that if any of such Company shares are not purchased by the Shareholder first entitled thereto, the “proportionate part” of each of the other Shareholders shall be calculated without reference to the number of Company shares owned by such declining Shareholder.

           (f) If the Company does not elect to purchase any of the Company shares proposed to be transferred, the Offering Shareholder and the other Shareholders who elect to purchase their proportionate parts of such Company shares shall agree on a valuation or the valuation issue shall be arbitrated in accordance with the procedure set out above. If the Company and/or other Shareholders elect to purchase all of the Company shares proposed to be transferred, the closing of the sale and purchase thereof shall take place within thirty (30) days following expiration of the fifteen (15) day option period allowed to the other Shareholders (or, if arbitration is required, within thirty (30) days of the arbitrator’s decision). The purchase price of the Company shares in question shall be payable ten percent (10%) in cash through the closing and the balance in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments of principal, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the Bank of America prime rate of interest, calculated from the closing and adjusted on each successive anniversary date thereof. The buyer or buyers shall deliver a promissory note or notes representing the balance of the purchase price through the closing. Such note or notes

6




(i) shall provide for a grace period of thirty (30) days, (ii) shall be prepayable at any time in whole or from time to time in part without penalty, and (iii) shall provide for acceleration of the entire unpaid obligation should there be a default in the payment of any quarterly installment. The Offering Shareholder shall deliver the appropriate share certificate(s), duly endorsed for transfer, to the Secretary of the Company through the closing and they shall be held by the Secretary as collateral security for the payment of the notes which are issued pursuant hereto, in accordance with the provisions of the form of Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. Each buyer shall execute and deliver a copy of the Pledge Agreement through the closing.

           (g) If the Company and/or the other Shareholders do not purchase all of the Company shares proposed to be transferred, such Company shares may be transferred in accordance with the Offering Shareholder’s notice to the Company, but in any event the transferee (including the Offering Shareholder’s spouse) shall take and hold such Company shares subject to all of the provisions hereof.

           (h) Any cash dividend declared but unpaid on shares purchased by the Company and/or other Shareholders but having a record date prior to the closing shall belong to the Offering Shareholder.

      4. Section 303 Redemption.

            (a) In case of the death of R. Michael Mondavi, Timothy J. Mondavi or Marcia Mondavi Borger (or their respective spouses or issue while such spouses or issue are Shareholders), the Company shall, at the option of the estate of such deceased Shareholder, redeem, in one or more redemptions, the maximum number of Company shares of such deceased Shareholder which is permissible under

7




Section 303 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the “Code”), or a similar successor statute, on the terms and conditions set forth below. In case of the death of any other Shareholder, including without limitation Robert Mondavi or Marjorie Mondavi, the Company agrees to redeem and the estate of such other deceased Shareholder shall sell, in one or more redemptions, the maximum number of Company shares of such other deceased Shareholder which is permissible under Section 303 of the Code, or a similar successor statute, on the terms and conditions contained in the remaining subparagraphs of this paragraph 4.

           (b) In all cases contemplated under the above subparagraph (a), the shares shall be redeemed (i) at the earliest time or times consistent with not accelerating any unpaid death taxes which may be payable over an extended period as provided by Section 6166 of the Code, or a similar successor statute, (ii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice given to the Company by the deceased Shareholder’s executor of the sum of money needed from time to time to pay such death taxes.

           (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subparagraph (b), the executor of the deceased Shareholder may, at any time or from time to time, at his option, accelerate the time for redemption of all or part of the deceased Shareholder’s shares by giving ninety (90) days’ notice to the Company.

           (d) The redemption price for each share redeemed will be the date of death value thereof as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes. Before such value is finally determined, the redemption price will be the value claimed on the federal estate tax return of the deceased, subject to adjustment in cash upon final determination.

EXHIBIT B




PLEDGE AGREEMENT

      1. In accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraph 3(f) of the Stock Buy-Sell Agreement dated as of _______ , 1982, among The Robert Mondavi Corporation (the “Company”) and its shareholders, the undersigned Seller is herewith delivering to the Secretary of the Company, as pledgeholder, the shares of Company stock which are described in Exhibit A hereto (“Shares”), to be held by the Secretary as collateral security for the payment of the undersigned Buyer’s promissory note of even date herewith (the “Note”) which is being made and delivered by Buyer to Seller on account of the purchase price of such Shares.

     2. The Shares shall remain registered to the name of Seller for the duration of this pledge, and in the event that the Seller receives any stock dividends, additional securities or other property in respect of the Shares, then the Seller will likewise immediately deliver the same to the Secretary to be held by the Secretary hereunder in the same manner as said Shares. (The Shares and all money and property which may hereafter be assigned, transferred to and pledged with the Secretary under this paragraph is hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Collateral.”)

     3. So long as the Note is not in default, Buyer shall have the right to vote the Shares. Upon an “event of default,” as defined below, Seller shall, in addition to any other rights it may have, be entitled to vote the Shares.

     4. Buyer agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral, and upon the failure of Buyer to do so Seller at his

 

18



option may pay any or all of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.

     5. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred or paid by Seller in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become a part of the indebtedness secured hereby and shall be paid to Seller by Buyer immediately and without demand with interest thereon at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum commencing on the date that Seller makes any such expenditure.

     6. Immediately upon full payment of the Note by Buyer, Seller shall cause the Secretary to transfer the Collateral and all rights associated therewith to Buyer.

     7. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder: (a) non-payment of any part or all of the Note at the time specified therein; (b) the levy of any attachment, execution or other process against any of the Collateral; or (c) the insolvency or failure in business of, or the commission of any act of bankruptcy, general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or filing of any petition for bankruptcy or for relief under the provisions of the National Bankruptcy Act by, or adjudication in bankruptcy against, Buyer.

     8. Upon an event of default, Seller, without notice to or demand on Buyer and in addition to all other rights and remedies, may, at his option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

19




           (a) Declare without presentment that the Note is immediately due and payable.

           (b) Sue Buyer on the Note and foreclose or otherwise enforce the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral by any available judicial procedure, Buyer to be liable for any remaining deficiency.

           (c) Retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Note, and have it transferred to Seller’s name.

           (d) Subject to any restrictions on the sale of the Collateral contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or as provided by any law, or by any rule or regulation of any public agency, or any other agreement restricting the sale of Company stock to which Seller is a party, publicly or privately sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, and apply the proceeds thereof to: (i) the reasonable expenses of preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, plus (ii) attorney’s fees, legal expenses and costs incurred by Seller in Seller’s exercise of his powers hereunder, plus (iii) the Note. Buyer shall be liable for the immediate payment of any deficiency remaining after the application of the proceeds of such sale or disposition to the sum of items (i), (ii) and (iii).

           (e) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter provided at law or in equity.

     9. Seller may at any time cause the Collateral or any part thereof to be delivered to Buyer and the receipt of same by Buyer shall be a complete and full

20





acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Seller shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefore.

     10. If the Seller negotiates the Note, then, subject to any restriction on the transfer of the Shares imposed by any state or federal law or any rule or regulation of any public agency or any other agreement restricting the transfer of such Shares, Seller may transfer all or any part of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Seller hereunder with respect to such Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred Seller shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

     11. Until the Note shall have been paid in full or cancelled and extinguished, the power of sale and all other rights, powers and remedies granted to Seller hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Seller at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that enforcement of the Note may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the liability of Buyer thereon may have ceased.

     12. The rights, powers and remedies given to Seller by this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Seller by virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forebearance or failure or delay by Seller in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every

21




right, power and remedy of Seller shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed by Seller.

      13. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors in interest.

      14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

      15. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO STOCK BUY-SELL AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Stock Buy-Sell Agreement dated as of March 1, 1982 (the “Agreement”) by and among R. Michael Mondavi, Marcia Mondavi Borger, Timothy J. Mondavi, Robert Mondavi (collectively, the “Shareholders”) and The Robert Mondavi Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), is made and entered into as of March 8, 1993. The parties to this Amendment hereby recite and agree as follows:

RECITALS

     A. On February 26, 1993, the Company affected a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) which changed the character and amount of capital stock held by each of the Shareholders in the Company. As a result of the Recapitalization, the Shareholders of the Company now hold the following shares, which represent all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock as of the date of this Amendment:

Shareholder   Class of
Company Shares
  Number of
Shares
 

 
 
 
Robert Mondavi   Series A Preferred   130,000  
    Class B Common   3,374,145  
R. Michael Mondavi   Class B Common   1,970,285  
Marcia Mondovi Borger   Class B Common   1,970,285  
Timothy J. Mondavi   Class B Common   1,970,285  




      B. The Company is contemplating an underwritten initial public offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “IPO”).

      C. As a result of the Recapitalization and in anticipation of the IPO, the Shareholders and the Company wish to amend the Agreement as provided for herein.

AGREEMENT

      1. The Agreement shall apply to all shares of capital stock of the Company held by the Shareholders (including designated transferees as included in the definition of “Shareholder” in the Agreement), including Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. References in the Agreement to “Company stock” shall include all such shares.

     2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Shareholder may engage in any of the following transactions without regard to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2 of the Agreement and without being subject to or complying with the options in favor of the Company and the other Shareholders in Section 3 of the Agreement: (i) sell shares of Class A Common Stock (issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock currently held by such Shareholder) in the IPO, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriters for the IPO; (ii) transfer any shares of the Company stock he or she holds to a charitable institution, or to a trust for the benefit of a charitable institution; or (iii) transfer shares to a spouse, or to a former spouse in connection with a marital property settlement, or permit such spouse or former spouse to retain his or her interest in shares, or engage in any other transaction with such spouse or former spouse as is described in Section 3(a) or 3(b) of the

2




Agreement. Any transfer of Class B Common Stock pursuant to clause (iii) above shall be deemed to be made to a “beneficial owner” of Company Stock, and shall therefore not result in automatic conversion to Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation. Any proposed voluntary conversion by a Shareholder of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock pursuant to paragraph D.4(a) of Article III of the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation shall be deemed to be a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 3 of the Agreement and shall be subject to the options in favor of the Company and the other Shareholders set forth therein.

     3. After the IPO, “fair market value” of the Class B Common Stock for purposes of the options provided for in Section 3(c) and 3(f) of the Agreement shall be deemed to be the average closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Offering Shareholder’s notice provided for in Section 3(b), as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System or such other listing or exchange as the Class A Common Stock shall then be traded or reported.

     4. Section 3(f) of the Agreement is hereby amended so that any payment thereunder to an Offering Shareholder by the Company or the other Shareholders shall be made as follows: (i) in cash on the closing up to the first one million dollars ($1,000,000) of the purchase price with respect to any proposed transfer or transfers within each calendar year, plus (ii) any amount of the purchase price in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000) payable in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments of

3




principal, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the Bank of America prime rate of interest, calculated from the closing and adjusted on each successive anniversary date thereof (such payments to be represented by a promissory note or notes as provided in Section 3(f)).

     5. Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby eliminated in its entirety, and shall be of no further force or effect.

     6. Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby eliminated in its entirety, and shall be of no further force or effect.

     7. Except to the extent specifically provided for in this Amendment, or as necessary to give full effect to the provisions of this Amendment, all provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

This is to allow the other Shareholders the opportunity to prevent the automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock upon its transfer provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and thereby keep more Class B Common Stock in the family.

  2






     E. For the foregoing reasons, the Shareholders and the Company now wish to amend Sections 2 and 3 of the Agreement as amended by the First Amendment as provided herein.

     F. Except as otherwise provided, all terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement and First Amendment.

AGREEMENT

     1. Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2 of the Agreement, Restrictions on Shares, are hereby amended to read as follows:

“(a) None of the shares of Company stock of any Shareholder nor any right, title, or interest therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law, except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (For convenience, the term “transfer” is used hereinafter to refer to any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of shares of Company stock). Any transfer of Company stock contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void.”

“(b) Any other provision hereof notwithstanding, except for Section 3(j), a Shareholder may, without complying with the restrictions hereinbelow, make an inter vivos or testamentary Transfer of some or all of such Shareholder’s Company shares (i) directly to or in trust for one or more of the issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi (the term “issue” as used herein shall include children adopted during their minority), (ii) to a trust in which the Shareholder retains a life interest, provided that the sole residuary beneficiaries of the trust are issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi; (iii) to a trust in which the Shareholder’s spouse or the spouse of an issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi is given a life interest, provided the sole residuary beneficiaries of the trust are issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi; (iv) to a spouse, or to a former spouse in connection with a marital property settlement, or permit such spouse or former spouse

3






to retain his or her interest in shares, or engage in any other transaction with such spouse or former spouse as is described in Section 3(a) or 3(b) below; or (v) sell shares of Class A Common Stock (issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock) in the IPO, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriters for the IPO.

In each such case, however, the Company stock so transferred shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other or further transfer of such Company stock shall be permitted only after compliance with all of the restrictions contained herein. Any transfer of Class B Common Stock pursuant to clause (iv) above shall be deemed to be made to a “beneficial owner” of Company stock, and shall therefore not result in automatic conversion to Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation shall be deemed a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 3 of this Agreement and shall be subject to the options in favor of the Company and the other Shareholders set forth herein.”

     2. Subsections (a) and (e) of Section 3 of the Agreement, First Option, as amended by the First Amendment, are hereby amended to read as follows:

“(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(i) hereinbelow, in the event a Shareholder (“Offering Shareholder”) wishes to transfer some or all of his Company shares in any manner not specifically permitted under subparagraph 2(b) above, or if a Shareholder makes a testamentary disposition of any or all of his Company shares, or such Company shares pass by intestacy, in any manner not specifically permitted above, then, and in each such case, such Offering Shareholder (this term to refer also, where applicable, to the transferee under the Offering Shareholder’s will or by the laws of intestacy) shall offer the Company shares in question first to the Company and then to the other Shareholders in the manner hereinafter provided.”





“(e) For fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the Company, each of the other Shareholders shall have an option to purchase his “proportionate part” of the Company shares proposed to be transferred which are not purchased by the Company. “Proportionate part,” as used in this Section 3, shall mean for any of the other Shareholders that number of the Company shares proposed to be transferred which are not purchased by the Company that is equal to the product of the total number of shares proposed to be transferred times the number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company (“Class B Common”) owned by such other Shareholder, divided by the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company (“Class B Common”) owned by such other Shareholder, divided by the total number of shares of Class B Common owned by all of the other Shareholders, provided that if any such Company shares are not purchased by the other Shareholder first entitled thereto (a “declining Shareholder”), the “proportionate part” of each of the other Shareholders shall be calculated without reference to (i) the number shares purchased by such declining Shareholders and (ii) the number of shares of Class B Common owned by such declining Shareholders.

     3. Section 3 of the Agreement, First Option, as amended by the First Amendment, is hereby amended by adding new Sections 3(i) and 3(j) to read as follows:

“(i) Any Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) may make an inter vivos or testamentary transfer of all or any part of his or her Company shares to a charitable institution or a trust for the benefit of a charitable institution; provided, however, that if the Transferring Shareholder, or his or her representative, intends to so transfer any shares of Class B Common, the Transferring Shareholder shall first offer the other Class B Common Shareholders the option to exchange shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (“Class A Common”) for such shares of Class B Common in the manner hereinafter provided:

    1)  The Transferring Shareholder, or his or her representative, shall notify (the “Transferor’s Notice”) the Company c/o Company’s General Counsel (the “General Counsel”) at 841 Latour Court, Suite M, Napa, CA 94558, in writing to the Transferring Shareholder’s intention to transfer Class B Common and the number of shares to be transferred; and the General counsel shall notify (the “Company’s Notice”) each of the other Class B Common Shareholders within five (5) days of receipt of the Transferor’s Notice, of the name of the Transferring Shareholder and the number of shares of Class B Common he or she intends to transfer.
         
    2) Each of the other Class B Common Shareholders shall have an option (the “Exchange Option”), exercisable by giving written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) delivered to the General Counsel within ten (10) days of receipt of the Company Notice, to exchange shares of Class A Common for a part or all of the shares of Class B Common to be transferred. A Shareholder shall state in his or her Exercise Notice the maximum number of shares of Class B Common he or she would like to exercise the Exchange Option for.  
         
    3)  Upon receipt of all the Exercise Notices, the General Counsel shall determine the proportionate part of the shares of Class B Common that each of the other Shareholders is entitled to.  
         
      Each Shareholder who has requested to exercise his or her Exchange Option with respect to no more than his or her proportionate part shall be notified by the Company to deliver, and the Shareholder shall deliver, to the Company that number of Class A Common share certificates, duly endorsed for transfer, within five (5) days.  






      Each Shareholder who has requested to exercise his or her Exchange Option with respect to more than his or her proportionate part shall be notified by the Company to deliver, and the Shareholder shall deliver, to the Company within five (5) days the number of Class A Common share certificates, duly endorsed for transfer, equal to (i) his or her proportionate part, plus (ii) his or her proportionate part of the total number of shares for which any other Shareholder does not exercise his or her Exchange Option, calculated without reference to the number of shares of Class B Common owned by all of such other Shareholders;
         
      Within five (5) days of receiving the Class A Common shares the Company shall notify the Transferring Shareholder of the number of Class B Common shares for which an Exchange Option has been exercised, and the Transferring Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the appropriate Class B Common share certificate(s) or other appropriate transfer documents, duly endorsed for transfer. Upon receipt of the Class B Common share certificates or other appropriate transfer documents, the Company shall deliver to the Transferring Shareholder the Class A Common shares received in exchange for the Class B Common shares; and within five (5) days shall deliver to each of the other Shareholder who exercised an Exchange Option newly issued Class B Common share certificates for his or her proportionate part.  
         
    4) The Transferring Shareholder may transfer, in accordance with the Transferors Notice, any of the Class B Common shares which are not exchanged for Class A Common shares under the foregoing Exchange Options, but in any event the transferee shall take and hold such Class B Common shares  

 

7






      subject to all of the provisions hereof and in the Articles of Organization of the Company.  
         
    5)  Any cash dividend declared but unpaid on shares of Class B Common exchanged by the other Shareholders but having a record date prior to the date of the newly issued Class B Common shares shall belong to the Transferring Shareholder.”  
         
    “(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2(b) and this Section 3, if any Company shares held by a trust created for the benefit of the five (5) children of the marriage of Timothy J. Mondavi (“Timothy”) and Dorothy Mondavi (“Dorothy”) are to be transferred from the trust in a manner other than to a trust for the benefit of (i) one or more of the issue of the five (5) children of the marriage of Timothy and Dorothy, which trust provides that the beneficiary(ies) may not make any withdrawals from the trust until he or she reaches the age of forty (40), or (ii) the spouse of any of the five (5) children of the marriage of Timothy and Dorothy for life provided that the sole residuary beneficiaries of such trust are issue of Robert and Marjorie Mondavi and that the remainder beneficiary(ies) may not make any withdrawals from the trust until he or she reaches the age of forty (40), then the Offering Shareholder of such shares shall, during Timothy’s lifetime, first offer the shares to Timothy, rather than the Company, to purchase upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Section 3 for the Company. If within the thirty (30) day option period Timothy does not exercise his first option as to all of the shares, the Offering Shareholder shall, within five (5) days of the expiration of Timothy’s option period, offer such shares to the Company and then to the other Shareholders as otherwise provided in this Section 3.  
         
    “If any shares of Class B Common held by a trust created for the benefit of the five (5) children of the marriage of Timothy and Dorothy are to be  

 





      transferred from the trust to a charitable institution, then, during Timothy’s lifetime, the Company shall, within five (5) days of receipt of the Transferor’s Notice from the trust, first notify Timothy, rather than the other Shareholders, that he has an option to exchange Class A Common shares for all of the Class B Common shares to be transferred, upon the same terms and conditions as are otherwise provided in Section 3(i). If within five (5) days Timothy does not exercise this option as to all of the shares, the Company shall send a Company Notice to the other Shareholders (not including Timothy), within five (5) days and offer such shares to the other Shareholders as otherwise provided in Section 3(i) provided however that a Shareholder’s proportionate part shall be calculated without reference to the number of Class B Common shares owned by Timothy.”  
         
   4. Subsection (c) of Section 12 of the Agreement, Miscellaneous, is hereby amended to read as follows:  
         
    (c) Any notice which may be given by any party in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to all other parties at Robert Mondavi Winery, c/o General Counsel, 841 Latour Court, Suite M, Napa, California 945581, or such other place as a party designates in writing. Addresses of persons becoming Shareholders after the date of this Agreement shall be maintained and available at the corporate offices of the Company.

     THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made by and between the party or parties signing this Agreement as Client where indicated below (together and individually, “Client”) and UBS Credit Corp. (“UBSCC”).

1. Definitions.

     (a) “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, on which UBSCC and UBS PW are open for business.

     (b) “Collateral” has the meaning specified in Section 6(a).

     (c) “Collateral Account” has the meaning specified In Section 6(b).

     (d) “Interest Period” means, with respect to a Fixed Rate Advance, the number of days, weeks or months in the period that (as specified in the related Advice provided pursuant to Section 3(a)) is selected by Client from among those offered by UBSCC commencing on the date of (i) the extension of such Fixed Rate Advance or (ii) any renewal thereof and, in each case, ending on the last day of such period; provided that if such last day is not a Business Day, then such Interest Period shall end on the immediately succeeding Business Day, except that (A) if such last Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day, and (B) each monthly or longer Interest Period that commences on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on any day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the appropriate subsequent calendar month) shall end on the last Business Day of the appropriate calendar month.

     (e) “LIBOR” means, with respect to any Advance, the rate of Interest so designated by UBSCC and determined in accordance with its practices from time to time, in the case of Floating Rate Advances, for 30 days and, in the case of Fixed Rate Advances, for a period corresponding to the Interest Period applicable to the Advance.

     (f) “UBS PW” means UBS PaineWebber Inc. and any successor thereto.






2. Establishment of Line of Credit; Use of Accounts.

     (a) UBSCC hereby establishes an uncommitted, revolving Line of Credit, pursuant to which UBSCC may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, authorize and make one or more “Floating Rate Advances” or “Fixed Rate Advances” (collectively “Advances”) to Client. UBSCC will carry each Advance in the Floating Rate Account or the Fixed Rate Account, as appropriate, indicated above, but all Advances shall constitute extensions of credit pursuant to a single Line of Credit. The maximum dollar amount of credit that may be extended to Client pursuant to the Line of Credit (the "Credit Limit”) and certain other terms relating to the Advances made hereunder are set forth in Schedule I hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time, which is a part of, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, this Agreement.

     (b) Advances may be obtained for such purposes as are approved by UBSCC and will be made available to Client in such form, and pursuant to such procedures, as are established from time to time by UBSCC in its sole discretion. Client agrees to provide such documents and financial or other information with respect to any Advance as UBSCC may reasonably request. Advances will be made by wire transfer of funds to such account as shall be specified in writing by Client or by such other method as shall be agreed upon by UBSCC and Client. Client acknowledges and agrees that UBSCC will not make any Advance to Client unless the collateral maintenance requirements specified in Section 6(d) have been satisfied. Client must sign and deliver a Federal Reserve Form G-3 to UBSCC with this Agreement.

     (c) Client consents and agrees that, in connection with establishing the Accounts, approving any Advances to Client or for any other purpose associated with the Accounts, UBSCC may obtain a consumer or other credit report from a credit reporting agency relating to Client's credit history. Upon request, UBSCC will inform Client: (i) whether or not a consumer or other credit report was requested; and (ii) if so, the name and address of the consumer or other credit reporting agency that furnished the report.

     (d) Client understands that UBSCC may, directly or indirectly, pay a portion of the interest that it receives to Client's Financial Advisor at UBS PW or one of its affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, UBSCC may also charge Client fees for establishing and servicing Client's Account.

3. Terns of Advances: Periodic Statements.

     (a) If so requested by Client and confirmed in an Advance advice (“Advice”) sent to Client by UBSCC, an Advance shall be a Fixed Rate Advance. Each Fixed Rate Advance will bear interest at a fixed rate for a specified Interest Period (as defined In Schedule I hereto) and will be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of the last day of such Interest Period or any date on which UBSCC makes a demand for payment. The date, amount, rate of interest and Interest Period for each Fixed Rate Advance will be as set forth in Schedule I hereto and In the related Advice. Each Advice shall be conclucive and binding upon Client; absent manifest error, unless Client otherwise notifies UBSCC in writing no later than the close of business, New York time, on the Business Day on which the Advice is received by Client, in the case of an asserted error in the rate of interest, or on the third Business Day thereafter in any other case.

     All other Advances shall be Floating Rate Advances. Each Floating Rate Advance will bear interest at the floating rate specified in Schedule I hereto and will be due and payable on demand.

     CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT UBSCC MAY DEMAND FULL OR PARTIAL PAYMENT OF ANY FIXED RATE ADVANCE OR A FLOATING RATE ADVANCE, AT ITS SOLE OPTION AND WITHOUT CAUSE, AT ANY TIME, AND THAT NEITHER FIXED RATE ADVANCES NOR FLOATING RATE ADVANCES ARE EXTENDED FOR ANY SPECIFIC TERM OR DURATION.

     (b) Client promises to pay Interest in respect of the unpaid principal balance of each Advance from the date such Advance is made until it is paid in full, at the times and at the per annum, rate of interest specified in Schedule I hereto and, if applicable, in the Advice relating to such Advance. All interest shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.

     (c) Client promises to pay the outstanding principal balance of each Advance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any costs of collection (including reasonable attorney's fees, if any) on the maturity date thereof (whether as a result of demand, acceleration or otherwise). Client agrees that all payments received in respect of any Collateral, including interest, dividends, premiums and principal, may be applied by UBSCC to any amounts outstanding in the Accounts.

     (d) All payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds and in the same currency in which the Advance was made, which unless otherwise specified in Schedule I or in the applicable Advice, shall be U.S. dollars, to UBSCC for crediting to the appropriate Account. All payments shall be made by wire transfer of funds to such account as shall be specified by UBSCC or by such other method as shall be agreed upon by UBSCC and Client. UBS

 

2






PW may act as collecting and servicing agent for UBSCC with respect to the Advances. All payments must be made to UBSCC free and clear of any and all present and future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions withholding, fees, liabilities and similar charges other than those imposed on the overall net income of UBSCC. Client shall deliver to UBSCC the original or a certified copy of each receipt evidencing payment of any such taxes or, if no taxes are payable In respect of any payment hereunder, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance and from counsel acceptable to UBSCC In its sole discretion, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or not subject to taxes if any such taxes or other charges are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by Client under this Agreement, the amount so payable will be increased to the amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all such taxes and other charges required to be withheld or deducted therefrom, will yield to UBSCC the amount stated to be payable under this Agreement, if any such taxes or charges are paid by UBSCC, Client will reimburse UBSCC on demand for such payments, together with all interest and penalties that may be imposed by any governmental agency.

     (e) Any Fixed Rate Advance that is not paid in full or pursuant to such procedures as may be established by UBSCC, renewed as another Fixed Rate Advance on its maturity date shall be automatically renewed on its maturity date as a U.S. dollar denominated Floating Rate Advance in an amount (based, in the case of any conversion of a non-U.S. dollar denominated Fixed Rate Advance, upon the applicable, spot currency exchange rate as of such maturity date, as determined by UBSCC) equal to the unpaid principal balance thereof plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, and to the extent permitted by law, interest charges on any Advance that are not paid when due will be added to the balance of the Advance, after which interest will accrue on such unpaid interest, as if it were principal until it is repaid.

     (f) In no event will the total interest and fees, if any, charged under this Agreement exceed the maximum interest rate or total fees permitted by law. In the event any excess interest or fees are collected, the same will be refunded or credited to Client. If the amount of interest payable by Client for any period is reduced pursuant to this paragraph, the amount of interest payable for each succeeding period shall be increased to the maximum rate permitted by law until the amount of such reduction has been received by UBSCC.

     (g) Following each month in which there is activity in Client’s Accounts in amounts greater than $1. Client will receive an account statement showing the new balance, the amount of any new Advances, accrued interest, payments and other charges and credits that have been registered or posted to the Accounts. UBSCC may provide copies of all such account statements to UBS PW.

4. Prepayments; Breakage Charges.

     Client may repay any Floating Rate Advance at any time, in whole or In part, without penalty.

     Client may repay any Fixed Rate Advance at any time, in whole or in part Client agrees, promptly upon UBSCC’s request, to reimburse UBSCC for any loss or cost that UBSCC notifies Client has been incurred by UBSCC as a result of any payment of the principal of a Fixed Rate Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period thereof (whether voluntarily, as a result of acceleration, demand or otherwise, except in the case of a demand for payment made by UBSCC at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing), or the Customers failure to take any Fixed Rate Advance on the date agreed upon, including any loss or cost (including, without limitation, loss of margin) connected with UBSCC’s reemployment of the amount so prepaid or of those funds acquired by UBSCC to fund the Advance not taken on the date agreed upon. Any written notice from UBSCC as to the amount of such loss or cost shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5. Joint Account Agreement; Suspension and Cancellation.

     (a) If more than one party is signing this Agreement as Client, each will be jointly and severally liable for payment of all unpaid amounts on the Advances, including the outstanding principal balance, finance charges, fees and other charges hereunder (collectively, the "Account Balance"), regardless of any divorce, legal separation, or other legal proceedings, or any agreement that may affect liability between each person.

     (b) Any Client may request that UBSCC suspend or cancel this Line of Credit by sending UBSCC a written notice of such request addressed to UBSCC, to the attention of the Accounts Administrator at the address listed on Client's periodic Account statements. Any such notice will become effective three Business Days after the date that UBSCC receives it, and each Client will continue to be responsible for paying: (i) the Account Balance as of the effective date of such notice, and (ii) all Advances that any Client has requested but that have not yet become part of the Account Balance as of the effective date of such notice. No such notice will release or in any other way affect UBSCC’s interest in the Collateral (as defined below). All subsequent requests to reinstate credit privileges must be signed by all Clients, including any Client requesting the suspension of credit privileges, provided however,

3





that any such reinstatement shall be granted or denied in the sole discretion of UBSCC.

     (c) The Account Balance will become immediately due and payable in full as of the effective date of any suspension or cancellation. Client will be responsible for the payment of all charges incurred on the Advances after any such effective date. UBSCC will not release any Client from any of Client’s obligations under this Agreement until such time as the Account Balance has been paid in full and this Agreement has been canceled.

6. Collateral.

     (a) To secure payment of the Account Balance and any and all other present or future obligations of Client hereunder, whether absolute or contingent, mature or unmatured, Client hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to UBSCC, and grants to UBSCC a security interest in: (i) each Collateral Account (as defined in sub-section (b) below) of Client at UBS PW; (ii) any and all money, credit balances, securities (certificated or uncertificated), security entitlements, commodity contracts, certificates of deposit, instruments, documents, general intangibles, financial assets and other investment property now or hereafter credited to or carried, held or maintained In any Collateral Account (iii) any over-the-counter options, futures, foreign exchange, swap or similar contracts between Client and either UBS PW or any of its affiliates; (iv) any and all interest, dividends, distributions and other proceeds thereof; and (v) all rights of ownership or general intangibles incidental or attributable to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).

     (b) As used in this Agreement, “Collateral Account” means each account of Client at UBS PW that is identified as a Collateral Account at the top of this Agreement or that is subsequently identified as a Collateral Account by Client in writing, together with any successor to any identified Collateral Account, irrespective of whether such successor account bears a different account number.

     (c) Client will take all actions reasonably requested by UBSCC to evidence, maintain and perfect UBSCC’s security interest in, and to enable UBSCC to obtain control over, the Collateral, including but not limited to making, executing, recording and delivering to UBSCC such financing statements and amendments thereto, control agreements, notices, assignments, listings, powers and other documents with respect to the Collateral and UBSCC’s security interest therein in such form as UBSCC reasonably may require. Client hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints each of UBSCC and UBS PW, as collateral agent, to act as agent and attorney-in-fact for Client to file such documents or to execute such documents in Client’s name, with or without designation of authority. Client acknowledges that it will be obligated in respect of such documentation as if it had executed such documentation itself.

     (d) Client agrees to maintain in a Collateral Account, at all times, Collateral having such aggregate lending value as shall be specified by UBSCC from time to time.

     (e) Client acknowledges that, in the event that any of the shares pledged to UBSCC are registered in the name of a person or entity other than UBSCC, UBSCC may not receive (and accordingly will have no responsibility to act on) any notice of corporate actions or events provided to shareholders of such shares. Client agrees to (i) notify UBSCC promptly upon receipt of any communication to shareholders of such shares disclosing or proposing any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, spin-off or other corporate action or event as a result of which Client would receive securities, cash (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other assets in respect of such shares pledged to UBSCC and (ii) immediately upon receipt by Client of any such assets, deliver them to or as directed by UBSCC as additional Collateral.

7. Control.

     For the purpose of giving UBSCC control over each Collateral Account and in order to perfect UBSCC’s security interests in the Collateral, Client acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to a control agreement entered into between UBSCC and UBS PW:

     (a) UBS PW will comply with entitlement orders originated by UBSCC with respect to any Collateral Account without further consent from Client. UBS PW will treat all assets credited to a Collateral Account, including money and credit balances, as financial assets for purposes of Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

     (b) In order to enable Client to trade financial assets that are from time to time credited to a Collateral Account, UBS PW will comply with entitlement orders originated by Client (or if so agreed by UBS PW, by an investment adviser designated by Client and acceptable to UBSCC and UBS PW) with respect to the Collateral Account, but only until such time as UBSCC notifies UBS PW that UBSCC is thereby asserting exclusive control over the Collateral Account. After UBS PW has received such a notice of exclusive control and has had a reasonable opportunity to comply, it will no longer comply with entitlement orders originated by Client (or by any investment adviser designated by Client) concerning the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, and irrespective of whether it has received

4




any notice of exclusive control, UBS PW will not comply with any entitlement order originated by Client (or by any investment adviser designated by Client) to withdraw any financial assets from a Collateral Account or to pay any money, free credit balance or other amount owing with respect to a Collateral Account without the prior written consent of UBSCC.

     (c) UBS PW may provide copies of all statements and confirmations concerning each Collateral Account to UBSCC at such times and in such manner as UBSCC may request.

8. Defaults, Remedies.

     (a) It will be a Default under this Agreement if any of the following occurs with respect to Client or, if there is more than one Client, any one of them: (i) Client fais to pay any amount due hereunder (other than interest that is to be added to principal pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof); (ii) Client fails to maintain sufficient collateral in a Collateral Account; (iii) Client breaches or fails to perform any other covenant, agreement, term or condition that is applicable to it under this Agreement, or any representation or other statement of Client herein or in any other document delivered in connection herewith shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; (iv) Client dies or, if not an individual, ceases to exist; (v) any voluntary or involuntary proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation or similar action of Client or of its usual businesses is commenced, or a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator or rehabilitator is appointed, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made, with respect to Client or its property, (vi) a Collateral Account is terminated, attached or subjected to a levy; (vii) Client shall fail to provide promptly such financial and other information as UBSCC may reasonably request from time to time; (viii) any indebtedness of Client in respect of borrowed money (including indebtedness guaranteed by Client) or in respect of any swap, forward, cap, floor, collar, option or other derivative transaction, repurchase or similar transaction or any combination of these transactions shall not have been paid when due, or any event or condition shall have caused such indebtedness to become, or shall have permitted the holder hereof to declare such indebtedness to be, due and payable prior to its stated maturity; (ix) any legal proceeding shall have been instituted or any other event shall have occurred or condition shall exist that in UBSCC’s judgment calls into question the validity or binding effect of this Agreement or any of Client's obligations hereunder; or (x) UBSCC determines that the financial condition of Client or Clients' ability to perform its obligations hereunder has been impaired.

     (b) If a Default occurs, the Account Balance will become immediately due and payable (without demand) and UBSCC may, in its sole discretion, liquidate, withdraw or sell all or any part of the Collateral and apply the same, as well as the proceeds thereof, to any amounts owed to UBSCC. Such sale may be made in UBSCC’s sole discretion by public sale on any exchange or market where such business is then usually transacted or by private sale, and UBSCC may purchase at any such public or private sale. Any Collateral that may decline speedily in value or that is sold on a recognized market may be sold without providing Client prior notice of such sale. Client agrees that, for all other Collateral, two calendar days notice to Client, sent to its last address shown in UBSCC’s account records, shall be deemed reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may occur. Any amounts due and not paid on any Advance following a Default shall bear interest from the day following such Default until fully paid at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Advance immediately prior to the Default plus 2.00%. In addition to UBSCC’s rights under this Agreement, UBSCC will have the right to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect.

     (c) All rights and remedies of UBSCC under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies that UBSCC may have at law or equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of any amount due hereunder.

9. Representations and Warranties by Client.

     Client (and each of them if there is more than one Client) represents and warrants to UBSCC that:

     (a) Except for UBSCC’s rights under this Agreement and the rights of UBS PW under any account agreement, Client owns the Collateral, free of any interest or lien in favor of any third party and free of any impediment to transfer;

     (b) Client will not pledge the Collateral or grant a security interest in the Collateral to any party other than UBSCC or UBS PW, or permit the Collateral to become subject to any liens or encumbrances (other than those of UBSCC and UBS PW), during the term of this Agreement; and

6

 




     You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do. If the borrower doesn't pay the debt, you will have to. Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.

     You may have to pay to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount.

     The creditor can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The creditor can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, etc. If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.

     This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.

     AVISO PARA EL FIADOR (Spanish Translation Required By Law)

     Se le esta pidiendo que garantice esta deuda. Pienselo con cuidado antes do ponerse de acuerdo. Si la persona que ha pedido este prestamo no paga la deuda, usted tendre qua pagaria. Esto seguro de que usted podra pagar si sea obligado a pagaria y de que usted desea aceptar la responsabilidad.

     Si la persona que ha pedido el prestamo no paga la deuda, es posible que usted tenga que pagar la suma total de la deuda, mas los cargos por tardarse en el pago o el costo de cobranza, lo cual aumenta el total de esta suma.

     El acreedor (financiero) puede cobrarle a usted sin, primeramente, tratar de cobrarle al deudor. Los mismos metodos de cobranza que pueden usarse contra el deudor, podran usarse contra usted, tales como presentar una demanda en corte, quitar parte de su sueldo, etc. Si alguna vez no se cumpla con la obligacion de pagar esta deuda, se puede incluir esa informacion en la historia de credito de usted.

     Este aviso no es el contrato mismo en que se le echa a usted la responsabilidad de la deuda.
