            (b)   Provisions relating to the Initial Canadian Denominated Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in the Appendix attached hereto (the "Appendix") which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

The Canadian Denominated Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single Tranche for all purposes under the Indenture.

        With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Canadian Trustee, the following information:

    (2)
    the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities; provided, however, that no Additional Securities may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Securities to have "original issue discount" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and

    (3)
    whether such Additional Securities shall be Transfer Restricted Securities and issued in the form of Initial Canadian Denominated Securities as set forth in the Appendix to this Second Supplemental Indenture or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B to the Appendix.

        Section 2.05    Interest and Principal.    The Canadian Denominated Securities issued under this Second Supplemental Indenture will mature on September 22, 2015 and will bear interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum.

Interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year. Payments of the principal of and interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities shall be made in Canadian Dollars, and the Canadian Denominated Securities shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars.

        Section 2.08    Deemed Value of Canadian Denominated Securities.    For purposes of any determination requiring that Canadian Denominated Securities and U.S. Denominated Securities be aggregated, each Holder of Canadian Denominated Securities shall be deemed to hold a principal amount of U.S.$843.81 of Notes for every Cdn.$1,000 principal amount of Canadian Denominated Securities held by such Holder.

        Section 2.09    Sinking Fund.    The Canadian Denominated Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of any Holder thereof, upon the occurrence of any particular circumstances or otherwise. The Canadian Denominated Securities will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

        Section 2.10    Taxes.    (a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Company, the Parent or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under or with respect to any Canadian Denominated Securities or the Guaranties to a United States Alien will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes, unless the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Indemnified Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Indemnified Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Canadian Denominated Securities or the Guaranties, the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay to each Holder of such Canadian Denominated Securities, as additional interest, such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each such Holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Indemnified Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Indemnified Taxes had not been withheld or deducted, except as provided in Section 2.10(b) of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

            (b)   No Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

                (i)  a payment made to a Holder in respect of the beneficial owner thereof for or on account of:

                A.    any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein, or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

                B.    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Holder's past or present status for United States federal income tax purposes as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company or as a corporation which accumulates

5



        earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

                C.    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Canadian Denominated Securities for payment on a date more than 60 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

                D.    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10 per cent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Company or Parent;

                E.    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Canadian Denominated Security if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

                F.     any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a Holder that is a "United States Person" as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;

                G.    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any Canadian Denominated Security; or

                H.    any combination of the foregoing items; and

               (ii)  any Excluded Taxes.

            (c)   In the event that the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Indemnified Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Canadian Denominated Securities, the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

            (d)   The Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Holders of the Canadian Denominated Securities, within 60 days after the date the payment of such Indemnified Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment by the Company, the Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be.

            (e)   The Company, the Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder from and against, and upon written request reimburse each such Holder for the amount (excluding any Excluded Taxes or amounts with respect to which Additional Amounts have previously been paid by the Company, the Parent or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors) of:

                (i)  any Indemnified Taxes levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Canadian Denominated Securities or the Guaranties;

               (ii)  any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and

6



              (iii)  any Indemnified Taxes imposed and paid by such Holder with respect to any reimbursement under sub-clause (i) or (ii) above.

            (f)    The Company shall pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or other similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or enforcement of rights under, the Indenture or any related document.

ARTICLE III
Redemption of the Securities

        Section 3.01    Optional Redemption.    The Canadian Denominated Securities will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Canadian Denominated Securities then outstanding or (ii) the Canada Yield Price; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Canadian Denominated Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Canadian Denominated Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Canadian Denominated Securities are to be redeemed, the Canadian Trustee shall select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular Canadian Denominated Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Canadian Denominated Securities not previously called by such method as the Canadian Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In addition, the Company (i) may elect to redeem U.S. Denominated Securities without redeeming all or any Canadian Denominated Securities, and (ii) may elect to redeem Canadian Denominated Securities without redeeming all or any U.S. Denominated Securities.

        "Canada Yield Price" means a price equal to the price which, if the Canadian Denominated Securities being redeemed were to be issued at such price on the date of redemption, would provide a yield thereon from the date of redemption to their Maturity Date equal to the Government of Canada Yield plus 29 basis points, calculated on the Business Day preceding the date of redemption of the Canadian Denominated Securities.

        "Government of Canada Yield" means the effective yield from the date fixed for redemption to September 22, 2015, assuming semi-annual compounding, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued in Canadian Dollars in Canada on the date fixed for redemption with a maturity date of September 22, 2015. The Government of Canada Yield shall be calculated as the arithmetic average of the yields to maturity quoted by two Canadian investment dealers selected by the Company and acceptable to the Canadian Trustee.

        Section 3.02    Tax Redemption Event.    Upon the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, the Company may redeem the Canadian Denominated Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Canadian Denominated Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date, by delivering to the Canadian Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, a certificate, signed by an authorized Officer, stating that the Company is entitled to redeem such Canadian Denominated Securities pursuant to this Section 3.02 and specifying the date fixed for such redemption.

ARTICLE IV
Guaranties

        Section 4.01    Parent Guaranty.    The Canadian Denominated Securities shall be guaranteed by the Parent. The Parent hereby confirms its Guaranty of the Canadian Denominated Securities and confirms the applicability of the provisions of the Original Indenture to the Parent with respect to the Canadian Denominated Securities.

        Section 4.02    Subsidiary Guaranties.    The Canadian Denominated Securities shall be guaranteed by the following Subsidiaries (which are hereby designated "Subsidiary Guarantors" under the Indenture with respect to these Canadian Denominated Securities): Coors Brewing Company, Coors Distributing Company, Coors Worldwide, Inc., Coors International Market Development, L.L.L.P., Coors Global Properties, Inc., Coors Intercontinental, Inc., Coors Brewing Company International, Inc. and any other Subsidiary that executes and delivers to the Trustees a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06 of the Original Indenture. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby confirms its Guaranty of the Canadian Denominated Securities and confirms the applicability of the provisions of the Original Indenture to such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Canadian Denominated Securities.

ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous

        Section 5.01    Ratification of Original Indenture: Supplemental Indentures Part of Original Indenture.    Except as expressly amended or supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Second Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Original Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of any Canadian Denominated Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered pursuant hereto shall be bound hereby. Except only insofar as the Original Indenture may be inconsistent with the express provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, in which case the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern and supersede those contained in the Original Indenture, this Second Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth have effect so far as practicable as if all the provisions of the Original Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture were contained in one instrument.

        Section 5.02    Concerning the Canadian Trustee.    The recitals contained herein and in the Canadian Denominated Securities, except with respect to the Canadian Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Canadian Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Canadian Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Second Supplemental Indenture or of the Canadian Denominated Securities.

        Section 5.03    Counterparts.    This Second Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

        Section 5.04    Judgment Currency.    If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court, it becomes necessary to convert a sum due under the Indenture or the Guaranties into Canadian Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. or another nationally-recognized bank in Canada could purchase such other currency with Canadian Dollars in the City of Toronto on the Business Day preceding that day on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Company, the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of any sum due from them to any Holders of Canadian Denominated Securities shall, notwithstanding any judgment in currency other than Canadian Dollars,

8


not be discharged until the first Business Day, following receipt by such Holders of Canadian Denominated Securities of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Holders of Canadian Denominated Securities may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase such other currency with Canadian Dollars.

        The Company and each Guarantor hereby agree to indemnify the Canadian Denominated Security Holders against any loss incurred by any of them as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any sum due under the Indenture or the Guaranties being expressed and paid in the judgment currency and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Canadian Dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in the City of Toronto at which the Company or such Guarantor on the date of payment of judgment or order is able to purchase Canadian Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually paid by the Company or such Guarantor. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Canadian Dollars.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Second Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.

               (ii)  If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

              (iii)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

              (iv)  In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of an Exchange Offer with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

            (d)    Legends.    

                (i)  Except as permitted by the following paragraph (ii), each Initial Canadian Denominated Security certificate evidencing the Restricted Global Securities (and all Securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear legends in substantially the following form:

               (ii)  Upon the consummation of an Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Canadian Denominated Securities, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Canadian Denominated Securities that Initial Canadian Denominated Securities issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Canadian Denominated Securities that do not exchange their Initial Canadian Denominated Securities, and Exchange Securities in certificated or global form will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Canadian Denominated Securities in such Exchange Offer.

              (iii)  Upon a sale or transfer after the date that is four months and a day after the later of (i) the initial distribution date of a Canadian Denominated Security, and (ii) the date on which the Company became a reporting issuer in any Canadian province or territory, all requirements that such Canadian Denominated Security bear the Private Placement Legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall cease to apply; provided however, that the requirements requiring any Initial Canadian Denominated Security be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

            (e)    Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security.    At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for certificated Canadian Denominated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Canadian Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for certificated Canadian Denominated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Canadian Trustee with respect to such Global Security, by the Canadian Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

              (iv)  Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Canadian Denominated Security, the Company, the Canadian Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Canadian Denominated Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Canadian Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

               (v)  All Canadian Denominated Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same continuing debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Canadian Denominated Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

            (g)    No Obligation of the Canadian Trustee.    

                (i)  The Canadian Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Canadian Denominated Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Canadian Denominated Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Canadian Denominated Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security).

The Canadian Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

               (ii)  The Canadian Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Canadian Denominated Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

TERMS OF NOTES

5.00% Senior Note due 2015

1.    Interest    

        Molson Coors Capital Finance ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Canadian Denominated Security at the rate per annum shown above; provided, however, that if certain default events provided for in Section 2(d) of the Exchange Offer Agreement ("Qualification Defaults") occur, Additional Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offer Agreement) will accrue on this Canadian Denominated Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum from and including the date on which any such Qualification Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Qualification Defaults have been cured. The Company will pay interest, in arrears, in equal semi-annual payments on March 22 and September 22 of each year, commencing March 22, 2006. Interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of such Canadian Denominated Securities. The amount of Additional Interest payable for any period other than a regular interest payment period will be determined by multiplying the above Additional Interest rate, by the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities and then multiplying the product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the applicable year. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the above rate and will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at such rate to the extent lawful. Interest, including Additional Interest, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year.

2.    Method of Payment    

        The Company will pay interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Canadian Denominated Securities at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Canadian Denominated Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Canadian Denominated Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of Canada that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Canadian Denominated Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Canadian Denominated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Canadian Denominated Security will be made by wire transfer to a Canadian Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in Canada if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Canadian Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Canadian Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar    

        Initially, The Canada Trust Company, a trust company duly amalgamated and existing under the laws of Canada (the "Canadian Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company, the Parent or any of Parent's Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

A-10



4.    Indenture    

        The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (as supplemented by (1) the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "First Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the U.S. Trustee and the Agent Trustee and (2) the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the Parent, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Canadian Trustee), the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustees (each, as defined therein). The terms of the Canadian Denominated Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "Act"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Canadian Denominated Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Canadian Denominated Securities are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent the terms of this Canadian Denominated Security and those of the Indenture may conflict, the Indenture shall control.

        The Canadian Denominated Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Initial Canadian Denominated Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor will be treated as a single Tranche for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

5.    Optional Redemption    

        The Canadian Denominated Securities will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Canadian Denominated Securities then outstanding or (ii) the Canada Yield Price; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

        Upon the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, the Company may redeem the Canadian Denominated Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Canadian Denominated Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date, by delivering to the Canadian Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, a certificate, signed by an authorized Officer, stating that the Company is entitled to redeem such Canadian Denominated Securities pursuant to the Indenture and specifying the date fixed for such redemption.

6.    Notice of Redemption    

        Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Other than with respect to a redemption resulting from the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, Canadian Denominated Securities in denominations larger than Cdn.$1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of Cdn.$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Canadian Denominated Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Canadian Denominated Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

A-11



7.    Guaranty    

        The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Canadian Denominated Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by the Parent and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

8.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange    

        The Canadian Denominated Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of Cdn.$1,000 principal amount and whole multiples of Cdn.$l,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Canadian Denominated Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Canadian Denominated Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Canadian Denominated Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed.

9.    Persons Deemed Owners    

        The registered Holder of this Canadian Denominated Security may be treated as the legal owner of it for all purposes.

10.    Unclaimed Money    

        If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Canadian Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.

11.    Discharge and Defeasance    

        Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be discharged from all of its obligations under the Canadian Denominated Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Canadian Trustee money or Canada Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-12

13.    Defaults and Remedies    

        Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (ii) default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) on the Securities when due; (iii) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with other covenants in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) the acceleration of certain types of debt of the Parent, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of the Significant Subsidiaries in a principal amount exceeding U.S.$50,000,000 as a result of the failure of the Parent, the Company, or such subsidiary to perform any covenant or agreement applicable to such debt which acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within a certain time period; and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or the Parent Guarantor as set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustees or the Holders of Securities may declare all such Securities to be due and payable immediately as provided for and subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

        Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustees may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations provided for in the Indenture, Holders of Securities may direct the Trustees in their exercise of any trust or power.

14.    Trustees Dealings with the Company    

        Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act and applicable Canadian corporate laws, each Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee.

15.    No Recourse Against Others    

        A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Trustee (and any employee of The Toronto-Dominion Bank acting in its capacity as representative of the initial Canadian Trustee) shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

16.    Authentication    

        This Canadian Denominated Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Canadian Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Canadian Denominated Security.

17.    Abbreviations

TERMS OF NOTES

5.00% Senior Note due 2015

1.    Interest    

        Molson Coors Capital Finance ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Canadian Denominated Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest, in arrears, in equal semi-annual payments on March 22 and September 22 of each year, commencing March 22, 2006. Interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of such Canadian Denominated Securities. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the above rate and will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at such rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year.

2.    Method of Payment    

        The Company will pay interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Canadian Denominated Securities at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Canadian Denominated Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Canadian Denominated Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of Canada that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Canadian Denominated Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Canadian Denominated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Canadian Denominated Security will be made by wire transfer to a Canadian Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in Canada if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Canadian Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Canadian Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar    

        Initially, The Canada Trust Company, a trust company duly amalgamated and existing under the laws of Canada (the "Canadian Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company, the Parent or any of Parent's Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4.    Indenture    

        The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (as supplemented by (1) the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "First Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the U.S. Trustee and the Agent Trustee and (2) the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the Parent, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Canadian Trustee, the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustees (each, as defined therein). The terms of the Canadian Denominated Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of

A-19



the Indenture (the "Act"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Canadian Denominated Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Canadian Denominated Securities are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent the terms of this Canadian Denominated Security and those of the Indenture may conflict, the Indenture shall control.

        The Canadian Denominated Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Initial Canadian Denominated Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor will be treated as a single Tranche for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

5.    Optional Redemption    

        The Canadian Denominated Securities will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Canadian Denominated Securities then outstanding or (ii) the Canada Yield Price; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

        Upon the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, the Company may redeem the Canadian Denominated Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Canadian Denominated Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date, by delivering to the Canadian Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, a certificate, signed by an authorized Officer, stating that the Company is entitled to redeem such Canadian Denominated Securities pursuant to the Indenture specifying and the date fixed for such redemption.

6.    Notice of Redemption    

        Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Other than with respect to a redemption resulting from the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, Canadian Denominated Securities in denominations larger than Cdn.$1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of Cdn.$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Canadian Denominated Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Canadian Denominated Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

7.    Guaranty    

        The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Canadian Denominated Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by the Parent and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

8.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange    

        The Canadian Denominated Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of Cdn.$1,000 principal amount and whole multiples of Cdn.$l,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Canadian Denominated Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the

A-20



transfer or exchange of any Canadian Denominated Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Canadian Denominated Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed.

9.    Persons Deemed Owners    

        The registered Holder of this Canadian Denominated Security may be treated as the legal owner of it for all purposes.

10.    Unclaimed Money    

        If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Canadian Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company or such other Person and not to the Canadian Trustee for payment.

11.    Discharge and Defeasance    

        Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be discharged from all of its obligations under the Canadian Denominated Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Canadian Trustee money or Canada Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

12.    Amendment, Waiver    

        Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustees shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to add guaranties with respect to the Notes, including the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranties, or to secure the Notes, or to add additional covenants or events of default or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Guarantors, or to comply with any request of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Act, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to one or more Series of Securities issued subsequent to such amendment or supplement, or to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Indenture by more than one Trustee, or to establish the form or terms of Securities and coupons of any Series and to change the procedures for transferring and exchanging Securities of any Series so long as such change does not, subject to applicable law, adversely affect the Securityholders.

13.    Defaults and Remedies    

        Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (ii) default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) on the Securities when due; (iii) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with other covenants in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) the acceleration of certain types of debt of the Parent, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of the Significant Subsidiaries in a principal amount exceeding U.S.$50,000,000 as a result of the failure of the Parent, the Company, or

A-21



such subsidiary to perform any covenant or agreement applicable to such debt which acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within a certain time period; and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or the Parent Guarantor as set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustees or the Holders of Securities may declare all such Securities to be due and payable immediately as provided for and subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

        Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustees may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations provided for in the Indenture, Holders of Securities may direct the Trustees in their exercise of any trust or power.

14.    Trustees Dealings with the Company    

        Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act and applicable Canadian corporate law, each Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee.

15.    No Recourse Against Others    

        A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Trustee (and any employee of The Toronto-Dominion Bank acting in its capacity as representative of the initial Canadian Trustee) shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.
