Fifth Supplemental Indenture to Indenture among Molson Coors Capital Finance ULC, Guarantors, and Trustees (May 23, 2008)

Summary

This Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated May 23, 2008, amends the original Indenture dated September 22, 2005, among Molson Coors Capital Finance ULC, several affiliated guarantors, The Bank of New York Trust Company (U.S. Trustee), and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (Canadian Trustee). It documents the assumption of obligations by certain guarantors following an asset transfer and merger among affiliates. The agreement confirms that the surviving entities expressly assume all obligations under subsidiary guarantees, and all other terms of the original Indenture remain in effect.
