[DATE]

Dear Sirs

Letter of Direction

Heineken UK Limited (“Heineken”) and Kingfisher Beer Europe Limited (“Kingfisher”) entered into a loan agreement on [DATE] (the “Loan Agreement”), under the terms of which Heineken agrees to make available to Kingfisher a loan of £1,000,000 (the “Loan”) on the terms and conditions set out in the Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to clause 8.1 of the Loan Agreement, Kingfisher requests for Heineken to make payment of the Loan in accordance with the terms set out in this letter of direction. Specifically, Kingfisher requests for payment of the Loan to be made in two installments on the due date for payment of the Loan as follows:

1. £[ * ] or the amount of Kingfisher’s debt to Shepherd Neame Limited (company number 00138256) (“Shepherd Neame”) on the Drawdown Date, whichever is the lesser, shall be paid directly to Shepherd Neame to the undernoted account details. The parties have acknowledged in the Loan Agreement that the main purpose of the Loan is to enable Kingfisher to repay an amount of £[ * ] that it owes to Shepherd Neame, and accordingly, Kingfisher’s direction for payment to be made by Heineken directly to Shepherd Neame is to enable Kingfisher to settle its debt to Shepherd Neame at the earliest opportunity. For the avoidance of doubt, Kingfisher must satisfy itself that payment by Heineken to Shepherd Neame pursuant to this letter of direction will constitute settlement of Kingfisher’s debt to Shepherd Neame.

2. The amount owing by Kingfisher to Heineken pursuant to clause 3.4 of the contract brewing and distribution agreement entered into between the parties on [DATE], in relation to the costs of trial brews and package design changes, shall be set off against the remainder of the Loan due under the Loan Agreement, and the balance of £[ ] shall be paid directly to Kingfisher to the undernoted account details.

* CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

24

The parties agree that payment of the Loan by Heineken in accordance with this letter of direction shall crystallise the Loan and that Heineken’s obligation under the Loan Agreement to pay the Loan pursuant to clause 8.1 of the Loan Agreement shall be satisfied. For the avoidance of any doubt, no further amount shall be payable by Heineken under the Loan Agreement.

With effect from the date of payment by Heineken of the Loan in accordance with the terms of this letter of direction, Kingfisher’s right and obligations under the Loan Agreement shall commence in respect of the full Loan amount on the terms and conditions set out in the Loan Agreement.

A person who is not party to this letter has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this letter.

Please confirm your agreement to the terms set out or referred to in this letter by signing and returning the enclosed duplicate copy of this letter.
