the Company shall, to the full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the

addition, the Articles contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damage arising out of a breach of fiduciary duty. Chapter
23B.08.510 and .570 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees, or agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities (including provisions permitting advances for reasonable expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

those provided for in the By-Laws. The Board has authorized the Company to enter into contracts
providing for indemnification with any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company.

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
II-1
Table of Contents
The Amended and Restated By-Laws ("By-Laws") and Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") of Redhook Ale Brewery, Incorporated (the "Company") provide that
the Company shall, to the full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the
"WBCA"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all directors and officers of the Company. In
addition, the Articles contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damage arising out of a breach of fiduciary duty. Chapter
23B.08.510 and .570 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees, or agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities (including provisions permitting advances for reasonable expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Pursuant to Chapter 23B.08.580 of the WBCA, the Board of Directors (the "Board") may
authorize, by a vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board, the Company to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under Chapter 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520 of the WBCA.
The Board has authorized the Company to purchase and maintain appropriate policies of insurance on
behalf of the Company's directors and officers against liabilities asserted against any such person
arising out of his or her status as such. The Board may authorize the Company to enter into a
contract with any person who is or was a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board so determines, greater than
those provided for in the By-Laws. The Board has authorized the Company to enter into contracts
providing for indemnification with any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
II-2
Table of Contents
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in the post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
