Either party to any bottler agreement may, within 60 days’ notice thereof to the other party, terminate the bottler agreement in case of default of the other party, provided that such default is not remedied during such period.
In addition, if a bottler does not wish to pay the required price for concentrate for any Coca-Cola products, it must notify The Coca-Cola Company within 30 days of receipt of The Coca-Cola Company’s new prices.

In the case of Coca-Cola concentrate, the bottler agreements shall be deemed terminated three months after The Coca-Cola Company’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal.
The Coca-Cola Company may also terminate the bottler agreements if the bottler or any individual or legal entity that controls it, engages in the production of any non-Coca-Cola beverage, whether through direct ownership of such operations or through control or administration thereof, provided that, upon request, the bottler shall be given six months to remedy such situation.
