Territory.  The  Company may, in its sole discretion,  contribute to such advertising and
marketing expenditures. The Company may also  undertake at its own expense any
advertising or promotional  activity that the Company deems  appropriate to conduct  in

funds for the advertising  and  marketing of each of the  Beverages so as to stimulate

	 	8. 	 The
Bottler shall submit to the Company, for its prior  approval, all advertising and all

every reasonable effort to settle them amicably.




	 	 	The
Bottler will not oppose without valid reason any  additional measures the adoption of

improve the sales and distribution system for the Beverages  as, for instance, those
which might be adopted concerning the  supply of large and/or special buyers whose field
of activity  transcends the boundaries of the Territory, even if such  measures should
entail a restriction of the Bottler’s rights  or obligations within reasonable limits not
affecting the  substance of this Agreement.




	 	12. 	(a) 	 The Bottler, recognizing the important
      benefit to itself and all the other parties referred to in Clause 11 above
      of a uniform external appearance of the distribution and other equipment
      and materials used under this Agreement agrees to accept and apply the standards
      adopted and issued from time to time by the Company for the design and decoration
      of trucks and other delivery vehicles, cases, cartons, coolers, vending
      machines, and other materials and equipment used in the distribution and
      sale of the Beverages under this Agreement.




	 		(b) 	 The
Bottler further agrees to maintain and to replace  such equipment at such intervals as
are reasonably  necessary and to use such equipment to distribute or  sell only the

      the prior written consent of the Company, prepare, sell or distribute or
      cause the sale or distribution in any manner whatsoever of any of the Beverages

the event any of the Beverages prepared, packaged,  distributed or sold by the Bottler
are found in the  territory of another authorized bottler of the  products of the company
(hereinafter referred to as  the “Injured Bottler”) then in addition to all
other  remedies available to the Company:




	 			(1) 	 the
Company may in its sole discretion cancel  forthwith the authorization for the Authorized
Container(s) of the type which were found in the  Injured Bottler’s territory;




	 			(2) 	 the
Company may charge the Bottler an amount of  compensation  for the Beverages found in the
Injured  Bottler’s  territory to  include  all lost  profits,  expenses,  and other
costs  incurred  by the  Company and the Injured  Bottler; and




	 			(3) 	 the

has reason to believe or  suspect would result in the Beverages being marketed,  sold,
resold, distributed or redistributed outside  the Territory in breach of this Agreement

	 	20.	(a) 	 The Bottler covenants and agrees
      with the Company to use, in preparing the Syrups for each of the Beverages,

necessary  action  to  withdraw  immediately  any such  Beverages  or  Authorized
Containers from the market. Additionally,  the Company may cancel its authorization

	Exhibit 4.5













	 		(d) 	 in
the event the Bottler determines or becomes aware  of the existence of quality or other
technical  problems relating to any of the Beverages or  Authorized Containers in respect
of any of the  Beverages, then the Bottler shall immediately notify  the Company by
telephone, cable, telex, telefax, or  any other form of immediate communication. This
notification shall include (1) identity and  quantities of the Beverages involved,
including the  Authorized Containers, (2) coding data, (3) any other  relevant data

the  Beverages, and of materials used in the preparation  of the Syrups and the Beverages
in accordance with  such instructions as may be given in writing from  time to time by
the Company.




	 	22.	(a) 	 In the packaging, distribution
      and sale of the Beverages, the Bottler shall use only such Authorized Containers,
      closures, cases, cartons, labels and other packaging materials approved
      from time to time by the Company, and the Bottler shall purchase such items
      only from manufacturers who have been authorized by the Company to manufacture
      the items to be used in connection with the Trade Marks and the Beverages.
      The Company shall use its best efforts to approve two or more manufacturers
      of such items, it being understood that said approved manufacturers may
      be located within or outside of the Territory.

Bottler shall inspect such Authorized Containers,  closures, cases, cartons, labels and
other packaging  materials and shall use only those items which comply  with the
standards established by applicable laws in  the Territory in addition to the standards
and  specifications prescribed by the Company. The Bottler  shall assume independent
responsibility in connection  with the use of such Authorized Containers, closures,
cases, cartons, labels and other packaging materials  which conform to such standards.




	 		(c) 	 The

	 	23. 	(a) 	The Bottler recognizes that increases
      in the demand for the Beverages, as well as changes in the list of Authorized

      in respect of its existing manufacturing, packaging, delivery, or vending
      equipment or require the purchase of additional manufacturing, packaging,
      delivery, or vending equipment. The Bottler agrees, therefore, to make such

      equipment as necessary with sufficient lead time to enable the introduction
      of new Authorized Containers and the preparation and packaging of the Beverages
      in accordance with the continuing obligations of the Bottler to

the event the Bottler uses returnable Authorized  Containers in the preparation and
packaging of all or  any of the Beverages, the Bottler agrees to invest  the necessary
capital and to appropriate and expend  such funds as may be required from time to time to

order to ensure  the continuing quality and appearance of the said  inventory of
returnable Authorized Containers, the  Bottler further agrees to replace all or part of
the  said inventory of returnable Authorized Containers as  may be reasonably necessary
and in accordance with  the obligations of the Bottler hereunder:




	 		(c) 	 The
Bottler agrees not to refill or otherwise reuse  any non-returnable Authorized Containers
that have  been previously used.




	 	24. 	 The
Bottler shall be solely responsible in the  carrying out of its obligations hereunder for
compliance with all regulations and laws applicable  in the Territory and shall inform
the Company  forthwith of any such provision which would prevent  or limit in any way the
strict compliance by the  Bottler with its obligations hereunder.

the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised price  in respect of the Beverage Base for
the Beverage  Coca-Cola, then the Bottler shall so notify the  Company in writing within
thirty (30) days from  receipt of the written notice from the Company  revising the
aforesaid price. In this event, this  Agreement shall terminate automatically three (3)
calendar months after receipt of the Bottler’s  notification.




	 		(e) 	 Except
as provided in subclause  (d) hereof in respect of the  Beverage  Base for the  Beverage
Coca-Cola,  if the Bottler is  unwilling  to pay the  revised  price in respect of the
Beverage  Base(s)  for any one or more of the other  Beverages,  then the Bottler shall
so notify the Company in writing  within thirty (30) days from receipt of  the written
notice from the Company revising the aforesaid price or prices.  In this event, the
Company,  in  its discretion and having regard to the present and prospective
circumstances  in the market,  shall either  (i) notify the Bottler in writing that the
Agreement  shall  terminate,  in which event this Agreement shall  terminate  three (3)
calendar  months after the date of the Company’s  notice of termination to the Bottler,
or (ii) notify the Bottler in writing that the Bottler’s  authorization in respect of
that Beverage or those  Beverages for which the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised
price is cancelled,  such cancellation to be  effective  three  (3)  calendar  months
after the date of the  Company’s  notice  of such  cancellation  of  authorization(s)  to
the Bottler.  In the event of the  cancellation  of an  authorization  of a Beverage or
Beverages pursuant to this subclause,  the provisions of Cause 30 shall apply in respect
of that Beverage or  those  Beverages,  and,  notwithstanding  any other provision of
this  Agreement,  the Company shall have no  further  obligation to the Bottler in
respect of that Beverage or those  Beverages for which  authorizations  have been
cancelled, and the Company shall be entitled to prepare, package,  distribute or sell, or
to grant  authorizations  to a third party to prepare,  package,  distribute or sell,
that Beverage or those Beverages  in the Territory.




	 		(f) 	 Any
failure on the part of the Bottler to notify the  Company in respect of the revised price
of any one or  more of the Beverage Bases pursuant to subclauses (d)  and (e) hereof
shall be deemed to be acceptance by  the Bottler of the revised price.




	 		(g) 	 The
Bottler undertakes to collect from or charge to  retail outlets for each returnable
Authorized  Container and each returnable case delivered to the  said retail outlets,
such deposits as the Company may  determine from time to time by giving written notice
to the Bottler, and to make all reasonably diligent  efforts to recover all empty
returnable Authorized  Containers and cases and, upon recovery, to refund or  to credit
the deposits for said returnable Authorized  Containers and cases returned undamaged and
in good  condition.

	 		 	(2) 	 If any part of this
      Agreement ceases to be in conformity with the laws or regulations applicable

      the production or distribution assets of the Bottler.




	 	29. 	 (a)
This Agreement may also be terminated by the  Company or the Bottler if the other party
fails to  observe any one or more of the terms, covenants, or  conditions of this
Agreement, and fails to remedy  such default(s) within sixty (60) days after such  party
has been given written notice of such  default(s).




	 		(b) 	 In
addition to all other remedies to which the Company may be entitled  hereunder,  if at
any time the Bottler fails to follow  the  instructions  or to maintain the standards
prescribed by the Company or required by applicable laws in  the  Territory  for the
preparation  of the Syrups or the  Beverages,  the Company  shall have the right to
prohibit  the  production  of the  Syrups or the  Beverages  until the  default  has been
corrected  to the  Company’s satisfaction,  and the Company may demand the withdrawal
from the trade, at the Bottler’s expense,  of any Beverages not in conformity with or not
manufactured in conformity with such instructions,  standards  or requirements,  and the
Bottler shall promptly comply with such  prohibition or demand.  During the period  of
such prohibition of production the Company shall be entitled to suspend  deliveries of
the Beverage Bases  to the Bottler and shall also be entitled to supply,  or to cause or
permit others to supply,  the Beverages  in Authorized  Containers in the Territory.  No
prohibition or demand shall be deemed a waiver of the rights  of the Company to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Clause.




	 	30. 	 Upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this  Agreement or upon cancellation of the
authorization  for a Beverage(s) and then only in respect of that  Beverage(s), as the
case may be

connection with the preparation,  packaging, distribution and sale of the Beverages;




	 	 	(a) 	the Bottler shall forthwith eliminate
      all references to the Company, the Beverages and the Trade Marks from the
      premises, delivery vehicles, vending and other equipment of the Bottler,
      and from all business stationery and all written, graphic, electromagnetic,
      digital or other promotional or advertising materials used or maintained
      by the Bottler, and the Bottler shall not thereafter hold forth in any manner
      whatsoever

	Exhibit 4.5






	 		 	that the Bottler has any connection with the
      Company, the Beverages or the Trade Marks;




	 		(c) 	 The
Bottler  shall  forthwith  deliver to the Company or a third party in  accordance  with
such  instructions  as the Company  shall give, all of the Beverage Bases,  Beverages in
Authorized  Containers,  usable  Authorized  Containers  bearing the Trade  Marks or any
of them,  cases,  closures,  labels,  packaging  materials  and  advertising  material
for the Beverages  still in the Bottler’s  possession or under its control,  and the
Company shall,  upon  delivery  thereof  pursuant to such  instructions,  pay to the
Bottler a sum equal to the  reasonable  market  value of such  supplies or  materials,
provided  that the Company will accept and pay for only such  supplies or materials as
are in first-class and usable  condition;  and provided further that all Authorized
Containers,  closures, labels, packaging materials and advertising materials bearing the
name of the Bottler  and any such supplies and materials  which are unfit for use
according to the Company’s  standards  shall be  destroyed by the Bottler  without  cost
to the Company;  and provided  further  that,  if this  Agreement is  terminated  in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Clauses  18 or  28(a)  or as a  result  of any of
the  contingencies  provided in Cause 35  (including  termination  by operation of law),
or if the  Agreement is  terminated  by the Bottler for any reason other than in
accordance  with or as a result of the operation of  Clauses 26 or 29, or upon the
cancellation of the authorization  for a Beverage(s)  pursuant to Clause 26(e)  or Clause
31, the  Company  shall have the  option,  but no  obligation,  to  purchase  from the
Bottler the  supplies and materials referred to above; and




	 		(d) 	 all
rights and obligations hereunder, whether  specifically set out or whether accrued or
accruing  by use, conduct or otherwise, shall expire, cease and  end, excepting all
provisions concerning the  obligations of the Bottler as set forth in Causes  13(b(2) and
(b(3), 14, 15, 16, 17(e), 19(a), 30,  36(a), (b), (c) and (d), and 37, all of which shall

any rights the  Company may have against the Bottler in respect of  any claim for
nonpayment of any debt or account owed  by the Bottler to the Company or its Authorized
Suppliers.




	 	31. 	 In
addition  to all other  remedies  of the  Company in respect of any  breach by the
Bottler of the terms,  covenants,  and  conditions of this Agreement and where such
breach relates only to the preparation,  packaging, distribution and sale  by the Bottler
of one or more but not all of the  Beverages  then the Company may elect to cancel the
authorizations  granted to the Bottler pursuant to this Agreement in respect only of that
Beverage or those  Beverages.  In the event  of the  cancellation  by the Company of
authorizations  to the Bottler  pursuant to this Clause,  the  provisions of  Clause 30
shall  apply in  respect  of that  Beverage  or those  Beverages,  and the  Company
shall  have no further  obligations  to the Bottler in respect of that Beverage or those
Beverages in respect of which  authorizations

	Exhibit 4.5












	 	 	 have been cancelled, and the Company shall be
      entitled to prepare, package, distribute or sell, or to grant authorizations
      to a third party in connection with the preparation, packaging, distribution
      and sale of that Beverage or those Beverages in the Territory.





	 VIII. 	 GENERAL PROVISIONS




	 	32. 	 It
is  recognized  and  acknowledged  between the parties  hereto  that the  Company has a
vested and  legitimate  interest in  maintaining,  promoting  and  safeguarding  the
overall  performance,  efficiency  and  integrity  of the  Company’s  international
bottling,  distribution,  and sales system.  It is further  recognized  and  acknowledged
between the  parties  hereto that this  Agreement has been entered into by the Company
intuitu  personae and in reliance upon the  identity,  character and integrity of the
owners,  controlling  parties, and managers of the Bottler, and the Bottler  warrants
having made to the Company prior to the execution  hereof a full and complete  disclosure
of the owners and  of any third parties  having a right to, or power of, control or
management of the Bottler.  The Bottler,  therefore,  covenants and agrees with the
Company:




	 		(a) 	 Not
to assign, transfer, pledge or in any way  encumber this Agreement or any interest herein
or  rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third  party or parties, without the
prior written consent  of the Company;




	 		(b) 	 Not
to delegate performance of this Agreement, in  whole or in part, to any third party or
parties,  without the prior written consent of the Company;




	 		(c) 	 To
notify the Company promptly in the event of or  upon obtaining knowledge of any third
party action  which may or will result in any change in the  ownership or control of the
Bottler;




	 		(d) 	 To
make available from time to time and at the  request of the Company complete records of
current  ownership of the Bottler and full information  concerning any third party or
third parties by whom  it is controlled directly or indirectly;




	 		(e) 	 To
the extent the Bottler has any legal control over  changes in the ownership or control of
the Bottler,  not to initiate or implement, consent to or acquiesce  in any such change
without the prior written consent  of the Company; and




	 		(f) 	 If
the Bottler is organized as a partnership, not to  change the composition of such
partnership by the  inclusion of any new partners or the release of  existing partners
without the prior written consent  of the Company.




	 	 	In
addition to the foregoing provisions of this Clause, if a  proposed change in ownership
or control of the Bottler  involves a direct or indirect transfer to or acquisition of
ownership or control of the Bottler, in whole or in part, by a  person or entity
authorized or licensed by the Company to  manufacture, sell, distribute or 







 
	Bottler’s Agreement Page
      16




 


 











	Exhibit 4.5









	 	 	otherwise deal in any beverage products and/or
      any trademarks of the Company (the “Acquiror Bottler”), the Company
      may request any and all information it considers relevant from both the
      Bottler and the Acquiror Bottler in order to make its determination as to
      whether to consent to such change. In any such circumstances, the parties
      hereto, recognizing and acknowledging the vested and legitimate interest
      of the Company in maintaining, promoting and safeguarding the overall performance,
      efficiency and integrity of the Company’s international bottling, distribution
      and sales system, expressly agree that the Company may consider all and
      any factors, and apply any criteria that it considers relevant in making
      such determination.




	 	 	It is further recognized and agreed between the
      parties hereto that the Company, in its sole discretion, may withhold consent
      to any proposed change in ownership or other transaction contemplated in
      this Clause 32, or may consent subject to such conditions as the Company,
      in its sole discretion, may determine. The parties hereto expressly stipulate
      and agree that any violation by the Bottler of the foregoing covenants contained
      in this Clause 32 shall entitle the Company to terminate this Agreement
      forthwith; and, furthermore, in view of the personal nature of this Agreement,
      that the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if any
      other third party or third parties should obtain any direct or indirect
      interest in the ownership or control of the Bottler, even when the Bottler
      had no means to prevent such a change, if, in the opinion of the Company,
      such change either enables such third party or third parties to exercise
      any influence over the management of the Bottler or materially alters the
      ability of the Bottler to comply fully with the terms, obligations and conditions
      of this Agreement.




	 	33. 	 The
Bottler  shall,  prior to the issue,  offer,  sale,  transfer,  trade or  exchange of any
of its shares of stock or other  evidence of ownership,  its bonds, debentures or other
evidence of indebtedness,  or the promotion of the sale of the  above, or stimulation or
solicitation of the purchase or an offer to sell thereof,  obtain the written consent of
the  Company  whenever the Bottler uses in this  connection the name of the Company or
the Trade Marks or any  description  of the business relationship with the Company in any
prospectus,  advertisement,  or other sales efforts. The Bottler  shall not use the name
of the Company or the Trade Marks or any  description  of the business  relationship
with the  Company in any prospectus or advertisement  used in connection with the
Bottler’s  acquisition of any shares or other  evidence of ownership in a third party
without the Company’s prior written approval.




	 	34. 	 The
Company may assign any of it rights and delegate all or any of its duties or  obligations
under this  Agreement to one or  more of its subsidiaries or related companies upon
written notice to the Bottler;  provided,  however,  that any such  delegation shall not
relieve the Company from any of its contractual  obligations under this Agreement.  In
addition,  the  Company  in its sole  discretion  may,  through  written  notice to the
Bottler,  appoint  a third  party as it  representative  to ensure that the Bottler
carries out its  obligations  under this  Agreement,  with full powers to  oversee the
Bottler’s  performance  and to require from the Bottler its 






 
	Bottler’s Agreement Page 17




 


 











	Exhibit 4.5








	 	 	compliance
with all the  terms and conditions  of this  Agreement.  The Company may change or
retract  such  appointment  at any time by written  notice sent to the  Bottler.




	 	35. 	 Neither
the Company nor the Bottler shall be liable  for failure to perform any of their
obligations  hereunder when such failure is caused by or results  from:




	 		(a) 	 Strike,
blacklisting, boycott or sanctions, however  incurred;




	 		(b) 	 Act
of God, force majeure, public enemies, authority  of law and/or legislative or
administrative measures  (including the withdrawal of any government  authorization
required by any of the parties to carry  out the terms of this Agreement), embargo,
quarantine, riot, insurrection, a declared or  undeclared war, state of war or
belligerency or  hazard or danger incident thereto; or




	 		(c) 	 Any
other cause whatsoever beyond their control.




	 	 	In
the event of the Bottler being unable to perform its  obligations as a consequence of any
of the contingencies set  forth in this Clause, and for the duration of such inability,
the Company and Authorized Suppliers shall be relieved of  their obligations under
Clauses 4 and 5; and provided that, if  any such failure by either party shall persist
for a period of  six (6) months or more, either of the parties hereto may  terminate this
Agreement.




	 	36.	(a) 	 The Company reserves the sole and
      exclusive right to institute any civil, administrative or criminal proceedings
      or action, and generally to take or seek any available legal remedy it deems
      desirable, for the protection of its reputation and industrial property
      rights as well as for the protection of the Beverage Bases, the Syrups and
      the Beverages and to defend any action affecting these matters. At the request
      of the Company, the Bottler will render assistance in any such action. The
      Bottler shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such
      proceedings or action or for any failure to institute or defend such proceedings
      or action. The Bottler shall promptly notify the Company of any litigation
      or proceedings instituted or threatened affecting these matters. The Bottler
      shall not institute any legal or administrative proceedings against any
      third party which may affect the interests of the Company without the prior
      written consent of the Company.




	 		(b) 	 The
Company has the sole and exclusive right and  responsibility to initiate and defend all
proceedings and  actions relating to the Trade Marks. The Company may initiate  or defend
any such proceedings or actions in its own name or  require the Bottler to institute or
defend such proceedings or  actions either in its own name or in the joint names of the
Bottler and the Company.






 
	Bottler’s Agreement Page 18




 


 











	Exhibit 4.5









	 		(c) 	 The
Bottler agrees to consult with the Company on all product  liability claims, proceedings
or actions brought against the  Bottler in connection with the Beverages or Authorized
Containers and to take such action with respect to the defense  of any such claim or
lawsuit as the Company may reasonably  request in order to protect the interest of the
Company in the  Beverages, the Authorized Containers or the goodwill  associated with the
Trade Marks.




	 		(d) 	 The
Bottler shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Its  affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors and  employees from and against all costs, expenses,
damages,  claims, obligations and liabilities whatsoever arising from  facts or
circumstances not attributable to the Company  including, but not limited to, all cost
and expenses incurred  in settling or compromising any of the same arising out of the
preparation, packaging, distribution, sale or promotion of the  Beverages by the Bottler,
including, but not limited to. all  costs arising out of the act or default, whether
negligent or  not, of the Bottler, the Bottler’s distributors, suppliers and  wholesalers.




	 		(e) 	 The
Bottler shall obtain and maintain a policy of insurance  with insurance carriers
satisfactory to the Company giving  full and comprehensive coverage both as to amount and
risks  covered in respect of matters referred to in subclause (d)  above (including the
indemnity contained therein) and shall on  request produce evidence satisfactory to the
Company of the  existence of such insurance. Compliance with this Clause 36(e)  shall not
limit or relieve the Bottler from its obligations  under Clause 36(d) hereof.




	 	37. 	 The
Bottler covenant and agrees with the Company.




	 		(a) 	 that
it will make no representations or disclosures to public  or government authorities or to
any other third party relating  to the Beverage Bases, the Syrups or the Beverages
without the  prior written consent of the Company;




	 		(b) 	 that
it will at all times, both during the continuance and  after termination of this
Agreement, keep strictly  confidential all secret and confidential information
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  mixing instructions and
techniques, sales, marketing and  distribution information, projects and plans relating
to the  subject matter of this Agreement which the Bottler may receive  from the Company
or in any other manner and to ensure that  such information shall be made known on a
need-to-know basis  only to those officers, directors and employees bound by  reasonable
provisions incorporating the nondisclosure and  secrecy obligations set out in this
Clause 37;







 
	Bottler’s Agreement Page 19




 


 











	Exhibit 4.5










	 		(c) 	 that
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this  Agreement the Bottler will make
necessary arrangements to  deliver to the Company in accordance with instructions as may
be given by the Company, all written, graphic,  electromagnetic, computerized, digital,
or other materials  comprising or containing any information subject to the  obligation
of confidence hereunder.




	 	38. 	 In
the event of any provisions of this Agreement being or  becoming legally ineffective or
invalid, the validity or  effect of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not
be affected; provided that the invalidity or ineffectiveness  of the said provisions
shall not prevent or unduly hamper  performance hereunder or prejudice the ownership or
validity  of the Trade Marks. The right to terminate in accordance with  Clause 28(a)(2)
is not affected hereby.




	 	39. 	(a) 	 All prior agreements of any kind
      whatsoever between these parties relating to the subject matter hereof being
      cancelled hereby save to the extent that the same may comprise agreements
      and other documents within the provisions of Clause 19 hereof; provided,
      however, that any written representations made by the Bottler upon which
      the Company relied in entering into this Agreement shall remain binding
      upon the Bottler.




	 		(b) 	 Any
waiver or modification of, or alteration or addition to,  this Agreement or any of it
provisions, shall not be binding  upon the Company or the Bottler unless the same shall
be  executed respectively by duly authorized representatives of  the Company and the
Bottler.




	 		(c) 	 All
written notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be  by cable telegram, telex, hand
delivery or registered mail and  shall be deemed to be given on the date such notice is
dispatched, such registered letter is mailed, or such hand  delivery is effected. Such
written notices shall be addressed  to the last known address of the party concerned. Any
change  of address by either of the parties hereto shall be promptly  notified in writing
to the other party.




	 	40. 	 Failure
of the Company to exercise promptly any right herein  granted, or to require strict
performance of any obligation  undertaken herein by the Bottler, shall not be deemed to
be a  waiver of such right or of the right to demand subsequent  performance of any and
all obligations herein undertaken by  the Bottler.




	 	41. 	 The
Bottler is an independent contractor and not the agent of  the Company. The Bottler
agrees that it will not represent  that it is an agent of the Company nor hold itself out
as  such.
