	EMBOTELLADORA Central, s. a. 

      Gentlemen:




	Reference is made to the Bottler’s Agreement between
      The Coca-Cola Company (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)
      and Embotelladora Central, S. A. (hereinafter referred to as “the Bottler”)
      effective as of March 18, 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”).




	In the course of our recent conversations, you requested
      the clarification of Clause 26 (b) of the Agreement, which the Company agreed
      to do as follows:




	 	With regard to maximum retail prices for the Beverages
      in Authorized Containers that may be established and revised by the Company,
      the Bottler will be under no obligation to enforce compliance by retailers
      with such maximum retail prices, but will suggest that retailers comply
      with those maximum retail prices.




	The Company will not seek to exercise the rights to establish
      maximum prices for the Beverages in Authorized Containers as provided for
      in Clause 26 (b) of the Agreement in a manner which would constrain Embotelladora
      Central, S. A. from fulfilling its long term obligations to its shareholders.




	Company and Bottler agree that all remaining clauses, terms
      and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force
      and effect.
