     Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption at any time or
from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at a redemption price (the
“Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:




	 	(i)	 	100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes
to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis
points,




plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.




     Section 3.02 Notices to Trustee.



     If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Article III, it shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.



     The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section upon not later
than the earlier of 45 days before the redemption date or the date on which notice is given to the
Holders (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period). Such notice shall be accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein and
in the Indenture.



     Section 3.03 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.



     If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall, subject to applicable law,
select the Notes to be redeemed as follows: (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities
exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on
which the Notes are listed; or (2) on a pro rata basis, if the Notes are not listed on any national
securities exchange.



     The Trustee shall make the selection of Notes to be redeemed from outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption. Provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture that apply to
the Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of the Notes called for redemption. The
Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed.

     Section 3.04 Notice of Redemption.



     At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date of the Notes, the
Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of the Notes to be
redeemed at such Holder’s registered address.



     The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:




     (a) the redemption date;




     (b) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;




     (c) the name and address of the Paying Agent;




     (d) that the Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the Redemption Price;




     (e) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers
and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;




     (f) if the Notes are to be redeemed in part, upon surrender of such Notes, the Holder
will receive, without charge, a new Note for the principal amount remaining unredeemed;




     (g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying
Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of the Indenture,
interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date;




     (h) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and




     (i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.



     At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the
information required by this Section.



     Section 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption.



     Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, plus accrued
interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided, however, that installments of interest on the
Notes that are due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption
date will be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of
business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms of the Notes



12









 




and the Indenture. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not
affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.




     Section 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.



     Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with
the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that
date.



     Section 3.07 Notes Redeemed in Part.



     Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company and the Guarantors shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note
equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Notes surrendered.



ARTICLE IV




CHANGE OF CONTROL



     Section 4.01 Change of Control.



     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been
called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to an integral multiple of $1,000) of such
Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase
(the “Change of Control Payment”).



     (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s
option, prior to any proposed Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed
Change of Control, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice (a “Change of
Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and
specifying:




     (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.01 and
that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;




     (ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day
no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”);




     (iii) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes;




     (iv) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;



13









 






     (v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment,
all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue
interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;




     (vi) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified
in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change
of Control Payment Date;




     (vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election referred to in clause
(vi) if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or
letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for
purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes
purchased;




     (viii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
unpurchased portion will be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof; and




     (ix) if the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of
Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering
Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.



     (c) The Company shall cause the Change of Control Offer to remain open for at least 20
Business Days or such longer period as is required by applicable law. The Company shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 4.01, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.01 by virtue of such conflict.



     (d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:




     (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer;




     (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and




     (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together
with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of
Notes being purchased by the Company.



14









 





     (e) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change
of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to
be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will
publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Payment Date.



     (f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.01 applicable
to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 4.01, if an Event of Default exists under the Indenture (which is unrelated to the
repurchase provisions of this Section 4.01), including Events of Default arising with respect to
other series of Securities, the Company shall not be required to repurchase the Notes.



ARTICLE V




COVENANTS



     The covenants set forth in this Article V shall be applicable to the Company in addition to

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume, or
guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on any Capital Stock or
Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Company owning any Principal Property, owned or acquired by
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, without effectively providing that the outstanding
Notes and the Securities Guarantees (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other
Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not
subordinate to the Notes or the Securities Guarantees) shall be secured equally and ratably with
(or prior to) such secured Indebtedness so long as such secured Indebtedness shall be so secured.
The foregoing restrictions do not apply to:



     (a) Permitted Encumbrances;



     (b) Liens on any asset or property at the date of the indenture, provided that,




     (i) such Liens shall not apply to any other property or asset of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company (other than the proceeds or products of the property or asset
originally subject to such Liens), and



15









 






     (ii) such Liens shall secure only those obligations which it secures on the date of the
Indenture and extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase the
outstanding principal amount thereof;



     (c) Liens on any asset or property of any corporation or other Person at the time such
corporation or other Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or is merged with or into or
consolidated with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, provided that,




     (i) such Liens were in existence prior to such corporation or other Person becoming a
Subsidiary of the Company or such merger or consolidation and shall not apply to any other
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than the proceeds
or products of the property or asset originally subject to such Liens), and




     (ii) such Liens shall secure only those obligations which it secures on the date that
such corporation or other Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or the date of such
merger or consolidation, and




     (iii) extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase the
outstanding principal amount thereof;



     (d) Liens securing Indebtedness of




     (i) a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or a Guarantor,




     (ii) the Company to a Guarantor, or




     (iii) a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor;



     (e) Liens on any property or asset to secure the payment of all or any part of the Capital
Lease Obligations or purchase price of such property or asset upon the acquisition or lease of such
property or asset by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or to secure any Indebtedness
incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 270 days after, the later of the date of acquisition
or lease of such property or asset and the date such property or assets is placed in service, for
the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or Capital Lease Obligations
with respect thereto, or Liens to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing the
cost to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company of construction, alteration or improvement to
such acquired property or asset;



     (f) Liens securing industrial revenue bonds, pollution control bonds or other similar
tax-exempt bonds;



     (g) any other Liens incidental to construction or maintenance of real property of the Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company which were not incurred in connection with borrowing money or
obtaining advances or credits or the acquisition of property or assets and in the aggregate do not
materially impair the use of any property or assets or which are being contested in good faith by
the Company or such Subsidiary; or



16









 





     (h) any extension, renewal or replacement (including successive extensions, renewals or
replacements), as a whole or in part, of any of the Liens enumerated in clauses (a) through (g)
above; provided, however, that




     (i) such extension, renewal or replacement Liens are limited to all or part of the same
property or asset that secured the Liens extended, renewed, or replaced (plus improvements
on such property or asset) and




     (ii) the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by such Liens at such time is not
increased.



     Section 5.02 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.



     The Company shall not directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any Subsidiary directly or
indirectly to, engage in the sale or transfer of any Principal Property to a Person and the taking
back by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, of a lease of such Principal
Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:



     (a) such transaction was entered into prior to date of the Indenture;



     (b) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company by any one of its
Subsidiaries;



     (c) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years;



     (d) such transaction occurs within six months from the date of acquisition of the subject
Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations
of such Principal Property, whichever is later;



     (e) the Company or such Subsidiary under Sections 6.01(a) through (h) of this Second
Supplemental Indenture may incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such sale and
leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or



     (f) the Company or a Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of
such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business
or to the retirement of Funded Debt within 270 days before or after the effective date of any such
sale and leaseback transaction; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of
Funded Debt, the Company or a Subsidiary may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation, such
Notes to be credited to the amount of net proceeds from the sale of such property or assets at the
cost of acquisition of such Notes to the Company or such Subsidiary.



     Section 5.03 Exceptions.



     Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of this Second
Supplemental Indenture on Indebtedness secured by Lien and sale and leaseback transactions,
respectively, the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness
secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any
Subsidiary of the Company owning any Principal Property, or engage in the



17









 




sale or transfer of any Principal Property and the leaseback of such Principal Property by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that at the time of such restricted transaction, and
after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens on
any Principal Property or on any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Company
owning any Principal Property, together with the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt outstanding
in respect of sale and leaseback transactions does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets of
the Company.

     DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”), for value

January 11, 2011, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2011 (each an

whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on

     1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its
2.900% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000
issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2009, between the Company and
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor
Trustee under the Indenture), and the second supplemental indenture, dated as of January 11, 2011
(the “Base Indenture,” as so supplemented and as it may be further supplemented or amended from
time to time, is herein referred to as the “Indenture”), between the Company, the guarantors named
therein and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The indebtedness of the
Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon (including
post-default interest), will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company
and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s current and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness.



     2. The Notes are subject to redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part,
at the Company’s option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:




     (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and




     (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes to
be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points,


plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.




     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent
Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.



     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker
obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of these
quotations.

banking firm selected by the Company that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the
bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference
Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such
redemption date.



     “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining
scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the
related redemption date for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is
not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled
interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such
redemption date.



     “Treasury Rate” means, for any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity, computed as the second business day immediately preceding that
redemption date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price
for that redemption date.

include, among other things set forth in the Indenture, the redemption date, the Redemption Price,
the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, and the name and address of the
Paying Agent.



     3. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been
called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to an integral multiple of
$1,000) of such Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase.

and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

currency, herein prescribed.



     8. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the

this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or

executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



     9. The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$2,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the
Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of Notes in authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.



     10. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.



     11. Prior to the due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer or exchange, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,

of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Securities Guarantees or for any claim based
