 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good

ARTICLE I 
 APPLICATION
OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 AND CREATION OF NOTES 

Section 1.01 Application of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture are expressly
and solely for the benefit of the Notes. The Notes constitute a separate series of notes as provided in Section 301 of the Indenture. 







 Section 1.02 Effect of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 

With respect to the Notes only, the Indenture shall be supplemented pursuant to Sections 201, 301 and 901 thereof to establish the terms of
the Notes as set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture, including as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The definitions set forth in Section 101 of the Indenture shall be modified to the extent provided in Article II of this Second Supplemental Indenture; and 


 

	 	(b)	The form and terms of the securities representing the Notes required to be established pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture shall be established in accordance with Sections 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06 and 1.07
of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 

 Section 1.03 Designation and Amount of Notes. 

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “3.800% Senior Notes due 2025.” The initial maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Second Supplemental Indenture shall not exceed $350,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Notes pursuant to
Sections 204, 304, 305, 306 or 906 of the Indenture; provided that the Company may from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue Securities (“Additional Notes”) having the same
terms (except for the issue date and, in some cases, the public offering price and the first interest payment date) as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes in all respects. Any Additional Notes, together with the Notes, shall constitute
a single series of Securities for purposes of the Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 1.04 Terms; Form of Security. 

The Notes initially will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes are
issuable in fully registered, book-entry form by one or more global notes without coupons and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, which will be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”), and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC shall be the Depositary with respect to the Notes. The Notes are not issuable in bearer form. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note shall constitute,
and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Company, by its execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereto. Any of the Notes
may have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted hereby and by the Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed
thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange, DTC, any organizational document or governing instrument or applicable law or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as
evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Each global note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and 

  
 2 








 
each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the
reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note. 
 Section 1.05 Payment of Principal and Interest. 

(a) The Notes shall mature, and the principal of the Notes shall be due and payable in U.S. Dollars to the Holders thereof, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on November 25, 2025 (the Stated Maturity of principal of the Notes). 
 (b) The Notes shall bear
interest at the rate of 3.800% per annum from and including November 25, 2015, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (defined below) on which interest has been paid or provided for until the principal thereof becomes due and
payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears in U.S. Dollars on May 25 and November 25 of each year, commencing on May 25, 2016 (each
such date, an “Interest Payment Date” for the purposes of the Notes under this Second Supplemental Indenture). Payments of interest shall be made to the Person in whose name a Note (or predecessor Note) is registered (which shall
initially be the Depositary) at the close of business on the May 10 or November 10, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date” for the purposes of the Notes under
this Second Supplemental Indenture). 
 (c) For so long as the Notes are represented by one or more global notes, all payments of principal
and interest shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global notes representing such Notes. In the event that
definitive Notes shall have been issued, all payments of principal and interest shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to the accounts of the registered Holders thereof; provided, that the
Company may elect to make such payments at the office of the Paying Agent in New York City; and provided, further, that the Company may at its option pay interest by check to the registered address of each Holder of a definitive Note. 

(d) The Notes shall trade in the Depositary’s same-day funds settlement system until Stated Maturity (or until they are subject to
acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture) and secondary market trading activity in the Notes may be required by the Depositary to settle in immediately available funds. 

(e) The Notes are subject to redemption by the Company in whole or in part in the manner described herein. 

  
 3 








 Section 1.06 Ranking. 

The Notes shall be the Company’s unsecured obligations and will rank equally and ratably with the Company’s existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. 
 Section 1.07 Sinking Fund. 

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

Indenture, the definition in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern with respect to the Notes. 
 “Acquiring
Person” means any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than (a) the Company or one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (b) The Coca-Cola Company or one or more of its
Subsidiaries or (c) J. Frank Harrison, III or one or more Harrison Family Members. 
 “Change of Control” means
the occurrence of any one of the following: 
 (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than
by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ assets taken as a whole to any Acquiring Person; 

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Acquiring
Person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of
shares; 
 (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Acquiring Person, or any Acquiring Person consolidates with, or
merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity or the Voting Equity of such other Acquiring Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or
other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Equity outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity of the
surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 

  
 4 








 (4) the first day on which the majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors
ceases to be Continuing Directors; 
 (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; or 

(6) the consummation of a so-called “going private/Rule 13e-3 transaction” that results in any of the effects described in paragraph
(a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision), following which J. Frank Harrison, III or any Harrison Family Members beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Equity, measured
by voting power rather than number of shares. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of
Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Equity of such holding company immediately following that
transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Equity immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of
this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Equity of such holding company. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies on any
date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change
of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). Unless both of the Rating Agencies
are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change
of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s board of directors who: (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date the 

  
 5 








 
Notes were issued; or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such board of directors by or with the approval (given either before or after such member’s election or
appointment) of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment.

the case of a trust, a majority of the trustees are Harrison Family Individuals, and in the case of any other person, one or more Harrison Family Individuals is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, of such person. 

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of
Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P). 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 “Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate

Exchange Act, will be selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (ii) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
(iii) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a
primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (iv) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the
Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption
date, the average, as determined by the Company, 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at

securities or other ownership interests having the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions of such entity are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such person or one or more
Subsidiaries of such person; provided, however, that Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary of the Company so long as it owns greater than a 50% economic interest therein. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the
Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

Equity” of any specified person as of any date means the securities or other ownership interests of such person that are at the same time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person or other persons

 (Reverse of Note) 

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED 

3.800% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2025 
 1.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 3.800% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of July 20, 1994, as amended, supplemented and restated by the
Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 1995 (herein called, together with the Second Supplemental Indenture referred to below and all other indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor trustee to NationsBank of Georgia, National Association and Citibank, N.A. (pursuant to an Agreement of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance dated January 15, 2007)), as trustee (the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee thereto with respect to the Notes under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made 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. 

2. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350,000,000, which
amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Notes of this series, as specified in the Second Supplemental Indenture among the Company and the Trustee and as Security
Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Notes, dated as of November 25, 2015, establishing the form and certain terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). References herein to “this
series” mean the series of Notes designated on the face hereof. 
 3. The Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any
time prior to August 25, 2025 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 principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed from the redemption date to the maturity date discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to
the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. 
 The Company will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but
excluding, the redemption date. The Company will calculate the Redemption Price. 







 In addition, at any time on or after August 25, 2025, the Company may redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company will calculate the Redemption Price.

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes 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. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of all such quotations; or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (ii) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and (iii) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined herein) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, (or their respective affiliates
that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company
will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (iv) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average,
as determined by the Company, 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption
date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term, yields for the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 

Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption pursuant to this paragraph 3 hereof 







 
will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date. 

4. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of
this Note, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to the date of purchase. The Change of Control Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture. 

5. If an Acceleration Event with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all Notes due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. An “Acceleration Event” is an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization of the Company as more specifically defined by the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration and its consequences may, in certain events, be annulled by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes. 
 6. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof 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 specified percentages 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. 

7. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

8. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the
Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in New York, New York, or at such other office or agency as may be established by the
Company for such purpose pursuant to the 







 
Indenture (initially the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York, New York), duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, and duly 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 book-entry 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, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 12. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall be
payable to and excluding any Interest Payment Date. 
 13. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

14. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent. 

15. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by
the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUT (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

16. Each Holder of this Note covenants and agrees by such Holder’s acceptance thereof to comply with and be bound by the foregoing
provisions. 
 17. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated.
