granted; the number of shares to be subject to each Option and SAR; the duration

conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without
limitation, the Company, its Related Companies, the Committee, the Board,

    Section 5.

available from authorized and unissued KO Common Stock or from the Company's
treasury shares. The total number of shares of KO Common Stock that may be
issued or transferred under the Plan pursuant to Options or SARs granted
thereunder may not exceed 120,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as described
below); provided, however, that in no event shall the number of shares of KO
Common Stock that may be issued, transferred or sold under the Plan exceed 5% of

    a given
date. Such number of shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 5 and Section 11.

    

    (b)  Shares
Counted Against Limitation.  If an  Option is exercised by
delivery, sale or attestation of  Shares of KO Common Stock under
Section 7, or if the tax withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding or
selling Shares of KO Common Stock under Section 7, the number of Shares of KO
Common Stock deemed to have been issued under the Plan (for purposes of the
limitation set forth in this section) shall be the number of Shares of KO Common
Stock that were subject to the Option or portion thereof so exercised and not
the net number of Shares of KO Common Stock actually issued upon such
exercise.

    

    (c)  Lapsed
Awards.  If an Option: (i) expires; (ii) is terminated, surrendered,
or canceled without having been exercised in full; or (iii) is otherwise
forfeited in whole or in part, then the unissued Shares of KO Common Stock that
were subject to such Option and/or such surrendered, canceled, or forfeited
Shares of KO Common Stock shall become available for future grant under the
Plan.

     

    Section 6.
Eligibility

     

            Options
and/or SARs may be granted to:

     

    (a)
employees of the Company and its Majority-Owned Related Companies,

    

    (b)  particular
employee(s) of a Related Company, who within the past eighteen (18) months
were employee(s) of the Company or a Majority-Owned Related Company, and in rare
instances to be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion, employees of
a Related Company who have not been employees of the Company or a Majority-Owned
Related Company within the past eighteen (18) months, and

    

    (c)
consultants providing key services to the Company or its Related Companies
(provided that consultants are natural persons and are not former employees of
the Company or any Related Company, and that consultants shall be eligible to
receive only NSOs and shall not be eligible to receive ISOs).

     

    Effective
January 1, 2008, Options and SARs may not be granted to any individual described
in Section 6(b) or 6(c).   No person shall be granted the right
to acquire, pursuant to Options or SARs granted under the Plan, more than 5% of
the aggregate number of shares of KO Common Stock originally authorized under the Plan, as adjusted pursuant to Section 11. No
option or SAR shall be exercisable unless the employee properly, timely and
unconditionally executes (by any means approved by the plan administrator) a
stock option agreement provided in connection with the stock option or SAR
award.

     

    Section 7.
Awards of Options and SARs

     

            Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, Options and SARs granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

     

     

    4

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (a)   Option
Price and Exercise Price. The option price (for NSOs and ISOs) and the exercise
price (for SARs) shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the KO
Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair market value of a share of KO Common
Stock shall be the average of the high and low market prices at which a share of
KO Common Stock shall have been sold on the date of grant, or on the next
preceding trading day if such date was not a trading date, as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing. If necessary to comply
with foreign laws, the Committee may, at its sole discretion, grant Options and
SARs at an option price or exercise price less than 100% of the fair market
value of the KO Common Stock on the date of grant.

     

    (b)   Payment
of Option Price. The option price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise,
except as provided in the next sentence. If an exercise is executed by the plan
administrator using the cashless method, the exercise price shall be paid in
full no later than the close of business on the third Business Day following the
exercise.

     

    Payment
may be in cash or, upon conditions established by the Committee, by delivery of
shares of KO Common Stock owned by the optionee for at least six (6) months
prior to the date of exercise.

     

    The
optionee, if a U.S. taxpayer, may elect to satisfy Federal, state and local
income tax liabilities due by reason of the exercise by the withholding of
shares of KO Common Stock.

     

    If shares
are delivered to pay the option price or if shares are withheld for U.S.
taxpayers to satisfy such tax liabilities, the value of the shares delivered or
withheld shall be computed on the basis of the reported market price at which a
share of KO Common Stock most recently traded prior to the time the exercise
order was processed. Such price will be determined by reference to the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing.

     

    (c)   Exercise
May Be Delayed until Withholding is Satisfied. The Company may refuse to
recognize the exercise of an Option or SAR if the optionee has not made
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy the tax withholding which
the Company determines is necessary to comply with applicable
requirements.

     

    (d)   Duration
of Options and SARs. The duration of Options and SARs shall be determined by the
Committee, but in no event shall the duration of an Option or SAR exceed ten
years from the date of its grant.

     

    (e)   Vesting.
Options and SARs shall contain such vesting terms as are determined by the
Committee, at its sole discretion, including, without limitation, vesting upon
the achievement of certain specified performance targets. In the event that no
vesting determination is made by the Committee, Options and SARs shall vest as
follows: (1) 25% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant;
(2) 25% on the second anniversary of the date of the grant; (3) 25% on
the third anniversary of the date of the grant; and (4) 25% on the fourth
anniversary of the date of the grant.

    (f)    Other Terms and Conditions.
Options and SARs may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time
to time; provided, however, that, except in the event of a Change in Control,
Disability or death of the optionee, no grant shall provide that an Option or
SAR shall be exercisable in whole or in part for a period of twelve
(12) months from the date on which the Option or SAR is granted. The grant
of an Option or SAR to any employee shall not affect in any way the right of the
Company and any Related Company to terminate the employment of such employee.
The grant of an Option or SAR to any consultant shall not affect in any way the
right of the Company and any Related Company to terminate the services of such
consultant.

     

    (g)   ISOs.
The Committee, with respect to each grant of an Option to an optionee, shall
determine whether such Option shall be an ISO, and, upon determining that an
Option shall be an ISO, shall designate it as such in the written instrument
evidencing such Option. If the written instrument evidencing an Option does not
contain a designation that it is an ISO, it shall not be an ISO.

     

    The
aggregate fair market value (determined in each instance on the date on which an
ISO is granted) of the KO Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first
exercisable by any optionee in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 for
such optionee (or such other time limit as may be required by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). If any subsidiary or Majority-Owned Related
Company of the Company shall adopt a stock option plan under which options
constituting ISOs may be granted, the fair market value of the stock on which
any such incentive stock options are granted and the times at which such
incentive stock options will first become exercisable shall be taken into
account in determining the maximum amount of ISOs which may be granted to the
optionee under this Plan in any calendar year.

     

    Section 8.
Nontransferability of Options and SARs

     

            No
Option or SAR granted pursuant to the Plan shall be transferable otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of an
optionee, the Option or SAR shall be exercisable only by the optionee personally
or by the optionee's legal representative.

Changes of Employment or Employee Status, Death, or a Change in
Control

      expiration date that applied at the date of
  death.

            

    

     

    In the
case of other leaves of absence not specified above, optionees will be deemed to
have terminated employment (so that Options and SARs unvested will expire and
the option/SAR exercise period will end on the earlier of 6 months from the
date the leave began or the option expiration date provided in the grant),
unless the Committee identifies a valid business interest in doing otherwise, in
which case it may, specify what provisions it deems appropriate at its sole
discretion; provided that the Committee shall have no obligation to consider any
such matters.

     

    (b)   For
Consultants. For optionees who are consultants, the provisions relating to
changes of work assignment, death, disability, Change in Control, or any other
provision of an Option or SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the date
of the grant.

     

    (c)   Committee
Retains Discretion To Establish Different Terms Than Those Provided in Sections
9(a) or 9(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Committee may, at
its sole discretion, establish different terms and conditions pertaining to the
effect of an optionee's termination on the expiration or exercisability of
Options and SARs at the time of grant or (with the consent of the affected
optionee) on the expiration or exercisability of outstanding Options and SARs.
However, no Option or SAR can have a term of more than fifteen
years.

     

    Section 10.
No Rights as a Shareowner

     

            An
optionee or a transferee of an optionee pursuant to Section 8 shall have no
right as a shareowner with respect to any KO Common Stock covered by an Option
or SAR or receivable upon the exercise of an Option or SAR, until the optionee
or transferee shall have become the holder of record of such KO Common Stock. No
adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or other
distributions or rights in respect to such KO Common Stock covered by any Option
or SAR for which the record date is prior to the date on which the optionee or
transferee shall have in fact become the holder.

     

    Section 11. Adjustment in the Number of Shares and in
Option and Exercise Price

     

            In
the event there is any change in the shares of KO Common Stock through the
declaration of stock dividends, or stock splits, or through recapitalization or
merger or consolidation or combination of shares or spin-offs or otherwise, the
Committee or the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of
shares of KO Common Stock available for Options and SARs as well as the number
of shares of KO Common Stock subject to any outstanding Option or SAR and the
Option price or exercise price thereof. Any such adjustment may provide for the

    Section 12.
Amendments, Modifications and Termination of the Plan

     

            The
Board or the Committee may terminate the Plan at any time. From time to time,
the Board or the Committee may suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. From time
to time, the Board or the Committee may amend the Plan, in whole or in part,
including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify
the Options or SARs under the laws of various countries (including tax laws) and
under rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to optionees who are subject to the provisions of
Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or to correct any defect or supply an omission
or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option or SAR granted
thereunder, or for any other purpose or to any effect permitted by applicable
laws and regulations, without the approval of the shareowners of the Company.
However, in no event may additional shares of KO Common Stock be allocated to
the Plan or any outstanding option or SAR be repriced or replaced without
share-owner approval. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board or the Committee
may make amendments applicable or inapplicable only to participants who are
subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act.

     

            No
amendment or termination or modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect
any Option or SAR theretofore granted without the consent of the optionee,
except that the Committee may amend or modify the Plan in a manner that does
affect Options and SARs theretofore granted upon a finding by the Committee that
such amendment or modification is in the best interest of holders of outstanding
Options and SARs affected thereby. Grants of ISOs may be made under this Plan
until April 17, 2012 or such earlier date as this Plan is terminated, and
grants of NSOs and SARs may be made until all of the 120,000,000 shares of KO
Common Stock authorized for issuance hereunder (adjusted as provided in Sections
5 and 11) have been issued or until this Plan is terminated, whichever
first occurs. The Plan shall terminate when there are no longer Options or SARs
outstanding under the Plan, unless earlier terminated by the Board or by the
Committee.

     

    Section 13.
Governing Law

     

    Except to
extent preempted by Federal Law, this Plan shall be construed, governed and
enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the
conflicts of law principles thereof) and any and all disputes arising under this
Plan are to be resolved exclusively by courts sitting in Delaware.

    Section

    The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. No person, other than members of the Committee, shall have any
discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan. The Committee shall

subject to each Option; the duration of each Option; the time or times within
which the Option may be exercised; the cancellation of the Option (with the
consent of the holder thereof); and the other conditions of the grant of the
Option, at grant or while outstanding, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The

each optionee or with respect to each Option.

    

    The Committee may, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, establish such rules and regulations as it deems
necessary, or advisable, for the proper administration of the Plan, and may make
determinations and may take such other action in connection with or in relation
to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Each determination or other
action made or taken pursuant to the Plan, including interpretation of the Plan
and the specific conditions and provisions of the Options granted hereunder by
the Committee, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all
persons including, but without limitation, the Company, its Related Companies,

respective successors in interest of any of the foregoing.

    

    Section
5.   Stock

    

    (a) The KO
Common Stock to be issued, transferred and/or sold under the Plan shall be made
available from authorized and unissued KO Common Stock or from the Company’s
treasury shares. The total number of shares of KO Common Stock that may be
issued or transferred under the Plan pursuant to Options granted thereunder may
not exceed 140,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as described below);
provided, however, that in no event shall the number of shares of KO Common
Stock that may be issued, transferred or sold under the Plan exceed 5% of the
number of shares of KO Common Stock outstanding on a given date.  Such
number of shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
10.

    

    (b) Shares
Counted Against Limitation.  If an  Option is exercised by
delivery, sale or attestation of  Shares of KO Common Stock under
Section 6, or if the tax withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding or
selling Shares of KO Common Stock under Section 6, the number of Shares of KO
Common Stock deemed to have been issued under the Plan (for purposes of the
limitation set forth in this section) shall be the number of Shares of KO

Common Stock that were subject to the Option or portion thereof so
exercised and not the net number of shares of KO Common Stock actually issued
upon such exercise.

    
 

    
      
         

      

      
        -3-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (c) Lapsed
Awards.  If an Option: (i) expires; (ii) is terminated, surrendered,
or canceled without having been exercised in full; or (iii) is otherwise
forfeited in whole or in part, then the unissued shares of KO Common Stock that
were subject to such Option and/or such surrendered, canceled, or forfeited
Shares of KO Common Stock shall become available for future grant under the
Plan.

    

    Section
6.   Awards of Options

    

    Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Plan, Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

    

    (a)  Option Price. The option
price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the KO Common Stock
on the date of grant. The fair market value of a share of KO Common Stock shall
be the average of the high and low market prices at which a share of KO Common
Stock shall have been sold on the date of grant, or on the next preceding
trading day if such date was not a trading date, as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing.

    

    (b)  Payment of Option
Price.   The option price shall be paid in full at the time of
exercise, except as provided in the next two sentences.  The cashless
exercise method is permitted for any Options granted under this Plan, unless
prohibited by law in a particular jurisdiction.  If an exercise is
executed by the plan administrator using the cashless method, the exercise price
shall be paid in full no later than the close of business on the third Business
Day following the exercise.

    

    Payment may be in cash or, upon
conditions established by the Committee, by delivery of shares of KO Common
Stock owned by the optionee for at least six months prior to the date of
exercise.

    

    The optionee, if a U.S. taxpayer, may
elect to satisfy Federal, state and local income tax liabilities due by reason
of the exercise by the withholding of shares of KO Common Stock.

    

    If shares are delivered to pay the
option price or if shares are withheld for U.S. taxpayers to satisfy such tax
liabilities, the value of the shares delivered or withheld shall be computed on
the basis of the reported market price at which a share of KO Common Stock most
recently traded prior to the time the exercise order was processed. Such price
will be determined by reference to the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Transactions listing.

    

    (c)  Exercise May Be Delayed
until Withholding is Satisfied.   The Company may refuse to
recognize the exercise of an Option if the optionee has not made arrangements
satisfactory to the Company to satisfy the tax withholding that the Company
determines is necessary to comply with applicable requirements.

     

     

    
 

    
      
         

      

      
        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (d)  Duration of
Options.  The duration of Options shall be determined by the
Committee, but in no event shall the duration of an Option exceed ten years from
the date of its grant.

    

    (e) Vesting.  Options shall
contain such vesting terms as are determined by the Committee, at its sole
discretion, including, without limitation, vesting upon the achievement of
certain specified performance targets.  In the event that no vesting
determination is made by the Committee, Options shall vest as follows: (1) 25%
on the first anniversary of the date of the grant; (2) 25% on the second
anniversary of the date of the grant; (3) 25% on the third anniversary of the
date of the grant; and (4) 25% on the fourth anniversary of the date of the
grant.

    

    (f)  Other Terms and
Conditions.   Options may contain such other provisions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine
appropriate from time to time; provided, however, that, except in the event of a
Change in Control, Disability or death of the optionee, no grant shall provide
that an Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part for a period of twelve
months from the date on which the Option is granted. The grant of an Option to
any employee shall not affect in any way the right of the Company and any
Related Company to terminate the employment of such employee.

    

    (g)  ISOs.   The
Committee, with respect to each grant of an Option to an optionee, shall
determine whether such Option shall be an ISO, and, upon determining that an
Option shall be an ISO, shall designate it as such in the written instrument
evidencing such Option. If the written instrument evidencing an Option does not
contain a designation that it is an ISO, it shall not be an ISO.

    

    The aggregate fair market value
(determined in each instance on the date on which an ISO is granted) of the KO
Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by any optionee in
any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 for such optionee (or such other
time limit as may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
If any subsidiary or Majority-Owned Related Company of the Company shall adopt a
stock option plan under which options constituting ISOs may be granted, the fair
market value of the stock on which any such incentive stock options are granted
and the times at which such incentive stock options will first become
exercisable shall be taken into account in determining the maximum amount of
ISOs which may be granted to the optionee under this Plan in any calendar
year.

    

    Section
7.   Nontransferability of Options

    

    No Option granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  During the lifetime of an optionee, the Option shall be
exercisable only by the optionee personally or by the optionee’s legal
representative.

    In the case of other leaves of absence
not specified above, optionees will be deemed to have terminated employment (so
that Options unvested will expire and the option exercise period will end on the
earlier of six months from the date the leave began or the option expiration
date provided in the grant), unless the Committee identifies a valid business
interest in doing otherwise, in which case it may specify what provisions it
deems appropriate at its sole discretion; provided that the Committee shall have
no obligation to consider any such matters.

    

    (b)           Committee
Discretion to Establish Different Terms.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, the Committee may, at its sole discretion, establish
different terms and conditions pertaining to the effect of an optionee’s
termination on the expiration or exercisability of Options at the time of grant
or (with the consent of the affected optionee) on the expiration or
exercisability of outstanding Options.  However, no Option can have a
term of more than ten years.

    

    Section
9.   No Rights as a Shareowner

    

    An optionee or a transferee of an
optionee pursuant to Section 7 shall have no right as a shareowner with respect
to any KO Common Stock covered by an Option or receivable upon the exercise of
an Option, until the optionee or transferee shall have become the holder of
record of such KO Common Stock.  No adjustments shall be made for
dividends in cash or other property or other distributions or rights in respect
to such KO Common Stock covered by any Option for which the record date is prior
to the date on which the optionee or transferee shall have in fact become the
holder.

    

    Section
10.   Adjustment in the Number of Shares and in Option and
Exercise Price

    

    In the event there is any change in the
shares of KO Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, or stock
splits, or through recapitalization or merger or consolidation or combination of
shares or spin-offs or otherwise, the Committee or the Board shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of KO Common Stock available for
Options as well as the number of shares of KO Common Stock subject to any
outstanding Option and the Option price thereof. Any such adjustment may provide
for the elimination of any fractional shares, which might otherwise become
subject to any Option, without payment therefor.

    Section
11.   Amendments, Modifications and Termination of the
Plan

    

    The Board or the Committee may
terminate the Plan at any time. From time to time, the Board or the Committee
may suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. From time to time, the Board or the
Committee may amend the Plan, in whole or in part, including the adoption of
amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify the Options under the laws
of various countries (including tax laws) and under rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to optionees
who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or to correct
any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or
in any Option granted thereunder, or for any other purpose or to any effect
permitted by applicable laws and regulations, without the approval of the
shareowners of the Company. However, in no event may additional shares of KO
Common Stock be allocated to the Plan or any outstanding option be repriced or
replaced without shareowner approval. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board
or the Committee may make amendments applicable or inapplicable only to
participants who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act.

    

    No amendment or termination or
modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Option theretofore
granted without the consent of the optionee, except that the Committee may amend
or modify the Plan in a manner that does affect Options theretofore granted upon
a finding by the Committee that such amendment or modification is in the best
interest of holders of outstanding Options affected thereby. Grants of ISOs may
be made under this Plan until February 20, 2018 or such earlier date as this
Plan is terminated, and grants of NSOs may be made until all of the 140,000,000
shares of KO Common Stock authorized for issuance hereunder (adjusted as
provided in Sections 5 and 10) have been issued or until this Plan is
terminated, whichever first occurs. The Plan shall terminate when there are no
longer Options outstanding under the Plan, unless earlier terminated by the
Board or by the Committee.

    

    Section
12.   Governing Law

    

    Except to
extent preempted by Federal Law, this Plan shall be construed, governed and
enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the
conflicts of law principles thereof) and any and all disputes arising under this
Plan are to be resolved exclusively by courts sitting in
Delaware.

    ADDENDUM

    

    France

    

    Options
granted under The Coca-Cola Company 2008 Stock Option Plan to employees based in
France (the "Employees") of the Related Companies (as defined) of The Coca-Cola
Company (the “Company”) may be granted under the terms of this Addendum as
follows:

    

    
      	
              1)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, options granted to any Employee who is a
      consultant, an "Administrateur," or a member of the "Conseil de
      Surveillance," as these terms are defined in French Corporate law, and who
      does not have a work contract with the Company or its Related Companies
      will be deemed to have not been granted an option pursuant to this
      Addendum.

            

    

    

    
      	
              2)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, the number of options offered through the
      Plan cannot exceed one third of the capital of the
  Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, any option with an exercise price on the
      date of grant of the option that is less than 80% of the average of the
      market value of the underlying share during the 20 trading days preceding
      the date of grant shall be deemed to have not been granted under this
      Addendum.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, options cannot be granted during the 20
      trading days after the payment of a dividend or after an increase of
      capital reserved to the
shareholders.

            

    

    

    
      	
              5)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, no options can be granted during the 10
      trading days preceding or following the publication of the annual
      financial consolidated account or the annual financial
      statement.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, no options can be granted during the
      period starting the date the corporate management of the company is aware
      of information the publication of which could have a substantial
      consequence on the fair market value of the shares and ending 10 trading
      days after the publication of this
information.

            

    

    

    
      	
              7)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, the exercise price of an option shall be
      adjusted only upon the occurrence of the events specified under July 24,
      1966 corporate law (section 208-5) in accordance with French law. Any
      reduction by the Company, to the exercise price of an outstanding and
      unexercised option previously issued under this Addendum, to the current
      fair market value of the underlying share shall be deemed to not have been
      an option granted under this
Addendum.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8)  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision of the Plan, to the extent an option was exercisable
      by an Employee at the time of his death, such option shall remain
      exercisable for a maximum period of 6 months from the date of the
      Employee’s death
