(a)         Should the Company require, for the purposes stated herein, according to laws governing the registration and grant of intellectual property license, that the Bottler be registered as a registered user or franchisee of the Trademarks, then, at the Company’s request, the Bottler shall execute any and all agreements and all documents necessary to register, amend or cancel the requested registration.

The Company shall notify the Bottler by telephone, fax, e-mail or by any other prompt means of communication, with written acknowledgement of receipt, of its decision to require that the Bottler recall such Beverage from the market or the trade and Bottler shall, upon receipt of such notice, immediately cease the distribution of such Beverage and adopt all other measures that the Company considers necessary to recall said Beverage from the market or trade.

 

(d)         Should Bottler determine or learn of any quality or technical problems relative to the Beverage or to the Approved Containers of the Beverage, it shall give prompt notice to the Company by telephone, fax, e-mail or any other means of prompt communication, with written acknowledgement of receipt. This notice shall include:  (1) the identity and quantities of Beverages involved, including the specific Approved Containers; (2) the coding data; and (3) all other corresponding data that aid in tracking the Beverage. The Bottler shall allow the Company, its directors, agents and staff assigned by the Company, entrance at all times to inspect the facilities, equipment and methods used by the Bottler, directly or indirectly, in or for the preparation, packaging, storage or handling of the Beverage in order to determine whether the Bottler is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 18 and 22. Likewise, the Bottler agrees to provide all information on compliance by the Bottler with the terms of this Agreement to the Company as it may request from time to time, including, but not limited to, the stipulations in Sections 18 and 22.

 

19.                              The Bottler shall deliver, at its expense, samples of the Syrup, the Beverage and the materials used in the elaboration of the Syrup and the Beverage to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided thereto by the Company from time to time.

 

 

20.                   (a)         The Bottler shall only use the Approved Containers and the lids, cases, labels and other packaging materials in the packaging, distribution and sale of the Beverage that are approved from time to time by the Company, and the Bottler shall purchase such items solely from suppliers authorized in writing by the Company to manufacture the items that will be used in relation to the Trademarks and the Beverage. The Company shall make its best efforts to approve two or more suppliers of such items, in the understanding that said authorized suppliers might be located in or outside of the Territory.

 

(b)         The Bottler shall inspect the Approved Containers and the lids, cases, labels and other packaging materials that will be used in relation to the Beverage and shall only use such items that the Bottler has determined comply both with the standards of the laws governing in the Territory and the standards and specifications prescribed by the Company.

(c)          The Bottler shall maintain at all times sufficient stock of Approved Containers, lids, cases, labels and other packaging materials to satisfy in full the demand for the Beverage in the Territory.

 

21.                   (a)         The Bottler recognizes that increases in demand for the Beverage as well as changes in the Approved Containers may require periodic modifications or other changes in its actual manufacturing, packaging, vending equipment or require the purchase of additional manufacturing, packaging, delivery or distribution equipment. The Bottler agrees to make the changes regarding the existing equipment and purchase and install the additional equipment that is necessary sufficiently in advance to allow the introduction of new Approved Containers and the Beverage to be elaborated and packaged according to the permanent obligations of the Bottler to develop, stimulate and satisfy in full the demand for Beverage in the Territory.

 

(b)         In the event that returnable Approved Containers are used by the Bottler in the preparation, packaging, distribution and sale of the Beverage, the Bottler agrees to invest from time to time the capital necessary and allocate and use the funding necessary to create and maintain sufficient inventories of returnable Approved Containers. In order to ensure the permanent quality and appearance of the inventories of returnable Approved Containers, the Bottler further agrees to replace all or part of the inventories of such Approved Containers as is reasonably necessary according to the obligations of the Bottler as established in this Agreement.

 

(c)          The Bottler shall not use or allow the use of the Approved Containers, bottle caps, cases, labels and other packaging materials mentioned in this Agreement for any purpose other than in relation to the Beverage and shall not otherwise refill or reuse the non-returnable Approved Containers that have been previously used.

 

 

22.                   (a)         The Bottler will be the only one responsible for fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement in accordance with all laws, regulations and statutes enacted by the government or local authorities and applicable in the Territory and it shall immediately inform the Company of any provision that impedes or limits in any way strict compliance by the Bottler with its obligations contained herein.

 

(b)         Notwithstanding the general aspects of the aforementioned, the Bottler accepts and agrees to comply at all times with (i) all environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and other legal requirements established by the government authorities that are applicable in the Territory and (ii) the environmental standards or programs issued in writing by the Company from time to time.

 

V.                            PURCHASE AND SALE CONDITIONS

 

23.                   (a)         The Company reserves the right, by written notice to the Bottler, to set and revise from time to time, on any date, at its sole discretion, the price of the concentrate, the Authorized Suppliers, the point of supply and the alternative points of supply of the Concentrate, the conditions of shipment and payment and the currency or currencies acceptable to the Company or the Authorized Suppliers.

 

(b)         If the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised price of the Concentrate, it shall give written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Company. In that case, this Agreement shall terminate automatically three (3) calendar months after the Bottler has received notice, with no liability of the parties for damages and losses.

 

(c)          If the Bottler does not notify the Company regarding the price review of the Concentrate according to letter (b) above, such revision shall be deemed accepted.

 

(d)         Inasmuch as the applicable law in the Territory allows it, the Company reserves the right to set and review the maximum prices at which the Bottler may sell the Beverage in the Approved Containers to wholesalers and retailers and the maximum retail prices of the Beverage, through prior written presentation to the Bottler. In this sense, the Bottler may sell the Beverage to wholesalers and retailers and authorize the retail sale of the Beverage at prices below the maximum prices. However, the Bottler may not increase the maximum prices set or reviewed by the Company at which it may sell the Beverage in the Approved Containers to wholesalers or retailers nor authorize an increase in the maximum retail prices of the Beverage without prior written authorization of the Company.

 

 

(e)          The Bottler undertakes to collect deposits from wholesalers and retailers, as applicable, per returnable Approved Container and each returnable case delivered thereto that are set from time to time by the Company by written notice to the Bottler and to make all reasonably diligent efforts to recover all empty returnable Approved Containers and the cases and at the time they are recovered, to reimburse or credit the deposits for such returnable Approved Containers and cases that have been returned undamaged and in good condition.

The Bottler shall request such extension in writing from the Company at least six (6) months, but no more than twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration date of this Agreement. That request for extension by the Bottler shall be supported by the documentation requested by the Company, including the documentation relative to compliance by the Bottler with the performance obligations contained herein that support the Bottler’s permanent capacity to develop, stimulate and satisfy in full the demand for the Beverage inside the Territory. If the Bottler has fulfilled the conditions necessary for extension of this Agreement at the Company’s sole discretion, the latter may, by written notice, agree to the extension of this Agreement for said additional period or such shorter period that is determined by the Company.

 

(c)          After any additional period has elapsed, this Agreement shall definitively expire with no need for notice and the Bottler shall have no right to claim any tacit renewal thereof.

 

25.                   (a)   Either the Company or the Bottler may terminate this Agreement immediately, without any liability for damages and losses, by written notice by the party entitled to terminate it to the other party:

 

(1)                                 if the Company, the Authorized Suppliers or the Bottler cannot legally obtain foreign currency to remit payment abroad for the imports of Concentrate or of the ingredients or materials necessary for the manufacture of the Concentrate, the Syrup or the Beverage; or

 

(2)                                 if any party hereto disobeys the laws or regulations applicable in the Territory and, accordingly, or as a result of any other laws affecting this Agreement, any of the fundamental stipulations in this Agreement cannot be legally fulfilled or the Syrup cannot be elaborated or the Beverage cannot be prepared or sold according to the Company’s instructions pursuant to Section 18 above, or the Concentrate cannot be manufactured or sold according to the Company’s formulas or the standards set by the Company.

 

 

(b)         The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately, without any liability for damages and losses:

 

(1)                                 if the Bottler becomes insolvent or if a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against the Bottler and it is not stayed or dismissed within one hundred and twenty (120) days, or if the Bottler adopts a settlement agreement, or if an order of liquidation or judicial administration is issued against the Bottler or if a trustee is appointed to manage the Bottler’s business, or if the Bottler welcomes any judicial or voluntary settlement with its creditors or reaches similar agreements with them or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

 

(2)                                 in the event of a dissolution, nationalization or expropriation of the Bottler, or a confiscation of the production or distribution assets of the Bottler.

 

26.                   (a)   Either the Company or the Bottler may also terminate this Agreement, without any liability for damages and losses, if the other party does not comply with one or several of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such default within 60 (sixty) days after the date when said party has received written notice of such default.

 

(b)         In addition to all other judicial remedies to which the Company may be entitled according to this Agreement, if the Bottler at any time fails to follow the instructions or does not abide by the standards prescribed by the Company or required by laws governing in the Territory in relation to the elaboration and packaging of the Syrup or the Beverage, the Company shall have the right to forbid the production of the Syrup or the Beverage until the default is cured to its satisfaction. Furthermore, the Company may also request suspension of the distribution and delivery of the Beverage and order the recall of the Beverage that is not in compliance with, or is not manufactured according to, such instructions, standards or requirements, at the Bottler’s expense, and in return, the Bottler must timely comply with such ban or request. As long as the production ban persists, the Company shall have the right to suspend deliveries of Concentrate to the Bottler and to supply the Beverage directly or have others supply the Beverage in the Territory. No ban or request shall be deemed a waiver of the Company’s rights to terminate this Agreement according to this Section 26.

 

27.                   After expiration or early termination of this Agreement:

 

 

(a)         the Bottler may no longer elaborate, package, distribute or sell the Beverage or use the Trademarks, Approved Containers, bottle caps, cases, labels or other packaging material or advertising, marketing or promotional material that has been used or is allocated for use by the Bottler solely in relation to the preparation, packaging, distribution and sale of the Beverage;

(c)          the Bottler shall immediately deliver to the Company or to a third party designated thereby all Concentrate, Beverage in Approved Containers, usable Approved Containers bearing the Trademarks or any thereof, the lids, cases, labels and other packaging materials bearing the Trademarks as well as all advertising material on the Beverages that are still in its possession or under its control, and the Company shall, upon delivery thereof according to such instructions, pay the Bottler a sum equal to the reasonable market value of such inputs or materials, provided that it shall only accept and pay for such inputs or materials that are in excellent and usable condition; and further provided that all Approved Containers, lids, cases, labels and other packaging materials and advertising materials bearing the corporate name of the Bottler and any inputs and materials not in usable condition according to the Company’s standards must be destroyed by the Bottler at its own cost; and further provided that if this Agreement is terminated according to the provisions in Sections 16, 23(b), 25(a), 26 or 28 or as a result of any of the contingencies stipulated in Section 31 (including the case of termination by operation of the law), or if the Bottler terminates this Agreement for any reason other than those stipulated in Sections 23(b) or 26, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, of purchasing such inputs and materials from the Bottler; and all rights and obligations according to this Agreement shall expire, cease and terminate, whether they are stipulated specifically or arise from the use, management or any other circumstance, except for the provisions relative to the Bottler’s obligations established in Sections 11(b)(2) and (b)(3) and 12, 13, 14, 15(f), 17(a), 27, 32, 33, 34(a), 34(c) and 34(d), all of which shall continue in full force and effect, provided this provision never affects any right that the Company might have in respect of the Bottler regarding any claim for non-payment of any debt or account payable by the Bottler to the Company or to its Authorized Suppliers.

 

VII.                          OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THE BOTTLER

 

28.                   The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company has a legitimate interest in maintaining, promoting and safeguarding the overall performance, efficiency and integrity of the international bottling, distribution and sales system. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Company made this Agreement on a strictly personal basis “intuitu personae” and in reliance on the identity, characteristics and integrity of the owners, of the controllers and of the managers of the Bottler and the Bottler guarantees that it has fully informed the Company, prior to the execution hereof, of the owners and any third parties who have any right, power, control or administration of or regarding the Bottler. 

 

 

Therefore, the parties agree that notwithstanding the provisions in Section 16 or any other provision in this Section 28, in the event of any change for any reason in the individuals or companies holding ownership or direct or indirect control of the Bottler, including any change in the shareholdings thereof, the Company may, at its exclusive discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately without any liability for damages and losses. Therefore, the Bottler accepts and agrees that it shall:

 

(a)         not assign, transfer, pledge or encumber this Agreement or any interest or rights contained herein in any way, in whole or in part, in favor of any third party or third parties without prior written authorization of the Company;

 

(b)         not delegate compliance of all or part of this Agreement to any third party or third parties without prior written authorization of the Company;

 

(c)          immediately notify the Company when and if it learns of any third-party action that may result or results in any change in the ownership or control of the Bottler;

 

(d)         from time to time make available to, or upon request of, the Company, complete records on the actual owners of the Bottler and full information on any third party or third parties that control it directly or indirectly;

 

(e)          to the extent that the Bottler has legal control of any change in the ownership or control thereof, not to begin or put into operation or accept any change without prior written authorization of the Company; and

 

(f)           if the Bottler has been incorporated as a partnership, not to change the composition of such partnership to include new partners or release the current partners without prior written authorization of the Company.

 

In addition to the above provisions in this Section 28, if a proposed change in the ownership or control of the Bottler entails a direct or indirect transfer to, or the acquisition of the ownership or control of the Bottler in whole or in part by, an individual or company authorized by the Company to manufacture, sell, distribute or otherwise trade beverages and/or any registered trademarks of the Company (the “Acquiring Bottler”), the Company may request any information that it deems relevant in regard to the Bottler and the Acquiring Bottler to determine whether or not it will authorize such change.  In any of such circumstances, in acknowledgment of the legitimate interest of the Company in maintaining, promoting and protecting the overall performance, efficiency and integrity of

 

 

the international bottling, distribution and sales system, the parties expressly agree that the Company may consider all factors and apply the criteria that it deems relevant in giving or refusing its authorization.

 

The parties hereto also acknowledge and agree that the Company, at its entire discretion, may refuse to accept any proposed change in the ownership or other situation stipulated in this Section 28 or may accept it subject to the conditions determined thereby, also at its entire discretion. The parties further stipulate and expressly agree that any violation by the Bottler of the covenants contained in this Section 28 shall authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement immediately, with no liability for damages and losses; and moreover, in view of the personal nature of this Agreement, the Company will have the right to terminate this Agreement without any liability for damages and losses should any third party or third parties obtain any direct or indirect interest in the ownership or control of the Bottler, including when the Bottler does not have the means to prevent such change if, in the Company’s judgment, the Bottler has allowed that third party or third parties to exercise any influence over the management of the Bottler or materially alter the Bottler’s capacity to fully comply with the terms, obligations and conditions of this Agreement.

 

29.                   The Bottler shall, before the issuance, offer, sale, transfer, negotiation or exchange of any of its shares or other titles of ownership, bonds, obligations or other proof of debt or before promoting the sale of the foregoing or encouraging or seeking the purchase or an offer for sale thereof, shall obtain the Company’s written authorization when it uses the corporate name thereof or the Trademarks or any description of its relationship thereto for such purpose in any prospectus, advertising or other sales effort.  The Bottler may not use the corporate name of the Company or the Trademarks or any description of its commercial relationship thereto in any prospectus or advertising that it uses in relation to the acquisition of any share or other certificate of ownership of a third party without prior written authorization of the Company.

 

VIII.      GENERAL DISPOSITIONS

 

30.                   The Company may assign any of its rights and delegate all or any part of its duties or obligations according to the terms of this Agreement to one or more of its subsidiaries or affiliates provided, however, that such delegation would not release it from its contractual obligations assumed herein.

33.                   (a)   The Bottler agrees to consult with the Company regarding all claims, proceedings or actions for product liability filed against the Bottler in relation to the Beverage or the Approved Containers and to adopt the measures relative to the defense of such claims or lawsuits that the Company may request to protect its interests regarding the Beverage, the Approved Containers or business reputation associated to the Trademarks.

 

 

(b)         The Bottler shall indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and the respective executives, directors and employees thereof harmless from and in regard to all costs, expenses, damages, claims, obligations and liabilities derived from factors or circumstances not attributable to the Company including, but not limited to, all costs and expenses assumed to resolve the same or reach a settlement, derived from the preparation, packaging, distribution, sale or promotion of the Beverage by the Bottler, including, but not limited to, all costs derived from acts or defaults, whether or not negligent, of the Bottler and of the Bottler’s distributors, suppliers and wholesalers.  The Bottler shall contract and maintain an insurance policy with insurers acceptable to the Company that grants ample global coverage of the amounts and risks regarding the matters mentioned in letter (b) above (including the indemnity contained therein) and shall, upon request by the Company, demonstrate to its satisfaction that such insurance exists. Compliance with this Section 33(c) will not limit or release the Bottler from its obligations assumed according to Section 33 (b) hereof.

 

34.                   The Bottler accepts and agrees:

Dear Sirs:

 

Regarding the Bottler Agreement effective September 1, 2015, made by and between The Coca-Cola Company (hereinafter the “Company”) and PARAGUAY REFRESCOS S.A. (hereinafter the “Bottler”) wherein the Company authorized the Bottler to prepare, distribute and sell COCA-COLA and with other authorizations identified under different brands owned by the Company granted to the Bottler by the Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Bottler Agreements”). The terms used herein will have the same meaning as the one assigned in the Bottler Agreements, except if otherwise specifically stipulated.

 

The Company hereby grants the Bottler a non-exclusive authorization to prepare, package, distribute and sell syrup for the Beverages authorized under the Bottler Agreements (hereinafter the “Post-Mix Syrups”) to retailers within the Territory used to supply Beverages through Post-Mix dispensers and sell the dispensed Beverages directly to the consumer subject to the following conditions:

 

1.         The Bottler will not sell Post-Mix Syrups to retailers for its use in Post-Mix dispensers, or for the operation of any Post-Mix dispenser if the following conditions are not met:

 

a)             Availability of a proper source of drinking water;

 

b)             All Post-Mix dispensers shall be approved by the Company and shall comply with hygiene or other regulations reported in writing by the Company to the Bottler regarding the preparation, packaging and sale of Post-Mix Syrups; and

 

c)              The Beverages dispensed through Post-Mix dispensers strictly adhere to the instructions for preparation of Post-Mix Syrup Beverages in accordance with the information provided from time to time by the Company to the Bottler.

 

2.         The Bottler will take samples of the Beverages dispensed through Post-Mix dispensers operated by retailers to which the Bottler has supplied Post-Mix Syrups or those operated by the Bottler in accordance with these instructions and in the intervals the Company communicates in writing and will submit such samples to the Company for inspection.

 

 

3.         The Bottler will maintain a proper staff of trained personnel who shall, with reasonable frequency, inspect the Post-Mix dispensers operated by retailers to which the Bottler has supplied Post-Mix Syrups. To carry out such inspections, the Bottler will ensure that:

 

(a)         the instructions given by the Company are being fulfilled; and

 

(b)         Beverages dispensed through Post-Mix dispensers strictly comply with the standards prescribed by the Company for their Beverages.

 

4.                  The Bottler on its own initiative and responsibility shall immediately discontinue the sale of Post-Mix Syrups to any retailer that does not comply with the standards prescribed by the Company.

 

5.                  The Bottler shall discontinue the sale of Post-Mix Syrups to any retailer upon notice by the Company regarding any of their Beverages dispensed through Post-Mix dispensers located in or adjacent to the retailer, that do not comply with the standards prescribed by the Company for the Beverages or that the Post-Mix dispenser is not of the type approved by the Company.

 

6.                  The Bottler agrees to:

 

a)            sell and distribute Post-Mix Syrups solely in containers approved by the Company and only use labels approved by the Company on said containers; and

 

b)            exercise all its influence to persuade retailers to use glasses, paper cups or other containers approved by the Company with brands approved by the Company so the Beverages served to the customer are properly identified and served in an attractive and hygienic container.

 

With the exception of the amendments hereof, all terms, agreements and conditions of the Bottler Agreements will apply to this supplementary authorization and the parties expressly agree that the terms, conditions, duties and obligations of the Bottler, in accordance with the stipulations of the Bottler Agreements, are hereby incorporated by reference unless the context is otherwise set forth or required. All references to “Beverages” in said Bottler Agreements will be construed as the term “Post-Mix Syrup” for purposes of this authorization.
