	 	(b)	Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if the Total Market Value of the Stock presented under the Stock Ownership Affidavit is not sufficient to satisfy the exercise price

Market Value of any fractional Profit Share the Participant would have received upon exercise of the Option if it had not been subject to a Stock Option Deferral Election. Further, a Participant’s Stock Option Cash Credit Account will be
increased by an amount equal to the Hypothetical Dividends credited with respect to Participant’s Stock Option Share Unit Account balance as of each of the Company’s dividend record dates.

to the conversion of Cash Credits to Share Units, pursuant to Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2(e), shall at all times be 100% vested. A Participant’s interest in his or her Restricted Stock Share Cash Credit Account shall be 100% nonforfeitable.

  

	 	(c)	A Participant’s interest in his or her Deferred Stock Award Share Unit Account and Deferred Stock Award Cash Credit Account shall become nonforfeitable, or vest, as provided in

forms acceptable to the Committee and must be signed by the Participant, or in the case of a death benefit, by the Beneficiary or legal representative of the Beneficiary. Each application shall be acted upon and approved or disapproved by the Claim
Representative within 90 days following receipt by the Claims Representative (or within 180 days if special circumstances require and notice is given to the applicant before the end of the 90-day period informing the applicant of the circumstances
requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Claims Representative expects to render a decision). 
  
 If any application for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, the Claims Representative shall notify the applicant in writing of such denial and of the
applicant’s right to a review of the decision and shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for such denial, the specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the applicant to perfect the application, an explanation of why such material or information is necessary and an explanation of the Plan’s review 

  

 11 

 
procedure and the time limits applicable to the procedure, including a statement of the applicant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA following
an adverse determination on review. 
  
 9.2. Appeals. Any
person whose application for benefits is denied in whole or in part may appeal to the Committee for review of the decision by submitting, within 60 days (180 days for denials of claims for disability benefits under the Plan) after receiving notice
of the denial of the claim, a written statement to the Committee that: 
  
 (i) requests a review by the Committee of the application for benefits; 
  
 (ii) sets forth all of the grounds upon which the request for review is based and any facts in support of such request; and 
  
 (iii) sets forth any issues or comments that the applicant deems pertinent to the application. 
  
 In addition, an applicant may submit written comments, documents, records and other
information in support of the appeal, and the applicant shall be provided, free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the applicant’s claim for benefits. 
  
 The Committee shall meet as required to review appeals of denials of applications for
benefits submitted to it. The Committee shall act upon each appeal within sixty days (forty-five days in the case of denials of claims for disability benefits) after receipt of the applicant’s request for review by the Committee. The Committee
shall make a full and fair review of each application and any written material submitted by the applicant or the Employer in connection with such review, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
determination. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing an appeal, it may extend the initial period, in which case written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the applicant before
the end of the initial period, indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Committee expects to render a determination on review. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 60 days from the end of
the initial period. Based on this review, the Committee shall make an independent determination of the applicant’s eligibility for benefits under the Plan. 
  

In the case of a denial of any appeal, the Committee shall notify the applicant in writing of such determination and shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be
understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for the adverse determination, references to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based, a statement that the applicant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the applicant’s claim for benefits, and a statement of the applicant’s right to bring an action under ERISA. 
  
 The decision of the Committee on any application for benefits shall be final and conclusive
upon all persons. Exhaustion of the appeal rights under this Section 9.2 shall be required before any Participant may file suit in court.

Deferral Plan described in Article I. Unless terminated earlier by the Company, Article III shall terminate as of December 31, 2010, ten years from the effective date of the Restricted Stock Deferral Plan described in Article I. In the event of

 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1. Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in this Plan shall not give any Participant the right to be retained in the
Company’s employ or any rights or interest in this Plan or any assets of the Company other than as herein provided. The Company reserves the right to terminate the employment of any Participant without any liability for any claim against the
Company under this Plan, except to the extent provided herein. 
  
 11.2. Changes in Capitalization. The number of Share Units credited to each Participant’s Share Unit Account shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Stock
resulting from a subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a stock dividend in shares of common stock of the Company to holders of outstanding shares or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to reflect any recapitalization, reclassification of shares or reorganization affecting the capital structure of the Company. In the event of a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the Company survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation, and in such transaction the holders of Stock of the Company become entitled to receive shares of stock
or securities of the surviving corporation, the Participant’s Share Unit Account shall be credited with that number of Share Units representing securities of the surviving corporation that would be exchanged for the shares of Stock of the
Company in such transaction if they had been outstanding shares, and any cash or other consideration that would be receivable if such shares had been outstanding shall be credited to the Participant’s Cash Credit Account. 
  
 11.3. Participants’ Interest Unfunded. All amounts payable under
the Plan to Participants shall be payable from the general assets of the Company. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the purpose of paying benefits. Participants shall have the
status of general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to amounts they defer under the Plan or any other obligation of the Company to pay Participants’ interests pursuant hereto. Any funds of the Company available to pay benefits
under the Plan shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company and may be used for any purpose by the Company. 
  

 13 

 11.4. Other Plans. This Plan shall not affect the right of any Participant to participate in and
receive benefits under any employee benefit plans which are now or hereafter maintained by the Company, unless the terms of such other employee benefit plan or plans specifically provide otherwise. 
  
 11.5. Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and
governed in all respects in accordance with applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective. 
  
 11.6. Gender, Number, and Headings. In this Plan, whenever the context so indicates, the singular or plural number and the masculine, feminine, or
neuter gender shall be deemed to include the other. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 
  
 11.7. Successors and Assigns; Nonalienation of Benefits. This Plan
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that the amounts credited to the Account of a Participant shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of
any right to any benefits payable hereunder shall be void, including, without limitation, any assignment or alienation in connection with a separation, divorce, child support or similar arrangement.

 Exhibit 10.9

  
 

 
  
 EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

 (Effective January 1, 2004) 
  
 Section 1. Purpose. 
  
 The purpose of the Executive Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to advance the interest of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (the
“Company”) by providing senior officers of the Company with additional incentive to assist the Company in meeting and exceeding its business goals. 
  
 Section 2. Administration. 
  
 The Plan shall be administered by the Governance and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”). The Committee shall be comprised of not fewer than two members who shall be “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue
Code”), and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 The Committee
may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, establish such rules and regulations or take such action as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. Each interpretation made or action taken pursuant to the Plan shall be
final and conclusive for all purposes and binding upon all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company, the Committee, the Board, the affected Participants (as defined in Section 3), and their respective successors in interest. 

 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have no authority to
increase the amount of an Award payable to a Participant that would otherwise be due upon the attainment of the performance goal. The Committee shall, however, have the authority to reduce or eliminate any Award under the Plan. 
  
 Section 3. Eligibility. 
  
 Cash awards (“Awards”) may be made under this Plan to executive
officers and senior officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (“Participants”). 
  
 “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other business organization in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting stock, membership interests or capital during any
Performance Period. 
  
 Section 4. Performance
Goal Criteria. 
  
 For each calendar year for which the Committee
determines an Award will be made (the “Performance Period”), the Committee shall establish a “Total Performance Goal,” which consists of the attainment of (1) specific targets for the Company’s actual operating income, as
compared to its budgeted operating income for that period, and (2) specific targets in the Company’s actual sales volume, as compared to its sales volume budget for that period. All targets shall be preestablished in accordance with Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder. 
  
 For purposes of this Plan, “operating income” is determined in the same manner as set forth in the Company’s audited financial statements for the Performance Period, normalized for acquisitions, divestitures and other
significant financial events, and “sales volume” is the amount of the Company’s product sold, measured in physical cases. 
  

 A-1 

 Section 5. Calculation of Awards. 
  
 The Committee shall establish Award levels, described as percentages by
which a Participant’s annual base salary shall be multiplied, to determine the amount of an Award payable upon the attainment of specified targets described in Section 4. No Award under the Plan shall exceed 250% percent of a Participant’s
annual base salary. An Award paid to a Participant shall be calculated using the annual base salary in effect on December 31 of the year for which the Award is made. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the annual base salary used to calculate an
Award paid to a Participant (under this Section 5 or Section 6) may not exceed 110% of such Participant’s annual base salary in effect on January 1 of any Performance Period for which the Award is made. 
  
 Section 6. Prorated Awards. 
  
 (i) A person hired or promoted into a position identified in Section 3
(“Eligible Position”) during a Performance Period shall receive a prorated Award for the period of time the person was employed in an Eligible Position, using the Participant’s annual base salary in effect on December 31 of the
Performance Period for which the Award is made. 
  
 (ii) A
Participant who is transferred from one Eligible Position to another Eligible Position during a Performance Period shall receive an Award that is prorated for the period of time the Participant was employed within each Eligible Position, using the
Participant’s annual base salary in effect on December 31 of the Performance Period for which the Award is made. 
  
 (iii) A Participant who is not employed in an Eligible Position on the last day of the Performance Period due to the Participant’s transfer to a
position with the Company or a Subsidiary that is not an Eligible Position shall receive an Award that is prorated for the period of time the Participant was employed in an Eligible Position, using the Participant’s annual salary on the last
day that the Participant is employed in that Eligible Position. 
  
 (iv) A Participant whose employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates prior to the last day of the Performance Period shall not receive any Award under the Plan unless the reason for such termination was the Participant’s
death, disability, or retirement. In the event a Participant terminates on account of such circumstances, the Participant shall receive a prorated Award determined as if the Participant transferred to a position within the Company that is ineligible
for participation in the Plan as of the date of such termination. 
  
 (v) For purposes of this Section 6: 
  
 (a) “Retirement” means a Participant’s voluntary termination of employment on a date which is on or after the earliest date on which such Participant would be eligible for an immediately payable benefit pursuant to the terms
of the defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company or a Subsidiary in which the Participant participates. If the Participant does not participate in such a plan, the date shall be determined as if the Participant participated in the
Company’s defined benefit plan covering the majority of its nonbargaining employees in the United States. 
  
 (b) “Disability” shall be determined according to the definition of “total and permanent disability,” in effect at the
time of the determination, in the defined benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a Subsidiary in which the Participant participates. If the Participant does not participate in such a plan or such plan does not define “total and permanent
disability,” “disability” shall mean the Participant’s inability, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in gainful employment, which condition, in the opinion of a physician approved of by
the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than one year. 
  
 (c) “Prorated” means the determination of the amount of an Award for partial participation in a particular Eligible Position, which amount is determined according to the actual number of days in which a
Participant was employed in the relevant Eligible Position(s) during the Performance Period for which the Award is made. 
  
 (d) A Participant is not considered to be employed in an Eligible Position during a leave of absence, except during approved military
leave (for no more than twelve months), disability leave (for no more than six months), personal leave (for no more than three months), or as required by applicable law. However, a Participant may not be considered employed in an Eligible Position
during a leave of absence if, and to the extent, he or she has been considered so employed during a previous Performance Period for the same leave. 
  

 A-2 

 (e) A Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will be deemed not
to be a termination of employment if the Participant’s reason for termination is due to immediate employment with any other Subsidiary or any Related Company; however, in such event, the Participant shall receive a prorated Award as if the
Participant transferred to a position that is not eligible for participation under the Plan. The term “Related Company” shall include The Coca-Cola Company or any corporation or business entity in which The Coca-Cola Company owns, directly
or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting stock or capital if (i) such company is a party to an agreement with the Company that provides for reciprocity between the companies with respect to certain compensation and benefit and (ii) the Company has
assented to the Participant’s subsequent employment. 
  
 Section 7. Amendments, Modification and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 The Board or the Committee may terminate the Plan in whole or in part, may suspend the Plan in whole or in part from time to time, and may amend the Plan
from time to time to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in the Awards made thereunder that does not constitute the modification of a material term of the Plan. Any such action may be taken without
the approval of the shareowners unless the Committee determines that the approval of shareowners would not be necessary to retain the benefits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 Section 8. Governing Law. 
  
 The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia and construed in accordance therewith.
