and Vicki R. Palmer (“Ms. Palmer”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage Ms. Palmer to provide consulting services
following the termination of her employment with the Company; and

the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as
follows: 
 1. Term of Consulting Arrangement. Ms. Palmer shall provide consulting services from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2012
(the “Term”). 
 2. Consulting Services. Ms. Palmer shall provide consulting services to the Company, as requested by the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, or another senior officer designated by the CEO from time to time. Such services may include, but shall not be limited to, providing advice and support on matters relating to the Company’s corporate
responsibility and sustainability initiatives; public affairs and community outreach initiatives; and the recruitment, development, and retention of a talented and diverse workforce (collectively, the “Services”). 
 3. Consulting Fees and Expense Reimbursements. 
 (a) During the Term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Ms. Palmer
consulting fees of $550,000 for each 12-month period, which fees shall be paid in equal monthly payments on the 30th of each month, commencing on
April 30, 2009. 
 (b) The Company shall reimburse Ms. Palmer for all reasonable and necessary travel and other
expenses she incurs in the performance of the Services, provided that all such expenses in excess of $1,000 have been agreed to in advance by the CEO or other senior officer of the Company. Ms. Palmer agrees to deliver an invoice to the Company
for such expenses no later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which the expenses were incurred, and the Company shall make the reimbursement payment to Ms. Palmer within thirty (30) days following its
receipt of the invoice. 
 4. Nature of Consulting Relationship. 
 (a) The Company and Ms. Palmer agree that Ms. Palmer shall act as an independent contractor in the performance of the Services.
Ms. Palmer may establish her own work schedule and the location where she performs the Services, consistent with the type of Services requested. The Company shall provide such administrative support as 

 
Ms. Palmer may request from time to time, and, if the Services requested by the Company require office or conference room accommodations, the Company
shall make appropriate arrangements. The Company shall not, however, be obligated to provide Ms. Palmer with an office or administrative support on an ongoing basis. 
 (b) Ms. Palmer agrees to perform the Services in a manner consistent with advancing the business and interests of the Company.
Ms. Palmer further agrees that, during the Term of the Agreement, she will not disparage the Company or make negative comments regarding the Company, its officers or management, and she will notify the Company within two business days if, in
the course of performing her duties, she becomes aware of any circumstances, information, or potential claims or allegations involving the Company’s business, employees or former employees. In recognition of Ms. Palmer’s agreements
under this subsection, the Company agrees to direct its officers and members of management to refrain from disparaging or making negative comments regarding Ms. Palmer. 
 (c) Ms. Palmer shall have the right to devote her time and efforts to pursue other business, professional and community service
activities and endeavors, and, in recognition of Ms. Palmer’s intent to pursue such other endeavors, the Company agrees that it will not require Services in excess of 1,000 hours in any twelve-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Ms. Palmer agrees that she will not, during the term of this Agreement, become employed by, or provide consulting services to, any entity that is a “Direct Competitor” of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Direct
Competitor” is limited to any business or operations owned or operated by PepsiCo, Inc.; Dr Pepper/Snapple, Inc.; or any business or operation that bottles or distributes the products of these entities. 
 (d) Ms. Palmer acknowledges that she has been engaged to provide the Services based on her experience and expertise and, accordingly,
agrees that the Company is not obligated to provide training or detailed instructions regarding her responsibilities. 
 (e)
Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the parties hereto, Ms. Palmer shall have no authority to enter into contracts that bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company without the express prior written consent of
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or other senior officer of the Company. 
 (f) As an independent contractor,
Ms. Palmer shall be responsible for payment of all applicable taxes, including federal, state and local taxes, arising out of her provision of the Services. Ms. Palmer agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claim, loss,
damage, liability, cost or expense, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company by reason of her failure to comply with this obligation. Further, Ms. Palmer agrees to carry her own workers’ compensation
insurance, if required by law, and other liability insurance as an independent contractor, and the Company shall not be responsible for any such liability or insurance. 
  

 2 

 5. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement and the Term shall terminate upon Ms. Palmer’s death,
Disability, or the existence of circumstances constituting a termination for Cause. In the event of such termination, the Company shall pay to Ms. Palmer or her estate all amounts earned under this Agreement for Services performed as of the
date of such termination. For purposes of this paragraph, the following definitions apply: 
 (i) “Disability” means
an inability, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantially gainful activity that continues for a period of six months.

inability is not corrected within thirty (30) days after she receives written notice from the Company describing the basis for the belief that such failure has occurred; (B) commission of a felony; (C) commission of any unprofessional
or unethical act which has or would have, if such act becomes public knowledge, a substantial and adverse effect on the business operations or reputation of the Company; or (D) the breach of any covenants contained in the Coca-Cola Enterprises
Inc. Executive Severance Plan, which are expressly incorporated by reference herein. 
 6. Arbitration. All disputes arising out of, or relating to,
the terms of this Agreement or their interpretation shall be subject to binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia, before the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs. Further, the Company and Ms. Palmer agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the prevailing party in any
arbitration matter contemplated hereunder shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award, and nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking such injunctive relief (or
any provisional relief). 
 7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement benefits and binds the Company and Ms. Palmer and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be entitled to assign this Agreement or the rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party;
provided however, that Ms. Palmer may assign her rights under this Agreement to a corporation, partnership or limited liability company controlled by Ms. Palmer, subject to the condition that all Services shall continue to be performed
solely by Ms. Palmer. 
 8. Controlling Law; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. This
Agreement may not be altered, amended or extended except in writing signed by the parties. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner affect the right to subsequently enforce the
same. No waiver by any party hereto of any condition, or of the breach of any term, provisions, warranty, representation, agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be
deemed or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, provision, warranty, representation, agreement or covenant herein contained.

 (iii) If the shareholders of the Company approve a merger,

 a merger, consolidation or share exchange that would result
in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such event continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of either 
 (A) the surviving entity or 
 (B) another
entity that owns, directly or indirectly, the entire voting interest in the surviving entity (the “parent”)) 
 more than 50% of

 a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this
Agreement; 
 (b) the grant of the options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past; 
 (c) all decisions with respect
to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
 (d) in consideration of the grant of options, no claim or
entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the options or diminution in value of the options or shares purchased through exercise of the options resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or your
employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this grant you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim; and 
 (e) in the event of involuntary termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive options and vest in options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of
the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law);
furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to exercise the options after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of your active
employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of your option grant. 
  

	6.	Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this
document by and among, as applicable, your employer, and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. 

 You understand that the Company and your employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock
awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You
understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data,
in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom 

  

 3 

 
you may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of the option. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to
implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or
withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative. 
  

	7.	Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or your employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account
or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or your employer (1) make no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such
exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. 

 Prior to exercise of the option, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or your employer to satisfy all withholding
and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or your employer. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation
paid to you by the Company and/or your employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that you acquire to meet the
withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your
employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or your employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company
may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section. 
  

	8.	Exercise of Options. You may exercise your vested options by following the procedures established by the Company.

 Exhibit 
 COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC. 
 2001 Stock Option Plan for French Employees 
 Section 1. Purpose 
 The purpose of the 2001
Stock Option Plan for French Employees (the “Plan”) is to advance the interest of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 4) located in France by encouraging and enabling the
acquisition of a financial interest in the Company by officers and other key employees through grants of stock options (“Options”). 
 Section 2. Administration 
 The Plan shall be administered by a Compensation Committee (the “Committee”)
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) from among its members and shall be comprised of not fewer than two members who shall be “nonemployee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 The Committee shall determine the persons to whom and the times at which Options will be
granted, the number of shares to be subject to each Option, the duration of each Option, the 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 an Option. The Committee, however, may delegate, from time to time, to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make Awards under the Plan or to extend the period for exercise of Options awarded under the Plan. The conditions of the
grants of Options need not be the same with respect to each optionee or with respect to each Option. 
 The Committee may, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, establish such rules and regulations for the proper administration of the Plan, may make interpretations and take other action in relation to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Each interpretation or other action
made or taken pursuant to the Plan shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without limitation, the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Committee, the Board, the affected optionees, and their respective
successors in interest. 
 Section 3. Stock 
 The stock to be issued under the Plan shall be shares of common stock, $1 par value, of the Company (the “Stock”). The Stock shall be made available only from authorized and unissued Stock. The total number of options granted and
not exercised yet at any given time under the Plan shall not give right to the subscription of a number of shares exceeding one-third of the share capital of the Company. 
 Section 4. Eligibility 
 Options may be granted to officers and management employees employed by
the Company and its Subsidiaries in France. No options may be granted to individuals who are not employees. More generally, no option may be granted to an optionee who already owns more than 10% of the Company’s share capital.
“Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other business organization in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting stock or capital at the time of the granting of such Option. 
  

 5 

 Section 5. Awards of Options 
 (a) Option Price. The exercise price of each option shall be 100% or more of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant. The fair market value of the Stock shall be computed on the basis of the
average of the high and low market prices at which a share of Stock shall have been sold on the date of grant, or on the next preceding trading day if such date was not a trading day, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions
listing. Further, the exercise price of the Option shall be at least 80% of the average of the daily market prices over the twenty trading days preceding the date of grant, with the daily market price determined as the average of the high and low
price at which the Stock was sold on each such trading day. 
 (b) Payment. The option price shall be paid in full at the time of
exercise. No shares shall be issued until full payment has been received therefor. Payment may be made in cash or, with the prior approval of and upon the conditions established by the Committee, by other means, including delivery of shares of Stock
owned by the optionee. 
 (c) Withholding. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the optionee the amount of any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the Stock subject to such Award. 
 (d) Duration of Options. The duration of Options shall be 10 years from date of grant. 
 (e) Other
Terms and Conditions. Options may be subject to such other provisions including the time periods during which options shall be exercisable, as determined by the Committee on the date of grant and as contained in documents under which such
Options are granted. 
 (f) No Affect on Employment Status. The grant of an Option to any officer or employee shall not affect
in any way the right of the Company and any Subsidiary to terminate the relationship between the Company and the optionee. 
 Section 6.
Nontransferability of Option 
 No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be transferable except than by will or, in the absence of a
will, by the laws of descent upon, and within six months of, the death of an optionee. Certificate(s) representing the shares of Stock issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued only in the name of the optionee or, provided such Option is
exercised within six months of the optionee’s death, in the name of his or her heir. 
 Section 7. No Rights as a Share Owner 
 An optionee shall have no right as a share owner with respect to any Stock covered by an Option or receivable upon the exercise of an Option until the
optionee shall have become the holder of record of such Stock. No adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property (except for share dividends) or other distributions or rights in respect of such Stock for which the record date is
prior to the date on which the optionee shall have in fact become the holder of record of the share of Stock acquired pursuant to the Option. 
 Section 8. Adjustment in the Number of Shares and in Option Price 
 In the event there is any change in the shares of
Stock through the declaration of stock dividends or stock splits or through recapitalization or merger, share exchange, consolidation, combination of shares or otherwise, the Committee or 

  

 6 

 
the Board shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number of shares of Stock available for Options as well as the number of
shares of 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, adjustments in Options may only be made in accordance with French laws and regulations. 
 Section 9. 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, including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify the Options under laws of France or the United States (including tax laws) or to correct any defect or supply
any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option granted thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan, or of the terms of any Option granted hereunder, shall be effective with respect to an optionee
(i) without the consent of such optionee or (ii) if such amendment would constitute a cancellation of an existing Option and the grant of a new Option under French law. 
 The Plan shall terminate five years after the effective date of the Plan unless earlier terminated by the Board or by the Committee. 
 Section 10. Governing Law 
 The Plan and all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, and construed in accordance therewith.
