===============================================================================

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $150,000.00  INITIAL RATE: 5.750%  DATE OF NOTE: JULY 15, 2002

PROMISE TO PAY. SMARTGATE L C ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO REGIONS BANK
("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00)
OR SO MUCH AS MAY BE OUTSTANDING, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ON THE UNPAID
OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF EACH ADVANCE. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED
FROM THE DATE OF EACH ADVANCE UNTIL REPAYMENT OF EACH ADVANCE.

PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN ONE PAYMENT OF ALL OUTSTANDING
PRINCIPAL PLUS ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST ON JULY 15, 2003, IN ADDITION.
BORROWER WILL PAY REGULAR MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST DUE
AS OF EACH PAYMENT DATE, BEGINNING AUGUST 15, 2002, WITH ALL SUBSEQUENT
INTEREST PAYMENTS TO BE DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH AFTER THAT. UNLESS
OTHERWISE AGREED OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAYMENTS WILL BE APPLIED FIRST
TO ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST, THEN TO PRINCIPAL, AND ANY REMAINING AMOUNT TO ANY
UNPAID COLLECTION COSTS AND LATE CHARGES. THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE FOR THIS
NOTE IS COMPUTED ON A 365/360 BASIS: THAT IS, BY APPLYING THE RATIO OF THE
ANNUAL INTEREST RATE OVER A YEAR OF 360 DAYS, MULTIPLIED BY THE OUTSTANDING
PRINCIPAL BALANCE, MULTIPLIED BY THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF DAYS THE PRINCIPAL
BALANCE IS OUTSTANDING. BORROWER WILL PAY LENDER AT LENDER'S ADDRESS SHOWN
ABOVE OR AT SUCH OTHER PLACE AS LENDER MAY DESIGNATE IN WRITING.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the Regions Financial
Corp, Commercial Base Rate - Daily (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily
the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole
discretion. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan,
Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will
tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate
change will not occur more often then each day. Borrower understands that
Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS
4.750% PER ANNUM. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL
BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE OF 1.000 PERCENTAGE POINT OVER THE
INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE OF 5.750% PER ANNUM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE OR RATES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS NOTE WILL
BE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RATES. NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Note be less than
5.000% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance
charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to
refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except
as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay
without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.
Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve
Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued
unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due.
Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without
recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower
will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other
payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in
full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or
limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or
delivered to: REGIONS BANK, BRADENTON MAIN OFFICE. 6001 26TH STREET WEST,
BRADENTON, FL 34207.

LATE CHARGE. IF A PAYMENT IS 10 DAYS OR MORE LATE, BORROWER WILL BE CHARGED
5.000% OF THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENT.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, at Lender's option, and if permitted by applicable law, Lender may
add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest
therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note. Upon default, the total
sum due under this Note will bear interest from the date of acceleration or
maturity at the variable interest rate on this Note.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note:

         PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under
         this Note.

         OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
         term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in
         any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
         obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
         between Lender and Borrower.

         DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Borrower or any Grantor defaults
         under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
         sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
         creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's
         property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform
         Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related
         documents.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this
         Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material
         respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false
         or misleading at any time thereafter.

         DEATH OR INSOLVENCY. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of
         whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from
         Borrower, or any other termination of Borrower's existence as a going
         business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the
         appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any
         assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout,
         or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
         insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

         CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
         forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
         repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
         governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This
         includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit
         accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply
         if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or
         reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
         forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
         the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies
         or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an
         amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an
         adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of,
         or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this
         Note. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall
         not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume
         unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner
         satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
         financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
         performance of this Note is impaired.

         INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

         CURE PROVISIONS. If any default, other than a default in payment is
         curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the
         same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months,
         it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if
         Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure
         of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or
         (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
         initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
         sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes
         all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as
         soon as reasonably practical.

to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be
permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of
Florida (as applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall,
instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the
principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full,
be refunded to Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights
or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person
who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law,
waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change
in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no
party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or
endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender
may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or
release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon
or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take any other
action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.
All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the
consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification
is made. The obligations under this Note are joint and several.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO
THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.

proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any

Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such
Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender
in good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have
occurred.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account. This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law, Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
debt against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to
administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's
charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:

         PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
         Loan.

         OTHER DEFAULTS. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
         term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or
         in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any
         term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other
         agreement between Lender and Borrower.

         DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Borrower or any Grantor defaults
         under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement purchase or
         sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
         creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's or any
         Grantor's property or Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the
         Loans or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or
         any of the Related Documents.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this
         Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
         material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or
         becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

         DEATH OR INSOLVENCY. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of
         whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from
         Borrower, or any other termination of Borrower's existence as a going
         business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the
         appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any
         assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout,
         or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
         insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

         DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION. This Agreement or any of the Related
         Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
         any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security
         interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

         CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
         forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
         repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by
         any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan.
         This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including
         deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall
         not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the
         validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
         creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written
         notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with
         Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture
         proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion,
         as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of,
         or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event
         of a death, Lender, at is option, may, but shall not be required to,
         permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the
         obligations arising under the guaranty in manner satisfactory to
         Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

         ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
         financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment of
         performance of the Loan is impaired.

         INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

         RIGHT TO CURE. If any default, other than a default on indebtedness,
         in curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not
         been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve
         (12) months, it may be cured (and no Event of Default will have
         occurred) if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving
         written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cure
         the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more
         than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deem in
         Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
         thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps
         sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

EFFECT OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except
where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related

the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate

at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable,
all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event
of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such
acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall
have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available
at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law,
all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender pursuant to any remedy shall
not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures
or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall
not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and
remedies.

         costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

         CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Agreement are for
         convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or
         define the provisions of this Agreement.

         CONSENT TO LOAN PARTICIPATION. Borrower agrees and consents to
         Lender's sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more
         participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether
         related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any
         limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential
         purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about
         Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower
         hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to
         such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale
         of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase
         of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the
         purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as
         the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all
         the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements
         governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further
         waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or
         later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation
         interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such
         purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the Loan
         irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any
         interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of
         any such participation interests may enforce its interests
         irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have
         against Lender.

         ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
         FLORIDA. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF
         FLORIDA.

         NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
         rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and
         signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
         exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
         other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall
         not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise, to
         demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of
         this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
         between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall
         constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Borrower's
         or any Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever
         the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting
         of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
         continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
         required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in
         the sole discretion of Lender.

         NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
         given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when
         actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law),
         when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
         mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class,
         certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the.
         addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may
         change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving written
         notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice
         is to change the party's address. For notice purposes, Borrower agrees
         to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current address.
         Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more then
         one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to
         be notice given to all Borrowers.

         SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
         of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
         circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision
         illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
         feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that
         it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
         cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
         Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality,
         invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
         shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other
         provision of this Agreement.

         SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OF BORROWER. To the extent the context of
         any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including
         without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word
         "Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's
         subsidiaries and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however,
         under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require
         Lender to make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of
         Borrower's subsidiaries or affiliates.

         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements contained by or
         on behalf of Borrower shall bind Borrower's successors and assigns and
         shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.
         Borrower shall not, however, have the right to assign Borrower's
         rights under this Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior
         written consent of Lender.

         SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower understands and
         agrees that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all
         representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this
         Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
         Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents.
         Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by
         Lender, all such representations, warranties and covenants will
         survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to Lender of the
         Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made
         and redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made, and
         shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower's
         Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall be
         terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to
         occur.

         TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time if of the essence in the performance of
         this Agreement.

         WAIVE JURY. ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO
         ANY JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY
         ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Company has otherwise granted Bottler the right to manufacture

         WHEREAS,  Bottler desires to take advantage of the skill, knowledge and
services of Company in the procurement of carbohydrate sweeteners;

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bottler
is willing to  purchase  carbohydrate  sweeteners  from  Company  and Company is
willing to sell carbohydrate sweeteners to Bottler;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises  hereof and of the
mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         Section 1.        Definitions.

         As used in this  Agreement,  the  following  terms  have the  specified
meanings:

                  a.       "Originating   Supplier"   means   the   carbohydrate
                           sweetener  supplier  which sells the sweeteners to or
                           processes the sweeteners for Company.

                  b.       "Sweeteners"  means  carbohydrate  sweeteners derived

                           delivered hereunder.

<PAGE>

         Section 2.        Authorization.

         For purposes of Bottler's  compliance with sweetener  quality assurance
requirements  independently established by Coca-Cola North America, Company will
be deemed an  approved  supply  point for  Sweeteners  furnished  hereunder  for
Bottler's manufacture of Products from concentrate and/or beverage base. Nothing
in this Agreement will be construed to authorize  Bottler to purchase or use any
concentrate or beverage base in the manufacture of syrups or beverages.

         Section 3.        Purchase, Sale and Usage of Sweeteners.

         Company  will sell to Bottler  and  Bottler  will buy from  Company all
Bottler's  requirements for Sweeteners.  Bottler will use the Sweeteners only in
its own  manufacturing  operations in the manufacture of products of Company and
approved non-Company products for itself and approved Bottler Customers. Bottler
will not resell or arrange for the  delivery  to any third  party of  Sweeteners
covered  by  this  Agreement.   Approval  of  each  Bottler  Customer  and  each
non-Company  product will be within the sole discretion of Company.  Company and
Bottler shall in good faith continue joint efforts towards strategy development,
program performance management and program administration.

         The  Sweeteners  will conform to the  specifications  in effect between
Company and the  Originating  Supplier(s) as may from time to time be revised by
Company  (the  "Specifications").  The  Specifications  (which may also  include
quality  control  requirements  for  Sweeteners as set forth in Section 6 below)
will be automatically incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

         Company will request and Bottler will furnish a good faith  forecast of
its requirements for Sweeteners ("Forecast") no later than October 1 of the year
preceding the calendar year of Sweetener  delivery.  The Forecast will set forth
the types and  quantities of Sweeteners  for each  receiving  location,  for the
calendar year and by delivery month. The Forecast will list by name all proposed
Bottler Customers and all proposed non-Company products,  and state the quantity
for the  calendar  year of each type of  Sweetener  for all  Bottler  Customers,
collectively,  and  for  all  non-Company  products,  collectively.  Subject  to
Company's written approval,  the Forecast (as amended to subtract  quantities of
Sweeteners  allocable to any non-approved  Bottler Customers and/or  non-Company
products)  will be  incorporated  herein  by  reference  and made a part  hereof
("Approved  Forecast").  Bottler will  promptly  advise  Company of any proposed
amendment to the Approved Forecast, including any proposed change to the list of
Bottler customers and non-Company  products identified in the Approved Forecast.
If approved in writing by Company, the Approved Forecast will be further amended
as requested by Bottler (or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing), will
become the Approved Forecast,  and will be incorporated  herein by reference and
made a part hereof.  Bottler will be obligated to purchase the stated  aggregate
quantity for each type of Sweetener  listed in the  Approved  Forecast,  plus or
minus 5%. If Company does not approve in writing the Forecast  within 30 days of
Company's  receipt of the Forecast  from  Bottler,  the Forecast  will be deemed
approved  by Company  and  become the  Approved  Forecast.  If Company  does not
approve in writing any proposed  amendment to the  Approved  Forecast  within 30
days of Company's receipt of said amendment from Bottler, said amendment will be
deemed approved by Company and will become the Approved Forecast.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         If, without the express written  approval of Company,  Bottler fails to
comply with any provision of this Section 3, Company may,  without  liability or
advance  notice,  either  terminate  this Agreement or reduce one or more future
deliveries of Sweeteners hereunder such that the aggregate deliveries to Bottler
during any calendar year do not exceed Bottler's actual  requirements for use in
its  manufacture  of Company and  approved  non-Company  products for itself and
approved Bottler Customers.

         Section 4.        Pricing.

         Company will furnish price quotations based upon Bottler's instructions
as to date of pricing, quantity to be delivered and delivery period based on the
Approved  Forecast.  The quantity  specified by Bottler will be substantially in
accordance  with the  monthly  quantities  set forth in the  Approved  Forecast.
Bottler's  acceptance of Company's  quotations  will establish the price and the
quantity for delivery  hereunder for the affected  delivery period.  For pricing
purposes,  the delivery  period will be one or more whole  calendar  months.  If
Bottler  has not  furnished  said  instructions  by 30 days  prior to a calendar
month,  then the price for that month will be as established by Company based on
market  conditions  existing at that time for the quantities to be delivered and
the delivery period.  However, if market conditions indicate a delay in pricing,
the  Company  may waive the 30-day  requirement.  In the event  Bottler  has not
otherwise  specified the quantity to be delivered prior to the date that pricing
is established, the quantity will be that set forth in the Approved Forecast.

         Company  reserves the right upon written  notice (the "Charge  Notice")
given on or before  August 1 of any year  during the term of this  Agreement  to
elect to charge  Bottler an amount for Company's  services  under this Agreement
(the "Services Charge"),  which may take effect no earlier than January 1 of the
year immediately  following the year in which a Charge Notice is delivered.  The
Services Charge will take effect on and be due and payable  beginning  January 1
of the year immediately following the year in which a Charge Notice is delivered
(or such later date as may be specified  in the Charge  Notice),  provided  that
Bottler may in its sole and absolute  discretion  give notice within thirty days
of the  Services  Charge  being  determined  that  Bottler  does not  accept the
Services Charge, in which event this Agreement shall terminate upon the later of
January 1 of the year immediately  following the year in which the Charge Notice
at issue was  delivered  (or such later date as may have been  specified  in the
Charge Notice at issue) or the date of Bottler's notice to decline acceptance of
the  Services  Charge.  Any  termination  under this  Section 4 by Bottler  upon
receipt of a Charge Notice will be without penalty or charge to Bottler.

         Section 5.        Invoicing and Payment.

         Company  will  invoice  Bottler  based on the  payment  terms in effect
between the Originating  Supplier(s) and Company.  Invoices shall be for the net
amount  charged to Company  with any and all  customary  discounts  available to
Company having been applied when determining the price to Bottler,  subject to a
reasonable reserve for  beginning-of-the-year  accruals determined in accordance
with GAAP (which  ultimately shall be reversed) and any other reserves  mutually
agreed to between Company and Bottler. Except as permitted by Section 4, Company
will  not  charge  Bottler  any  amount  for  procuring  Sweeteners  under  this
Agreement. The price charged to Bottler will be the same effective price paid by
Company,  and Bottler  shall have the benefit of all  enhancements,  promotions,

                                       3
<PAGE>

discounts,  rebates, price reductions, or other price adjustments of any form or
nature (whether in the form of monetary  adjustments or non-monetary  benefits).
Company will maintain  records  generated in Company's normal course of business
in accordance with  applicable  laws to  substantiate  that Company has complied
with this  Section  5, and will make said  records  available  to  Bottler  upon
reasonable request and reasonable advance notice.

         Section 6.        Delivery.

         Delivery  hereunder  will  commence with the first  calendar  month set
forth in the Approved  Forecast and continue until this Agreement  terminates as
provided in Section 8 below. No later than the date of Company's quotation,  the
parties  hereto will  establish the terms of delivery which depend upon the type
of Sweeteners and the Originating  Supplier. If not otherwise established at the
time, price quotations and established pricing will be predicated upon Company's
delivery terms in effect with the Originating  Supplier,  adjustments to be made
by Company in accordance with terms for delivery to Bottler. Final scheduling of
deliveries  will be  arranged  by Bottler  either  directly  or  indirectly  (as
specified by Company), with the Originating Supplier.

         Section 7.        Quality.

         Bottler agrees to comply strictly with the terms of the Specifications,
and any requirements independently issued by Coca-Cola North America to bottlers
of Company, relating to quality control with respect to Sweeteners,  which terms
and  requirements,  if any,  or any  reissue  thereof  by  Company,  are made an
integral  part of this  Agreement.  Bottler  also  agrees to submit  samples  of
Sweeteners in accordance with  instructions as may be given by Company.  Bottler
agrees to defend,  indemnify and hold Company harmless  against loss,  liability
and damages caused by Bottler's failure to adhere to the  aforementioned  terms,
requirements and instructions of Company.

         Section 8.        Term and Termination.

         This  Agreement  will become  effective on the date first written above
and continue until December 31, 2007  ("Initial  Period"),  subject to automatic

the Initial Period or any renewal by either party giving the other notice by the
September 1 immediately  prior to the end of the Initial  Period or any renewal.
Additionally,  Company and Bottler acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may
be terminated or modified at any time upon the written agreement of both Company
and  Bottler.  In the event  Company  ceases to  procure a minimum of 70% of the
Sweeteners  used by  Company's  bottlers  for the  United  States,  Company  may
terminate this Agreement upon 60 days' written notice to Bottler.

         Section 9.        Confidentiality.

Agreement,  Bottler will (1) hold all such  confidential  information  in strict
