                    LETTERHEAD OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY

                            December 6, 1999

Mr. M. Douglas Ivester
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Doug:

This letter outlines the terms under which you will separate from The Coca-Cola
Company.  You have indicated that you will relinquish your position as Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company effective April 19, 2000.

The Board of Directors has accepted your resignation effective April 19, 2000
and the terms and conditions described in this letter have been approved by the
Compensation Committee (or the appropriate Subcommittee) of the Board on
December 5, 1999.

From the date of your separation until the end of the month in which you attain
your 55th birthday, you will receive payments from the Company equal to your
current monthly salary at the rate of $125,000 per month ($1,500,000 per year).
In February of each year from 2000 to 2002, you will receive a payment in lieu
of annual and long-term incentives in the amount of $1,500,000 (total payments
of $4,500,000).

The Compensation Committee has approved the payment of the deferred amounts
you earned in the Long Term Incentive Plan, and payments will be release to you
as follows:

PLAN                  PAYMENT DATE                  AMOUNT TO BE PAID
----                  ------------                  -----------------

1995-1997             First Quarter of 2000         $536,428 plus interest

1996-1998             First Quarter of 2001         $351,000 plus interest

You forfeit all other Long-Term Incentive awards for plans in process
(1997-1999, 1998-2000, 1999-2001).

The Restricted Stock Subcommittee has released restrictions on the 1,950,000
shares of restricted stock that have been granted to you previously, and the
shares will be released to you within 60 days.  Additionally, you will receive
a cash payment equal to the

estimated total of the combined federal, state and local taxes due on the
restricted stock granted under the 1983 Plan, and the calculation of the total
payment shall be consistent with the methodology used to calculate such
payments for all other Plan participants.  You are responsible for income taxes
on all amounts received under the terms of this letter.

It is noted that the price of a share of common stock of The Coca-Cola Company
as of Friday, December 3, 1999 was $68.312.  Effective immediately, the Stock
Option Subcommittee has waived vesting requirements on the unvested stock
options award granted to you on October 21, 1999.  After your separation on
April 19, 2000, you will have 6 months (until October 19, 2000) to exercise
any unexercised option granted to you.  Failure to exercise within that
timeframe would result in forfeiture of the options.

Upon attainment of age 55, you will be eligible to begin receiving retirement
benefits from the Employee Retirement Plan as well as any amounts that may be
vested under the Key Executive Retirement Plan.  Should you elect to begin
receiving payments immediately upon attainment of age 55, the Company will
supplement such payment so that the amount you receive shall not be less than
$115,000 per month.  Should you elect not to immediately begin receiving
payments at age 55, a 3% upward adjustment will be made the $115,000 total
payment for each year that retirement payments are delayed beyond age 55.

In May 2000, you will receive a lump sum distribution of your Supplemental
Thrift Plan and Compensation Deferral and Investment Plan accounts.

Beginning in 2002, the Company will engage you as a consultant for a period
of six years at an annual rate of $675,000.  The agreement may be extended at
the end of that period with mutual consent and subject to revision of the terms
of the agreement mutually acceptable to you and to the Company.

The Company will reimburse you for the cost of your COBRA continuation of
benefit coverage, in an amount sufficient to net you full reimbursement after
payment of taxes.  Upon the expiration of your COBRA coverage, the Company will
make a payment equal to $300,000 net of taxes to enable you to obtain
continuing medical coverage for yourself and for Kay.

The Company will grant title to you for your Company automobile, mobile
telephones and laptop computer and the like.

The Company will make contributions in double the amount of any
contributions you make to organizations which qualify for the
Company's Matching Gifts Program, subject to the normal annual
limit as defined in the Program for the years 2000, 20001 and
2002.

Until May 1, 2001, the Company will provide you with suitable
office space and secretarial services, the existing security
systems at your home will be maintained, and the Company will
reimburse you for all club dues attributable to the periods
prior to that date for existing clubs.

Finally, the Company will reimburse you for any out-of-pocket
expenses authorized by and incurred on behalf of the Company.

In return for the payments, benefits and actions delivered
within this letter, you agree to be available for consulting to
the Company as requested by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company from time to time.  You also agree not to be engaged by
or provide services, information or consultation to any company
which operates commercially in the nonalcoholic beverage
industry, beginning now and ending with the expiration of the
consulting agreement scheduled to end in 2007.

We appreciate you long and loyal service on behalf of
The Coca-Cola Company.

On behalf of the Board

Mr. M. Douglas Ivester
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Doug:

We are writing to clarify the letter we sent to you dated December 6, 1999.

By way of clarification, the release of restrictions on the 1,950,000 shares
of restricted stock will be effective the earlier of the first board meeting
in 2000 or February 4, 2000, as long as you do not voluntarily resign before
that earlier date.

                 LETTERHEAD OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY

                           February 17, 2000

M. Douglas Ivester
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Doug:

        Much has changed since December 5, 1999.  The planned restructuring
and transformation of our business is taking place at a very fast pace.  Not
only the speed with which we have been able to form and execute our plans but
the particulars applicable to those who might be eligible for voluntary early
retirement had not been clearly envisioned at that time. Thus, we believe the
purpose behind the Board's desire that you remain until April 19 have been
completely satisfied.  We also believe that by offering you the benefits of
the voluntary early retirement program, both you and the Company would benefit.
The Compensation Committee has approved these terms on February 16, 2000.

        Accordingly, we propose that our letter of December 6, 1999 be
amended as follows:

        1.  You would resign as Chairman, Director and Chief Executive
            Officer effective February 17, 2000.

        2.  The payments described in the third paragraph would remain
            the same but would be offset by payments from the ERP and
            would be deemed to include the lump sum payment payable under
            the voluntary retirement program.

        3.  The exercise period for all unexercised options after your
            retirement would be that available to all other retirees under
            the terms of the options rather than a six month exercise
            period.

        4.  You would receive a lump sum payment from your Supplemental
            Thrift Plan upon your retirement.

        5.  On the first of March you will begin receiving monthly payments
            of $4,331.01 which will continue until March 1, 2027 pursuant
            to the terms of the Compensation Deferral and Investment Program.

        6.  The Company would not reimburse you for medical coverage since
            your insurance benefits as a retiree would continue, as would
            your spouse's.

        7.  You would be eligible for the Matching Gifts program as a retiree.

        8.  In the event of your death, all payments due under this letter and
            the December 6th letter, as amended by this letter, will be made
            to your spouse.

        We believe this amendment serves us both.  Please accept our best wishes
on your retirement.

On behalf of the Company and the Board
