	 	Attn:  	 	William B. Elmore, Jr.

President and Chief Operating Officer

Gentlemen:

     This letter is submitted by The Coca-Cola Company (the “Company”) in response to the specific
request of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its directly and indirectly controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates that are engaged in the production or sale of beverages pursuant to
Contracts (as defined below) with the Company (collectively, “Consolidated”), in connection with
the execution by Consolidated of the Marketing and Distribution Agreements for Dasani® covering the
licensed bottling territories of Consolidated (the “Dasani MDAs”).

     The Company and Consolidated acknowledge that the Dasani MDAs are considered “Contracts” as
defined in that certain letter agreement dated December 14, 1994 between the Company and
Consolidated, a copy of which is attached hereto. Accordingly, the Company hereby confirms,
consistent with paragraph 3 of such letter agreement, that as applied solely to Coca-Cola Bottling
Co. Consolidated, the Company hereby waives the right under Paragraph 26 of the Dasani MDAs that
would otherwise exist upon the occurrence of the event of default defined in subparagraph 26(a)(ii)
or (iii) of the Dasani MDAs. The foregoing waiver will terminate immediately should Coca-Cola
Bottling Co. Consolidated cease to be a public company. As stated in such paragraph 3, except as
expressly set forth therein as applied solely to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, the Company
expressly reserves and does not waive any other rights of the Company under the Dasani MDAs or any
of the other Contracts or any other contract or agreement.

     Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by executing two copies of this letter
agreement and returning them to us.

     Attention: Reid M. Henson

Gentlemen:

     This letter is submitted by The Coca-Cola Company (the “Company”) in response to the specific
request of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (“Consolidated”)1 in
recognition of the special circumstances affecting Consolidated, including certain issues raised by
Consolidated’s status as a publicly traded company. In consideration of the execution by
Consolidated, now and in the future, of the new Marketing and Distribution Agreement such as the
one offered in October, 1994 for “POWERADE” (the “Contracts”), and in recognition of the fact that
Consolidated is and will be in the future executing the Contracts in reliance upon this agreement,
the Company agrees that:

 

			
	1 	 	Except with respect to paragraph 3 below,
for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Consolidated” shall include Coca-Cola
Bottling Co, Consolidated and its directly and indirectly controlled
subsidiaries existing at any time during the term of this Agreement which are
engaged in the production or sale of beverages pursuant to Contracts with the
Company.

 

 

Coca-Cola Bottling Co Consolidated

1. The Company acknowledges that the exercise of its rights under the Contracts will require
consideration, as appropriate to each particular situation, of such criteria as: (i) the
performance of Consolidated as distributors relative to that of other comparable distributors who
are parties to similar contracts; (ii) the nature of the competition and the identity of and
resources of the major competitors within the respective Territories of Consolidated, as well as
the competitive activity in those Territories; (iii) the price trends of the Beverages sold by the
Company to consolidated relative to other competitive factors and market conditions in the
Territories, including Consolidated’s prices to retailers for Beverages; (iv) such other criteria
as shall in the reasonable opinion of the Company be relevant and material to the exercise by the
Company of its rights under the contracts; provided, however, that it is understood that while
these criteria are to be considered, the Company’s exercise of its rights under the Contracts shall
not be limited or mandated by any one or more of such criteria, and that the Company is free to
exercise its rights in accordance with its reasonable business judgment in view of all relevant
factors, including the Company’s situation.

2. The Company agrees that in the event the Company enters into a written amendment to similar
contracts between the Company and any other distributor of Beverages in a territory in the United
States which amendment is of a material, substantive term or condition of those similar contracts
(other than an agreement relating to the transfer of ownership of a particular distributor such as
that of Paragraph 3 below) which term or condition as amended could have application to
Consolidated, the Company will offer such amendment in its entirety to Consolidated on the same
terms and conditions as exist in the written amendment between the Company and such other
distributor. The parties agree that no such written amendment shall be deemed to exist by virtue of
any action, inaction or course of dealing undertaken by the company with respect to marketing,
planning, quality control or other matters which are contemplated by the terms and conditions of
those similar contracts.

3. As applied solely to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, the Company hereby waives the right
under Paragraph 25 of the contracts between Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and the company
that would otherwise exist upon the occurrence of the event of default defined in subparagraph
25(a)(ii) or (iii) of such Contracts. The foregoing waiver shall terminate immediately should
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated cease to be a public company.
Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph 3 as applied solely to Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Consolidated, the Company expressly reserves and does not waive any other rights of the company
under the Contracts or any other contract or agreement.

4. The company agrees that a default by Consolidated under the terms of the Contracts will not, in
and of itself, create a default under the terms of the Master Bottle Contracts, Allied Bottle
Contracts or other contracts between the Company and Consolidated, and that such default, in and of
itself, will not give the Company the right to terminate such other contracts.

between the parties and supersede all prior agreements shall not have any effect on the validity
and continuance of the provisions of this Agreement, which shall have the same term as the
contracts. The parties agree that the Contracts and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement
between Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and the Company. All prior agreements, arrangements,
communications or understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the Contracts or this
Agreement between the parties and their legal predecessors, if any, are canceled

correspondence, communications or understandings, whether oral or written, shall be used in any
legal proceeding that may arise with respect to the application, construction or interpretation of
the contracts or this Agreement.

terns and are in substantially the same form as the Contracts.

7. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors, if any, of the Company or Consolidated.

8. Company and Consolidated agree that the contents of this Agreement are confidential and that
neither party may discuss or disclose any of the provisions herein without the express written

Re: Incidence Pricing Agreement Dear Jamie:

This letter confirms our plans to enter into an incidence pricing program with Coca-Cola Bottling
Co. Consolidated (“Bottler”) starting in 2009 (the “Program”) for the Term defined below. The
Program described below will apply only to concentrate that the Bottler purchases from CCNA for the
“Brands” listed in Attachment A for ultimate resale as finished goods to your customers who resell
the finished goods directly or indirectly to retailers and consumers who are located in the
respective authorized territories for the Brands, as permitted in the respective agreements between
CCNA and the Bottler for the Brands (“Covered Sales”). The Program described below will not apply
to concentrate that the Bottler purchases from CCNA that is used to manufacture finished goods for
resale to CCNA or to authorized Coca-Cola bottlers that are not owned and controlled by the Bottler
(“Excluded Sales”).

	1.	 	The Brands will include the following CCNA beverages:

	 	•	 	All Sparkling beverages (e.g., Coca-Cola classic, diet Coke, Sprite, etc.)

	 
	 	•	 	Nestea (Coldfill only) and Minute Maid Adult Refreshment (Coldfill only)

	2.	 	The Program shall be for a minimum of two years beginning on January 1, 2009, and shall end
on December 31, 2010, unless terminated earlier by either party as permitted herein (the
“Term”). Either party may terminate the Program effective at the end of any calendar year
(i.e., on December 31) by giving not less than fifteen (15) days written notice to the other
party prior to the end of such calendar year. In addition, Bottler may terminate this
Agreement pursuant to paragraph 5.e below.

	 
	3.	 	During the Term, both parties temporarily waive the pricing provisions, including “most
favored nations” provisions relating to pricing, if any, for each of the Brands listed in
Attachment A that are contained in the agreements between them for those Brands (the “Existing
Contracts”), and both parties agree that the pricing for the Brands shall be governed by this
Agreement during the Term. In agreeing to this waiver, the parties acknowledge that Bottler
is relying on the fact that CCNA has offered this Program to all
Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States in substantially the same form and using substantially
the same methodology as stated in this Agreement.

Classified — Confidential

 

 

Page 2

	 	 	If CCNA offers a materially different incidence pricing program to any bottler, CCNA will either
make such program available to Bottler or allow Bottler the option to terminate this Program
effective at the end of the next calendar quarter by giving not less than thirty days written
notice to CCNA. However, the parties acknowledge that Other Participating Bottlers (as defined
below) will have different Incidence Rates and that such differences shall not be deemed a
material difference in incidence pricing programs. CCNA will continue to publish prices for the
Brands in accordance with the terms of the Existing Contracts, but such published prices shall
be informational only and shall not apply during the Term, unless this Agreement is terminated
early as permitted herein.

	 
	4.	 	During the Term, CCNA will bill Bottler for concentrate at the standard billing prices
(“SBPs”) by Brand category that are communicated by CCNA to Bottler. The SBPs for 2009 are
set forth in Attachment A. SBP pricing will change once a year: at the end of each Program
year, CCNA shall be free to change the SBPs for the next year by giving 30 days notice to
Bottler. This is a billing price and does not reflect the incidence price (see Paragraph 5
below), CCNA shall charge the same SBPs to every bottler that elects to participate in an
incidence pricing program substantially similar to this Program during the Term (“Other
Participating Bottlers”), before taking account of any funding that Bottler or Other
Participating Bottlers may elect to net pursuant to paragraph 5.h below.

	 
	5.	 	Within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter, i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30,
and December 31, CCNA will calculate an effective “Incidence Pricing Revenue” (“IPR”) for each
category, as follows.

	 	a.	 	The Bottler will calculate its Dead Net Net Selling Income (“DNNSI”) during the
preceding quarter for Covered Sales of each Brand and multiply the DNNSI by the
“Incidence Rate” for that Brand to yield an IPR for each Brand. The sum of these IPRs
is the Total IPR for that quarter.

	 
	 	b.	 	“DNNSI” is defined in as “Revenue less CMA/CTM/Rebates”. During the Program,
the Bottler will use the same process to calculate DNNSI for all of the quarters of the
program. Bottler will not alter the process or definition of DNNSI during the Program.
For auditing purposes, Bottler will provide copies (hard or electronic) of the results
of their sales systems (e.g., Margin Minder) to CCNA.

	 
	 	c.	 	The starting Incidence Rate for the Brands shall be defined and calculated as
set forth on Attachment B. Each bottler will have its own Incidence Rate, and this
rate may vary across bottlers.

	 
	 	d.	 	At the end of each year of the Program, CCNA will review and potentially adjust
Bottler’s Incidence Rate for the next year of the Program with the Bottler. CCNA will
give not less than forty-five (45) days written notice of any changes to the Incidence
Rate. For Bottlers that are governed by the Bottler’s Bottle Contract, the potential
adjustment in the Sparkling Incidence Rate will have a yearly cap, starting with the
Incidence Rate for 2010, that is based upon CPI. Attachment D illustrates
how Bottler and CCNA have agreed that the yearly cap on the maximum possible change
in the Incidence Rate will be calculated.

Classified — Confidential

 

 

Page 3

	 	e.	 	In addition to the annual review of the Incidence Rate described in the
preceding paragraph 5.d, CCNA may change the Incidence Rate at any time by giving not
less than 90 days prior written notice to Bottler, subject to the yearly cap described
in paragraph 5.d, if applicable. Should CCNA give notice of its intent to change the
Incidence Rate pursuant to this paragraph 5.e, Bottler shall have the right to
terminate this Program by giving written notice to CCNA not less than 15 days prior to
the date the change in Incidence Rate is scheduled to take effect.

	 
	 	f.	 	In order to help inform the calculations and decisions for paragraphs 5.d and
5.e above, the Bottler and CCNA may mutually elect and agree to share yearly category
P&L information to the Operating Income level with each other. Based upon this
information, CCNA may use a variety of economic indicators such as Bottler Revenue
Growth, GP margin, OI margin, and ROIC to inform, but not prescribe, potential
adjustments to the Incidence Rate (e.g., keep IR same, increase IR, or decrease IR) for
each of the Brands stated in section 1.

	 
	 	g.	 	If CCNA should add or change the formula or sweetener system for any Brand
during the Term, CCNA and the bottler will mutually determine whether to include the
affected Brand in the Program or whether to exclude the affected Brand and price it
pursuant to the Existing Contracts.

	 
	 	h.	 	At the Bottler’s option, base funding and contractually mandated funding as
described in Existing Contracts and in your annual agreement with CCNA, if any, may be
netted against the Incidence Rate (thus lowering the rate) and/or deducted from the
SBP, as illustrated in Attachment A. In addition, at the Bottler’s option, sales of
the Brands to customers in the full service vending channel may be excluded from
Covered Sales. If Bottler elects either of these options, Bottler’s election will be
set forth in Attachment A and may not be changed except by mutual consent.

	6.	 	Not later than two weeks before the end of each calendar quarter, the Bottler shall provide
CCNA with its volume and DNNSI calculations under paragraph 5 above for approximately the
first eleven weeks of the quarter together with such underlying details as reasonably
requested by CCNA. As soon as practicable after the end of the quarter, the Bottler will
update these numbers for the full quarter. The Bottler and CCNA shall then reconcile the
amounts actually paid to CCNA for concentrate billed at the SBP for each Brand during the
quarter (the “Total Standard Pricing Revenue” or “Total SPR”), against the Total IPR
calculated above for that quarter. If the Total SPR is less than the Total IPR, the Bottler
shall pay the difference to CCNA no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter.
Similarly, if the Total SPR is more than the Total IPR, CCNA shall pay the difference to the
Bottler no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter.

	 
	7.	 	Both parties shall be entitled to review the other’s calculations and all relevant underlying
records upon written request.

	 
	8.	 	Within two weeks of the end of every quarter, the Bottler will provide CCNA package level
data for volume, gross revenue, and CTM/CMA/Rebates for all of the Brands covered in the
Program.

Classified — Confidential

 

 

Page 4

	9.	 	The Bottler will make changes as needed to the views in its Route Settlement System (e.g.,
Margin Minder or other mutually agreeable system) to reflect the effective COGS under this
Program, and will use reasonable efforts to ensure that its key decision makers will have
access to the incidence pricing view in Margin Minder or other system, or make such other
changes that may be reasonably required in order to ensure that Bottler employees with
financial decision-making responsibility have access to Bottler’s effective COGS under this
Program when making decisions in the performance of their duties.

	 
	10.	 	The parties will meet on a timely basis to jointly develop a mutually agreeable reporting and
review process.

	 
	11.	 	Bottler will share with CCNA in a timely fashion its annual and quarterly forecasting
information for the average prices it expects to charge for each of the Brands by package, to
the extent that Bottler maintains such information in the ordinary course of its business.

	 
	12.	 	The purpose of this Program is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing
an alternative pricing system. Characteristics of this Program may or may not be extended
past the end of the Program specified in Section 2, and any such extensions must be by mutual
agreement.

	 
	13.	 	Attached as Attachment C is a form of Confidentiality Agreement that shall govern this
Agreement and the information shared between the parties pursuant to this Agreement.

	 
	14.	 	Rights of Reversion. If either Bottler or CCNA terminates this agreement as permitted in
paragraphs 2 and 5.e above, the parties will reconcile Total SPR against Total IPR as provided
in paragraph 6 through the end of the Term. Beginning on the first day of the quarter
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, CCNA will resume charging prices to
Bottler for the Brands in accordance with the terms of the Existing Contracts, Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to modify, change or amend the interpretation of the Existing
Contracts or the parties’ respective rights and obligations thereunder following termination
or expiration of this Agreement.

If this letter accurately sets forth our understanding and agreement, please sign below and return
one copy to me for our files.

Sincerely,

/s/ Alan Rabb

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

     THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 6th day of February, 2009,
by and between (BOTTLER) and THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, by and through its Coca-Cola North America
division (“KO”), under the following circumstances:

     A. KO has requested that BOTTLER allow KO access to certain of BOTTLER’S nonpublic information
concerning sales of beverages by BOTTLER. This information will include (without limitation) the
identity of individual accounts and will show all products sold under license from KO, sales
volume, invoice prices, allowances and discounts. The information described in the preceding
sentence is referred to in this Agreement as the “Confidential Information.”

     B. BOTTLER is willing to and agrees to allow certain KO employees (“KO Employees”) to have
such access to the Confidential Information, provided that KO agrees to the restrictions on the use
and disclosure of the Confidential Information as provided in this Agreement.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable legal
consideration, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Non-disclosure. KO will use the Confidential Information only for the internal
purposes of KO, and, except as permitted by this Agreement, shall make no disclosure whatsoever of
any Confidential Information.

     2. Restricted Access. KO will restrict access to the Confidential Information only to
KO Employees meeting all of the following criteria: (a) the KO Employee has a need to know this
information; (b) the KO Employee has been approved by an authorized KO official (i.e., above
Director level) to have access to the Confidential Information.

     3. No Warranty. The Confidential Information to which KO is being allowed access is
prepared in the ordinary business operations of BOTTLER and is believed to reflect correctly the
