SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

25.Changes To The Lenders

25.1Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

(a)Subject to this Clause 25, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

(i)assign any of its rights; or

(ii)transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

to another bank or financial institution (the “New Lender”) provided that the New Lender is a Qualifying Lender, as defined in paragraph (a) Clause 15.1 (Definitions).

(b)Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of its Commitment under this Clause 25 must be in a minimum amount of €5,000,000.

25.2Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)The consent of the Company (acting reasonably) is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is (a) to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

(b)The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Company will be deemed to have given its consent fifteen Business Days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company (acting reasonably) within that time.

(c)The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

(d)An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender.

(e)A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 25.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with. If the Existing Lender’s Facility Commitment exceeds its Swingline Commitment the Existing Lender may transfer or assign its Facility Commitment without transferring or assigning its Swingline Commitment until its Facility Commitment is equal to its Swingline Commitment. Thereafter a transfer or assignment by that Existing Lender to a New Lender of its Commitment shall only be effective if it transfers or assigns its share of each Facility pro rata.

51

(f)The performance by the Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Lender and the New Lender.

(g)If:

(i)a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 16 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

25.3Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of €1,500 unless such assignment or transfer is to an Existing Lender or an Affiliate of the Existing Lender whereby no fee will be payable.

25.4Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i)the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii)the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i)has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement

52

and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii)will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 25; or

(ii)support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

25.5Procedure for transfer

(a)Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (b) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b)On the Transfer Date:

(i)to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii)each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii)the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility

53

Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(iv)the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

25.6Disclosure of information

Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:

(a)to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(b)with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or

(c)to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

(c)the Recovering Lender shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments).

1.The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.  The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3.The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent as the cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank.

4.The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows:

Bis the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

Cis the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

Dis the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

77

Eis designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; and

(c)“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fee Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d)“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6.In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7.If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

(b)any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

78

and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10.The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

SCHEDULE 9
DISCLOSURE

1.The Greek Competition Authority issued a decision on January 25, 2002, imposing a fine on the Company of approximately €2.9 million for certain discount and rebate practices and requiring changes to its commercial practices with respect to placing coolers in certain locations and lending them free of charge. The fine related to its commercial dealings with certain wholesalers during the period from 1991 to 1999. On March 27, 2002, the Company appealed this decision before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal. The complainants in the initial proceedings before the Greek Competition Authority also filed a counter appeal against the Greek Competition Authority’s decision, challenging the dismissal of part of their complaints by such authority. On June 16, 2004, the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal issued its decision partly upholding the Company’s  appeal. In particular, the Court of Appeal decided to reduce the amount of the fine to €1.8 million and upheld the required changes to the Company’s commercial practices with respect to coolers. The counter appeals filed against the Company were rejected. In relation to this court decision, one of the Company’s competitors has filed a lawsuit against us claiming €7.7 million in compensation for damages which he allegedly sustained as a result of the commercial practices of the Company described above. At present it is not possible to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or quantify the likelihood or materiality of any potential liability arising from it. On June 29, 2005, the Greek Competition Authority requested the Company to provide information regarding its commercial practices as a result of a complaint by a third party regarding its level of compliance with its decision of January 25, 2002. At this time the Company cannot predict if the Greek Competition Authority will take any further action. In its decision dated January 25, 2002, the Greek Competition Authority indicated that it also intends to review the Company’s commercial practices in the future consumption channel and with key accounts in Greece. To date, the Company  has received no further notification from the Greek Competition Authority with respect to this review. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this review or to quantify the likelihood or materiality of any potential liability arising from this proceeding as far as it relates to the Company’s commercial practices in the future consumption channel and with key accounts in Greece.

2.Local authorities in Romania have argued that a classification different from the classification which the Company currently uses should apply. As a result of such different classification, the Company would be required to pay additional customs duties  retroactively for past imports of concentrate as well as for all future imports. Since November 2001, the Company has won 20 cases in the Romanian courts brought against it by the Romanian customs authorities. However, in October 2003, the Romanian Supreme Court ruled against the Company position in one decision, resulting in a judgment of approximately €2.1 million in customs duties, associated VAT and penalties. There are a number of additional cases relating to concentrate classification pending before the Romanian courts. It is not possible to quantify the likelihood or materiality of any potential liability arising from these legal proceedings due to the legal uncertainty surrounding customs duties in Romania.

3.In March 2002, the Lagos State Government applied to the High Court of the State of Lagos for an injunction against Nigerian Bottling Company plc, or NBC, the Company’s operating subsidiary in Nigeria, seeking payment from NBC of approximately €4 million in arrears of sales tax for the period from January to May 2001, inclusive of a 5% penalty for alleged late payment. The initial hearing of this case was held on April 16, 2003. The case continues. In July 2001, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, or the MAN, on behalf of its members separately challenged the constitutionality of the law, which introduced the sales tax in 2000 before the High Court of the State of Lagos. In November, 2003, the High Court of the State of Lagos ruled in favour of the Lagos State Government, denying relief, in part, by declaring the Lagos Sales Tax Law valid only in respect of intra state trade while the federal VAT Law was declared valid only for inter state trade. The MAN has appealed the ruling of the High Court of the State of Lagos to the Federal Court of Appeal. NBC is a member of the MAN. If the outcome of these proceedings is unfavourable to NBC, other Nigerian states may decide to impose a similar sales tax on sales of its products. No hearing has commenced yet in respect of the appeal.
