Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 20, 2015, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (together, the “Underwriters”), for the sale of $350 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.800% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-195927) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 13, 2014 and declared effective on May 22, 2014. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, indemnification and contribution obligations and other customary terms and conditions. The Company sold the Notes to the Underwriters on November 25, 2015, and the Company received net proceeds, after expenses and the underwriting discount, of approximately $346.5 million.

The Notes are governed by and were issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture, dated as of July 20, 1994, as amended, supplemented and restated by a supplemental indenture, dated as of March 3, 1995 (as amended, supplemented and restated, the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a second supplemental indenture, dated as of November 25, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally and ratably with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Indenture contains a limitation on the Company’s ability to incur or guarantee indebtedness that is secured by a mortgage on any of its principal properties, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture also limits the Company’s ability to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to its principal properties. The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The Company does not intend to apply for the listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of such Notes on any automated dealer quotation system.

The Notes will mature on November 25, 2025, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.800% per annum. The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 25 and November 25 of each year, beginning on May 25, 2016. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Payments of principal and interest to owners of book-entry interests are expected to be made in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company and its participants in effect from time to time.

At any time prior to August 25, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Notes from time to time at a redemption price, to be calculated by the Company, equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed from the redemption date to the maturity date discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture) plus 25 basis points. In such event, the Company would also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after August 25, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price, to be calculated by the Company, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

In addition, upon a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture), the holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to the date of purchase (unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes).

The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions that have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, commercial banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates. In particular, the affiliates of some of the Underwriters are participants in the Company’s multi-year revolving credit facility described in its filings with the SEC. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions or other payments for these transactions.

The Trustee and/or its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates, including investment banking services, acting as trustee for other notes issued by the Company and acting as lenders under various loan facilities. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions or other payments for these transactions.

The foregoing summaries of documents described above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto or otherwise on file with the Commission.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.800% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of July 20, 1994, as amended and supplemented, and restated by a supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 1995, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I hereto other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 21 hereof.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-195927), including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, has become effective. The Company may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x). The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.

(b) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Date of Delivery (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date and on the Date of Delivery, the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Date of Delivery, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(c) The Disclosure Package does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(d) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of the Securities and (ii) as of the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 under the Act that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

(e) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein by reference and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(f) Since December 28, 2014, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus: (i) there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”), considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Change”), (ii) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise and (iii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock, other than regular quarterly dividends declared, paid or made in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices.

(g) Each of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries has been duly organized or incorporated and is validly existing as a partnership, corporation or limited liability company in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and is duly qualified or registered to do business as a foreign partnership,

corporation or limited liability company and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure to so qualify or register would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined).

(h) All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other ownership interests, as the case may be (collectively, the “Ownership Interests”), of each of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, and, with respect to each corporate subsidiary, are fully paid and non-assessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, all of the Ownership Interests of each of the consolidated subsidiaries are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interest or any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

(i) The Company’s authorized equity capitalization is as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

(j) There is no franchise, contract or other document of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit thereto, which is not described or filed as required.

(k) This Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(l) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming due authorization and execution thereof by the Trustee) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and the Securities have been duly authorized, and, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and sold and paid for as provided in this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding, and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and the Securities, when issued and delivered, will conform to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

(m) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(q) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and delivered their report with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, are independent public accountants with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder.

threatened that (i) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Piedmont, considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Effect”), except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(t) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns or leases all material properties as are reasonably necessary to the conduct of its operations as presently conducted.

(u) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation or default of (i) any provision of its charter or bylaws or similar organizational documents, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which it is a party or bound or to which its property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or such subsidiary or any of its properties, as applicable, which violation or default described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Except in any case in which the failure so to do would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), the Company has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns that are required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof and has paid all taxes required to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good faith.

(w) No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or its subsidiaries’ principal suppliers, contractors or customers, that in any such case referred to in this paragraph (w) would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(x) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are reasonably customary in the business in which it is engaged; all material policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its business, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect; the

Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage (considered in the aggregate) as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage (considered in the aggregate) from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except for all matters described in this paragraph as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and for other facts, events, circumstances and costs that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(y) No subsidiary of the Company is prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company, except (i) for restrictions imposed by applicable law, (ii) for restrictions that would not impair in any material respects the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Securities and (iii) as described in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(z) The Company and its subsidiaries possess all licenses, certificates, permits and other authorizations issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(aa) The Company and its subsidiaries are (i) in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, such failure to receive and be in compliance with required permits, licenses or other approvals, or such liability would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(bb) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the

Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(cc) The Company and its subsidiaries own, possess, license or have other rights to use all patents, patent applications, trade and service marks, trade and service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, technology, know-how and other intellectual property necessary in all material respects for the conduct of the Company’s business as now conducted or as proposed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus to be conducted.

(dd) There is and has been no material failure on the part of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

(ee) The Company maintains a system of “internal control over financial reporting”, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As of December 28, 2014, management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such assessment, management of the Company determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2014. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting since such date that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(ff) The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management of the Company most recently performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of such disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, management of the Company concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Disclosure Package.

5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission, (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or, to the Company’s knowledge, the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or, to the Company’s knowledge, the threatening of any

proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b) To prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, in the form approved by you and attached as Schedule III hereto and to file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(c) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Final Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(e) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(f) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the signed Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering.

(g) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate (provided, however, that in connection therewith, the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject) and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities.

(h) The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than a free writing prospectus containing the information contained in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule II hereto. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”. The Company agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and recordkeeping.

(i) Until the date immediately following the Date of Delivery, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the Securities).

(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(k) The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any required blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) any required registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (vi) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); (vii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section 5 and Section 7 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on the resale of any Securities by them, and any advertising costs connected with any offers they make.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Date of Delivery, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section 5(b) hereto, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

(b) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives the written opinion of Moore & Van Allen PLLC, counsel for the Company, dated the Date of Delivery and addressed to the Underwriters, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Date of Delivery, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Date of Delivery with the same effect as if made on the Date of Delivery and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be complied with or satisfied at or prior to the Date of Delivery;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no Material Adverse Change, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(e) The Representatives shall have received on the date hereof a letter, dated the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus. On the Date of Delivery, the Representatives shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, a letter dated the Date of Delivery to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter specified in the first sentence of this paragraph (e).

(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(h) Prior to the Date of Delivery, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request in order to evidence or confirm the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth herein, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or before the Date of Delivery, and the fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a

default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one Underwriters’ counsel and one local counsel in each jurisdiction) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii) (A) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (B) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (C) the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids under

the heading “Underwriting” in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) that would otherwise be

subject to indemnity pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no such case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the

aggregate principal amount of the Securities, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Date of Delivery shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (a) there has been any Material Adverse Change, (b) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq Stock Market or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges, (c) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York State authorities or (d) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, in the exercise of the power and authority conferred upon and reserved to it under the provisions of the Indenture and pursuant to appropriate resolutions of the Board of Directors, has duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this Second Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture in order to issue a new series of debt securities to be designated as the “3.800% Senior Notes due 2025” (the “Notes”), and to set forth the respective terms that will be applicable thereto and the form thereof;

WHEREAS, Sections 201, 301 and 901 of the Indenture provide, among other things, that the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of Holders, enter into indentures supplemental to the Indenture to provide for specific terms applicable to any series of notes; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

APPLICATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

AND CREATION OF NOTES

Section 1.01 Application of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Notes. The Notes constitute a separate series of notes as provided in Section 301 of the Indenture.

Section 1.02 Effect of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

With respect to the Notes only, the Indenture shall be supplemented pursuant to Sections 201, 301 and 901 thereof to establish the terms of the Notes as set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture, including as follows:

(a)

The definitions set forth in Section 101 of the Indenture shall be modified to the extent provided in Article II of this Second Supplemental Indenture; and

(b)

The form and terms of the securities representing the Notes required to be established pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture shall be established in accordance with Sections 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06 and 1.07 of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

Section 1.03 Designation and Amount of Notes.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “3.800% Senior Notes due 2025.” The initial maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Second Supplemental Indenture shall not exceed $350,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Notes pursuant to Sections 204, 304, 305, 306 or 906 of the Indenture; provided that the Company may from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue Securities (“Additional Notes”) having the same terms (except for the issue date and, in some cases, the public offering price and the first interest payment date) as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes in all respects. Any Additional Notes, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of Securities for purposes of the Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

Section 1.04 Terms; Form of Security.

The Notes initially will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes are issuable in fully registered, book-entry form by one or more global notes without coupons and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, which will be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC shall be the Depositary with respect to the Notes. The Notes are not issuable in bearer form. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Company, by its execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereto. Any of the Notes may have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted hereby and by the Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange, DTC, any organizational document or governing instrument or applicable law or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Each global note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and

each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

Section 1.05 Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The Notes shall mature, and the principal of the Notes shall be due and payable in U.S. Dollars to the Holders thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on November 25, 2025 (the Stated Maturity of principal of the Notes).

(b) The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 3.800% per annum from and including November 25, 2015, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (defined below) on which interest has been paid or provided for until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears in U.S. Dollars on May 25 and November 25 of each year, commencing on May 25, 2016 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date” for the purposes of the Notes under this Second Supplemental Indenture). Payments of interest shall be made to the Person in whose name a Note (or predecessor Note) is registered (which shall initially be the Depositary) at the close of business on the May 10 or November 10, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date” for the purposes of the Notes under this Second Supplemental Indenture).

(c) For so long as the Notes are represented by one or more global notes, all payments of principal and interest shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global notes representing such Notes. In the event that definitive Notes shall have been issued, all payments of principal and interest shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to the accounts of the registered Holders thereof; provided, that the Company may elect to make such payments at the office of the Paying Agent in New York City; and provided, further, that the Company may at its option pay interest by check to the registered address of each Holder of a definitive Note.

(d) The Notes shall trade in the Depositary’s same-day funds settlement system until Stated Maturity (or until they are subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture) and secondary market trading activity in the Notes may be required by the Depositary to settle in immediately available funds.

(e) The Notes are subject to redemption by the Company in whole or in part in the manner described herein.

Section 1.06 Ranking.

The Notes shall be the Company’s unsecured obligations and will rank equally and ratably with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Section 1.07 Sinking Fund.

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

Section 2.01 Definitions.

(a) All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

(b) The following are definitions used in this Second Supplemental Indenture and to the extent that a term is defined both herein and in the Indenture, the definition in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern with respect to the Notes.

“Acquiring Person” means any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than (a) the Company or one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (b) The Coca-Cola Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries or (c) J. Frank Harrison, III or one or more Harrison Family Members.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ assets taken as a whole to any Acquiring Person;

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Acquiring Person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Acquiring Person, or any Acquiring Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Equity or the Voting Equity of such other Acquiring Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Equity outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Equity of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

(4) the first day on which the majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors ceases to be Continuing Directors;

(5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; or

(6) the consummation of a so-called “going private/Rule 13e-3 transaction” that results in any of the effects described in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision), following which J. Frank Harrison, III or any Harrison Family Members beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Equity of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Equity immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Equity of such holding company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). Unless both of the Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

“Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s board of directors who: (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date the

Notes were issued; or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such board of directors by or with the approval (given either before or after such member’s election or appointment) of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Harrison Family Individuals” means (a) J. Frank Harrison, III, (b) his spouse and (c) the lineal descendants of J. Frank Harrison, Jr.

“Harrison Family Member” means (a) Harrison Family Individuals, (b) trusts, corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other estate planning vehicles for the benefit of Harrison Family Individuals or (c) any other person; provided that, with respect to clauses (b) and (c), in the case of a trust, a majority of the trustees are Harrison Family Individuals, and in the case of any other person, one or more Harrison Family Individuals is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Equity, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, of such person.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its subsidiaries.

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, will be selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (ii) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and (iii) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (iv) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill Financial, Inc., and its successors.

“Subsidiary” means, with respect to any person, any entity of which securities or other ownership interests having the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions of such entity are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such person or one or more Subsidiaries of such person; provided, however, that Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary of the Company so long as it owns greater than a 50% economic interest therein.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Voting Equity” of any specified person as of any date means the securities or other ownership interests of such person that are at the same time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person or other persons performing similar functions.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 25, 2025 at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i)

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(ii)

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed from the redemption date to the maturity date discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points.

The Company will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In addition, at any time on or after August 25, 2025, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Company will calculate the Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption will be sent at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest).

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Section 4.01 Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Triggering Event occurred or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with the procedures of DTC), a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and specifying:

(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.01 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes;

(iv) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(vi) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(ix) if the notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(Reverse of Note)

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED

3.800% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2025

1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 3.800% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of July 20, 1994, as amended, supplemented and restated by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 1995 (herein called, together with the Second Supplemental Indenture referred to below and all other indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor trustee to NationsBank of Georgia, National Association and Citibank, N.A. (pursuant to an Agreement of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance dated January 15, 2007)), as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee thereto with respect to the Notes under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

2. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350,000,000, which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Notes of this series, as specified in the Second Supplemental Indenture among the Company and the Trustee and as Security Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Notes, dated as of November 25, 2015, establishing the form and certain terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). References herein to “this series” mean the series of Notes designated on the face hereof.

3. The Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time prior to August 25, 2025 at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed from the redemption date to the maturity date discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points.

The Company will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company will calculate the Redemption Price.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations; or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (ii) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and (iii) a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined herein) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (iv) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption pursuant to this paragraph 3 hereof

will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.

4. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to the date of purchase. The Change of Control Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.

5. If an Acceleration Event with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all Notes due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. An “Acceleration Event” is an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Company as more specifically defined by the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration and its consequences may, in certain events, be annulled by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.

6. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

7. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

8. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in New York, New York, or at such other office or agency as may be established by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the

Indenture (initially the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York, New York), duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

9. The Notes are issuable only in fully registered book-entry form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes in authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

10. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

11. Prior to the due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer or exchange, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

12. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall be payable to and excluding any Interest Payment Date.

13. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

14. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent.

15. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUT (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offer and sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.800% Senior Notes due November 25, 2025 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-195927) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and as described in the prospectus, dated May 22, 2014 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement, dated November 20, 2015 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The Company agreed to sell the Notes to a group of underwriters pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated November 20, 2015 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company and the representatives of the several underwriters named therein.

The Notes are governed by and were issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture, dated as of July 20, 1994, as amended, supplemented and restated by a supplemental indenture, dated as of March 3, 1995 (as amended, supplemented and restated, the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor trustee) (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture, dated as of November 25, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company (including, without limitation, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the global certificate evidencing the Notes in the form executed and delivered by the Company to, and authenticated by, the Trustee, resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted on August 12, 2015, the action of pricing committee, dated November 17, 2015, and the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, each as certified by the Secretary of the Company as of the date hereof), such certificates of public officials and such other documents and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company and others, in each case, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed. In all such investigations and examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons executing documents and certificates submitted to us, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents submitted to us, the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies and that any certificate or document upon which we have relied and which was given or dated earlier than the date of this letter continues to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions contained herein, from such earlier date through and including the date hereof.
