Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2011, the Company identified an error in the treatment of accrued additions for property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This error affected the year-to-date Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented in each of the quarters of 2010, including the year-end consolidated financial statements for 2010, as well as the first quarter of 2011 and resulted in an understatement of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities for each of the impacted periods. In accordance with accounting guidance presented in ASC 250-10 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality), the Company assessed the materiality of the error and concluded that the error was not material to any of the Company’s previously issued financial statements taken as a whole. The Company will revise previously issued financial statements to correct the effect of this error. This revision did not affect the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets for any of these periods.

2. Seasonality of Business
Historically, operating results for the third quarter and the first nine months of the fiscal year have not been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily from higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.
3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership
On July 2, 1993, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company formed Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”) to distribute and market nonalcoholic beverages primarily in portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company provides a portion of the nonalcoholic beverage products to Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the operations of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling interest as of October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 primarily represents the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company’s interest in Piedmont was 22.7% for all periods presented.

10. Debt
On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into a new $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (“$200 million facility”). This replaced the existing $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, dated March 8, 2007 scheduled to mature in March 2012. The new $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016. Borrowings under the agreement will bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 or lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on either $200 million facility.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating bank. On October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit.
The Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.8% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 6.0% for YTD 2011 compared to 5.9% for YTD 2010. As of October 2, 2011, none of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $598.2 million were subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
The Company’s public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.
All of the outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company with none being issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Company’s debt level and the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are performed to review the impact on the Company’s financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
On September 18, 2008, the Company terminated six outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $225 million receiving $6.2 million in cash proceeds including $1.1 million for previously accrued interest receivable. After accounting for the previously accrued interest receivable, the Company began amortizing a gain of $5.1 million over the remaining term of the underlying debt. As of October 2, 2011, the remaining amount to be amortized was $1.7 million. All of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements were LIBOR-based.
During both YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, the Company amortized deferred gains related to terminated interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements of $0.9 million which was recorded as a reduction to interest expense.
The Company had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010.
Commodities
The Company is subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage commodity price risk. Currently, the Company has derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its projected diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline and aluminum purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the Company’s diesel fuel purchases for 2010 and is using derivative instruments to hedge all of the Company’s projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the Company’s delivery fleet and other vehicles. The Company used derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the Company’s aluminum purchase requirements in 2010 and is using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the Company’s projected aluminum purchase requirements for 2011.
The following table summarizes Q3 2011 and Q3 2010 net gains and losses on the Company’s fuel and aluminum derivative financial instruments and the classification, either as cost of sales or selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expenses, of such net gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations:

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items.
Public Debt Securities
The fair values of the Company’s public debt securities are based on estimated current market prices.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Non-Public Variable Rate Debt
The carrying amounts of the Company’s variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets/Liabilities
The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual funds, are based upon the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values for the Company’s fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements are based on current settlement values. The fair values of the fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements at each balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon termination of these agreements. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s debt, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, and derivative financial instruments were as follows:

14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a member of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (“SAC”), a manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis through May 2014. The Company is also a member of Southeastern Container (“Southeastern”), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning SAC and Southeastern.
The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt and lease obligations. The amounts guaranteed were $35.2 million, $29.0 million and $35.7 million as of October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with these guarantees and holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees. The guarantees relate to the debt and lease obligations of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at various dates through 2021. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill its commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of their products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees. In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt and lease obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees on October 2, 2011 would have been $25.2 million for SAC and $25.3 million for Southeastern and the Company’s maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $32.0 million for SAC and $43.2 million for Southeastern.
The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC for more than ten years and has never had to pay against these guarantees.
The Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities in addition to the guarantees of certain indebtedness and records its investment in each under the equity method. As of October 2, 2011, SAC had total assets of $42.2 million and total debt of $19.2 million. SAC had total revenues for YTD 2011 of $135.5 million. As of October 2, 2011, Southeastern had total assets of $378.5 million and total debt of $189.4 million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2011 of $529.0 million.
The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On October 2, 2011, these letters of credit totaled $20.8 million. The Company was required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit beginning in the second quarter of 2009 which was reduced to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 and to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. As of October 2, 2011, the Company maintained $3.0 million of restricted cash for these letters of credit.
The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual arrangements as of October 2, 2011 amounted to $23.2 million and expire at various dates through 2020.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
During May 2010, Nashville, Tennessee experienced a severe rain storm which caused extensive flood damage in the area. The Company has a production/sales distribution facility located in the flooded area. Due to damage incurred during this flood, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $.2 million on uninsured cold drink equipment. This loss was offset by gains of approximately $1.1 million for the excess of insurance proceeds received as compared to the net book value of production equipment damaged as a result of the flood. In YTD 2010, the Company recorded a receivable of $7.1 million for insured losses of which $1.5 million had already been paid by the end of Q3 2010. All receivables were recorded for insured losses during fiscal year 2010 and were collected in 2010.
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.
The Company is subject to audit by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the tax authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any assessments that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
15. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, for YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was 35.5% and 34.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by the difference of income before income taxes minus net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, for YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was 37.7% and 37.0%, respectively.

15. Income Taxes
As of October 2, 2011, the Company had $4.4 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $2.1 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company had $4.8 million of uncertain tax positions as of January 2, 2011, including accrued interest, of which $2.5 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company had $4.5 million of uncertain tax positions as of October 3, 2010, including accrued interest, of which $2.4 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect any change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011, and October 3, 2010, the Company had approximately $.4 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense included interest expense of approximately $.1 million in YTD 2011 and an interest credit of approximately $.5 million in YTD 2010.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 enacted on March 30, 2010 include provisions that will reduce the tax benefits available to employers that receive Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded tax expense totaling $.5 million related to changes made to the tax deductibility of Medicare Part D subsidies.
In Q3 2010, the Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense. The reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions was due mainly to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.
In Q3 2011, the Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by $.9 million. The net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense. The reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions was due mainly to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.
Various tax years from 1993 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject due to loss carryforwards.
The Company’s income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based on the Company’s ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that becomes available to the Company.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at all meetings of stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters brought before the Company’s stockholders. In the event of liquidation, there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.
On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for J. Frank Harrison, III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of 400,000 performance units (“Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Units vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year equals the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan.
Each annual 40,000 Unit tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, each 40,000 Unit tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date and requisite service period. The Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance requirements for the Performance Unit Award Agreement, are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year. The Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividends or voting rights until each installment has vested and the shares are issued. Mr. Harrison, III may satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the Company to settle in cash such number of Units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet the maximum statutory tax withholding requirements.
On March 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock should be issued pursuant to the Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with his services in 2009 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award Agreement, 17,680 of such shares were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance units.
On March 8, 2011, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock should be issued pursuant to the Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with his services in 2010 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award Agreement, 17,680 of such shares were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance units.
Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in YTD 2011 was $1.7 million, which was based upon a share price of $55.46 on September 30, 2011. Compensation expense recognized in YTD 2010 was $1.6 million, which was based upon a share price of $52.94 on October 1, 2010.
The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2011 was due to the issuance of the 22,320 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement. The increase in the total number

401(k) Savings Plan
The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of the Company’s full-time employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements. The Company matched the first 3% of its employees’ contributions for 2010 and 2011. The Company maintains the option to increase the matching contributions by an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Company’s employees based on the financial results. Based on the Company’s financial results, the Company decided to increase the matching contributions for the additional 2% for the entire year of 2010. The Company made these additional payments for each quarter in 2010 in the following quarter concluding with the fourth quarter 2010 payment being made in the first quarter of 2011. The 2% matching contributions have been accrued during YTD 2011. The total cost, including the estimate for the additional 2% matching contributions, for this benefit in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was $6.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Multi-Employer Benefits
The Company entered into a new agreement in the third quarter of 2008 after one of its collective bargaining contracts expired in July 2008. The new agreement allowed the Company to freeze its liability to Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (“Central States”), a multi-employer defined benefit pension fund, while preserving the pension benefits previously earned by the employees. As a result of freezing the Company’s liability to Central States, the Company recorded a charge of $13.6 million in the second half of 2008. The Company paid $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan (“Southern States”) under the agreement to freeze the Central States liability. The remaining $10.6 million was the present value amount, using a discount rate of 7% that will be paid to Central States over the next 20 years and was recorded in other liabilities.

The Company leases from Harrison Limited Partnership One (“HLP”) the Snyder Production Center (“SPC”) and an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On March 23, 2009, the Company modified the lease agreement (new terms began on January 1, 2011) with HLP related to the SPC lease. The modified lease would not have changed the classification of the existing lease had it been in effect in the first quarter of 2002, when the capital lease was recorded, as the Company received a renewal option to extend the

term of the lease, which it expected to exercise. The modified lease did not extend the term of the existing lease (remaining lease term was reduced from approximately 22 years to approximately 12 years). Accordingly, the present value of the leased property under capital leases and capital lease obligations was adjusted by an amount equal to the difference between the future minimum lease payments under the modified lease agreement and the present value of the existing obligation on the modification date. The capital lease obligations and leased property under capital leases were both decreased by $7.5 million in March 2009. The annual base rent the Company is obligated to pay under the modified lease is subject to an adjustment for an inflation factor. The prior lease annual base rent was subject to adjustment for an inflation factor and for increases or decreases in interest rates, using LIBOR as the measurement device. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease as of October 2, 2011 was $26.1 million. Rental payments related to this lease were $2.5 million and $2.4 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.

Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 88% of the Company’s YTD 2011 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of these products or of the concentrates or syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 12% of the Company’s YTD 2011 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies and the Company. The Company has beverage agreements under which it has various requirements to meet. Failure to meet the requirements of these beverage agreements could result in the loss of distribution rights for the respective product.
The Coca-Cola Company acquired the North American operations of CCE in October of 2010. This transaction may cause uncertainty within the Coca-Cola bottler system or adversely impact the Company and the Company’s business. At this time, however, it is unknown whether the transaction will have a material impact on the Company’s business or financial results.
The Company’s products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and other outlets. During YTD 2011, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. During YTD 2010, approximately 69% of the Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 31% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 21% and 9%, respectively, of the Company’s total bottle/can volume to retail customers in YTD 2011; and accounted for approximately 25% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s total bottle/can volume to retail customers in YTD 2010. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 15% and 17% of the Company’s total net sales during YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.
The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from two domestic suppliers. The Company currently obtains all of its plastic bottles from two domestic entities. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The Company is exposed to price risk on such commodities as aluminum, corn and resin which affects the cost of raw materials used in the production of finished products. The Company both produces and procures these finished products. Examples of the raw materials affected are aluminum cans and plastic bottles used for packaging and high fructose corn syrup used as a product ingredient. Further, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk on crude oil which impacts the Company’s cost of fuel used in the movement and delivery of the Company’s products. The Company participates in commodity hedging and risk mitigation programs administered both by CCBSS and by the Company. In addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can charge for concentrate.
Certain liabilities of the Company are subject to risk due to changes in both long-term and short-term interest rates. These liabilities include floating rate debt, retirement benefit obligations and the Company’s pension liability.

22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 7% of the Company’s labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. One of these collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 2% of the Company’s employees expired in April 2011 and the Company entered into a new agreement during the second quarter of 2011. One collective bargaining agreement covering approximately 4% of the Company’s employees expired in July 2011 and the Company entered into a new agreement during Q3 2011. No other collective bargaining agreements will expire during the remainder of 2011.
23. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which requires additional disclosures about an employer’s participating in multi-employer pension plans. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance relative to the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2011, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (“the Company”) identified an error in the treatment of accrued additions for property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has revised prior period financial statements to correct this immaterial error. Refer to Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies — Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements for further details. This error affected the year-to-date Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information presented for each of the quarters of 2010, including the year-end consolidated financial statements for 2010, as well as the first quarter of 2011 and resulted in an understatement of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities for each of the impacted periods. This revision did not affect the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets for any of these periods. The discussion and analysis included herein is based on the financial results (and revised Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) for the third quarter ended October 3, 2010 and the nine months ended October 3, 2010.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“M,D&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. M,D&A includes the following sections:
 	•	 	Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry — a general description of the Company’s business and the nonalcoholic beverage industry.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Areas of Emphasis — a summary of the Company’s key priorities.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Overview of Operations and Financial Condition — a summary of key information and trends concerning the financial results for the third quarter of 2011 (“Q3 2011”) and the first nine months of 2011 (“YTD 2011”) and changes from the third quarter of 2010 (“Q3 2010”) and the first nine months of 2010 (“YTD 2010”).	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements — a discussion of accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require critical judgments and estimates and the expected impact of new accounting pronouncements.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Results of Operations — an analysis of the Company’s results of operations for Q3 2011 and YTD 2011 compared to Q3 2010 and YTD 2010, respectively.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Financial Condition — an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of the end of Q3 2011 compared to year-end 2010 and the end of Q3 2010 as presented in the consolidated financial statements.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Liquidity and Capital Resources — an analysis of capital resources, cash sources and uses, investing activities, financing activities, off-balance sheet arrangements, aggregate contractual obligations and hedging activities.	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.	
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated operations of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries including Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”). The noncontrolling interest primarily consists of The Coca-Cola Company’s interest in Piedmont, which was 22.7% for all periods presented.
During May 2010, Nashville, Tennessee experienced a severe rain storm which caused extensive flood damage in the area. The Company has a production/sales distribution facility located in the flooded area. Due to damage incurred during this flood, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $.2 million on uninsured cold drink equipment. This loss was offset by gains of approximately $1.1 million for the excess of insurance proceeds

received as compared to the net book value of production equipment damaged as a result of the flood. In YTD 2010, the Company recorded a receivable of $7.1 million for insured losses of which $1.5 million had already been paid by the end of Q3 2010. All receivables were recorded for insured losses during fiscal year 2010 and were collected in 2010.
Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry
The Company produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca-Cola Company, which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the world. The Company is the largest independent bottler of products of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States, distributing these products in eleven states primarily in the Southeast. The Company also distributes several other beverage brands. These product offerings include both sparkling and still beverages. Sparkling beverages are carbonated beverages including energy products. Still beverages are noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. The Company had full year net sales of $1.5 billion in 2010.
The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Company’s competitors include bottlers and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products and private label products. In each region in which the Company operates, between 85% and 95% of sparkling beverage sales in bottles, cans and other containers are accounted for by the Company and its principal competitors, which in each region includes the local bottler of Pepsi-Cola and, in some regions, the local bottler of Dr Pepper, Royal Crown and/or 7-Up products. The sparkling beverage category (including energy products) represents 82% of the Company’s YTD 2011 bottle/can net sales.
The principal methods of competition in the nonalcoholic beverage industry are point-of-sale merchandising, new product introductions, new vending and dispensing equipment, packaging changes, pricing, price promotions, product quality, retail space management, customer service, frequency of distribution and advertising. The Company believes it is competitive in its territories with respect to each of these methods.
Historically, operating results for the third quarter and the first nine months of the fiscal year have not been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily from higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.
The Company performs its annual impairment test of franchise rights and goodwill as of the first day of the fourth quarter. During YTD 2011, the Company did not experience any triggering events or changes in circumstances that indicated the carrying amounts of the Company’s franchise rights or goodwill exceeded fair values. As such, the Company has not recognized any impairments of franchise rights or goodwill.
The Coca-Cola Company acquired Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (“CCE”) on October 2, 2010. In connection with the transaction, CCE changed its name to Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), and transferred its beverage operations outside of North America to an independent third party. As a result of the transaction, the North American operations of CCE are now included in CCR. In M,D&A, references to “CCR” refer to CCR and CCE as it existed prior to the acquisition by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company had a significant equity interest in CCE prior to the acquisition.

Areas of Emphasis
Key priorities for the Company include revenue management, product innovation and beverage portfolio expansion, distribution cost management and productivity.
Revenue Management
Revenue management requires a strategy which reflects consideration for pricing of brands and packages within product categories and channels, highly effective working relationships with customers and disciplined fact-based decision-making. Revenue management has been and continues to be a key performance driver which has significant impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Product Innovation and Beverage Portfolio Expansion
Innovation of both new brands and packages has been and will continue to be critical to the Company’s overall revenue. During 2008, the Company tested the 16-ounce bottle/24-ounce bottle package for many of the Company’s sparkling beverages in select convenience stores and introduced it companywide in 2009. New packaging introductions included the 7.5-ounce sleek can in 2010 and the 2-liter contour bottle for Coca-Cola products during 2009.
The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Tum-E Yummies, a vitamin C enhanced flavored drink, Country Breeze tea, diet Country Breeze tea, Bean & Body, Simmer and Bazza energy tea. These brands enable the Company to participate in strong growth categories and capitalize on distribution channels that may include the Company’s traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside the Company’s traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory. While the growth prospects of Company-owned or exclusively licensed brands appear promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing these brands is anticipated to be significant as well.
Distribution Cost Management
Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $144.5 million and $140.3 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively. Over the past several years, the Company has focused on converting its distribution system from a conventional routing system to a predictive system. This conversion to a predictive system has allowed the Company to more
39

 
efficiently handle increasing numbers of products. In addition, the Company has closed a number of smaller sales distribution centers over the past several years reducing its fixed warehouse-related costs.
The Company has three primary delivery systems for its current business:
 	•	 	bulk delivery for large supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores;	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	advanced sales delivery for convenience stores, drug stores, small supermarkets and certain on-premise accounts; and	
 	 	 	 	
 	•	 	full service delivery for its full service vending customers.	
Distribution cost management will continue to be a key area of emphasis for the Company.
Productivity
A key driver in the Company’s selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expense management relates to ongoing improvements in labor productivity and asset productivity.

The Company’s net sales increased 2.7% in Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010. The Company’s net sales increased 2.4% in YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010. The increases in net sales were primarily due to a .9% and 1.8% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit in Q3 2011 and YTD 2011 compared to Q3 2010 and YTD 2010. The increases in bottle/can sales price per unit were primarily due to increases in sales price per unit in sparkling beverages and a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of still beverage sales. Still beverages have a higher sales price per unit than sparkling beverages. Bottle/can sales volume was unchanged in Q3 2011
41

 
compared to Q3 2010 and decreased .9% in YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010. The decrease in bottle/can volume in YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in 12-ounce can sparkling beverages volume partially offset by an increase in still beverage volume.
Gross margin dollars decreased 6.0% in Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased to 40.1% for Q3 2011 from 43.8% for Q3 2010. Gross margin dollars decreased 2.1% in YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased to 40.2% in YTD 2011 from 42.0% in YTD 2010. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to higher costs of raw materials and partially offset by higher sales price per unit for bottle/can volume. Higher cost related to the Company’s aluminum hedging program also reduced Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 gross margin percentage.
The following inputs represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total cost of goods sold: (1) sweeteners, (2) packaging materials, including plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and (3) full goods purchased from other vendors. The Company anticipates that the cost of the underlying commodities related to these inputs will continue to face upward cost pressure. The Company expects gross margins to be lower throughout the remainder of 2011 compared to 2010 due to the impact of the rising commodity costs if these costs cannot be offset with price increases.
S,D&A expenses decreased 1.2% in Q3 2011 from Q3 2010. S,D&A expenses decreased .4% in YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in Q3 2011 from Q3 2010 was attributable to decreased bonus and incentive expense and decreased employee benefit expense, primarily pension expense, offset primarily by an increase in employee salaries and wages and an increase in marketing expense. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in YTD 2011 from YTD 2010 was attributable to decreased bonus and incentive expense, decreased employee benefit expense, primarily pension expense, and decreased property and casualty insurance expense offset primarily by an increase in employee salaries and wages, an increase in marketing expense and an increase in fuel costs.
Net interest expense increased 2.8% and 1.7% in Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 and YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the Company entering into two new capital leases in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations increased to 6.0% during YTD 2011 from 5.9% during YTD 2010. This increase is the result of the conversion of one of the Company’s capital leases from a floating rate to a fixed rate in late 2010, combined with the Company’s use of short-term borrowings in the first half of 2010 at low variable rates relative to the fixed rates on the Company’s Senior Debt.
Net debt and capital lease obligations were summarized as follows:

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011 a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The Company did not make changes in any critical accounting policies during YTD 2011. Any changes in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is made.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which requires additional disclosures about an employer’s participating in multi-employer pension plans. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance relative to the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to
43

 
perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In YTD 2011, the Company’s bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 81% of the Company’s total net sales. Bottle/can pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. The increase in the Company’s bottle/can net price per unit in both Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 and YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010 was primarily due to increases in sales price per unit in sparkling beverages and a change in product mix due to a higher percentage of still beverage sales. Still beverages have a higher sales price per unit than sparkling beverages.
Both the increase in sales price per unit of sparkling beverages and the volume decrease in sparkling beverages in YTD 2011 were primarily the result of a promotion during the second quarter of 2010 by the Company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., at its supercenter stores. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.’s supercenter stores had a promotion on 24-pack 12-ounce cans during all of the second quarter of 2010 which increased overall 12-ounce sparkling can sales volume and overall bottle/can volume while lowering sparkling sales price per unit as 24-pack 12-ounce cans have a lower sales price per unit than other sparkling beverages. The promotion ended on July 4, 2010.
Product category sales volume in Q3 2011 and Q3 2010 and YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:

The Company’s products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During YTD 2011, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. During YTD 2010, approximately 69% of the Company’s bottle/can volume was sold for future consumption, while the remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 31% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 21% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2011. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 25% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2010. The Company’s second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 9% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2011. Food Lion, LLC accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2010. All of the Company’s beverage sales are to customers in the United States.
The Company recorded delivery fees in net sales of $5.4 million and $5.7 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively. These fees are used to offset a portion of the Company’s delivery and handling costs.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the following: raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers.
Cost of sales increased 9.4%, or $20.9 million, to $243.1 million in Q3 2011 compared to $222.2 million in Q3 2010. Cost of sales increased 5.7%, or $38.5 million, to $710.9 million in YTD 2011 compared to $672.4 million in YTD 2010.
The increase in cost of sales for Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 was principally attributable to the following:

The following inputs represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total cost of goods sold: (1) sweeteners, (2) packaging materials, including plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and (3) full goods purchased from other vendors. The Company anticipates that the cost of the underlying commodities related to these inputs will
46

 
continue to face upward cost pressure. The Company expects gross margins to be lower throughout the remainder of 2011 compared to 2010 due to the impact of the rising commodity costs if these costs cannot be offset with price increases.
The Company’s production facility located in Nashville, Tennessee was damaged by a flood in May 2010. The Company recorded a gain of $.9 million in YTD 2010 from the replacement of production equipment damaged by the flood. The gain was based on replacement value insurance coverage that exceeded the net book value of the damaged production equipment.
The Company entered into an agreement (the “Incidence Pricing Agreement”) in 2008 with The Coca-Cola Company to test an incidence-based concentrate pricing model for 2008 for all Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and Allied Beverages for which the Company purchases concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company. During the term of the Incidence Pricing Agreement, the pricing of the concentrates for the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and Allied Beverages is governed by the Incidence Pricing Agreement rather than the Cola and Allied Beverage Agreements. The concentrate price The Coca-Cola Company charges under the Incidence Pricing Agreement is impacted by a number of factors including the Company’s pricing of finished products, the channels in which the finished products are sold and package mix. The Coca-Cola Company must give the Company at least 90 days written notice before changing the price the Company pays for the concentrate. The Company has since continued to utilize the incidence pricing model, and the Incidence Pricing Agreement has been extended through December 31, 2011 on the same terms that were in effect for 2010 and 2009.
The Company relies extensively on advertising and sales promotion in the marketing of its products. The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies that supply concentrates, syrups and finished products to the Company make substantial marketing and advertising expenditures to promote sales in the local territories served by the Company. The Company also benefits from national advertising programs conducted by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies. Certain of the marketing expenditures by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies are made pursuant to annual arrangements. Although The Coca-Cola Company has advised the Company that it intends to continue to provide marketing funding support, it is not obligated to do so under the Company’s Beverage Agreements. Significant decreases in marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company or other beverage companies could adversely impact operating results of the Company in the future.
Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, which includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $15.9 million for Q3 2011 compared to $13.8 million for Q3 2010. Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, which includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $44.0 million for YTD 2011 compared to $40.3 million for YTD 2010.
Gross Margin
Gross margin dollars decreased 6.0%, or $10.4 million, to $162.7 million in Q3 2011 compared to $173.1 million in Q3 2010. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.1% for Q3 2011 from 43.8% for Q3 2010. Gross margin dollars decreased 2.1%, or $10.4 million, to $477.4 million in YTD 2011 compared to $487.8 in YTD 2010. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.2% for YTD 2011 from 42.0% for YTD 2010.

The decrease in gross margin percentages was primarily due to higher costs of raw materials and partially offset by higher sales price per unit for bottle/can volume. Higher cost related to the Company’s aluminum hedging program also reduced Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 gross margin percentage.
48

 
The Company’s gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include all costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. The Company includes a portion of these costs in S,D&A expenses.
S,D&A Expenses
S,D&A expenses include the following: sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs, depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of intangibles and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal control services, human resources and executive management costs.
S,D&A expenses decreased by $1.7 million, or 1.2%, to $137.8 million in Q3 2011 from $139.5 million in Q3 2010. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 35.3% in Q3 2010 to 33.9% in Q3 2011. S,D&A expenses decreased by $1.8 million to $404.9 million in YTD 2011 from $406.7 million in YTD 2010. S,D&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 35.1% in YTD 2010 to 34.1% in YTD 2011.
The decrease in S,D&A expenses for Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 was primarily due to the following:

Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in S,D&A expenses and totaled $144.5 million and $140.3 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.
The net impact of the Company’s fuel hedging program was to increase fuel costs by $.3 million and $1.5 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.
The Company’s expense recorded in S,D&A expenses related to the two Company-sponsored pension plans decreased by $.7 million from $1.3 million in Q3 2010 to $.6 million in Q3 2011 and by $2.1 million from $3.9 million in YTD 2010 to $1.8 million in YTD 2011.
The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of the Company’s full-time employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements. The Company matched the first 3% of its employees’ contributions for 2010 and 2011. The Company maintains the option to increase the matching contributions an additional 2%, for a total of 5%, for the Company’s employees based on the financial results. Based on the Company’s financial results, the Company decided to increase the matching contribution for the additional 2% for the entire year of 2010. The Company made these additional payments for each quarter in 2010 in the following quarter concluding with the fourth quarter 2010 payment being made in the first quarter of 2011. The 2% matching contributions have been accrued during YTD 2011. The total cost, including the estimate for the additional 2% matching contributions, for this benefit in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was $5.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) was signed into law. On March 30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (“Reconciliation Act”), was also signed into law. The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act, when taken together, represent comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that will likely affect the cost associated with providing employer-sponsored medical plans. The Company is in the process of determining the impact this legislation will have on the Company’s employer-sponsored medical plans.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased 2.8% and 1.7% in Q3 2011 compared to Q3 2010 and YTD 2011 compared to YTD 2010, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the Company entering into two new capital leases in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations increased to 6.0% during YTD 2011 from 5.9% during YTD 2010. This increase is the result of the conversion of one of the Company’s capital leases from a floating rate to a fixed rate in late 2010, combined with the Company’s use of short-term borrowings in the first nine months of 2010 at low variable rates relative to the fixed rates on the Company’s Senior Debt. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Hedging Activities — Interest Rate Hedging” section of M,D&A for additional information.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, for YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was 35.5% and 34.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by the difference of income before income taxes minus net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, for YTD 2011 and YTD 2010 was 37.7% and 37.0%, respectively.
In Q3 2010, the Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense. The reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions was due mainly to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. In Q3 2011, the Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by $.9 million. The net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense. The reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions was due mainly to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. The Company’s effective tax rate for the remainder of 2011 is dependent upon the results of operations and may change if the results in 2011 are different from current expectations.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $2.7 million in YTD 2011 compared to $3.5 million in YTD 2010 primarily related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased to $1.36 billion at October 2, 2011, from $1.31 billion at January 2, 2011 primarily due to increases in leased property under capital leases, net, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and inventories. The increase in leased property under capital leases, net was primarily due to the Company entering into leases for two sales distribution centers in the first quarter of 2011.
Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $21.9 million to $109.9 million at October 2, 2011 from January 2, 2011 and increased by $9.5 million at October 2, 2011 from October 3, 2010.
Significant changes in net working capital from January 2, 2011 were as follows:
•	 	An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $12.4 million primarily due to normal seasonal increase in sales.	

•	 	An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $22.7 million due to cash flows from operations.	

•	 	An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $5.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing of payments.	
51

 
•	 	An increase in inventories of $9.5 million primarily due to normal seasonal increase in sales.	

•	 	A decrease in accrued compensation of $7.1 million primarily due to the payment of bonuses in March 2011 and a lower bonus accrual in 2011.	

•	 	An increase in other accrued liabilities of $12.1 million primarily due to the timing of payments and an increase in income tax payable.	

•	 	A decrease in accounts payable, trade of $7.4 million due to timing of payments.	

•	 	An increase in accrued interest payable of $7.2 million due to timing of interest payments on long-term debt.	
Significant changes in net working capital from October 3, 2010 were as follows:
•	 	An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $38.1 million primarily due to funds from operations and the timing of payments.	

•	 	A decrease in accounts receivable, other of $12.7 million primarily due to the receivable recorded for insured losses from the Nashville flood damage in 2010.	

•	 	A decrease in accounts receivable from and a decrease in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $2.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing of payments.	

•	 	An increase in other accrued liabilities of $16.5 million due to timing of payments and an increase in income tax payable.	

•	 	An increase in inventories of $11.7 million primarily due to increased inventory levels for finished goods.	

•	 	A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $11.0 million primarily due to hedging activities.	
Debt and capital lease obligations were $598.2 million as of October 2, 2011 compared to $582.3 million as of January 2, 2011 and $583.3 million as of October 3, 2010 with the increase primarily due to the two new capital leases entered into during the first quarter of 2011. Debt and capital lease obligations as of October 2, 2011 included $75.0 million of capital lease obligations related primarily to Company facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Company’s sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management believes the Company has sufficient resources available to finance its business plan, meet its working capital requirements and maintain an appropriate level of capital spending. The amount and frequency of future dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of the earnings and financial condition of the Company at such time, and no assurance can be given that dividends will be declared in the future.
As of October 2, 2011, the Company had all $200 million available under a new $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (“$200 million facility”) to meet its cash requirements. On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into the new $200 million facility. This replaced the existing $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, dated March 8, 2007 scheduled to mature in March 2012. The new $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016. Borrowings under the agreement will bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio and funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 or lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. The Company currently
52

 
believes that all of the banks participating in the Company’s new $200 million facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the Company.
The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from public markets. As of October 2, 2011, $523.2 million of the Company’s total outstanding balance of debt and capital lease obligations of $598.2 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $75.0 million as of October 2, 2011. There were no amounts outstanding on either the new $200 million facility or on the Company’s uncommitted line of credit as of October 2, 2011.
Cash Sources and Uses
The primary sources of cash for the Company have been cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, the payment of debt and capital lease obligations, dividend payments, income tax payments and pension payments.

Investing Activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment recorded on the consolidated balance sheet during YTD 2011 were $34.0 million of which $3.0 million were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid. This compared to $31.7 million in total additions to property, plant and equipment recorded on the consolidated balance sheet during YTD 2010 of which $1.2 million were accrued in accounts payable, trade as unpaid including $.2 million related to the Nashville flood damage and $1.5 million which was a trade-in-allowance on manufacturing equipment. Capital expenditures during YTD 2011 were funded with cash flows from operations. The Company anticipates total additions to property, plant and equipment in fiscal year 2011 will be in the range of $60 million to $70 million.

Leasing is used for certain capital additions when considered cost effective relative to other sources of capital. The Company currently leases its corporate headquarters, two production facilities and several sales distribution facilities and administrative facilities.
Financing Activities
On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into a new $200 million facility. This replaced the existing $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, dated March 8, 2007 scheduled to mature in March 2012. The new $200 million facility has a scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2016. Borrowings under the agreement will bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. The Company must pay an annual facility fee of .175% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to operating cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1.0 or lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on either $200 million facility.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 60 days or 90 days at the discretion of the participating bank. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit on October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into leases for two sales distribution centers. Each lease has a term of 15 years with various monthly rental payments. The capital lease obligation incurred for the two leases was $18.6 million.
All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt. The Company or its subsidiaries have entered into six capital leases.
At October 2, 2011, the Company’s credit ratings were as follows:
 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	Long-Term Debt	
Standard & Poor’s	 	BBB	
Moody’s	 	Baa2	
The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes in the Company’s operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs for the Company or reduced access to capital markets. There were no changes in these credit ratings from the prior year and the credit ratings are currently stable.
The Company’s public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives and has guaranteed $35.2 million of debt and related lease obligations for these entities as of October 2, 2011. In addition, the Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill their commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of their products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees. As of October 2, 2011, the Company’s maximum exposure, if the entities borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $75.2 million including the Company’s equity interests. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about these entities.

The Company has $4.4 million of uncertain tax positions including accrued interest as of October 2, 2011 (excluded from other long-term liabilities in the table above because the Company is uncertain as to if or when such amounts will be recognized) of which $2.1 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the
55

 
Company does not expect any change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The Company is a member of Southeastern Container (“Southeastern”), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative, from which the Company is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. This obligation is not included in the Company’s table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase requirements. See Note 14 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to Southeastern.
As of October 2, 2011, the Company has $20.8 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax matters.
The Company has made contributions to the Company-sponsored pension plans of $7.8 million in YTD 2011. Based on information currently available, the Company anticipates cash contributions during the remainder of 2011 will be approximately $1.6 million. Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be approximately $3 million in 2011. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to pension and postretirement obligations.
Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Hedging
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to mitigate risk from interest rate fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Company’s debt level and the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are performed to review the impact on the Company’s financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.
The Company has not had any interest rate swap agreements outstanding since September 2008.
Interest expense was reduced due to the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $.9 million during both YTD 2011 and YTD 2010.
The weighted average interest rate of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations was 5.8% as of October 2, 2011, January 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010. None of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $598.2 million as of October 2, 2011 was maintained on a floating rate basis or was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Fuel Hedging
The Company used derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the projected diesel fuel purchases for 2010. The Company is using derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the Company’s delivery fleet and other vehicles. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its fuel hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.
56

 
The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.
In February 2009, the Company entered into derivative contracts to hedge substantially all of its projected diesel purchases for 2010 establishing an upper limit on the Company’s price of diesel fuel.
In February 2011, the Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge all of the Company’s projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011 establishing an upper limit on the Company’s price of diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline.
The net impact of the Company’s fuel hedging program was to increase fuel costs by $.3 million and $1.5 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.
Aluminum Hedging
During 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the projected 2010 and 2011 aluminum purchase requirements. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instruments. The Company accounts for its aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment to cost of sales.
The net impact of the Company’s aluminum hedging program was to increase cost of sales by $1.6 million and $2.6 million in YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading purposes. A discussion of the Company’s primary market risk exposure and interest rate risk is presented below.
Debt and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its fixed and floating rate debt. The Company may periodically use interest rate hedging products to modify risk from interest rate fluctuations. The counterparties on any interest rate hedging arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company also had other financial relationships. The Company did not have any interest rate hedging products as of October 2, 2011. None of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $598.2 million as of October 2, 2011 was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk
The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain other commodities included as part of its raw materials. The Company manages this commodity price risk in some cases by entering into contracts with adjustable prices. The Company has not historically used derivative commodity instruments in the management of this risk. The Company estimates that a 10% increase in the market prices of these commodities over the current market prices would cumulatively increase costs during the next 12 months by approximately $26 million assuming no change in volume.
The Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge essentially all of the diesel fuel purchases for 2010. The Company entered into derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of the projected diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline purchases for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used by the Company’s delivery fleet and other vehicles. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company currently accounts for its fuel hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.
During 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the projected 2010 and 2011 aluminum purchase requirements. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instruments. The Company accounts for its aluminum hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment to cost of sales.

Effects of Changing Prices
The principal effect of inflation on the Company’s operating results is to increase costs. The Company may raise selling prices to offset these cost increases; however, the resulting impact on retail prices may reduce the volume of product purchased by consumers.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 2, 2011.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
61

Each Borrowing and each Conversion or Continuation thereof (i) shall be in an aggregate amount not less than
15

 
$1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall consist of Advances of the same Type (and, if such Advances are Eurodollar Rate Advances, having the same Interest Period) made, Continued or Converted on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, except in each case as otherwise provided in Sections 2.09(e) and (f), as applicable. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).
          (b) The Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit denominated in Dollars (each, a “ Letter of Credit ”) for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until thirty (30) days before the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) the Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) with respect to each such Letter of Credit not to exceed an amount equal to the Unused Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than five (5) Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date. Within the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b).
          SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances.
          (a) (i) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances) or given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances), by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof.
          (ii) Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of  Exhibit A  hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance.
          (iii) Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.
          (iv) Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.
          (b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of profit) reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to make such Borrowing (including, without limitation, as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3) and the liquidation
16

 
or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing. A certificate as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (but without duplication) such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement (and such Advance shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the date on which such amount is so repaid to the Administrative Agent).
          (d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve the other Lenders of their obligations hereunder to make an Advance on the date of such Borrowing, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
          SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.
          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
          (b) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent, prompt notice thereof.

If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the
17

 
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance.
          (c) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, subject to Section 2.19(a)(iv), the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(d), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 8.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
          (d) Drawing and Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date the Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;  provided  that if the Borrower fails to so reimburse such LC Disbursement by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance (subject to (i) the terms and conditions of Section 2.01(a) other than the required minimum and multiple amounts set forth therein and (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02) in an equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Advance. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due (or if the deemed Base Rate Advance described in the immediately foregoing proviso cannot be made for any reason), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply,  mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base
18

 
Rate Advances as contemplated above) shall not constitute an Advance and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
          (e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(d) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;  provided  that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;  provided  that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
          (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC
19

 
Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Advances;  provided  that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, then Section 2.07(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
          (i) Replacement of Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
          SECTION 2.04. Certain Fees.
          (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “ Facility Fee ”) on the average daily amount (whether used or unused) of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment from the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender) and from the date of the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each such Lender), in each case until the Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate.

A certificate as to such amounts, prepared in good faith and submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          SECTION 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or otherwise maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist
24

 
and (ii) each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender shall convert into a Base Rate Advance at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance.
          SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations.
          (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder without set-off or counterclaim not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02 in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, Letter of Credit fees or Facility Fee ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.06(d), from and after the Closing Date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such Closing Date directly between themselves.
          (b) All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of Letter of Credit fees and the Facility Fee shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          (c) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of such due date shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Letter of Credit fees and Facility Fee, as the case may be;  provided ,  however , that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to fall due in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
          SECTION 2.15. Taxes.
          (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties,
25

 
levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “ Taxes ”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “ Other Taxes ”).
          (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and Other Taxes, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding (as between the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent) for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other proof of payment of such Taxes reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Lender(s). If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at such address, a statement to such effect with respect to each jurisdiction designated by the Administrative Agent.
          (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Lender) and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest (or that such Lender is eligible for the portfolio interest exemption) or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a
26

 
United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.15(a).
          (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided ,  however , that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender may reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
          (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office(s) if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
          (h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and any and all liabilities with respect to the foregoing (but, in the case of any Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.15(h) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
          (i) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
          SECTION 2.16. Set-Off; Sharing of Payments, Etc.
          (a) Without limiting any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the Lenders hereunder, if the Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any amount payable by it hereunder or under any Note each Lender may, without prior notice to the Borrower (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time
27

 
or demand, provisional or final, in any currency, matured or unmatured) and other obligations and liabilities at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or account of the Borrower. Each Lender shall promptly provide notice of such set-off to the Borrower,  provided  that failure by such Lender to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
          (b) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them or make such other adjustments as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;  provided ,  however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
          SECTION 2.17. Right to Replace a Lender. If the Borrower is required to make any additional payment pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.13 (in each case, such Lender being an “ Affected Person ”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Person as a party to this Agreement;  provided  that, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and  provided further  that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another financial institution which is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances of the Affected Person pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations (including all outstanding Advances) of the Affected Person to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 8.06 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person in same day funds on the day of such replacement all accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts then owing to such Affected Person by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due such Affected Person under Section 2.12 and 2.15.
          SECTION 2.18. Evidence of Indebtedness.
          (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
          (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
28

 
the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
          (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.18 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;  provided  that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (d) Any Lender may request that its Advances be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower will promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “ Note ”) payable to the order of such Lender, in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, in a principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and otherwise duly completed.
          SECTION 2.19. Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments.
          (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date to request that the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder be increased (a “ Commitment Increase ”) in accordance with the following provisions and subject to the following conditions:
          (i) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders, at least twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “ Notice of Increase ”) of any such requested increase specifying the aggregate amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitments are to be increased (the “ Requested Increase Amount ”), which shall be at least $10,000,000, the requested date of increase (the “ Requested Increase Date ”) and the date by which the Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (the “ Commitment Date ”). Each Lender that is willing in its sole discretion to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “ Increasing Lender ”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
          (ii) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase.

Any such Eligible Assignee that agrees to acquire a Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant hereto is herein called an “ Additional Lender ”.
          (iii) Effective on the Requested Increase Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (x) Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the increases contemplated hereby, (y) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by an amount determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (but in no event greater than the amount the amount by which such Lender is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment), and (z) each Additional Lender shall enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which it shall undertake, as of such Requested Increase Date, a new Revolving Credit Commitment in
29

 
an amount determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (but in no event greater than the amount the amount by which such Lender is willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase), and such Additional Lender shall thereupon be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Each Additional Lender may request a Note in accordance with Section 2.18(d).

On and after each Increase Date, the Ratable Share of each Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Advances from draws under Letters of Credit shall be calculated after giving effect to each such Commitment Increase.

          SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
          (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a);
30

 
          (b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01);  provided , that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
          (c) if any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
          (i) all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;
          (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
          (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;
          (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares; and
          (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
          (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
31

 
          If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
          In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Advances in accordance with its Ratable Share.

          SECTION 8.04. Costs, Expenses and Indemnification.
          (a) The Borrower agrees to pay and reimburse on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, (ii) (iii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a). Such reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses shall be reimbursed by the Borrower upon presentation to the Borrower of a statement of account, regardless of whether this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.
          (b) (i) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all direct claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, and whether or not any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 are satisfied or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, except to the extent such direct claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
          (ii) The Borrower hereby further agrees that (i) no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to the Borrower for or in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) the Borrower will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actual or proposed use of any Advance.
          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion or Continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance of a Lender is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance
50

 
as a result of any optional or mandatory prepayment, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses (other than loss of profit) which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, Continuation or Conversion and the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. A certificate as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          SECTION 8.05. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns,  provided  that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
          SECTION 8.06. Assignments and Participations.
          (a) Each Lender may, with notice to and the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower ( provided  that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof) (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its unused Letter of Credit Commitment, the Advances owing to it and its participations in Letters of Credit);  provided  that:
          (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement,
          (ii) except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or to another Lender, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree) be less than the lesser of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder and (y) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
          (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,
          (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, and
          (v) the parties to each such assignment (other than the Borrower) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this
51

 
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
          (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
          (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to the relevant assignment) and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B  hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each such Lender from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
          (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Advances owing to it);  provided ,  however , that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) in any proceeding under
52

 
the Federal Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower, such Lender shall remain and be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole representative with respect to the rights and obligations held in the name of such Lender (whether such rights or obligations are for such Lender’s own account or for the account of any participant), (v) no participant under any such participation agreement shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or to consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that any such amendment, waiver or consent would (x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes, in each case to the extent the same are subject to such participation, or (y) postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances, in each case to the extent the same are subject to such participation and (vi) each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.12 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment,  provided  that no participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such participant complies with Section 2.15(e) as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”);  provided  that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
          (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any permitted assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.06 and subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.
          (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, assign to an Affiliate of such Lender all or any portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement.
          SECTION 8.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York City for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “ Process Agent ”), with an office on the date hereof at 111 8 th  Avenue, 13 th  Floor, New York, New York 10011, as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept on behalf of the Borrower and its Property service of the copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such legal proceedings brought in any such court, and the Borrower agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to the Borrower shall not impair or affect the
53

 
validity of such service or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the enforcement of any judgment based thereon. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
          SECTION 8.08. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
          SECTION 8.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any counterpart hereof may be executed and delivered via telecopier or other electronic transmission, and each such counterpart so executed and delivered shall have the same force and effect as an originally executed and delivered counterpart hereof.
          SECTION 8.10. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.02(b), 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 7.05, shall survive the repayment of the Advances and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by any Notice of Borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Advance, any Default or Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading.
          SECTION 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
          SECTION 8.12. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement in confidence and for use in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation for use in connection with its rights and remedies hereunder, except for disclosure (a) to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory officials, (d) as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party and (f) to a proposed assignee or participant permitted under Section 8.06 which shall have agreed in writing to keep such disclosed confidential information confidential in accordance with this Section.
          SECTION 8.13. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower.
          SECTION 8.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “ Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
54

 
          SECTION 8.15. Termination of Commitments under Existing Credit Agreement. Each of the signatories hereto that is also a party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby agrees that, as of the Closing Date, all of the Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement to which such signatory is a party will be terminated automatically and any and all required notice periods in connection with such termination are hereby waived and of no further force and effect.

Litigation
          1. Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr. Pepper Bottling Company, et al. vs. The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., Civil Action File No. 06-3056-CV-S . On February 14, 2006, forty-eight Coca-Cola bottler plaintiffs filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri against The Coca-Cola Company (“KO”) and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (“CCE”). On February 24, 2006, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding twelve bottlers as plaintiffs. In the lawsuit, the bottler plaintiffs made claims for breach of contract and breach of duty and other related claims arising out of CCE’s plan to offer warehouse delivery of POWERAde to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) within CCE’s territory. The bottler plaintiffs sought preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the warehouse delivery of POWERAde and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
          On March 17, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, pursuant to a motion brought by KO and CCE, transferred the case to the Northern District of Georgia. On September 5, 2006, the Georgia federal District Court granted the Borrower’s motion to intervene as a defendant for limited purpose. The court found that the Borrower had a legally protectable interest at stake in the litigation in that the relief requested from the plaintiffs would preclude the Borrower from warehouse delivering POWERAde within its exclusive territory.
          On February 12, 2007, KO, CCE, the Borrower and many of the plaintiffs entered into a series of agreements that will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the lawsuit and the implementation of a program to test various new route-to-market service systems. The agreement preserved all parties’ rights, and afforded the bottling system an opportunity to meet to discuss whether the program to test route-to-market service systems should be continued. The settlement did not require any payment by the Borrower, The Lawsuit was concluded and all claims were dismissed, without prejudice.
          The following items are listed for informational purposes only. The Borrower, in its reasonable judgment, does not believe that any of the following items will have a Material Adverse Effect.
          1. Several environmental matters are being monitored and remediated by the Borrower to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities. None of these matters are currently in litigation and the Borrower is unable to determine at this time whether any claims may arise out these matters.
          2. The Borrower is, from time-to-time, party to, and is threatened to be made party to, employment related claims.
          3. The Borrower is, from time-to-time, party to, and is threatened to be made party to, product liability, auto liability, general liability, workers’ compensation and preference claims.

     Re: Credit Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement (the “ Credit Agreement ”) dated as of the date hereof, among the Borrower, the lenders named therein (the “ Lenders ”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “ Agent ”). This opinion letter is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
     In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following documents (items (a) and (b) below are referred to as the “ Loan Documents ”), all dated the date hereof unless otherwise indicated:
     (a) the Credit Agreement; and
     (b) the Notes.
     We have also examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials, officers of the Borrower, and other persons, and agreements, instruments and other documents, and have made such other investigation, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon, and assumed without independent investigation the accuracy of, the representations made by the parties to the Loan Documents (other than those which are expressed as our opinions).
     In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. For the purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have further assumed (i) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing any Loan Document; (ii) other than fee letters, that there is no oral or written statement or agreement, course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade that modifies, amends or varies any of the terms of any Loan Document; (iii) that as to factual matters any certificate, representation or other 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; (iv) that there has been no mutual mistake of fact, or misrepresentation, fraud or deceit in connection with the execution, delivery, performance under, or transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents; (v) due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties thereto other than the Borrower, and that each such Loan Document is valid, binding and enforceable against all parties thereto other than the Borrower; (vi) that each of the parties to the Loan Documents other than the Borrower has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan

Documents to which it is party, and to perform its obligations thereunder; (vii) that the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not violate any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation of the State of North Carolina, the Delaware General Corporation Law or federal law or regulation), order, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority; and (viii) that if any party to any Loan Document other than the Borrower seeks to enforce its rights thereunder, such enforcement shall occur only under circumstances which are consistent with applicable law and provisions of the relevant Loan Document.
     The opinions set forth herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of North Carolina, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States, and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion concerning any matter respecting or affected by any laws other than laws that a lawyer admitted to practice law in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion concerning the following legal issues or the application of any such laws or regulations to the matters on which our opinions are referenced:
     (i) other than as expressly set forth in paragraph 8 below, federal and state securities laws and regulations;
     (ii) Federal Reserve Board margin regulations;
     (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations;
     (iv) federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, including without limitation the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976;
     (v) federal and state laws and regulations concerning document filing requirements and notice;
     (vi) compliance with fiduciary duty requirements;
     (vii) the statutes, administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of county, municipal and special political subdivisions, whether state-level, regional or otherwise;
     (viii) fraudulent transfer laws;
     (ix) federal and state environmental laws and regulations;
     (x) federal and state tax laws and regulations;
     (xi) federal and state land use and subdivision laws and regulations;
     (xii) federal patent, copyright and trademark, state trademark, and other federal and state intellectual property laws and regulations;

     (xiii) federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning national and local emergency;
     (xiv) state and federal regulatory laws or regulations specifically applicable to any entity solely because of the business in which it is engaged;
     (xv) federal and state laws and regulations concerning the condition of title to any property, the priority of any security interest or lien, or the perfection of a lien or security interest in personal property; or
     (xvi) laws, rules and regulations relating to money laundering and terrorist groups, including without limitation the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “ USA Patriot Act ”), Public Law 107-56, 115 Stat. 380 (October 26, 2001), as amended, Executive Order 13224, the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 App. U.S.C. 1,  et .  seq ., any similar or related law and the rules and regulations (temporary or permanent) promulgated under the foregoing or by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of Treasury, as each is amended from time to time.
     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
     1. Based solely upon a good standing certificate issued by the Delaware Secretary of State, the Borrower is a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
     2. The Borrower has adequate corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
     3. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance by it of its agreements under such documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents.
     4. The Loan Documents provide that they shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, New York law. If, notwithstanding such choice of law provision, a North Carolina court were to hold that any such Loan Document is governed by, and to be construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, such Loan Document would be, under the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, the valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.
     5. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the performance by the Borrower of its agreements under such documents, do not (a) violate the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (b) violate any (i) North Carolina statute, rule or regulation, (ii) the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) any federal law or regulation, in each case that a lawyer admitted to practice law in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents or (c) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under the

agreements set forth on Schedule II hereto or cause the creation of any security interest or lien upon any of the property of the Borrower pursuant to any such agreements (except that we express no opinion with respect to matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination).
     6. The Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, or make any filing (a) with, any United States federal or State of North Carolina governmental or regulatory agency or (b) under the Delaware General Corporation Law, to authorize its execution and delivery of, or to make valid and binding, the Loan Documents, except for those (i) obtained or made prior to the date hereof and (ii) specified in the Loan Documents.
     7. We do not represent the Borrower in any action, suit or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, pending or overtly threatened in writing against the Borrower, which seeks to affect the enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
     8. Based on the factual certifications in an officer’s certificate delivered to our firm in connection with this letter, the Borrower is not required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The opinion set forth in paragraph 4 is subject to the following qualifications:
     (a) enforceability may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;
     (b) enforcement of the Loan Documents is subject both to general principles of equity and to considerations of public policy, including the requirement that the parties thereto act with commercial reasonableness and in good faith to the extent required by applicable law, the application of which may deny certain rights and may be applied by a court of proper jurisdiction, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “general principles of equity” and “considerations of public policy” may include, but are not limited to, issues related to the right to or obligation of the appointment of a receiver in certain circumstances; the ability of an entity to appoint an attorney-in-fact; fiduciary obligations of attorneys-in-fact; the enforceability of usury savings clauses; the enforceability of confessions of judgment; waiver of procedural, substantive, or constitutional rights, including, without limitation, the right of statutory or equitable redemption; disclaimers or limitations of liability; waiver of defenses; waiver of acceleration rights through historical acceptance of late payments; the exercise of self-help or other remedies without judicial process; accounting for rent or sale proceeds; requirements of mitigation of damages; and enforcement of default interest provisions. Any provision waiving a right to jury trial is unenforceable as against public policy pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 22B-10;
     (c) the enforceability and availability of certain remedies, rights and waiver provisions may be limited or rendered ineffective by applicable law, although the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity or lien of any Loan Document as a whole, and subject to the other

exceptions noted herein, there exist legally adequate remedies for the realization of the principal benefits afforded thereby;
     (d) we call to your attention that N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.2 sets forth the procedures and limitations applicable to the collection of attorneys’ fees and accordingly, any provision in the Loan Documents relating to the ability to collect attorneys’ fees upon default are subject to those limitations;
     (e) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents denying the holder of any lien inferior to the liens created by the Loan Documents the ability to require the Agent to marshal assets;
     (f) we express no opinion as to the right to obtain a receiver, which determination is subject to equitable principles;
     (g) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents providing that the acceptance by the Agent of a past due installment or other performance by a party shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to accelerate the loan or other payment obligation. A North Carolina Court of Appeals has held that when the holder of a promissory note regularly accepted late payments, such holder is deemed to have waived its right to accelerate the debt because of late payments until it notifies the maker that prompt payments are again required.  Driftwood Manor Investors v. City Federal Savings & Loan Association , 63 N.C. App. 459, 305 S.E. 2d 204 (1983);
     (h) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents which requires that any amendments or waivers to the Loan Documents must be in writing;
     (i) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents which directs the application of sale proceeds other than as required by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-615;
     (j) we express no opinion with respect to any consent to venue, jurisdiction or service of process provisions;
     (k) we express no opinion with respect to any choice of law provision;
     (1) we express no opinion with respect to any severability provision;
     (m) we express no opinion with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents purporting to require a party to pay or reimburse attorneys’ fees incurred by another party or to indemnify another party therefor which may be limited by applicable law and public policy;
     (n) we express no opinion with respect to any waiver of the statute of limitations contained in the Loan Documents;
     (o) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to excuse a party for liability for its own acts;

     (p) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to make void any act done in contravention thereof;
     (q) we express no opinion with respect to any provision purporting to prohibit, restrict, or condition the assignment of rights to the extent such restriction on assignability is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code;
     (r) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents that purports to authorize a party to act in its sole discretion, that imposes liquidated damages, penalties, late payment charges or an increase in interest rate after default (in the event such late payment charges or increase in interest rate is deemed to be a penalty or is otherwise contrary to public policy) or that relates to evidentiary standards or other standards by which any of the Loan Documents is to be construed; and
     (s) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to such party’s own negligence or willful misconduct or where such indemnification or contribution is otherwise contrary to public policy.
     Our opinion is rendered solely in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents and may not be relied upon for any other purpose or in any manner by any person or entity other than the addressees hereof, except that we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future assignee (collectively, the “ Reliance Parties ”) of your rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to an assignment that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 8.06(a) of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to any person other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance by a Reliance Party must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the Reliance Party at such time.
     No copies of this opinion may be delivered or furnished to any other party other than a Reliance Party, nor may all or portions of this opinion be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document without our prior written consent, except that copies of this opinion may be provided to any regulatory agency having supervisory authority over a Reliance Party and except that this opinion may be used in connection with the assertion of a defense as to which this opinion is relevant and necessary or in response to a court order or other legal process. The opinions expressed in this letter are rendered as of the date hereof and we express no opinion as to circumstances or events or change in applicable law that may occur subsequent to such date.
Very truly yours,
