Unless Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Paragraph shall be made in writing by Company's independent public accountants (the "Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Paragraph 13, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Paragraph 13. Company shall bear all costs that the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Paragraph 13. 14. Limitations on Other Employment. During the term hereof, Employee shall not enter into the services of or be employed in any capacity or for any purposes whatsoever, whether directly or indirectly, by any person, firm, Company or entity other than Company, and will not, during said period of time, be engaged in any business, enterprise or undertaking other than employment by Company, with the exception that Employee may serve on the board of directors of charitable organizations, and may continue his business relationships with Avenal Land and Oil Company, Dalraddy Vineyards, and Kransco Inc., to the extent doing so will not violate Paragraph 15 hereof. 15. Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition. a. Employee agrees that he will not at any time while employed by Company and for a period of two years following the expiration or termination of his employment (the "Nonsolicitation Period"), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly for himself or any other person or entity solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from The Coca-Cola Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, "KO") any other Employee of KO. Additionally, Employee agrees that during the Nonsolicitation Period any employment by Employee or any entity in which he has an interest, directly or indirectly (other than a publicly traded company in which he does not have a controlling interest) of any person who was in the employ of KO within the preceding year, shall be a violation of this paragraph. b. Employee agrees that he will not at any time while employed by Company and for a period of one year following expiration or termination of his employment (the "Noncompetition Period"), for himself or on behalf of any person, partnership, trust, company or other entity other than KO for whatever reason engage, directly or indirectly (either as an employee, officer, director, partner, shareholder, consultant or independent contractor), in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of non-alcoholic beverages in the United States. Employee further agrees that during the Noncompetition Period he will not be connected, directly or indirectly, with any person, the portion of any firm or company engaged in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of non-alcoholic beverages in the United States and that he will not directly or indirectly be employed or become a partner, officer or stockholder of the portion of any firm or company engaged in such business within the United States. c. If in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce this Agreement, whether because the time limit is too long or because the restrictions contained herein are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, scope of business or otherwise) than is necessary to protect the business and goodwill of KO, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties hereto that this Agreement is deemed modified to the extent necessary to permit this Agreement to be enforced in any such proceedings. d. If Company or its successors in interest shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief, then the Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition Periods specified herein shall be tolled from the time of application for injunctive relief until the date of final adjudication of the claim for injunctive relief. Additionally, Employee waives, to the greatest extent permissible, any requirement that Company post bond or other security as a precondition to an injunction, whether temporary or permanent. e. Employee acknowledges that compliance with this paragraph is necessary to protect the goodwill and other proprietary interests of Company and that a breach of this paragraph will give rise to irreparable and continuing injury to Company that is not adequately compensable in monetary damages or at law. Accordingly Employee agrees that Company, its successors and assigns may obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threaten breach of the foregoing provisions, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available to it under this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges that in the event of his termination or expiration of employment with Company, his knowledge, experience and capabilities are such that Employee can obtain employment in business activities which are of a different or noncompeting nature than those performed in the course of employment with Company; and that the enforcement of a remedy hereunder by way of injunction will not prevent Employee from earning a reasonable livelihood. 16. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, TRADE SECRETS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. a. During the term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter, Employee will keep in confidence and will not publish, use or disclose to others, without the prior written consent of Company, any Trade Secrets or other confidential information related to KO or KO's business. As used herein, the phrase "Trade Secret" is to be considered as used in accordance with the definition of Trade Secret found under Georgia law in effect at the time of the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting this definition, and for information purposes only, a Trade Secret is the whole or any portion of any technical or non-technical information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, drawing, process, financial data, financial plan, product plan or customer or supplier information that is actually or potentially valuable because it is not generally known to others and that is subject to reasonable efforts by KO to maintain its secrecy. b. Upon leaving the employ of Company, Employee will not take with him any written, printed or electronically stored Trade Secret, or other confidential information or any other property of KO obtained by him as the result of his employment, or any reproductions thereof. All such property and all copies thereof shall be surrendered by Employee to Company on termination of employment or at any time on request by Company. c. Employee's obligation not to use, publish or disclose confidential information of KO will cease five (5) years after termination or expiration of employment. Employee's obligation not to use, publish or disclose any Trade Secret of KO has no time limitation. d.

All necessary and proper expenses in connection with the foregoing shall be borne by Company, and if services in connection therewith are performed at Company's request after termination of employment, Company will pay reasonable compensation for such services. Any inventions and discoveries relating to KO's business made by Employee within one year after termination of employment with Company shall be deemed to be within this provision, unless Employee can prove that the same were conceived and made following said termination and such conception or invention is not based upon or related to any Trade Secret, as defined herein, received pursuant to Employee's employment with Company. e. Employee hereby assigns to Company, without charge, all his right, title and interest in and to all original works of authorship filed in any tangible form, prepared by him, solely or jointly with others, within the scope of his employment by Company. In addition, Company and Employee hereby agree that any such original work of authorship that qualifies as a "work made for hire" under the U.S. copyright laws shall be a "work made for hire" and shall be owned by Company. f. Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event he breaches, threatens in any way to breach, or it is inevitable that he will breach, any of the provisions of this Paragraph, damages shall be an inadequate remedy and Company shall be entitled, without bond, to injunctive or other equitable relief. Company's rights in this respect are in addition to all rights otherwise available at law or in equity. 17. Waiver or Modification. No waiver or modification of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, or limitation herein contained shall be valid unless in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith. Furthermore, no evidence of any modification or waiver shall be offered or received as evidence in any proceeding, arbitration or litigation between the parties arising out of or affecting this Agreement or the rights or obligations of any party hereunder, unless such waiver or modification is in writing, duly executed as aforesaid. The provisions of this paragraph may not be waived except as herein set forth. 18. Complete Agreement. This written Agreement contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties as to the matters contained herein and, effective upon the Close, supersedes any and all other agreements between them, including in particular the employment agreement dated December 21, 1999 between Company and Employee.
