PARTICIPATION
3.1. Initial Participation. An Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan on the later of the date on which he (a) becomes an Eligible Employee or (b) becomes a participant in the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Employee whose most recent hire date with the Company or any Affiliate is after October 1, 2010 shall become a Participant in the Plan.

If such a Participant Separates from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates before the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, any benefit calculations under the Plan shall include Compensation and Benefit Service through the date of such Separation from Service.
A Participant who Separates from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates after the period described in the first sentence of this Section and who has become a participant in the Supplemental Pension Plan shall have the benefit calculated under Article IV as of the date he is no longer a Participant transferred to the Supplemental Pension Plan. Such transferred benefit shall constitute a minimum benefit as provided in Section 4.3 of the Supplemental Pension Plan.

ARTICLE IV
BENEFITS
4.1. Calculation of Benefit. A Participants benefit under this Plan shall be calculated in the manner described in this Section 4.1 and paid at the time and in the form provided in Section 4.2.
(a) Normal or Late Retirement. A Participant who Separates from Service on or after attainment of his Normal Retirement Age shall be entitled to a benefit calculated based on a life annuity in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) over (2) below:
(1) A retirement benefit equal to 1.15% percent of the Participants Final Average Earnings plus 0.25% of the Participants Final Average Earnings in excess of the Social Security Taxable Wage Base in effect in the year the Participant Separates from Service, multiplied by the Participants Benefit Service.
(2) The sum of (A) and (B) below:
(A) The Participants Final Average Earnings Base Benefit.
(B) The Participants Cash Balance Base Benefit.
If a Participant was previously an Employee and accrued a vested benefit under this Plan during that prior period of employment, then an amount shall be added to clause (2) above that is equal to such prior period vested Plan benefit determined in the form of a single life annuity payable at Normal Retirement Age.
Solely for purposes of this Article IV, Benefit Service shall also include, in calculating the amount under clause (1) and the Final Average Earnings Base Benefit under clause (2)(A), the number of months of Benefit Service, if any, expressly provided for under a severance agreement with the Employer or a severance plan of the Employer, or, if no additional Benefit Service is expressly provided for under such severance agreement or plan, the number of full months of the Participants compensation that was used to determine the amount paid to the Participant under such severance agreement or plan. The crediting of such additional Benefit Service is contingent on the Participant signing any release or other agreement required by the Employer before the date specified by the Employer.
If a Participant becomes vested in his benefit under this Plan pursuant to the provision regarding transfers to a Related Company under Article V, the benefit calculated under clauses (2)(A) and 2(B) above shall be determined assuming that the Participant is also vested in his or her Final Average Earnings Base Benefit and Cash Balance Account Base Benefit; however, amounts paid to the Participant by the Related Company shall not be included in Compensation.
(b) Early and Deferred Vested Retirement. A Participant who Separates from Service after he is vested pursuant to Article V and before he attains Normal Retirement Age shall be entitled to a benefit calculated based on a life annuity equal to the excess, if any, of (1) over (2):
(1) The amount determined under Section 4.1(a)(1), reduced by 1.5% for each year, up to five years, by which the Participants Separation from Service precedes Normal Retirement Age and by 5% for each year, up to five years, by which the Participants Separation from Service precedes age 60. The foregoing reductions shall be applied on a monthly basis.
(2) The sum of (A) and (B) below:
(A) The Participants Final Average Earnings Base Benefit reduced for commencement before normal retirement age under the Pension Plan to the later of age 55 or Separation from Service using the early retirement factors thereunder.
(B) The Participants Cash Balance Account Base Benefit.
(c) Death Benefit.
(1) If a Participant dies after becoming vested under Article V but before Separation from Service, the Participants Beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit calculated based on the survivor portion of a joint and 50% survivor annuity based on the amount calculated under Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b), as applicable, and converted to such form of payment applying the actuarial factors specified in the Pension Plan. If the Participants Beneficiary is not a person (e.g., the Participants estate), the death benefit shall be calculated based on the assumption that the Beneficiary is the same age as the Participant.
(2) If a Participant dies after Separation from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates but before payment is made or commences under Section 4.2, or after commencement of installment payments under Section 4.2, the Participants Beneficiary shall receive a lump-sum payment upon the Participants death equal to the lump-sum payment that was scheduled to be made to the Participant or the present value of the remaining installments that were scheduled to be made to the Participant.
(d) Limitation. The total of the benefits payable under the Plan, the Final Average Earnings Base Benefit and the Cash Balance Account Base Benefit shall not exceed the lump-sum value of three times the applicable limit under Code section 415 as in effect on the date benefit payments commence. The benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy this Section 4.1(d).
4.2. Commencement and Form of Benefit Payment. The benefit calculated under Section 4.1 shall be paid at the time and in the form specified in this Section 4.2.
(a) Commencement. Payments under this Plan shall be made or shall commence upon the first day of the month following the earlier of (i) the Participants Separation from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates or (ii) the Participants death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Participant who was not an Employee on December 31, 2008 and whose benefits under this Plan had not commenced on or before such date, payments were made or commenced between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009, provided, however, that with respect to a Participant who was offered and made an election in 2008 for payment to be made between January 1 and March 31 of the year following the year in which the Participant reaches age 55, payments shall commence at such time.
Further notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment on account of a Separation from Service that would otherwise be made to a Participant who is a specified employee within the meaning of Code section 409A, using the methodology established by the Company and The Coca-Cola Company for determining specified employees, during the six-month period following the Participants Separation from Service shall not be made during such six-month period, and shall instead be made at the end of such six-month period. Any payments that are not scheduled to be made during such six-month period shall be made at the time originally scheduled.
(b) Form upon Separation from Service. In the event of a Participants Separation from Service, the Participants benefit shall be paid in the form described in this Section 4.2(b).
(1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(b)(2), the Participants benefit shall be paid in the form of a lump sum or ten equal annual installments depending on the lump-sum value of his benefit. The lump-sum value of a Participants benefit shall be determined as of his commencement date based on the Participants benefit calculated under Section 4.1(a) or (b), as applicable, converted into an actuarially equivalent lump sum. If the lump-sum value is less than $250,000, the benefit shall be paid in
the form of a single lump-sum payment. If the lump-sum value is equal to or greater than $250,000, the benefit shall be paid in ten equal annual installments. The first such installment shall be made upon the Participants commencement date under Section 4.2(a), and each succeeding installment shall be made on July 1 of each calendar year following the year of the Participants Separation from Service (accordingly, if the six-month delay described in Section 4.2(a) applies, two payments could be made in the year following the year of the Participants Separation from Service). For purposes of Code section 409A, payments made in the form of installments shall be treated as a single payment made on the date of the first installment payment.
(2) In the case of a Participant who elected during 2008 in the manner permitted by the predecessor to the Benefits Committee to have his benefit paid in a lump sum regardless of the lump-sum value of the benefit, the benefit was paid in a lump sum, determined as described in Section 4.2(b)(1).
(c) Form upon Death. In the event of a Participants death, any benefit payable under Section 4.1(c)(1) shall be paid in the form of an actuarially equivalent lump sum, and any benefit payable under Section 4.1(c)(2) shall be paid in a lump sum as described in such Section.
(d) Benefit Calculations. The actuarially equivalent lump sum described in this Section 4.2 shall be determined on the basis of the interest rate for 10-Year Treasury notes for September of the year preceding the year of payment, and the Code section 417(e)(3) applicable mortality table. The ten equal annual installments payable under this Section 4.2 shall be determined based on the lump-sum value with a reasonable interest adjustment to account for the longer payment period as determined by the Benefits Committee. In the event that an installment or lump-sum payment is delayed for six months pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or is not paid immediately following the applicable event described in Section 4.2(a), the delayed payment shall be credited with reasonable interest, as determined by the Benefits Committee, to reflect the delay in payment. The lump-sum present value of remaining installments payable as a death benefit under Section 4.1(c)(2) will be calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions determined in the discretion of the Benefits Committee.
4.3. Minimum Benefit for Former Participants in Supplemental Pension Plan. A Participant who participated in the Supplemental Pension Plan and transferred his benefit thereunder to the Plan pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Pension Plan as a result of becoming eligible to participate in the Plan shall be entitled to a minimum benefit under this Plan equal to such Participants benefit calculated under Section 4.1 of the Supplemental Pension Plan as of the date he ceased to be an eligible employee thereunder. The transferred benefit shall be calculated based on the reduction factors provided in the Supplemental Pension Plan for purposes of determining whether it exceeds the benefit provided under the generally applicable Plan formula, and if the transferred benefit exceeds such Plan benefit, it shall be converted to a lump sum or installments, as applicable, using the interest rate and mortality table applicable under the Supplemental Pension Plan.
4.4. Benefit Accrual and Payment Following Separation from Service. After a Participant has Separated from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates, the Participant shall not accrue any additional benefits under this Plan, regardless of whether the Participant receives ongoing severance payments or transfers to a Related Company. Furthermore, the Participants rehire by the Employer or an Affiliate shall not affect the time or form of payment of the Participants benefit payable under the Plan with respect to any prior period of employment.
ARTICLE V
VESTING
A Participant shall be fully vested in his or her benefit if the Participant has at least five years of Vesting Service. If the Participant Separates from Service with the Employer and all Affiliates before reaching five years of Vesting Service, the Participant shall forfeit all benefits under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall be fully vested upon a transfer agreed to by the Employer to a Related Company if such Related Company has been identified by the Benefits Committee as eligible for this special rule.
ARTICLE VI

6.1. Plan Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Benefits Committee. All elections, designations and notices under the Plan shall be made at such times and in such manner as determined by the Benefits Committee.
The Benefits Committee shall consist of not fewer than five members, who may or may not be officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate. Each Benefits Committee member shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of The Coca-Cola Companys Vice President of Human Resources or his or her designee (VPHR).

6.3. Rights and Duties. The Benefits Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have all powers and discretion necessary to accomplish that purpose, including, but not limited to, the following:

6.4. Compensation, Indemnity, and Liability. The Benefits Committee shall serve as such without bond and without compensation for services hereunder. All expenses of the Plan and the Benefits Committee shall be paid by the Employer. No member of the Benefits Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member or any act or omission on his own part, except his own willful misconduct. The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Benefits Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of his membership on the Benefits Committee, except for expenses or liabilities arising out of his own willful misconduct.
6.5. Taxes. If all or any portion of a Participants or Beneficiarys benefit under this Plan shall become subject to any income, employment, estate, inheritance, or other tax that the Employer shall be required to pay or withhold, the Employer shall have the full power and authority to withhold and pay such tax out of any monies or other property credited to such Participant or Beneficiary at the time the benefits under this Plan are distributable.
ARTICLE VII
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
Claims for benefits and appeals of claim determinations under the Plan shall be processed in the manner set forth under the claims and appeals procedures set forth in the Pension Plan.
An interested party who disagrees with the Benefits Committees determination of his or her right to Plan benefits or other Plan matters must submit a written claim and exhaust this claim procedure before legal recourse of any type is sought. Any claim must be brought within one year after (a) in the case of any lump-sum payment, the date on which the payment was made; (b) in the case of an installment payment, the date of the first payment in the series of payments; or (c) for all other claims, the date on which the action complained of occurred.

determined by the Benefits Committee or the Company, as the case may be. The required execution of any such release shall not affect the timing of payment pursuant to Article IV.
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
8.1. Amendment. The Company or Benefits Committee shall each have the right to amend the Plan in whole or in part at any time, provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce the benefits accrued on behalf of any Participant as of the effective date of such amendment. Any amendment shall be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or a member of the Benefits Committee.
