$______________ _________, ______________
March 11, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING GROUP (SOUTHWEST), INC., a
Nevada corporation having its principal place of business located in Dallas,
Texas (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of
_____________________________________ (the "Lender"), in its individual
capacity, at the office of NATIONSBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent for the
Lenders (the "Agent"), located at One Independence Center, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or at such other place
or places as the Agent may designate in writing) pursuant to the Credit
Agreement dated as of March 11, 1998 among the Borrower, the financial
institutions party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders") and the Agent (the
"Agreement" -- all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Agreement), on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement, in lawful money of the United States of America, in
immediately available funds, the principal amount of ___________ DOLLARS
($__________) or, if less than such principal amount, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower
pursuant to the Agreement, and to pay interest from the date hereof on the
unpaid principal amount hereof, in like money, at said office, on the dates and
at the rates provided in ARTICLE III of the Agreement. All or any portion of
the principal amount of Revolving Loans may be paid, reborrowed, prepaid or
required to be prepaid as provided in the Agreement.
If payment of all sums due hereunder is accelerated under the terms of the
Agreement or under the terms of the other Loan Documents executed in connection
with the Agreement, the then remaining unpaid principal amount and accrued but
unpaid interest shall bear interest which shall be payable on demand at the
rates per annum set forth in the proviso to SECTION 3.2(a) of the Agreement.
Further, in the event of such acceleration, this Revolving Note shall become
immediately due and payable, without presentation, demand, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
In the event this Revolving Note is not paid when due at any stated or
accelerated maturity, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to the principal
and interest, all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and
interest due thereon at the rates set forth above.
Interest hereunder shall be computed as provided in the Agreement.
This Revolving Note is one of the Revolving Notes referred to in the
Agreement and is issued pursuant to and entitled to the benefits and security of
the Agreement to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of
the terms and conditions upon which the Revolving Loans evidenced hereby were or
are made and are to be repaid. This Revolving Note is subject to certain
restrictions on transfer or assignment as provided in the Agreement.
All Persons bound on this obligation, whether primarily or secondarily
liable as principals, sureties, guarantors, endorsers or otherwise, hereby waive
to the full extent permitted by law (a) the benefits of all provisions of law
for stay or delay of execution or sale of property or other satisfaction of
judgment against any of them on account of liability hereon until judgment be
obtained and execution issues against any other of them and returned satisfied
or until it can be shown that the maker or any other party hereto had no
property available for the satisfaction of the debt evidenced by this
instrument, or until any other proceedings can be had against any of them, and
(b) their right, if any, to require the holder hereof to hold as security for
this Revolving Note any collateral deposited by any of said Persons as security.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, diligence or any other formality are hereby waived
by all parties bound hereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate
charged under this Revolving Note, including all charges or fees in connection
herewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed
the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of
interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under the
Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the
outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the
Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the
amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of
interest set forth in the Agreement had at all times been in effect. In
addition, if, when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full, the total
interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is
less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if
the stated rates of interest set forth in the Agreement had at all times been in
effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent
an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the
amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at
all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of
the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration
which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such
excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such
Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
or be refunded to the Borrower. As used in this paragraph, the term "Highest
Lawful Rate" means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or
from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws
applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent
allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and
which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now
allow.

PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
