to the registered holder of this Note (the "Holder") as of the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest

shown above. Interest on this Note will accrue from the most

duly made available for payment. If the Maturity Date or an

as defined below, principal or interest payable with respect to
such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be,
will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date or Interest
Payment Date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity
Date or Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable and

defined below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of

will be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof is
payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the Persons, and on
the notice, as is provided in the Indenture. As used herein,
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on

declaration shall be due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the

consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of each series under the Indenture
affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series under the
Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture or such Securities and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,

same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

this Note of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether
or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES, INCLUDING THIS NOTE, SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture and all references in the Indenture to "Security" or

Chemical Bank, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor
thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this
instrument to be duly executed, manually or in facsimile, and a
facsimile of its corporate seal to be imprinted hereon.

COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC., a corporation duly

hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, upon
presentation, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
($200,000,000) on November 1, 2008 (the "Maturity Date") in such

private debts, and to pay interest thereon, in like coin or
currency, at a rate of 5.75% per annum, computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment,
semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 (each an
"Interest Payment Date") in each year commencing on May 1, 1999,
to the registered holder of this Note (the "Holder") as of the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
payment, which shall be the April 15 and October 15 next
preceding such Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity Date
shown above. Interest on this Note will accrue from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from
November 2, 1998, until the principal hereof has been paid or
duly made available for payment. If the Maturity Date or an
Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day,
as defined below, principal or interest payable with respect to
such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be,

force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date or Interest
Payment Date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity
Date or Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable and
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date
will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture (as
defined below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment;
provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date
will be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof is
payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the Persons, and on
the notice, as is provided in the Indenture. As used herein,
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on
which banks in the City of New York are not required or
authorized by law to close.

an account maintained by DTC for such purpose.

Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture or such Securities and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive

Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

the Holder surrendering the same.

registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
