                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SALES TERRITORY (§ 4.1-404)

Each winery which enters into an agreement with a wine wholesaler shall
designate a sales territory as the primary area of responsibility of that
wholesaler which is applicable to the agreement. No winery shall enter into any
agreement with more than one wholesaler for the purpose of establishing more
than one agreement for its brands of wine in any territory. However, the
existence of more than one such agreement as a result of a sale of a winery as
contemplated by § 4.1-405 shall not be prohibited. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this chapter, a winery may enter into agreements with more than one
wholesaler in a sales territory for new brands which are not clearly extensions
of existing brands. Territories served by a wine wholesaler on February 18,
1989, shall be deemed designated sales territories within the meaning of this
section. Each winery shall notify the Board in writing of all designations of
sales territories, the identity of the wholesaler appointed to serve such
territory and a statement of any variations which exist in the designated
territory in regard to a particular brand. Redesignations shall be reported to
the Board within 30 days.
