Co-Sale Right 3.1 An Offeror may not sell any of the Offered Shares until each of the Investors shall have been given the right (a “Co-Sale Right”), exercisable by Notice delivered to the Company and the Offeror within twenty (20) days from the date of the Company Notice, to sell to the proposed purchaser or purchasers (including, as applicable, the Company and any Electing Investors), upon the same terms and conditions offered by the Offeror, a number of shares up to the Investor’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Shares”).
3.2 Any Investor who fails to notify the Company and Offeror within twenty (20) days after the Sale Notice of the exercise of the Investor’s Co-Sale Right (or who has exercised purchase rights under Section 2), shall have thereby waived Co-Sale Rights with respect to the Offered Shares.
3.3 If any Investor has made a timely exercise of a Co-Sale Right, to the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from an Investor exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder (a “Co-Selling Investor”), the Offeror shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases such Co-Sale Shares from such Co-Selling Investor for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sale Notice.
3.4 Each Co-Selling Investor shall, promptly after exercising a Co-Sale Right, deliver to the Offeror for transfer to the prospective purchaser or purchasers one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, evidencing the Co-Sale Shares, Series A-1 Shares convertible into Co-Sale Shares or any combination of the two (and, if the Offered Shares included Series A Shares, the number of Series A Shares comprising Co-Sale Shares). If a prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of preferred stock in lieu of Common Stock, any Co-Selling Investor shall convert the Series A-1 Shares into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual sale of such shares to the proposed purchaser. Series A Shares may not be delivered to exercise a Co-Sale Right with respect to offered Common Stock or offered Series A-1 Shares.
3.5 If the Investors have not elected to purchase all of the Available Shares pursuant to Section 2, the Offeror may, during the 60-day period following the Settlement Date, offer the remaining unsold portion of the Available Shares (as reduced by any exercised Co-Sale Rights, the “Salable Shares”), along with any Co-Sale Shares, on terms and conditions (other than the time permitted to close the purchase) no more favorable to the Offeree than those specified in the Sale Notice, to the purchaser or purchasers identified in the Sale Notice. If the Offeror does not enter into an agreement for the sale of any of the Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of its execution, the right provided under Sections 2 and 3 shall be revived as to the unsold Offered Shares, which shall not be sold unless first reoffered to the Company and the Investors in accordance with Sections 2 and 3. Any partial sale of Shares made pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares.
3.6 On consummation of the sale of the Offered Shares and Co-Sale Shares, the Offeror shall transfer to the purchaser the stock certificate or certificates that the Investor has delivered to the Offeror pursuant to Section 3.4. The Offeror shall, upon receipt, remit to the Co-Selling Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Selling Investor, the Offeror shall not sell any Offered Shares to the prospective purchaser unless, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases the Co-Sale Shares from such Investor.
Put Option The Company hereby grants to Lender an option (the “Put Option”) to sell all or any portion of the Issued Shares (the “Put Shares”) to the Company for a total purchase price of $195,000, pro-rated for any portion thereof (the “Put Price”). The Put Option may be exercised with respect to any amount that is equal to or less than the entire balance of the outstanding Put Shares, at any time during the earlier to occur of the following Put Option exercise periods (the “Put Period”): (a) the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the first anniversary hereof, or (b) the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the date which is nine (9) months after the date that the registration statement for the registration of the Issued Shares is declared effective by the SEC . If not exercised during the Put Period, the Put Option shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. The Put Option shall be exercisable by Lender’s delivery of written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”). The Put Notice shall specify the date on which the closing of the purchase of the Put Shares shall take place (the “Put Closing Date”), which such date shall be no earlier than ten (10) days but no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the Put Notice. On or before the Put Closing Date, Lender will deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Put Shares (duly endorsed for transfer by Lender or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and the Company shall tender to Lender the Put Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated by Lender. The Company and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Company’s obligation to purchase the Issued Shares from Lender pursuant to the Put Option is an Obligation secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents, and for so long as the Put Option is outstanding and, if exercised, the Put Price is not yet tendered, the Lender’s right to receive the Put Price shall be secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents. Lender’s right to exercise the Put Option shall not be transferred or assigned to any third party.
6.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option upon a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as follows: The Company shall send written notice of the proposed Fundamental Transaction (“Fundamental Transaction Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, together with all relevant information relating thereto, in form sufficient to enable Lender to make an informed decision as to whether it should accelerate the Put Option. Within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s receipt of the Fundamental Transaction Notice, Lender shall advise the Company whether the Lender has elected to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option. Lender’s failure to timely notify the Company of Lender’s intention to accelerate the Put Option shall be deemed an intention to decline to accelerate the Put Option.
6.2 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option following an Event of Default under the Loan Documents (which acceleration right shall not be waived if not exercised following a prior Event of Default), in which event the Put Price shall be added to the Obligations under the Loan Agreement and secured by the Collateral thereunder, and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender.
6.3 If any portion of the Note is converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Put Option set forth hereinabove, if not terminated by its terms herein, shall terminate.
Put Right (a) Upon the occurrence of a Put Event, the KO Shareholders shall have the right (a “Put Right”) to require the Majority Shareholders to purchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Andina stock owned by them (except as provided in the next sentence) at the Put Price (calculated on a per share basis) as determined in Section 5.1(b). For purposes of this Section 5.1, the Shareholders agree that the shares of Andina stock subject to the Put Right shall include only the Shares currently owned by the KO Shareholders and any additional shares of Andina capital stock acquired by the KO Shareholders through the exercise of their preemptive rights. The KO Shareholders shall give written notice to the Majority Shareholders of their intention to exercise their Put Right within 15 days after the date of the first meeting of the KO Board of Directors which is held at least 30 days after the date upon which the KO Shareholders receive written notice of the determination of the Put Price pursuant to Section 5.1(b).
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Put Event, at the request of the KO Shareholders, the parties shall cause the Put Price to be determined as follows:
(i) If the shares to be purchased by the Majority Shareholders pursuant to the Put Right are shares of Series A Stock, the Put Price for such shares shall be mutually agreed upon by the KO Shareholders and the Majority Shareholders or, if the KO Shareholders and the Majority Shareholders are unable to agree within thirty days after the request by the KO Shareholders for the determination of the Put Price, the Majority Shareholders, on the one hand, and the KO Shareholders, on the other hand, shall each choose an internationally recognized investment banking firm with experience in the analysis of soft drink businesses, and each of those two firms within 60 days from the date of their engagement shall prepare an appraisal setting forth its determination of the Put Price. If such two firms do not agree on the Put Price and following such determination the KO Shareholders and the Majority Shareholders continue to be unable to agree upon the Put Price within ten days from the expiration of such 60-day term, the two firms shall, in good faith, select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall be an internationally recognized firm with experience in the analysis of soft drink businesses. The third investment banking firm so selected shall within forty-five days from the date of its engagement prepare an appraisal setting forth its determination of the Put Price, which determination shall be final and binding to the parties. The cost of such investment banking firm(s) shall be borne equally by the KO Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Majority Shareholders, on the other. The KO Shareholders and the Majority Shareholders shall cooperate fully in selecting investment bankers and shall cooperate fully in their determination of the Put Price. If a party fails to select an investment banker or fails to cooperate with such banker as described herein, in either case, within ten days of receipt of a notice specifying such failure to cooperate from the other party or parties, the other party or parties shall, in good faith, cooperate with the investment banker already retained under the terms of this provision or, if not yet retained, select an investment banking firm of its sole discretion, to make a determination of the Put Price, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall instruct the investment banking firm so retained to deliver its written opinion as to the Put Price to the parties within thirty days following the selection of such banker. The Put Price of the shares of Series A Stock shall be the price that a holder of shares of Series A Stock would receive upon the sale of such shares in a transaction under market conditions between a willing seller and a willing buyer as of the date of the request by the KO Shareholders that the Put Price be determined.
(ii) If the Shares to be purchase by the Majority Shareholders pursuant to the Put Right are shares of Series B Stock, the Put Price shall be the Market Value of such shares of Series B Stock.
(c) If the KO Shareholders shall for purposes of this Agreement consent in writing to a Put Event, such prior written consent shall be deemed to be a waiver of their Put Right for purposes of the transaction as to which written consent has been given; provided, however, that such written consent shall not be deemed to be a waiver of their Put Right for purposes of any other transaction which might be deemed to constitute a Put Event.
Co-Sale Rights (a) In the event any Member (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Selling Member”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Co-Sale Units”) other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, the Selling Member shall deliver a written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to each other Member (each, a “Co-Sale Offeree”) at least thirty (30) days prior to making such Transfer describing the general terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the purchase price for the Co-Sale Units, the proposed purchaser(s), the closing date for the sale and the portion of the Selling Member’s Units to be Transferred (the “Co-Sale Participation Percentage”). Each Co-Sale Offeree may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer at the same price and on the same terms and conditions by delivering written notice to the Selling Member within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Co-Sale Notice, which notice shall specify the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree desires to include in such proposed Transfer, provided that such percentage shall not exceed the Co-Sale Participation Percentage. If a Co-Sale Offeree does not give such notice prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15)-day period for giving such notice, then the Selling Member may Transfer the Co-Sale Units to any Person on terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Co-Sale Notice at any time within ninety (90) days after expiration of such fifteen (15)-day period for giving notice (provided, that if any governmental or other third party approval is required with respect to such Transfer, then such period shall be extended until a reasonable time after such approvals are obtained). Any Co-Sale Units not Transferred by the Selling Member during such ninety (90)-day period (as such period may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.15 prior to any subsequent Transfer.
(b) To the extent that one or more Co-Sale Offerees exercises its right of participation pursuant to Section 11.15(a), then, at the Selling Member’s option, either the percentage of Units that the Selling Member and each other participating Co-Sale Offeree may sell in the transaction shall be reduced below the applicable Co-Sale Participation Percentage to a percentage equal to the Selling Member’s or the participating Co-Sale Offeree’s (as applicable) pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer, or the aggregate Units to be sold in the transaction shall be increased to accommodate the Units of those participating Co-Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 11.15.
(c) The Selling Member shall not Transfer any Co-Sale Units to any prospective transferee if such prospective transferee declines to purchase Units from participating Co-Sale Offerees, unless the Selling Member acquires from each such participating Co-Sale Offeree (on the terms set forth in the Co-Sale Notice) its pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer (or, if less, the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree requested to Transfer to such transferee) on the same price, terms and conditions as would be applicable in a direct sale of such Units to the proposed transferee. The Selling Member will endeavor to facilitate the purchase by any prospective transferee of Units held by a Co-Sale Offeree which are not eligible for co-sale pursuant to this Section 11.15 if and to the extent such Co-Sale Offeree wishes to include such interests in the Transfer, but neither the Selling Member nor any other Person shall be liable if the prospective transferee declines to do so.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Warrant Holder, the Call Notices must be given to all Warrant Holders who receive Warrants similar to this Warrant (in terms of exercise price and otherwise) on or about the same issue date as this Warrant in proportion to the amounts of Common Stock which can be purchased by the respective Warrant Holders in accordance with the respective Warrant held by each.
(d) The Company may give a Call Notice in connection with up to 50% of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant provided the closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market as defined in the Subscription Agreement, for each trading day during the thirty days prior to the giving of the Call Notice ("Lookback Period") is 200% of the Purchase Price and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period is not less than 100,000 Common Shares.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement The Company and the Representative have entered into a separate business combination marketing agreement substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Business Combination Marketing Agreement”).
Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND 2.4.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from BellSouth’s Main Distribution Frame to a customer’s premises (including the NID). The UCL-ND will be a “dry copper” facility in that it will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils, repeaters, or digital access main lines (“DAMLs”), and may have up to 6,000 feet of bridged tap between the end user’s premises and the serving wire center. The UCL-ND typically will be 1300 Ohms resistance and in most cases will not exceed 18,000 feet in length, although the UCL-ND will not have a specific length limitation. For loops less than 18,000 feet and with less than 1300 Ohms resistance, the loop will provide a voice grade transmission channel suitable for loop start signaling and the transport of analog voice grade signals. The UCL-ND will not be designed and will not be provisioned with either a DLR or a test point.
2.4.3.2 The UCL-ND facilities may be mechanically assigned using BellSouth’s assignment systems. Therefore, the Loop Make Up process is not required to order and provision the UCL-ND. However, Lightyear can request Loop Make Up for which additional charges would apply.
2.4.3.3 At an additional charge, BellSouth also will make available Loop Testing so that Lightyear may request further testing on the UCL-ND. Rates for Loop Testing are as set forth in Exhibit B of this Attachment.
2.4.3.4 UCL-ND loops are not intended to support any particular service and may be utilized by Lightyear to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services so long as those services do not adversely affect BellSouth’s network. The UCL-ND will include a Network Interface Device (NID) at the customer’s location for the purpose of connecting the loop to the customer’s inside wire.
2.4.3.5 Order Coordination (OC) will be provided as a chargeable option and may be utilized when the UCL-ND provisioning is associated with the reuse of BellSouth facilities. Order Coordination -Time Specific (OC-TS) does not apply to this product.
2.4.3.6 Lightyear may use BellSouth’s Unbundled Loop Modification (ULM) offering to remove bridge tap and/or load coils from any loop within the BellSouth network. Therefore, some loops that would not qualify as UCL-ND could be transformed into loops that do qualify, using the ULM process.
