• 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.

• 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.

(b) The Company's right to exercise the Warrant Call shall commence with the actual effective date of the registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) of the Subscription Agreement and thereafter, shall be coterminous with the exercise period of the Warrants for a maximum of 50% of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares"), provided, that the registration statement is effective at the date the Call Notice is given and through the period ending 14 business days thereafter.

(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. Subject to the other limitations set forth herein, the maximum amount of Warrant Shares for which Call Notices may be given during any thirty day period shall be equal to 10% of the aggregate reported trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period.

If any Optional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The Representatives may cancel the option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
