Any such Paying Agent with which a Definitive Note or Individual Note Certificate is deposited shall deliver a duly completed Put Option Receipt to the depositing Noteholder and shall hold such Definitive Note or Individual Note Certificate on behalf of the depositing Noteholder (but shall not, save as provided below or in the Conditions, release it) until the Optional Redemption Date (Put), when it shall present such Definitive Note or Individual Note Certificate to itself for payment of the redemption moneys therefor and interest (if any) accrued to such date in accordance with the Conditions and Clause 8 (Payments to Noteholders) and pay such amounts in accordance with the directions of the Noteholder contained in the Put Option Notice; provided, however, that if, prior to the Optional Redemption Date (Put), such Definitive Note or Notes evidenced by such Individual Note Certificate become immediately due and payable or upon due presentation of such Definitive Note or Individual Note Certificate payment of such redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the relevant Paying Agent shall mail notification thereof to the depositing Noteholder at such address as may have been given by such Noteholder in the relevant Put Option Notice and shall, in the case of a Definitive Note, hold such Note at its Specified Office for collection by the depositing Noteholder against surrender of the relevant Put Option Receipt and, in the case of an Individual Note Certificate, mail such Note Certificate by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the Noteholder at such address as may have been given by such Noteholder in the relevant Put Option Notice.

Any Paying Agent which receives a Put Option Notice in respect of Notes represented by a Permanent Global Note or a Global Registered Note shall make payment of the relevant redemption moneys and interest accrued to the Optional Redemption Date (Put) in accordance with the Conditions, Clause 8 (Payments to Noteholders) and the terms of the Permanent Global Note or Global Registered Note, as the case may be.

If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.
Exercise of Right No failure or delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder, and no course of dealing between the Parties, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
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.
