Ladies & Gentlemen:

Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“the undersigned” or “Selling Stockholder”) is the investment manager of certain funds and accounts who are the record or beneficial owner of common stock of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) and Related Securities (as defined below). In connection with a possible transaction involving the sale of up to 315,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company (“Transaction”), and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Selling Stockholder agrees as follows:

During the period commencing the date hereof and ending (and including) the 30th day from the date hereof (“Lock-up Period”), the Selling Stockholder will not, without the prior written consent of Jefferies (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly, on behalf of itself or its managed funds and accounts: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or lend any Ordinary Shares or any options or warrants or other rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or any securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares (“Related Securities”); (ii) effect any short sale or establish or increase any put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease any call equivalent position of any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities; (iii) pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest in any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities; (iv) in any other way transfer or dispose of any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities; (v) enter into any swap, hedge or similar arrangement or agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities, regardless of whether any such transaction is to be settled in securities, in cash or otherwise; (vi) announce the offering of any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities; (vii) participate in the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of any Ordinary Shares or Related Securities; or (viii) publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Each of the undersigned’s managed funds and accounts now has, and for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares and Related Securities on behalf of its managed funds and accounts except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the manipulation of the price of any security of the Company. The undersigned will not take, directly or indirectly, any such action.

Whether or not any Transaction occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. Any Transaction will only be made pursuant to a subsequent written agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Selling Stockholder and you.
