Recital
 
WHEREAS, the Existing Shareholders have agreed as a condition of the Stern Participants’ closing the transactions contemplated by the Master Acquisition Agreement dated December 10, 2009, by and among the Company, the Stern Participants, and other parties (the “Master Acquisition Agreement”) to enter into this Agreement.
 
IT IS AGREED:
 
1. Exercise or Sale of Warrants.  
 
(a) Following the later of (i) six (6) months after the Closing and (ii) Registration Statement Effective Date (the “Trigger Date”), each of the Existing Shareholders agrees to exercise for cash or sell all of the Private Placement Warrants owned by them (the “Covered Warrants”).  The Existing Shareholders shall exercise for cash or sell on average for each day after the Trigger Date that the last reported sales price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC is greater than $9.00 (the “Closing Price Threshold”) a number of Covered Warrants equal to the greater of (A) ten (10%) percent of the ADTV of the Company’s Ordinary Shares for each day after the Trigger Date that the Closing Price Threshold was satisfied or (B) 50,000 Covered Warrants.  The average daily number of Covered Warrants exercised for cash or sold shall be measured on a weekly basis beginning with the week in which the Closing Price Threshold is first met after the Trigger Date and on a cumulative basis each week thereafter.  Sales of Covered Warrants shall be included as sales for purposes of the foregoing calculation, whether sold in a reported transaction or in a private placement transaction.
 
(b) The Existing Shareholders shall coordinate their exercises and sales of the Covered Warrants so as to satisfy the requirements of Section 1(a) as follows:
 
(i) Immediately following the Trigger Date, each Existing Shareholder shall notify the Agent in writing of the (A) number of Covered Warrants they elect to exercise with cash from the sale of other such Covered Warrants (the “Cashless Exercise Warrants”); (B) the number of such Warrants they elect to exercise from other cash resources and the date on which they intend to exercise such Warrants; and (C) the number of such Warrants they direct the Agent to sell on their behalf (the “Sale Warrants”).  If, based upon the notices received by the Agent from the Existing Shareholders, the Agent determines that the Existing Shareholders will not be able to satisfy their obligations under Section 1, it shall revise the desired sales and exercises by the Existing Shareholders as it deems appropriate to allow the Existing Shareholders to satisfy their obligations under Section 1 and so shall notify the Existing Shareholders of revisions to their notices.  Each Existing Shareholder may change such designation from time to time by written notice to the Agent; provided that such change does not adversely impact the ability of the Existing Shareholders to satisfy their obligations under Section 1, as determined in the sole discretion of the Agent.
 
1

(ii) The Agent shall coordinate the sale of the Sale Warrants by the Existing Shareholders so as to satisfy the requirements of Section 1(a), when taken in conjunction with Covered Warrants exercised by the Existing Shareholders.
 
(iii) To the extent an Existing Shareholder elects to exercise Cashless Exercise Warrants, the proceeds from the first Covered Warrants owned by that Existing Shareholder sold by the Agent shall be used to exercise such Warrants on behalf of the Existing Shareholder.
 
(iv) The Agent shall sell Covered Warrants in such order, numbers, proportions, times, prices, manner, including private sales, market trades or block purchases, and other terms as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, and the Agent is not required to sell Covered Warrants on a proportionate basis among the Existing Shareholders.
 
(v) If an Existing Shareholder fails to exercise a Covered Warrant within seven (7) days after the date indicated in its written notice, the Agent is authorized to sell those Covered Warrants on behalf of the Existing Shareholder.
 
(vi) The Agent will remit net proceeds from the sale of Covered Warrants directly to the Existing Shareholders who own such Warrants.
 
(c) A sale to a Permitted Transferee shall not be deemed to be a sale for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(d) Each of the Existing Shareholders shall not exercise any of the Private Placement Warrants held by them, except for cash.
 
(e) The Existing Shareholders will sell the Covered Warrants only to persons who agree in writing to exercise such warrants within fifteen (15) days after they purchase such warrants from the Existing Shareholders and will cooperate with the Stern Participants as is reasonably necessary to enforce such obligation.
 
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees to allow the Agent to pay the exercise price of the Covered Warrants sold for its own account or for the accounts of the Existing Shareholders by delivery of a binding written commitment, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to pay the exercise price of the Covered Warrants being exercised within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the subscription form required for the exercise of the warrant.
 
2

(g) The Company agrees that as promptly as possible following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Acquisition Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC the registration statement described in the definition of Registration Statement Effective Date and shall take such actions as are necessary to qualify for sale the securities covered by such registration statement in those states in which the such securities were initially offered by the Company.  The Company shall cause the such registration statement to become effective as soon as is reasonably possible and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until at least the Termination Date.
 
2. Transfer Restrictions.  The Existing Shareholders shall not transfer or assign any of the Covered Warrants owned by them to a Permitted Transferee unless the Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
3. Amendments to Warrants.  The Existing Shareholders will not agree to any amendments to the Private Placement Warrants without the consent of the Stern Participants.
 
4. Escrow.  Prior to the Termination Date, the outstanding Private Placement Warrants shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement  Warrant Escrow Agreement, as amended as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
 
5. Share Issuance.  In consideration for the Existing Shareholders entering into this Agreement, effective as of the date of the exercise for cash or sale of each Covered Warrant prior to the Termination Date, .116505 Ordinary Shares of the Company for each such warrant so exercised or sold will be issued as directed by the Agent to the Existing Shareholders (the number of shares issued to each Existing Shareholders to be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion) pursuant to written instructions provided by the Agent to the Company (the “Additional Shares”).  Additional Shares shall be issued to the Existing Shareholders promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, based on the number of Covered Warrants exercised or sold by the Existing Shareholders during such calendar quarter.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Ordinary Shares and any such fractional amount shall be carried over to the next issuance to the Existing Shareholders or, if earlier, will lapse at the Termination Date.
