For purpose of this Agreement; the “ Per Share Series C Amount ” means an amount equal to $ 1.5299 per share of Series C Preferred Shares; the “ Per Share Series B Amount ” means an amount equal to $ 1.08946 per share of Series B Preferred Shares; the “ Per Share Series A-3 Amount ” means an amount equal to $ 1.08946 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Shares; the “ Per Share Series A-1 Amount ” means an amount equal to $ 13.6542 per share of Series A-1 Preferred Shares; and the “ Per Share Series Ordinary A Amount ” means an amount equal to $ 3.6316095 per share of Series Ordinary A Shares;; plus in each such per share amount above (other than the Ordinary A Shares) the amount of interest accrued and applicable to each such Company Shares calculated as of November 30, 2009, as set forth in the Consideration Allocation Spreadsheet. The Preference Amount shall be $35,344,209.

(2)           At the Closing - the product of the Per Share Ordinary Amount multiplied by the sum of (i) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by such Selling Shareholder on the Closing Date, plus (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Series Ordinary A Shares, Series A-1 Preferred Shares, Series A-3 Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares held by such Shareholder on the Closing Date, as set forth opposite the name of such Shareholder on the Consideration Allocation Certificate.

(i)           The Aggregate Consideration Value minus the Preference Amount shall be referred to herein as the “ Aggregate Participating Amount ”.

(ii)           The quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Participating Amount by the " Fully Diluted Equity Securities " (which is equal to the total number of Participating Shares plus the total number of Vested Company Options which are outstanding as of the Closing Date plus the total number of Company Ordinary Shares that are subject to the Unvested Company Option assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), shall be defined as the " Per Share FD Amount ".

(iii)           The “ Participating Rights Holders Participating Amount” shall be equal to the Aggregate Participating Amount minus the product obtained by multiplying the Unvested Company Options by the Per Share FD Amount (i.e., the Value of Unvested Company Options”).

(iv)           The quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Participating Rights Holders Participating Amount plus the Aggregate Exercise Amount, by (B) the Participating Shares plus the total number of Vested Company Options, shall be defined as the “ Per Share Ordinary Amount ”. In this Agreement, the “ Aggregate Exercise Amount ” shall mean the amount which would have been obtained if the total number of Vested Company Options had been exercised in full into Company Shares. For clarification purposes, the Aggregate Exercise Amount will not be actually paid by the holders of Vested Company Options, nor will it be added to the Closing Cash Consideration, but rather used for calculation purposes only in order to determine the Per Share Ordinary Amount.

The total number of shares held by each Selling Shareholder and which are referred to in subsection 2.03(a)(2)(i) and 2.03(a)(2)(ii) above shall be referred to as the “ Selling Shareholder’s Participating Shares ” and for all Selling Shareholders the “ Participating Shares ”; The amount or value each Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this subsection 2.03(a)(2) shall be referred to as the “ Selling Shareholder’s Participating Amount ” and for all Selling Shareholders the “Shareholders Participating Amount ”.

(3)           In this Agreement:

The “ Closing Payment Value ” means an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration Value minus the Value of Unvested Company Options.

In this Agreement the “ Value of the Closing Consideration Shares ” means an amount equal to the Closing SD Share Price multiplied by the total number of Closing Consideration Shares; and the " Value of the Phantom Shares " means an amount equal to the Closing SD Share Price multiplied by the total number of Phantom Shares.

The proportion between the Closing Consideration Shares and the Closing Cash Consideration each Selling Shareholder will be entitled to receive at the Closing, will be based on the ratio between the Cash Portion and the Equity Portion (the “ Distribution Ratio ”).

The number of Closing Consideration Shares each Selling Shareholder will be entitled to receive shall be equal to such Selling Shareholder’s Closing Payment Amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the Equity Portion and the denominator is equal to the Closing SD Share Price.

The number of Closing Consideration Shares and the portion of the Cash Consideration each Selling Shareholders will be entitled to receive at the Closing shall be set forth in the Consideration Allocation Certificate.

(b)            Holder’s of Vested Company Options :

(1)           At the Closing, each holder of a Vested Company Option, by virtue of the Transactions without any action on the part of the holder, shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such Vested Company Option an amount in cash equal to the product of Per Share Ordinary Amount multiplied by the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon a cashless exercise (i.e. using the Per Share Ordinary Amount) of such Optionholder’s Vested Company Option (“ Optionholder’s Closing Payment Amount ”).    

The Purchaser's Shares that all holders of Vested Company Options would have been entitled to receive, if such Optionholders had exercised their Vested Company Options into Company Shares (on a cashless basis) is defined as the " Phantom Shares ". The number of Phantom Shares each holder of Vested Company Options would have been entitled to receive if such Optionholder would have exercised his, her or its Vested Company Options, shall be equal to such Optionholder’s Closing Payment Amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the Equity Portion and the denominator is equal to the Closing SD Share Price.

For clarification purposes (i) the Phantom Shares are not issuable and will not be issued to the holders of Vested Company Options and in lieu of such Phantom Shares such holders of Vested Company Options will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to such Optionholder's respective number of Phantom Shares multiplied by the Closing SD Share Price; and (ii) the total amount payable to all holders of Vested Company Options pursuant to this sub-section shall be equal to the Vested Options Adjustment Amount.

(2)           Payments made to each holder of Vested Company Options will be made to the Trustee through the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.10 below;

Each Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole Consideration Shares equal to the number of Company Ordinary Shares that were subject to the Unvested portion of such Company Option immediately prior to the Closing Date multiplied by the ratio of the Per Share FD Amount to the Closing SD Share Price (such ratio, the “ Option Ratio ”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of Consideration Shares (and the per share exercise price for the Consideration Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing Date by the Option Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The “ Value of Unvested Company Options ” shall mean the product obtained by multiplying the Unvested Company Options by the Per Share FD Amount.

(2)            The number of Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be referred to as the “ Purchaser’s Equity Awards ”.  The number of Purchaser's Equity Awards each holder of Unvested Company Options will be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be set forth in the Consideration Allocation Certificate.

(d)            Company Warrantholders .

(3)           For clarification purposes the parties acknowledge that for purposes of this Section 2.03 and the calculation of the amount distributed to each Equityholder, the Warrantholders will deemed to be, and are treated as, Selling Shareholders (and the formulas set forth above should include the number of Company Shares issuable upon a cashless exercise of such Warrants).

(a)           Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Purchaser elects to exercise its rights to provide the Bring-Along Notice under Section 2.02(b)(3) of this Agreement, Purchaser shall transfer to the Paying Agent the appropriate portion out of the Closing Consideration Shares and the Closing Cash Consideration payable under this Agreement to all Non Executing Shareholders, subject to any applicable amount to remain in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 2.05 (the “ Non-Executing Shareholder’s Deposit ”). Such amounts will be held by the Paying Agent in trust for and to the benefit of each such Non Executing Shareholders, until such Non Executing Shareholder shall have become an Execution Shareholder hereunder by executing and delivering to Purchaser this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to be executed by it and otherwise delivering to Purchaser all other deliveries called for herein. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Paying Agent shall transfer to such Non Executing Shareholder who has become an Executing Shareholder his, her or its appropriate portion held in such assets and funds. The foregoing shall also apply, mutatis mutandis , to the appropriate portion of any sums released from the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.  Should a Non-Executing Shareholder not execute the aforementioned within three months of the Bring-Along Notice, then the Purchaser may direct the Paying Agent to transfer such Non-Executing Shareholder’s Deposit to the Company.  Thereafter, such Non-Executing Shareholder shall look only to the Company for the Non-Executing Shareholder’s Deposit.

A portion of the Closing Cash Consideration otherwise payable to the Participating Rights Holders equal to $200,000 (the “ Rep Reimbursement Amount ”), shall not be paid at the Closing to the Participating Rights Holders, but shall instead be deposited with the Escrow Agent, to be used by the Holder Representatives for the payment of expenses incurred by each of the Holder Representatives in performing his duties pursuant to this Agreement. The portion of the Closing Cash Consideration to be contributed on behalf of each Participating Rights Holder hereunder to the Rep Reimbursement Amount shall be based on the Participating Rights Holder’s Interest. The Rep Reimbursement Amount shall in no manner affect or impact the amount of the Escrow Fund. In the event that the Holder Representatives have not used the entire Rep Reimbursement Amount at such time as the termination of the Escrow Period, any remaining amount shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Participation Rights Holders pro rata to their respective Participating Rights Holder’s Interests. The Rep Reimbursement Amount, or any portion thereof, will be distributed to the Participating Rights Holders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and such distribution shall be based on the Participating Rights Holder's Interest.  If the Rep Reimbursement Amount shall be insufficient to reimburse each of the Holder Representatives’ expenses in accordance with this Agreement, then upon written request of the Holder Representatives, each Participating Rights Holder shall make a payment of its respective share of such additional expenses to the Holder Representatives, based on such Participating Rights Holder’s Interest; provided, however, that any additional payment by each Participating Rights Holder shall not impact any of the obligations of each Participating Rights Holder pursuant to Article XI below.

(b)            Consideration Allocation Certificate . Not later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser and the Holder Representatives a certificate of the Company (the “ Estimated Company Pre-Closing Certificate ”) executed on its behalf by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that sets forth in reasonable detail the Company’s estimate of the Closing Cash, together with copies of the Company bank statements supporting such estimation (“ Estimated Closing Cash ”). The Estimated Company Pre-Closing Certificate will be amended and delivered to Purchaser one (1) Business Day before the Closing, to reflect any changes in the Closing Cash. The adjusted certificate will be referred to herein as the “ Closing Cash Certificate ”. The amounts set forth in the Closing Cash Certificate shall be incorporated in the Consideration Allocation Certificate. The Closing Cash Certificate shall be executed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty of the Company with respect to the amount of Cash held by the Company at Closing. The Consideration Allocation Certificate, as adjusted to reflect the Closing Cash Certificate (the “ Consideration Allocation Certificate ”) shall be delivered together with the Closing Cash Certificate and shall be executed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and by the Holder Representatives, and shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty of the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders with respect to his, her or its entitlement to distribution hereunder. In no event shall Purchaser be required to make any payments pursuant to this Agreement unless and until the Consideration Allocation Certificate has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Holder Representatives. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely entirely upon the Consideration Allocation Certificate in connection with making the payments pursuant to this Agreement and neither the Holder Representatives nor any Equityholder shall be entitled to make any claim in respect of the allocation of the payments made by Purchaser to or for the benefit of any Equityholders to the extent that the payments are made in a manner consistent with the Consideration Allocation Certificate.
