SECTION 2.6. Adjusted Purchase Value; NAV Appraisals.

(a) The Wimbledon Parties hereby covenant and agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Asset Appraiser to deliver the NAV Appraisal on or before June 30, 2010. The calculations of the NAV Appraisal by the Asset Appraiser shall be final and binding upon all Parties hereto.

(b) Upon delivery of the NAV Appraisal, the Adjusted Purchase Value of the Fund shall be determined. As provided in the ASSAC Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations, there shall be a post-Closing adjustment to the Conversion Shares and the Conversion Ratio, as provided in Section 2.7 below.

SECTION 2.7. Conversion of ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares.

Upon delivery of the NAV Appraisal, the number of Conversion Shares and the Conversion Ratio shall be recalculated, as follows:

(a) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that are issuable to the Fund or the Fund Shareholders, as the case may be, upon automatic conversion of all ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares previously issued to the Fund or the Fund Shareholders, respectively, shall be automatically and without any further action adjusted and determined by dividing (i) the Adjusted Purchase Value of the Fund, by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect;

(b) the Conversion Ratio applicable to the Fund or the Fund Shareholders shall, automatically and without any further action, be adjusted and determined by dividing the (i) aggregate number of Conversion Shares applicable to the Fund, as determined in accordance with Section 2.7(a) above, by (ii) the number of ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares issued at Closing to the Fund or Fund Shareholders; and

(c) the number of Conversion Shares issuable to the Fund and if applicable, to each individual Shareholder of the Fund, respectively, upon automatic conversion of all ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares issued to the Fund or Fund Shareholder, shall be shall be automatically and without any further action determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Shares issued to the Fund or Fund Shareholder, by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, as determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b) above.

For the avoidance of doubt, if for example:

(A) The Estimated NAV of the Fund at December 31, 2009 is $106.0 million, then 100% the Purchase Value of the Fund payable to the Fund is $106.0 million.

(B) The Fund shall receive at Closing 106,000 ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares, having a total stated or liquidation value of $1,000 per share.

(C) Based on the initial $7.50 per shares Conversion Price, the assumed number of Conversion Shares at the Closing Date would be 14,133,333 ASSAC Ordinary Shares ($106.0 million divided by $7.50) and the assumed Conversion Ratio would be 133.333 ASSAC Ordinary Shares for each of the 106,000 ASSAC Preferred Shares, or 133.333:1.

(D) If the Appraised NAV based on the NAV Appraisal of the Fund reflects that the Adjusted Purchase Value of the Fund as at December 31, 2009 was, in fact, only $80.0 Million, then the Consideration that should have been payable to the Fund or the Fund Shareholders at the Closing is only $85,000,000 and not $106,000,000.

(E) The actual number of Conversion Shares issuable to the Fund or the Fund Shareholders is then automatically adjusted downwards to 11,333,333 ASSAC Ordinary Shares ($85.0 million divided by $7.50), and the adjusted Conversion Ratio applicable to each full ASSAC Series A Preferred Share would be 106.918 ASSAC Ordinary Shares for each of the 106,000 ASSAC Preferred Shares, or 106.918:1 (11,333,333 Conversion Shares divided by 106,000 ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares).

The number of ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares always remains fixed but the Conversion Shares and Conversion Ratio change based upon the Adjusted Purchase Value of the Fund. In addition, the 5% dividend on the ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares will also be payable in additional ASSAC Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Date and will reflect the Adjusted Purchase Values based upon the NAV Appraisals. To avoid the issuance of fractional Ordinary Shares, all Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.

SECTION 2.8. Delivery of Consideration Certificates.

(a) On the Closing Date, ASSAC shall deliver to the Fund, one (1) or more share certificates evidencing the aggregate number of ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares issuable to the Fund, registered in the name of “Wimbledon Financing Master Fund Ltd.”. The Fund may, following the Closing, at its option, either cause ASSAC to issue and thereafter distribute Series A Preferred Share certificates to the individual Fund Shareholders, or hold such share certificates for the benefit of the Fund Shareholders pending the automatic conversion of such ASSAC Series A Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares as contemplated pursuant to this Article II.

(b) Following the Conversion Date, ASSAC shall either deliver physical stock certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares registered in the name of the Fund or at the request of the Fund, registered in the names of the Fund Shareholders or other Persons or deliver such certificates in electronic format by DTC or other method, all as requested by the Fund.

Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the State and County of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect to any such action or proceeding. Each party appoints CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process that might be served in the action or proceeding. Any party may make service on any other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process (i) to the party to be served or (ii) to the party to be served in care of the Process Agent at such address as shall be provided by such Process Agent. The parties agree that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum.

The parties intend that each representation, warranty and agreement contained in this Agreement will have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or agreement.

When any party may take any permissive action, including the granting of a consent, the waiver of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, whether to take such action is in its sole and absolute discretion. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender or the singular or plural form of words will not limit any provisions of this Agreement. A statement that an item is listed, disclosed or described means that it is correctly listed, disclosed or described, and a statement that a copy of an item has been delivered means a true and correct copy of the item has been delivered.

SCHEDULE A

NAV Valuation Methods

Net Asset Value is generally equal to the amount by which the value of the assets of the applicable Person exceeds the amount of its liabilities. Net Asset Value determinations are made by the Asset Appraiser in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance with the following criteria:

(a) No value will be assigned to goodwill;

(b) All accrued debts and liabilities will be treated as liabilities, including but not limited to, estimated expenses for accounting, legal, administrative and other operating expenses (including all fees payable under the Portfolio Management Agreement between the Fund and Weston) and such reserves for contingent liabilities of the applicable Person, including estimated expenses, if any, in connection therewith, as the Asset Appraiser shall determine;

(c) Loans, loan participations and other similar assets owned by an applicable Person will generally be carried at the high range of fair market value as determined by the Asset Appraiser, and will be subject to an independent valuation review as frequently as determined by the Asset Appraiser. These independent valuation reviews will provide the applicable Person with opinions on whether specific pieces of collateral are in need of re-valuation. The Asset Appraiser, on the basis of this information, will determine whether a specific loan or other asset needs to be re-priced;

(d) In the case of investments in private investment funds or other vehicles which are not readily marketable, in the absence of an independent fair market value appraisal or audit, the net asset value calculation provided by the administrators or managers of those underlying funds or vehicles will be used in determining an applicable Person’s Net Asset Value.

(e) Securities or commodities (which for valuation purposes hereunder may include weather derivatives and other financial instruments trading on or off, as the case may be, commodities exchanges) that are listed on a national securities or commodities exchange, as the case may be, shall be valued at their last sales prices on the date of determination on the largest securities or commodities exchange (by trading volume in such security or commodity) on which such securities or commodities shall have traded on such date, or if trading in such securities or commodities on the largest securities or commodities exchange (by trading volume in such security or commodity) on which such securities or commodities shall have traded on such date was reported on the consolidated tape, their last sales price on the consolidated tape (or, in the event that the date of determination is not a date upon which a securities or commodities exchange was open for trading, on the last prior date on which such securities or commodities exchange was so open not more than 10 days prior to the date of determination). If no such sales of such securities or commodities occurred on either of the foregoing dates, such securities or commodities shall be valued at the “bid” price for long positions and “asked” price for short positions on the largest securities or commodities exchange (by trading volume in such security) on which such securities or commodities are traded, on the date of determination, or, if the “bid” price for long positions and “asked” price for short positions in such securities or commodities on the largest securities or commodities exchange (by trading volume in such security or commodity) on which such securities or commodities shall have traded on such date were reported on the consolidated tape, the “bid” price for long positions and “asked” price for short positions on the consolidated tape (or, if the date of determination is not a date upon which such securities or commodities exchange was open for trading, on the last prior date on which such a securities or commodities exchange was so open not more than 10 days prior to the date of determination);

(f) Securities and commodities that are not listed on an exchange but are traded over-the-counter shall be valued at representative “bid” quotations if held long and representative “asked” quotations if held short;

(g) For securities and commodities not listed on a securities or commodities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter market, but for which there are available quotations, such valuation will be based upon quotations obtained from market makers, dealers or pricing services;

(h) Options that are listed on a securities or commodities exchange shall be valued at their last sales prices on the date of determination on the largest securities or commodities exchange (by trading volume) on which such options shall have traded on such date; provided, that, if the last sales prices of such options do not fall between the last “bid” and “asked” prices for such options on such date, then the Asset Appraiser shall value such options at the mean between the last “bid” and “asked” prices for such options on such date;

(i) Illiquid assets will be valued at their high range of the fair market value (which in most cases may be at cost if that is a fair approximation of value), as determined by the Asset Appraiser (with appropriate input from Weston under the Portfolio Management Agreement between the Fund and Weston);

(j) Preferred shares, preferred stock or other senior equity securities shall be valued at 100% of their per share stated or liquidation value, with such discounts from such stated or liquidation value as Weston and ASSAC shall, in good faith determine from time to time;

(k) All other assets shall be valued at such value as the Asset Appraiser may reasonably determine (with appropriate input from Weston); and

(l) Securities and commodities not denominated in U.S. dollars shall be translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates as the Asset Appraiser may reasonably determine.

If the Asset Appraiser determines, in its sole discretion, that the valuation of any asset, security or other instrument pursuant to the foregoing does not fairly represent its market value, the Asset Appraiser (with appropriate input from the Weston and ASSAC) shall value such security or other instrument as it reasonably determines and shall set forth the basis of such valuation in writing to Weston and to ASSAC.
