hereby agree as follows:
AMENDMENTS
1. The parties hereto agree to amend the Voting Agreement to delete the eighth “WHEREAS”
clause in its entirety, and in its stead, insert the following, so that the same shall read as
follows:
“WHEREAS, in conjunction with and following the Business Combination, the Company plans to
dissolve and liquidate with all of the common stock of the Buyer being distributed to the Company’s
shareholders at a ratio of one-to-one based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock held
by such shareholders (the “Dissolution”).
2. The parties hereto agree to amend the Voting Agreement to delete the ninth “WHEREAS” clause
in its entirety, and in its stead, insert the following, so that the same shall read as follows:
“WHEREAS, the Shareholders intend that this Voting Agreement apply to the Company before and
until the time of the Dissolution and thereafter apply to Buyer;
3. The parties hereto agree to amend the tenth “WHEREAS” clause by deleting the word “Merger”
in the first line thereof, and in its stead inserting the word “Dissolution.”
4. The parties hereto agree to amend the Voting Agreement to amend Section 1(a). thereof by
deleting the word “Merger” in the fifth line thereof, and in it stead inserting the word
“Dissolution.”
5. The parties hereby agree to amend Sections 10(c) and Section 10(d) by deleting the word
“Merger” wherever it appears in these subsection, and in its stead inserting the word
“dissolution.”
MISCELLANEOUS
1. The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that other than as amended herein, the Voting
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to evidence, guarantee and
support their respective obligations.
2. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of any provision herein or failure
by any party hereto to comply with and perform any of the agreements contained herein shall
constitute a breach under the Voting Agreement.
3. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument. All such counterparts may be delivered among the
parties hereto by facsimile or other electronic transmission, which shall not affect the validity
thereof.
4. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof). Any dispute
regarding this Amendment shall be exclusively referred to arbitration in London and conducted in
accordance with Arbitration Act 1996 (England and Wales) or any statutory modification or
re-enactment thereof, and the parties agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of such arbitrators. Any and all disputes hereunder shall be referred by the parties
hereto to three arbitrators, each party to appoint one arbitrator and the two so appointed shall
appoint the third who shall and as chairman of such panel of arbitrators. Upon receipt by one
party of the nomination in writing of such other party’s arbitrator, that party shall appoint its
arbitrator within ten days, failing which the decision of the single arbitrator appointed shall
apply. The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator within ten days, failing
which the single arbitrator shall act as sole arbitrator and any decision of the sole arbitrator
shall be binding on both parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the terms
of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (“LMAA”) then in effect. The parties agree that any
tribunal constituted under this Amendment shall have the power to order consolidation of
proceedings or concurrent hearings in relation to any and all disputes arising out of or in
connection with this Amendment or the other Transaction Documents, which involve common questions
of fact or law, and to make any orders ancillary to the same, including, without limitation, any
orders relating to the procedures to be followed by the parties in any such consolidated
proceedings or concurrent hearings. Consolidated disputes are to be heard by a maximum of three
arbitrators, each party to have the right to appoint one arbitrator. In case a dispute arises as to
whether consolidation is appropriate (including without limitation conflicting orders of relevant
tribunals) and/or as to the constitution of the tribunal for any such consolidated proceedings,
each party shall have the right to apply to the President for the time being of the LMAA for final
determination of the consolidation of the proceedings and/or constitution of such tribunal. For
purposes of this Amendment, the Company, shall be deemed to be one party, the Investors shall be
deemed to be one party, and the Inside Shareholder shall be deemed to be one party.
5. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the
Master Agreement.
