relate to the obligations and rights of the parties to this Agreement regarding the Warrant
Exchange, such provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference; provided,

Combination Agreement enforceable against the parties thereto or their successors or
assigns.

Corporation), at the Exchange Effective Time, PRISA shall act as agent for the Company, its
successors and assigns for the Warrants, and PRISA agrees to perform in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. At such time as PRISA is appointed,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company shall have no further rights or obligations under
the Agreement, and the term “Warrant Agent,” as used in this Agreement, shall refer
exclusively to PRISA.”

benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their permitted
respective successors and assigns.
2.5 Severability. This Amendment shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
this Amendment or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid
or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part
of this Amendment a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may
be possible and be valid and enforceable.
2.6 Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Amendment
shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to

out of or relating in any way to this Amendment shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the
State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and
irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be
exclusive. Each of the parties hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and
that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
