WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Merger Agreement, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Merger Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto at any time by execution of a written instrument signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement and herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
1. Amendment of Merger Agreement. Section 3.2(d) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(d) The affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of Company Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, that are present (in person or by proxy) at the Company Shareholder Meeting at which at least two persons holding or representing by proxy more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power represented by the Company Ordinary Shares (the “Requisite Shareholder Approval”), in each case, in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the Statutory Merger Agreement, are the only votes or approvals of the holders of any class or series of share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary to approve this Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Merger.
