Ltd. listed on Schedule 1(A) hereto (the "OTHER SHAREHOLDER"). NOTE: "GROUP" OR "GROUP COMPANIES" MEANS THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARY FROM TIME TO TIME AND "GROUP COMPANY" MEANS ANY OF THEM 1.2 WHEREAS: (A) Comtech currently owns 60% of the Company and the Others Shareholder owns 40%, subject to provisions as set forth in the agreement.

NOTE (2): ALSO, COMTECH MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO FINANCE THE BUSINESS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF COMTECH. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER: RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL & PRIORITY CO-SALE RIGHT 3.1 Other Shareholder hereby severally, irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes with Comtech that he shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or create any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, third party rights or security interest whatsoever on or over or in respect of all or any of the shares in the Company (or any interest therein) without the prior written approval of Comtech. 3.2 (a) Subject to Clause 3.1, if Other Shareholder (the "TRANSFERRING SHAREHOLDER") proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any Shares (the "STOCK") or any interest therein to any person or entity then the other holders of any Stock at the time (the "NON-TRANSFERRING SHAREHOLDERS") shall have a right of first refusal (the "RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL") to purchase some or all of the Stock proposed to be sold. The Transferring Shareholder shall give a written notice (the "TRANSFER NOTICE") to the Non-transferring Shareholders describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Stock proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed transferee, 5 and whether the Company has exercised its right of first refusal, if any, with respect to that Stock. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Transferring Shareholder and by the proposed transferee, and shall constitute a binding commitment of both parties for the transfer of that Stock. Each Non-transferring Shareholder shall then have the right to purchase the ratio of (a) the total number of Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents of a Non-transferring Shareholder to (b) the total number of Common Shares and Common Share Equivalents held by all Non-transferring Shareholders (its "PRO RATA SHARE") of the Stock subject to the Transfer Notice at a price per share equal to the proposed per share transfer price, and on the same terms and conditions applicable to the proposed transfer, by delivery of a notice of exercise of its Right of First Refusal within 20 days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Non-transferring Shareholder. To the extent the Non-transferring Shareholders exercise their Right of First Refusal in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Clause 3, the number of Shares that the Transferring Shareholder may sell to the proposed transferee in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. 3.3 If the Transferring Shareholder proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any Stock or any interest therein to any person or entity, including another Shareholder, and not all Non-transferring Shareholders have elected to exercise their Right of First Refusal under Clause 3.2, then each Non-transferring Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within 20 days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Non-transferring Shareholders, to participate in the sale of Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Shareholder to the extent of that Non-transferring Shareholder's Pro-rata Share (the "CO-SALE Right"). Notice of exercise of a Co-Sale Right shall indicate the number of Shares the Non-transferring Shareholder wishes to sell under its Co-Sale Right. Any Non-transferring Shareholder may elect to sell all or some of the shares of Stock then held by that Non-transferring Shareholder (or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any convertible debt, warrants, or similar securities then held by the Non-transferring Shareholders). To the extent the Non-transferring Shareholders exercise their Co-Sale Right in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Clause 3.3, the number of Shares that the Transferring Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. 6 3.4 If the Non-transferring Shareholders do not exercise their Right of First Refusal or their Co-Sale Right with respect to the sale of the Stock subject to the Transfer Notice, the Transferring Shareholder may, not later than 60 days following delivery to the Company and the Non-transferring Shareholders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a transfer of all of the Stock covered by the Transfer Notice on terms and conditions not more favourable to the transferor than those described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions more favourable than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any Stock by the Transferring Shareholder, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Right of the Non-transferring Shareholders and shall require compliance by the Transferring Shareholder with the procedures described in this Clause 3. 3.5 Notwithstanding the above, Comtech may transfer all or any of their Shares to their Affiliates provided always that the transferee shall agree in writing with the Company (for itself and as trustee for all the Shareholders), as a condition to such transfer, to be bound by all of the provisions of any shareholders agreement relating to the Company then subsisting to the same extent as if such transferee were the transferor Shareholder. 3.6 Any sale, assignment, transfer or disposal of Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents not permitted by or in accordance with this Agreement or the Articles shall be null and void. 4. PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS 4.1 If the Company desires to issue Common Shares and/or Common Shares Equivalents in a transaction or series of transactions intended to raise capital ("FUND RAISING ISSUANCE") for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then the Shareholders shall procure that the Company shall first notify Comtech of the terms and conditions of such proposed issue and shall permit Comtech (without obligation) to subscribe (on such terms and subject to such conditions) up to the fraction of such securities being offered equal to (a) the number of Common Shares owned by Comtech plus the aggregate number of Common Shares then issuable converted into and/or exchanged for Common Shares, divided by (b) the aggregate number of Common Shares then outstanding plus the aggregate number of Common Shares then issuable were all of the Company's outstanding Common Shares Equivalents converted into and/or exchanged for Common Shares. 7 4.2 For the avoidance of doubt, "Fund Raising Issuance" for the purpose of Sub-clause 4.1 excludes any issuance of Common Shares and/or Common Shares Equivalents: (a) to employees of Group Companies pursuant to purchase or share option plans approved by the Board, which shall not exceed 20 per cent of all shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis immediately subsequent to the completion of the financing contemplated hereby; or (b) in a Qualifying IPO. 4.3 Comtech shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such notice referred to in Clause 4.1 (or such longer period as the Company may specify) to irrevocably elect by notice to the Company in writing whether to subscribe for such securities on such terms. After this period has expired, the Company shall have up to ninety (90) days to complete the issuance of any securities not subscribed by Comtech; provided however, that if during such 90 day period, the Company desires to offer such securities on terms or conditions that are more favourable to the Stock hold by Comtech thereof in any material respect, it shall first re-offer such securities to Comtech pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Clause 4. 5.
