AGREEMENT
     This Amended and Restated Warrant Clarification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 17,2007, is between Coconut Palm Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 595 South Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida, 33432 (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, with offices at 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004 (the “Warrant Agent”).
     WHEREAS, the Company and Warrant Agent are parties to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2005 (the “Warrant Agreement”) providing for the issuance of Warrants (as such term is defined therein);
     WHEREAS, as a result of certain questions that arose arisen regarding the accounting treatment applicable to the Warrants, the parties pursuant to a Warrant Clarification Agreement dated August 17, 2006 (the “Warrant Clarification Agreement”) deemed it necessary and desirable to amend the Warrant Agreement to clarify that the registered holders do not have the right, and did not have the right when the parties initially entered into the Warrant Agreement, to receive a net cash settlement in the event the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at the time such Warrants are exercisable; and
     WHEREAS, the parties deem it necessary and desirable to amend and restate the Warrant Clarification Agreement to make clear that the reference to the “effective registration” should have been to a “current prospectus”.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to amend the Warrant Agreement as set forth herein.
     1. Warrant Agreement. The undersigned hereby agree that the Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following last sentence to Section 3.3.2:
     “In no event will the registered holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive a net cash settlement or any other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, and therefore such Warrants may expire unexercised and without value, if the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not covered by a current prospectus.”
