  7. Offering Summary Current generation of SPACs are incorporating a number of structural changes that benefits investors and sellers of the business Old SPAC Structure New SPAC Structure SEC Proxy/ Tender Offer Document Review • SEC proxy review takes up to three to six months and can discourage sellers from pursuing a business combination with a SPAC • No shareholder vote. Shares may be redeemed through a tender offer. SEC approval of tender offer document is typically completed within 20 days of filing. SPACs utilizing tender offer structure can complete business combinations within a month of finalizing the terms of the deal • New generation of SPAC structures significantly reduces uncertainty of consummating a business combination and provides more attractive capital structure for target companies • SPACs provide Sponsors a smaller percentage (5-10%) of promote at business combination with remaining equity (totaling up to 20%) placed in escrow and released when stock price trades above certain benchmarks, providing downside protection to sellers • New generation of SPACs have exercise price equal or higher than trust value Dilution from Sponsor Promote & Warrants • Sponsor received a set 20% of fully diluted equity on consummating business combination, resulting in immediate dilution to sellers • Earlier SPAC structures had warrant exercise price below trust value ($7.50 exercise price for $10.00 unit), prompting Sponsors to immediately exercise warrants • SPAC IPO warrants were dilutive to sellers at the time of business combination • New generation of SPAC warrants have exercise price equal or greater than trust value • The structure is less dilutive to sellers and is akin to secondary offering at 10-15% premium to initial value Dilution from SPAC IPO Warrants

  25. Case Study - DJSP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:DJSP) Company • Headquartered in Plantation, Florida, DJSP is one of the largest providers of processing services for the mortgage and real estate industries in the United States. The Company provides non-legal services supporting residential real estate foreclosure, other related legal actions and lender owned real estate (“REO”) services, primarily in Florida • Although in the last 25 years foreclosures have experienced sustained growth of around 12% per year, the subprime mortgage crisis, coupled with a weak housing market, rising unemployment and the global recession contributed to record levels of foreclosures in 2007 and 2008 • The Company generated 2009 revenue of $260 million and EBITDA of $70 million Transaction • In July 2008, FlatWorld investment team led by Messrs. Gupta and Valenty signed a letter of intent to acquire a controlling interest in DJSP at an enterprise value of $208 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 3.1x 2008E EBITDA of $68 million – at a ~50% discount to the closest public comparable Dolan Media (NYSE:DM) then trading at ~6x EBITDA. The transaction was negotiated as a traditional private equity leveraged buyout with $60 million of total senior debt financing • The negative developments in the global capital markets, a continuing credit crisis and the regulatory uncertainty following the election of a new U.S. administration briefly interrupted FlatWorld’s effort in securing committed financing to fund the business combination through early 2009 • In April 2009, Messrs. Gupta and Valenty approached Chardan 2008 China Acquisition Corp. (“Chardan”), a NASDAQ-listed SPAC, to discuss a business combination with DJSP. In parallel, Messrs. Gupta and Valenty re-negotiated terms of the LOI to incorporate a going-public transaction with Chardan • In January 2010, FlatWorld’s affiliate DAL Group, LLC completed a business combination with Chardan and DJSP to become DJSP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:DJSP). The enterprise value of the transaction (at the Chardan trust value) was $244 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 3.0x 2010E EBITDA of $81 million

  26. Case Study - DJSP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:DJSP) Management Team’s Value-Add • Messrs. Gupta and Valenty’s creative deal structuring and flexibility with financing sources helped close the DJSP transaction successfully during the financial crisis and in a cyclical industry at its peak • Exposure to economic cycles and threat of regulatory intervention due to an increase in foreclosure volume prevented traditional equity and debt investors from financing foreclosure processing companies. Auctions for several large foreclosure processing firms, including Great Hill Partners’ portfolio company Prommis Solutions and the Law Offices of Gerry Shapiro (LOGS), failed in 2008 and 2009, respectively • Messrs. Gupta and Valenty structured and negotiated the transaction in a manner that optimized returns for SPAC IPO investors and the shareholder • Developed a detailed strategy for DJSP to grow counter-cyclical services lines and maintain continuous growth and profitability through economic cycles; Analyzed the impact of regulatory uncertainty and concluded that the loss mitigation business presented a natural hedge to any regulatory intervention • The enterprise value of the transaction (at the Chardan trust value) was $244 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 3.0x 2010E EBITDA of $81 million. The discount to the closest public comparable Dolan Media (NYSE:DM), trading at ~7x EBITDA at closing, provided significant immediate upside to investors leading to 99+% of SPAC IPO investors approving the business combination • The transaction provided liquidity to the selling shareholder David J. Stern while also providing David J. Stern with an opportunity to grow the Company into a non-cyclical mortgage processing firm organically and via acquisitions using public stock as acquisition currency

  27. Case Study – Lason Inc. Merger with HOV Services Company • Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, Lason provides document-centric business process outsourcing solutions to customers in healthcare, insurance, financial services, publishing, manufacturing, retail, commercial, transportation, and distribution sectors. The Company’s services include document imaging, document indexing, content management, accounts receivable and payable management, billing and other processing functions • The Company generated 2006 revenue of $153 million and EBITDA of $13 million Transaction & Management Team Value-Add • In Q4-2006, FlatWorld Capital found an undervalued business services asset – Lason, Inc. FlatWorld bid on the asset and by December 2006 was the lead bidder to acquire a controlling interest in Lason, Inc. at an enterprise value of $120 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 6.2x 2007E EBITDA. The public comparables in the business process outsourcing industry were then trading at a mean of 33x LTM EBITDA • In December 2006, Messrs. Gupta and Valenty approached HOV Services (a HOV Ventures company), a Bombay Stock Exchange-listed firm providing business process outsourcing solutions from India facilities, to discuss a merger with Lason • FlatWorld’s analysis showed that Lason could achieve substantial savings from the offshoring of certain processing functions. Further, Lason was currently providing low value-added document imaging and data entry solutions. The offshore potential could derive a huge competitive advantage in growing a high end BPO business due to less than 50% of U.S. delivery costs. Similar Indian offshore BPO vendors were growing at 40-100% per year • In February 2007, Messrs. Gupta and Valenty assisted HOV Ventures to create a Special Purpose Vehicle to acquire Lason for approximately $120 million • In March 2007, HOV Ventures merged the Lason Special Purpose Vehicle into HOV Services at a valuation of $148 million, a 23% premium to the original acquisition price in less than a month

  29. Previous Investment Track Record - Gilbert H. Lamphere

  30. Previous Investment Track Record - Gilbert H. Lamphere • Investment Date represents the date of the initial investment except in the case of Illinois Central, where it represents the date control was acquired • In cases where control was acquired in a single transaction, Transaction Value represents the cost of the investment, including investments made by affiliates and by unaffiliated parties, and long term debt incurred. In the case of Forschner, Recognition International, Lincoln Snack, Curtis Industries, Noel’s investment in Sylvan, and all Strategic Block investments, Transaction Value includes the cost of Prospect or Noel’s investment only. Transaction Value and the rate of return calculations exclude transaction expenses • Invested Amount (or “Investment”) is the cost of the entire investment including common and preferred equity and debt. In those cases where management of Prospect, Noel or Fremont did not invest on a pari passu basis in the other securities purchased, Investment includes the cost of the equity purchased by management. The cost of the investment excludes transaction expenses. The rates of return are calculated based upon the entire Investment and, accordingly, give effect to related common and preferred stock dividends and debt interest • Percent Equity Held is based on the highest Prospect, Noel, or Fremont common equity ownership during the Investment Period as calculated using the number of common shares owned divided by the total number of common shares issued and outstanding at the time of such highest equity ownership • Leverage Ratio is calculated only in cases where an operating company was acquired in a single transaction. Leverage Ratio is third party debt incurred in connection with the transaction divided by Transaction Value. Third party debt excludes debt held by common and/or preferred stock investors • Realized Value includes all cash proceeds including common and preferred stock dividends, debt principal and interest payments, redemptions of preferred stock and proceeds from Investment sales. It also includes the end of the Valuation Period market value of common stock distributed to Prospect or Noel’s shareholders within the Valuation Period and, in the case of Illinois Central, common stock dividends on such distributed shares. In the case of Kerr Group, Inc. (“Kerr”) and Sun Coast Industries (“Sun Coast”), which remain privately-held portfolio companies of Fremont subject to confidentiality agreements, this information cannot be disclosed and accordingly Kerr and Sun Coast are excluded from the Realized Value • Total Value is the Realized Value plus the estimated unrealized value of the investments still controlled by Prospect or Noel management at the end of the Valuation Period. In cases where a public market existed for common stock, the Total Value is calculated at the closing market price at the end of the Valuation Period multiplied by the number of shares held. In these cases, the Total Value has not been adjusted for whether the shares held were registered for sale, had any other restriction on transfer, or whether the market had sufficient liquidity to support the sale of the volume of securities held at the quoted prices. Where a public market did not exist, management has estimated the Total Value. In the case of Kerr and Sun Coast (acquired as a subsidiary of Kerr Group, Inc.), which remain privately-held portfolio companies of Fremont subject to confidentiality agreements, valuations cannot be disclosed and accordingly Kerr and Sun Coast are excluded from the Total Value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of securities both where a market exists and where a market does not exist, the estimates of value may differ materially from the prices that could have been realized in actual third party cash transactions at the end of the Valuation Period and from actual sales proceeds or distribution amounts received. At December 31, 1995, Noel’s investments in Lincoln Snack and HealthPlan Services consisted entirely of investments in common stock. Noel’s unrealized investment in Carlyle consisted of preferred stock and accrued dividends for which no public market existed, valued at $18.0 million, and shares of unregistered or restricted common stock, valued at $8.7 million based on the closing market price of traded shares • Valuation Period is the shorter of (i) 60 months from the Investment Date or (ii) the period from the Investment Date to the date the Investment was sold or (iii) in the case of unrealized Noel investments, 12/31/95, approximately one year following Mr. Lamphere’s departure • For each investment, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the Internal Rate of Return of the cash flows included in Total Value. The IRR effectively assumes that the common and preferred stock values included in Total Value are equivalent to cash flows. The IRRs for all the Investments listed in this summary were calculated using the Investment and Total Value data and assuming that the first cash flow for each Investment was made at the same time. Each subsequent cash flow or value was included in the calculation on the basis of its timing relative to the assumed initial investment time. As a result these IRRs do not represent returns attributable to any actual period or periods. IRR calculations exclude transaction expenses. Given that an estimate value for Kerr and Sun Coast cannot be disclosed, these two investments have been excluded from the IRR calculations • Kerr and Sun Coast remain subject to confidentiality agreements and accordingly no information is presented for Realized Value, Total Value, Total Value Multiple of Investment, and IRR • Given that an estimated value for Kerr cannot be disclosed, Kerr and Sun Coast have been excluded from Total Value. As a consequence, Total Value Multiple of Investment also excludes the value of Kerr and Sun Coast in both the numerator and the denominator
