      4.          
  Financing Documents.
Except as expressly amended or modified by this Third Forbearance Agreement, the

agreements set forth in this Third Forbearance Agreement.

      

      b.           New Event of Default. The occurrence
of any new Event of Default, or the occurrence of any event, which, with the
passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default, breach,
or event of default under the Financing Agreement.

      

      c.           False Representation. Any
representation or warranty by Client or Guarantors made hereunder is materially
false, incorrect, or misleading as of the date made.

      

      d.           Solvency. Client makes a general
appointment of a trustee, receiver, or other custodian for Client's property or
any part thereof, or in the absence of such application, consent, or
acquiescence, a trustee, receiver, or other custodian is appointed for Client or
its property or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Third
Forbearance Agreement.

      

      e.           Bankruptcy. Commencement of any case
under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code, or commencement
of any other bankruptcy arrangement, reorganization, liquidation, receivership,
custodianship, or similar proceeding under any federal, state, or foreign law by
or against either Client or Guarantors.

      

      f.           Repudiation of Third Forbearance
Agreement. Client or Guarantors take any
action to repudiate this Third Forbearance Agreement or this Third Forbearance
Agreement shall otherwise cease to be in full force and effect other than in
accordance with its terms.

of Forbearance. Any other lender or creditor, secured or unsecured,
initiates the exercise of remedies against Client, Guarantors, or their
affiliates to collect or enforce any obligation or indebtedness of such party,
or commences any collection or foreclosure action, or alleges in writing the
breach of any obligation of any Client, Guarantors, or their affiliates to such
lender or creditor.

      

      6.          
  Release and Waiver of
Claims. Client and Guarantors each hereby release and waive any and all
claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, and other
rights of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether or not

      7.         
   No Waiver of
Default. Execution and delivery of this Third Forbearance Agreement and
the actions contemplated herein, including, without limitation, the failure of
Summit to exercise any rights and remedies at this time, do not constitute a
waiver of the Existing Events of Default. Summit reserves the right to exercise,
upon termination of this forbearance as provided in Section 5, any and all of
its rights and remedies under the Financing Documents, at law, or in equity. Any
future re-occurrence of the Existing Events of Default or any other existing or
future event of default shall not be subject to or governed by this Third
Forbearance Agreement. No course of dealing or delay or failure to assert any
event of default shall constitute a waiver of the event of default or of any
prior or subsequent event of default. Client and Guarantors should not assume or
infer that Summit will waive any future event of default. Summit may, at any
time hereafter, regardless of any prior course of conduct or waiver, require
strict compliance with all terms and conditions of the Financing
Documents.

      

      8.           
 Default Under Third Forbearance
Agreement. Failure of Client and/or Guarantors to timely perform any
agreement or covenant provided herein or in the event any representation or
warranty by Client or Guarantors provided herein is materially false or
misleading, such event shall constitute a default under this Third Forbearance
Agreement and an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement.

      

      9.         
   Indemnification. Client and Guarantors
shall jointly and severally indemnify Summit for any and all claims and
liabilities, and for damages which may be awarded against or incurred by Summit,
and for all reasonable attorneys fees, legal expenses, and other out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in defending such claims, arising from or related in any
manner to the negotiation, execution, or performance by Summit of this Third
Forbearance Agreement or any of the agreements, documents, obligations, or
transactions contemplated by this Third Forbearance Agreement, but excluding any
such claims based upon breach or default by Summit or gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Summit.

      

      Summit
shall have the sole and complete control of the defense of any such claims.
Summit is hereby authorized to settle or otherwise compromise any such claims as
Summit in good faith determines shall be in its best interests.

      

      10.           Revival. If any payment of any money
to Summit by or on behalf of Client and/or Guarantors should for any reason
subsequently be determined to be "voidable" or "avoidable" in whole or in part
within the meaning of any state or federal law (collectively "voidable
transfers"), including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyances or
preferential transfers under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other
federal or state law, and Summit is required to repay or restore any voidable
transfers or the amount or any portion thereof, or upon the advice of counsel
for Summit is advised to do so, then, as to any such amount or property repaid
or restored, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses, and
attorneys fees of Summit related thereto, the liability of Client and Guarantors
shall automatically be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as
though the voidable transfers had never been made.

      

      11.           Authority. Each of the representatives
signing this Third Forbearance Agreement on behalf of Summit, Client, and
Guarantors, as the case may be, hereby represents and warrants that said
representative has the authority to execute and deliver this Third Forbearance
Agreement and that this Third Forbearance Agreement shall be valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms as to the company, if any, for whom
said representative has signed.

    THIS
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
January 13, 2010, is made by and among ASIA SPECIAL SITUATION ACQUISITION CORP.,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ASSAC”), and VICTORY PARK
CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC, on behalf of one or more entities for which it acts as
investment manager and other purchasers acceptable to Victory Park Capital
Advisors, LLC and ASSAC (collectively, “Victory Park”).

     

    WHEREAS,
ASSAC was organized for the purpose of acquiring control of one or more
unidentified operating businesses, through a capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, or other similar transaction, including obtaining a
majority interest through contractual arrangements (“Business
Combination”);

     

    WHEREAS,
ASSAC consummated an initial public offering in January 2008 (“IPO”) in connection with which
it raised gross proceeds of approximately $115 million, a significant portion of
which was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by
Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“Continental”) pending the
consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of
Buyer in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior
to January 23, 2010;

     

    WHEREAS,
Asia Special Situation has entered into acquisition agreements to acquire (i)
the assets and liabilities or equity interests of various pooled investment
vehicles managed by Stillwater Capital Partners, Inc.; (ii) an 81.5% controlling
interest in Amalphis Group, Inc.; (iii) the assets and investments held by
Wimbledon Financing Master Fund Ltd. and Wimbledon Real Estate Financing Fund
Ltd.; and (iv) all of the equity of Northstar Group Holdings, Ltd. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northstar Reinsurance, Ltd. and Northstar Reinsurance
Ireland Ltd. ((i)-(iv), collectively, the “Acquisitions”);
and

     

    WHEREAS,
the approval of the Acquisitions are contingent upon, among other things, the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of
ASSAC which are present and entitled to vote at the meeting called to approve
the Acquisition;

     

    WHEREAS,
pursuant to certain provisions in Buyer’s memorandum and articles of
association, a holder of Buyer’s ordinary shares issued in the IPO may, if it
votes against the Acquisitions, demand that Buyer convert such ordinary shares
into cash (“Conversion
Rights”);

     

    WHEREAS,
the Acquisitions cannot be consummated if holders of 35% or more of the ASSAC
ordinary shares issued in the IPO exercise their Conversion Rights.

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              Agreement to Make
      Purchases of ASSAC Ordinary Shares.  Victory Park agrees
      to use its reasonable best efforts to make privately negotiated purchases
      of up to approximately 7,475,000 ASSAC ordinary shares at purchase prices
      not to exceed $10.00 per share (at the discretion of ASSAC) on or prior to
      January 19, 2010, provided that ASSAC agrees to enter into the form of
      forward contract (“Forward Contract”)
      attached hereto as Annex A with
      the purchaser of such ordinary shares in connection therewith. Purchases
      by Victory Park shall not begin until ASSAC has publicly announced that it
      has entered into that certain Term Sheet dated January 11, 2010 and this
      Agreement.

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              Fees.  In
      addition, in exchange for its services in aggregating blocks of shares for
      purchase by Victory Park from ASSAC stockholders that have indicated an
      intention to convert their ASSAC ordinary shares and or vote against the
      Acquisitions, ASSAC shall pay to Victory Park on the earlier of (i) the
      Closing Date (as defined in the Forward Contract) or (ii) February 8,
      2010, a fee equal to 1.0% of the cost to Victory Park of all ASSAC
      ordinary shares purchased by Victory Park from third parties whether or
      not the Acquisitions are
consummated.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

            	
              Expenses. All
      costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, legal fees
      and expenses and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of third
      parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and
      effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
      transactions contemplated thereby, shall be the obligation of the
      respective party incurring such fees and expenses; provided that ASSAC
      shall pay up to $50,000 of the documented costs and expenses incurred by
      Victory Park in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement, it being understood that ASSAC has, prior to the date hereof,
      deposited $25,000 with Victory Park in furtherance of the
      foregoing.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.

            	
              Counterparts.  This
      Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
      an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
      instrument.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              5.

            	
              Governing Law;
      Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall for all purposes be
      deemed to be made under and shall be construed in accordance with the laws
      of the State of New York.  Each of the parties hereby agrees
      that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating
      in any way to this Agreement 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 and irrevocably waive
      trial by jury.
