Trintech shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and without prejudice to the provisions of clause 5.5, be entitled to act otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without being in breach of this Agreement if the directors of Trintech consider in good faith, having received a Counsel’s Opinion, that compliance with this Agreement would give rise to a breach of their fiduciary duties, in which case Trintech shall notify the Offeror promptly of any such decision.

37. Subject to clause 8, I further hereby undertake (but subject to such undertaking not being inconsistent with my fiduciary duties as a director of the Company) that:

37.1. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Scheme, I shall recommend to all of the holders of Trintech Shares and holders of Trintech ADS that they should vote in favour of the Scheme and the Resolutions.

37.2. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, I shall recommend to all of the holders of Trintech Shares and holders of Trintech ADS that they accept the Takeover Offer.

37.3. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Scheme, I shall join in the making of a recommendation to be contained in a letter to the holders of Trintech Shares and holders of Trintech ADS recommending them to vote in favour of the Scheme and the Resolutions which shall be included in the Scheme Document.

37.4. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, I shall join in the making of a recommendation to be contained in a letter to the shareholders of the Company recommending them to accept the Takeover Offer which shall be included in the Offer Document.

37.5. I shall on the Scheme becoming effective in accordance with its terms (or upon completion of the Takeover Offer, as the case may be), join with the other directors of the Company in appointing any persons nominated by the Offeror to be directors of the Company (and its subsidiaries) and in approving alternate directors nominated by such newly appointed directors.

37.6. I shall exercise my powers as a director of the Company to procure that the Company has all necessary information and facilities as may be necessary for the preparation and despatch of the Scheme Document (or Offer Document, as the case may be), and other documentation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, press announcements) in connection with the Scheme (or Takeover Offer, as the case may be), all information required in connection with the Scheme (or the Takeover Offer, as the case may be) for the purposes of the Takeover Rules and for the purpose of compliance with the relevant requirements of the Court.

37.7. I shall take no action nor make any statement which is or may reasonably be expected to be prejudicial to the successful outcome of the Scheme (or the Takeover Offer, as the case may be).

37.8. I shall use my reasonable endeavours to convene (or participate in convening) such meetings of directors or members of the Company or any class thereof (if so requested by the Offeror acting reasonably) as may be necessary to pass such resolutions as may be necessary to enable the Scheme (or the Takeover Offer, as the case may be) to be implemented.

37.9. Save as may be required by the Scheme (or the Takeover Offer, as the case may be) or as may be required by the terms of the Option Schemes, I shall use my reasonable endeavours so far as I am reasonably able to procure that the Company shall not allot (except to the extent previously agreed in writing with me by the Offeror) or grant options over any shares in the capital of the Company nor issue any debt or other securities convertible into shares in the capital of the Company or agree to do any of the foregoing.

38. I recognise and acknowledge that if I should fail to vote in favour of the Scheme and the Resolutions (if the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Scheme) or fail to accept the Takeover Offer (if the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer), in each case in accordance with my obligations above or should otherwise be in breach of any of my obligations under this Deed, damages in the form of a liquidated sum would not be an adequate remedy and that an order for specific performance would be the only adequate remedy for such failure or breach.

39. I consent to the issue of a press announcement incorporating references to me and to this Deed substantially in the terms of the Draft Press Announcement. I understand and agree that in accordance with Rule 24.3 of the Takeover Rules that particulars of this undertaking may be contained in the Scheme Document (or the Offer Document, as the case may be) and that this undertaking will be available for inspection prior to and for the duration of the Shareholders’ Meeting and the Court Meeting.

40. I understand that the Takeover Rules require my interests in and dealings in securities in the Company and the Offeror in the past twelve months to be disclosed in the Scheme Document (or the Offer Document, as the case may be) and that, if the Draft Press Announcement is issued, this Deed will be made available for public inspection during the offer period (as defined in the Takeover Rules) and that particulars of it will be contained in the Scheme Document (or the Offer Document, as the case may be), and I warrant that the details of all my interests in and dealings in securities of the Company (including the grant and exercise of options and the Offeror in the twelve months prior to the date hereof contained in the Schedule) are true and accurate and that my interests are correctly described and the registered holders of the securities to which they relate as set out in the Schedule are true and accurate in all respects and that I am not acting in concert with any person for the purposes of Rule 9.1 of the Takeover Rules disregarding for this purpose any person giving an irrevocable undertaking to accept the Offer.

41. This Deed will cease to have any effect whatsoever:

41.1. if the Draft Press Announcement is not released by 1700 (Eastern Standard Time) on 15 October 2010 or such later time or date as the Offeror and the Company may in writing agree or the Scheme Document (or the Offer Document, as the case may be) is not posted within the timeframe required by the Takeover Rules or such later time or date as the Offeror and the Company may in writing agree with Panel consent (if required);

41.2. if prior to 1700 (Eastern Standard Time) on 15 October 2010 an announcement is made pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the Takeover Rules in respect of an offer (which may be effected by a takeover offer or a scheme of arrangement) made by any third party for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company (other than shares already held by such third party or its associates on the date such competing offer is made), and pursuant to the terms of such competing offer, I shall be entitled to receive or elect to receive consideration exceeding the consideration per Committed Share contained in the Definitive Bid (being at least US$6.60 per Trintech ADS);

41.3. if at any time an announcement is made pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the Takeover Rules in respect of an offer (which may be effected by a takeover offer or a scheme of arrangement) made by a Non-Participating Third Party for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company (other than shares already held by such Non-Participating Third Party or its associates on the date such competing offer is made) on or before the Court Meeting and pursuant to the terms of such Non-Participating Third Party competing offer, I shall be entitled to receive or elect to receive consideration exceeding the consideration per Committed Share contained in the Definitive Bid (being at least US$6.60 per Trintech ADS) and the Offeror does not make a definitive revised offer to the Company within 96 hours of such announcement which would provide equal or superior financial value to the holders of Trintech Shares and Trintech ADS in comparison to the Non-Participating Third Party competing offer;

41.4. if the Scheme is not implemented or lapses or is withdrawn or the Takeover Offer lapses or is withdrawn and no new, revised or replacement Scheme or Takeover Offer at a price per Trintech ADS equal to or higher than the price per Trintech ADS contained in the Definitive Bid is announced by the Offeror in accordance with the Takeover Rules at the same time or within 96 hours of the lapse or withdrawal;

41.5. if the Offeror announces, with the consent of any relevant authority (if required) and before the Scheme Document (or Offer Document, as the case may be) is posted, that it does not intend to proceed with the Scheme (or Takeover Offer, as the case may be) and no new, revised or replacement Scheme (or Takeover Offer, as the case may be) at a price per Trintech ADS equal to or higher than the price per Trintech ADS contained in the Definitive Bid is announced by the Offeror in accordance with the Takeover Rules at the same time or within 96 hours of the initial announcement;

41.6. if the Resolutions are not passed at the Shareholders’ Meeting or the Court Meeting, in circumstances where (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and (ii) I have complied in all material respects with the terms of this Deed.

42. I hereby acknowledge that I have not entered into this Deed relying on any statement or representation, whether or not made by the Offeror (or any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents) and that nothing in this Deed obliges the Offeror to despatch the Scheme Document (or Offer Document, as the case may be) in the event that it is not required to do so under the Takeover Rules or the Transaction Agreement.

43. Any time, date or period mentioned in this Deed may be extended by agreement between the parties but as regards any time, date or period originally fixed or so extended, time shall be of the essence.

44. The Offeror may assign all rights and obligations under this Deed to any other company under the same ultimate ownership as the Offeror with my consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

45. I agree that this Deed will be governed by and construed in accordance with Irish law and that the Irish courts are to have non-exclusive jurisdiction for all purposes in connection herewith.

IN WITNESS whereof this undertaking has been entered into as a Deed the day and year first herein written.
