Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

RECITALS

A.    Prior to Parent transferring a portion of the Estimated Net Adjusted Merger Consideration to fund the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount, the Contributing Stockholders will have contributed the Contributed Company Stock in exchange for Parent TopCo Common Stock.

B.    The Parties have agreed to amend Section 2.04(b) of the Merger Agreement to clarify the Parties’ agreement and understanding that the Contributing Stockholders will not be entitled to receive their Common Pre-Contribution Proportionate Share of the amounts returned to the Stockholders from the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount as Additional Consideration.

C.    Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors, as the Plan Administrator (as defined in the Inventive Plan), has the full power, authority and discretion to permit any Option Holder to pay the Option Exercise Payment Amount by delivering a full recourse, interest bearing promissory note secured by the Company Common Stock acquired pursuant to the applicable Company Stock Option exercise.

D.    The Parties have agreed to amend Section 6.12(b) of the Merger Agreement to clarify that the payment of the Option Exercise Payment Amount will occur through a promissory note as contemplated by Section 5.1 of the Incentive Plan.

E.    The Company and Parent have determined that certain provisions within each of the contracts set forth on Schedule 7.02(h)(xv) of the Merger Agreement (the “2018 Asahi Contracts”) have expired by their terms and therefore the right of termination of Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. (“Asahi”) upon a merger, acquisition of, business transfer or other similar changes in the controlling shareholders of Boa Technology, Inc. has also expired and, as a result, Asahi’s consent to, or waiver of the right to terminate upon the consummation of, the Merger is not required.

F.    The Company and Parent have determined that the Joint Development Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2019, by and between Asahi and Boa Technology, Inc. (the “2019 Asahi Contract”), has not expired by its terms and that Asahi’s consent right set forth therein is triggered by the Contemplated Transactions.

G.    The Parties desire to amend and restate Schedule 7.02(h)(xv) of the Merger Agreement to delete the 2018 Asahi Contracts and add the 2019 Asahi Contract.
