4.3 Modifications of the Note: 

(a) The “Maturity Date” as defined in the paragraph of the Note entitled “MATURITY DATE” is hereby amended by replacing
“March 13, 2022” with “March 13, 2024.” 
 (b) The paragraph of the Note entitled “INTEREST RATE” and the
paragraph immediately following such paragraph are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: 
 “INTEREST RATE.
Except as provided in Section 4 below, the principal balance outstanding hereunder from time to time shall bear interest at the Note Rate. The Note Rate shall be equal to the greater of: (i) Ameribor Rate plus three
and one-quarter percent (3.25%), which interest rate shall change when and as the Ameribor Rate changes; or (ii) five percent (5.00%) per annum (the “Floor”). “Ameribor
Rate” means the 30 day American Interbank Offered Rate Term-30 Index (“Ameribor”) which is published for loans in United States Dollars by the American Financial Exchange and is
obtained by Lender from Bloomberg Financial Services Systems with the code AMBOR30T (or, if no longer available, any similar or successor publication selected by Lender). The Ameribor Rate shall initially be determined on the date of this Note and
shall thereafter be adjusted monthly on the first day of each calendar month to be the Ameribor determined by Lender to be in effect on such date. If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that either of
the following has occurred: (i) Ameribor ceases to exist or is no longer available; or (ii) a public announcement by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of Ameribor, or a determination made by Lender, that Ameribor is no longer
representative, then commencing on the next reset date, the interest rate hereunder shall be replaced with such alternate base rate and spread (collectively, “Benchmark Replacement”) as Lender determines in its sole discretion to be
most comparable to the then-current interest rate. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to this paragraph would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Note and the
other Loan Documents. 

  
 4 

 In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the
right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes, such as changes to the
definitions of “Business Day,” “Interest Period,” or timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, that Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark
Replacement and to permit the administration thereof in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if Lender determines
that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as Lender decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Note and the other Loan
Documents).” 
 (c) The second, third and fourth paragraphs of the section of the Note entitled “PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYMENTS” are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: 
 “In the event the Loan is converted to the Term Loan
pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement, then: 
 (a) Commencing on April 1, 2024, and continuing on the same day of each
and every calendar month thereafter until the Maturity Date (as extended pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement), Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly installment payments of principal and interest in an amount sufficient to fully
amortize the outstanding principal balance of this Note over a one hundred twenty (120) month period (measured for a 120 month period commencing as of the Conversion Date), with interest calculated using the Note Rate; and 

  
 5 

 (b) In addition to the monthly installment payments of principal and interest, as set forth
in clause (a) above, commencing on June 1, 2024, and continuing on the last day of each March, June, September and December, Borrower shall pay to Lender quarterly installment payments of principal, each in an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the Conversion Date.” 
 5.
Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any other conditions that may be imposed upon Borrower by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, this Agreement shall be effective only upon satisfaction of the following: 

(a) There shall be no Event of Default by Borrower or Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents. 

(b) Borrower and Guarantor shall sign and deliver to Lender this Agreement and such other documents and instruments as Lender shall reasonably
require to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. 
 (c) Borrower shall pay to Lender a fully earned and
non-refundable origination fee equal to Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). 
 (d)
Payment of any actual, out-of-pocket fees and costs of Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, administration and execution of this Agreement including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other costs and fees of other professionals retained by Lender. 
 6. Effect of Modification; No
Novation. The Loan Documents are amended and modified as set forth in this Agreement. To the extent not expressly modified herein, all other terms of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower hereby expressly agrees
to be bound thereby. The terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and the indebtedness evidenced thereby, are and will remain in full force and effect, as modified by this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not constitute a novation. All such
indebtedness shall continue to be secured by, among other things, the Loan Agreement (as the same may be modified or amended herein and from time to time). 

7. Borrower’s Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that: (a) Borrower is a limited liability company,
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in good standing, and that Borrower has the full power and authority to make the agreements contained herein without the joinder or consent of any other party; (b) that the person
or persons signing this Agreement and all other documents related hereto, on behalf of Borrower has full authority to bind Borrower; and (c) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and of the other documents related hereto
will not contravene or constitute a default under any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, indenture or other agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property is bound. 

  
 6 

 8. Release, Settlement, Compromise, and Waiver of Other Claims. In consideration of the modification
of the Loan Documents as herein provided, Borrower hereby compromises, releases, waives, relinquishes, and forever discharges Lender, as well as Lender’s successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and
representatives, of and from any and all claims, demands, statutory and common law actions and causes of action of any and every kind or character, whether known or unknown, which Borrower may have against such persons or entities, arising out of or
with respect to any and all transactions relating to the Loan Documents occurring prior to the date hereof, including any loss, cost or damage, of any kind or character, arising out of or in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the
acts, actions or omissions of such persons or entities, including but not limited to any breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any duty of fair dealing, breach of confidence, breach of funding commitment, undue influence, duress, economic coercion,
conflict of interest, negligence, bad faith, malpractice, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, intentional or negligent infliction of mental distress, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortious
interference with corporate governance or prospective business advantage, breach of contract, deceptive trade practices, libel, slander, or conspiracy, but in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, permitted assigns
and representatives. 
 10. Accuracy of Information. All written information provided by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender in furtherance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in or accompanying any loan application, financial statement, certificate, or other documents, and all other written information delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor in connection with
this Agreement is correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of such information, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no omissions in any of the information that result in such information being materially incomplete,
incorrect, or misleading as of the date of such information. All financial statements (other than projections) where prepared in accordance with GAAP and accurately present the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor. 

11. Ratification. Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms all of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and all of its respective agreements,
obligations, promises and waivers as made and agreed and contained therein, as modified by this Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. 

12. No Impairment of Lien; No Satisfaction. Nothing set forth herein shall affect the priority or extent of the lien of the Loan Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, nor, except as expressly set forth herein, release or change the liability of any party who may now be, or after the Modification Effective Date may become, liable, primarily or secondarily, under the Loan Documents. This
Agreement does not, and shall not be deemed or construed to, constitute the creation of new indebtedness or the satisfaction, discharge or extinguishment of the debt secured by the Loan Documents. 

13. Choice of Law/Venue. This Agreement shall be construed, governed by and venue shall be elected according to the laws and venue set forth in the Loan
Documents. 
 14. Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with and only to the extent permitted by applicable law. If
any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. 

  
 7

taken together shall be deemed an original constituting one and the same document. 
 19. No Fiduciary Relationship. Borrower agrees that Lender has
no fiduciary or similar obligations to Borrower and that their relationship is strictly that of creditor and debtor. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership,

20. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to this Agreement and each and every provision hereof. 

21. Supremacy Clause. It is hereby agreed that the terms and conditions of the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended,

conditions, rights or remedies in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than this Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail and control in each instance. A default under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the other Loan Documents.

		3	GRANT OF AWARDS

 

3.1  Subject
to Section 3.2, the Employing Company may grant an Award to an Eligible Employee based on the determinations of the Executive Board
pursuant to Section 3.4 and subject to the Plan Rules. Participants will receive a Grant Letter from the Employing Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Participants will receive their Grant Letter from the Company in case this is necessary or appropriate in order to meet
country-specific requirements, in particular regarding any registration procedures or any other reasons.

 

3.2  For
the Hasso Plattner Founders’ Award, Eligible Employees of participating Group Companies receive their Grant Letter from the Company.

 

3.3  An
Award may only be granted outside of a Closed Period.

 

3.4  The
Executive Board will determine the Participants to be granted an Award, based on recommendations provided by the relevant Employing Company,
and the terms of the Award including:

 

i)
the number of RSUs/PSUs (which may include Fractional RSUs/PSUs) to which the Award relates at the Grant Date and the Cash Value of the
Award at the Grant Date and; ii) the Market Value used to determine such number of RSUs/PSUs;

 

iii)
the Vesting Schedule in accordance with Section 4; iv) the Performance Criteria, where applicable, in accordance with
Section 5; and (v) whether the Award should be settled in cash in accordance with Section 8A, and as soon as
practicable after the Grant Date, each Participant will be issued a Grant Letter setting out the key terms of their Award. Eligible
Employees who do not wish to accept the Award will have four (4) weeks starting with the receipt of the Grant Letter to reject
the Award; if a rejection is not registered within the four-week time period, the Award will be deemed to have been accepted. If a

		4	VESTING SCHEDULE

 

The
Executive Board will determine the Vesting Schedule that applies to an Award provided that any Vesting Date must be at least six (6) months
after the Grant Date, such that an Award will Vest:

 

4.1  in
respect of all RSUs/PSUs to which it relates on a single Vesting Date (“Cliff Vesting”); or

 

4.2  in
respect of a certain number of RSUs/PSUs or percentage of the Award to which it relates on a number of Vesting Dates in such proportions
and at such frequency as determined by the Executive Board (“Tranche Vesting”).

 

		5	PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

 

5.1  In
case the Award is subject to one or more Performance Criteria, the number of PSUs under the Award on the Grant Date can vary from the
number of PSUs at Vesting subject to the fulfilment and/or level of achievement of the Performance Criteria. The fulfilment and/or level
of achievement of the Performance Criteria will be determined by the Executive Board at the end of the defined Performance Period.

 

5.2  The
number of PSUs at Vesting for performance-based Awards will be calculated based on the fulfilment and/or level of achievement of the Performance
Criteria and rounded down to the nearest four decimal places.

MOVE SAP

 

5.3  The
method of calculation of the PSUs at Vesting for performance-based Awards will be set out in the Grant Letter and where the calculation
produces fractional entitlements, Fractional PSUs will be included.

 

		6	RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

 

6.1  An
Award cannot be transferred, assigned, charged or otherwise disposed of in any way (except in the event of the Participant’s death,
subject to Section 6.2 below).

 

6.2  In
the case of a Participant’s death, the Award will pass to the Participant’s heirs or legatees and will Vest in full at
the next possible quarterly Vesting Date following the date of death. Following Vesting, any Shares due will be transferred to the Participant’s
heirs or legatees in accordance with Section 8, subject to Section 8A. Where Section 8A is applicable, any cash
payment due will be calculated and paid in accordance with Section 8A, provided that at the free election of the Employing
Company, the payment will either be transferred to the Participant’s last known salary account or held in trust until the end
of applicable statute of limitation period.

 

		7	VESTING

MOVE SAP

 

8.3 A Participant
may dispose of their Fractional Shares by requesting a cash payment equal in value to any Fractional Shares held on the Participant’s
behalf by the Plan Administrator. Such payment will be made to the Participant within 90 days of receipt of the request.

 

		8A	CASH EQUIVALENT

 

8A.1 At
any time prior to or on the Vesting Date, the Executive Board may determine that the Award will not be settled in Shares, but the Participant
will instead receive a cash amount equal in value to the number of RSUs/PSUs (including Fractional RSUs/PSUs) in respect of which the
Award vests.

 

8A.2 Where Section 8A.1
applies the cash amount payable to a Participant in respect of a Vested Award will be calculated by multiplying the Market Value of a
Share at the Vesting Date by the number of RSUs/PSUs in respect of which the Award Vests. Where the calculation produces fractional entitlements,
the Award will be treated as Vesting over Fractional RSUs/PSUs.

 

8A.3 Payments
will be made to Participants in the same currency in which they receive salary (“Local Currency”). Where the Local
Currency is not Euros, the Euro amount calculated pursuant to Section 8A.2 will be converted to Local Currency using the European
Central Bank Euro foreign exchange reference rate on the Vesting Date. If there is no foreign exchange reference rate available on the
Vesting Date, the last available exchange rate shall be used.

 

8A.4 The
amount calculated in accordance with Section 8A.2 will be paid by the relevant Employing Company in the next possible payroll run
after Vesting, and by no later than the month following the Vesting Date. All payments hereunder will be subject to the deduction of any
applicable Tax Liability in accordance with Section 8B.

		8B	TAXATION AND REGULATORY ISSUES

 

8B.1 A Participant will be
responsible for and indemnifies each relevant Group Company against any Tax Liability relating to his Award. Any Group Company, or
the Plan Administrator (on behalf of a Group Company) may withhold an amount equal to such Tax Liability from payments to be made
under the Plan and/or from any other amounts due to the Participant (to the extent such withholding is lawful) and/or will make any
other arrangements as it considers – in its own discretion - appropriate to ensure recovery of such Tax Liability including,
without limitation, the sale of a sufficient number of the Participant ́s Shares to realise an amount to settle the Tax
Liability as determined by the relevant Group Company or the Plan Administrator (on behalf of a Group Company). Participants will
also be responsible for all taxes and social security liabilities which they are obliged to account for directly to any tax
authority in any jurisdiction in connection with the Plan.

 

8B.2 The
Company and the Participants are obliged to comply with any applicable laws and regulations on insider dealing and any Company insider
policies.

 

		9	CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT

 

9.1 If
a Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Company, his Vested Awards will not be affected, and other than in the case of death
(Section 6.2), his Unvested Awards will be treated in accordance with Section 9.

 

9.2 If
a Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Company due to (i) operational reasons (meaning reasons related to the relevant
Employing Company’s business operations, regardless of the Participant’s individual performance); (ii) retirement;
or (iii) permanent disability, his Unvested Awards will be accelerated and Vest in full at the next possible quarterly Vesting
Date after the date of cessation of employment and the number of Shares in respect of which the Award Vests will be calculated and
such Shares shall be issued or transferred (as applicable) to the Participant in accordance with Section 8 or, if
Section 8A applies, a cash payment will be made to the Participant. In case of a performance-based Award, if a Participant
ceases to be employed before completion of the relevant Performance Period, the number of PSUs subject to accelerated Vesting
pursuant to this Section 9.2 will be calculated based on the level of achievement of the Performance Criteria at
100%.

9.3  If
a Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Company due to (i) termination by the Employing Company; or
(ii) termination by the Participant; or (iii) by mutual agreement due to reasons other than urgent business
operation requirements; or (iv) by expiration of a limited contract; or (v) during a probationary period defined per law
or employment contract, provided that termination does not fall under reasons set forth in Section 9.2, his Unvested Awards
will forfeit upon expiry of the date of cessation of employment.

 

9.4 If
a Participant has acquired Shares following Vesting of an Award and thereafter ceases to be employed by any Group Member (including
in circumstances where a Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company) such Participant must sell all of
his Shares (including Fractional Shares) or transfer such Shares to a personal brokerage account within 3 months after cessation of
employment.

 

9.5 For
the purposes of the Plan, no Participant shall be treated as ceasing to hold employment with a Group Company until that Participant
no longer holds:

 

9.5.1
an office or employment with any Group Company; or

 

9.5.2
a right to return to work,

 

and provided that
termination of employment with one Group Company followed by immediate employment by another Group Company shall not constitute cessation
of employment.

 

		10	TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF PARTICIPANTS WITHIN THE GROUP

 

10.1 If before the expiry
of the Vesting Schedule applicable to an Award a Participant’s employment transfers from one Group Company to another Group
Company, any obligation to make any payments due under the Plan shall be split between the relevant Group Companies. The split shall
be pro-rata to the period of time for which the Participant was employed by or working for each of the Group Companies concerned
during the Vesting Schedule or, in the case of Tranche Vesting, the relevant part of the Vesting Schedule. If a Participant works
temporarily for a Group Company that is not his employer, the obligation to make any payments due under the Plan shall remain with
the employing Company.

 

 10.2 Section 8B shall apply mutatis mutandis with regards to each of the relevant Group Companies.

                                                            Successor) and Unvested Awards shall not Vest and shall be assumed by the Successor or substituted with an equivalent award with

consummation of such Divestiture had the Unvested Award been vested or earned immediately prior to such Divestiture, and other
appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and conditions of the Unvested Award. If a Participant’s Unvested Awards
are assumed in the context of a Divestiture and their employment is subsequently terminated by the Successor in connection with or
within twelve (12) months following the Divestiture for any reason other than termination for cause, all of the Participant’s
Awards granted prior to the date of the Divestiture that are in effect as of the date of such termination (whether assumed or
substituted by the Successor) shall be Vested in full (assuming the Performance Criteria or any other conditions provided under such
Award were met, if applicable) effective on the date of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive Board has the
discretion to determine the treatment of Unvested Awards upon a Divestiture and need not treat all Unvested Awards in the same
manner.
