RESOLUTION TO ADOPT AMENDMENT TO THE
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
As Restated Effective July 1, 2020

WHEREAS effective July 1, 2020 the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“Employer”) adopted a new plan document for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh Defined Contribution Plan (“the Plan”);

WHEREAS the Plan document in effect prior to July 1, 2020 excluded overtime compensation from the definition of “Plan Salary,” which is used to determine the amount of Employer and employee contributions to the Plan; and

WHEREAS when the Plan was converted from the prior Plan document to the new Plan document the scrivener failed to mark item (g) in Section 5, Paragraph 5-3 of the Plan document to exclude overtime payments from the definition of Plan Compensation; and

WHEREAS the Plan sponsor intended to continue to exclude overtime compensation from the definition of Plan Compensation; and

WHEREAS the Plan sponsor has continued to administer the Plan to exclude overtime compensation from Plan Compensation; and

WHEREAS Rev. Proc. 2019-19, Section 4.05 authorizes retroactive amendments to a plan document to conform the terms of the plan to the plan’s prior operations with approval of the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the Voluntary Compliance Program (“VCP”) of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (“EPCRS”); and

WHEREAS the Employer has submitted a VCP application to the IRS to retroactively amend the Plan to exclude overtime compensation from Plan Compensation, effective July 1, 2020; and

WHEREAS the IRS has approved that application through issuance of a Compliance Statement dated November 23, 2021 (and received December 9, 2021); and

WHEREAS Section 14.01(b)(1) of the Basic Plan document authorizes amendment of the Plan by the Employer to change any optional selections under the Adoption Agreement and authorizes such amendments to be adopted by a properly executed board resolution.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, effective July 1, 2020, Employer herby amends the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh Defined Contribution Plan by placing a “check” mark in all three columns of Item (g) of Section 5, Paragraph 5-3 of the Plan document Adoption Agreement, and hereby directs its officers and employees to take all necessary and appropriate actions to effectuate adoption of this Amendment retroactive to said date.

IN WITNESS HEREOF, Employer has caused this Resolution to be executed by its duly authorized officer this 16th day of December, 2021.

      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPANY

       

      Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule attached hereto as Schedule 3.0 (the “Seller Disclosure Schedule”), which shall specify details and exceptions to the representations and warranties of
        Seller contained in this Agreement (with specific reference to the particular Section or subsection to which such information relates), Seller hereby guarantees to Buyer, by way of independent promises of guarantee (selbständige Garantieversprechen) within the meaning of section 311 paragraph 1 BGB and subject to the requirements and limitations provided in this Agreement, that the statements contained in this ARTICLE 3 (collectively referred
        to as “Seller’s Company Representations” or individually a “Seller’s Company Representation”) are correct as of the Signing Date. Seller makes the Seller’s Company Representations also as of the Closing Date, (i) unless another
        relevant point in time has been stipulated in the Seller’s Company Representations or (ii) except as further disclosed by Seller to Buyer not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (“Subsequent Disclosure”). The Parties
        agree that Seller’s Company Representations represent neither agreements on subjective requirements, in particular on quality (Beschaffenheitsvereinbarungen), within the meaning of section 434 paragraph 1
        and paragraph 2 BGB nor quality guarantees concerning the object of the purchase (Garantien für die Beschaffenheit der Sache) within the meaning of sections 443, 444 BGB, but shall rather qualify as a
        contractual liability regime of its own kind (vertragliches Haftungsregime sui generis). Furthermore, it is understood that Section 3.30 and Section 3.31 shall not qualify as Seller’s Company
        Representations, but shall rather constitute further terms and conditions applying to the Seller’s Company Representations.

      (b)  Except as set forth in Section 3.6(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the accounts receivable (net of allowances for doubtful accounts as reflected therein) of the Company reflected in the

      	6.3	
              Non-Competition

            

       

      (a)   For a period of two (2) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted
        Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or

        Closing), or any other Person who has a material business relationship with regard to the Restricted Business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may purchase or own, directly
        or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, securities of any Person if Seller (i) is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person, (ii) has not, directly or indirectly, management functions or any material
        influence in such Person and (iii) does not own ten percent (10%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

       

      (b)  During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any person employed by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) during the Restricted Period, or
        encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to (i) a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees, (ii) a referral by a Governmental
        Authority or (iii) employment discussions with such employee without solicitation by Seller. This Section 6.3(b) shall not prevent Seller from hiring any employee whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or the Company without solicitation by

      (c)   Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.3 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer
        to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.3 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other
        limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or
        other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.3 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision shall not
        invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof.

        any non-public information to, or consider the merits of any inquiries or proposals from, or enter into any agreement with, any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) relating to any transaction involving the sale of any Company Shares, the
        Company or the sale of the Business or any of the assets of the Company (other than as permitted in this Agreement) or any other business combination.

      (a)   Upon reasonable request of Buyer and subject to applicable Laws relating to the pre-Closing exchange of information, Seller shall cause the Company to afford to the officers, employees,
        accountants, counsel, and other Representatives of Buyer, at Buyer’s costs, during the Pre-Closing Period reasonable access without undue interruption during normal business hours (i) to the Company’s properties, books, contracts, commitments, and
        records and (ii) to the Company’s managing directors, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, customers and suppliers. Upon reasonable request of Buyer and subject to applicable Laws relating to the pre-Closing exchange of information, the Company
        shall during the Pre-Closing Period furnish promptly to Buyer such information concerning the Company’s properties, books, contracts, commitments, records, and other aspects of the Company as Buyer or its Representatives may reasonably request.

       

      (b)  The Seller and the Company shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would contravene any Law, Order, or binding agreement entered
        into prior to the Signing Date or would reasonably be expected to violate or result in a loss or impairment of any attorney-client or work product privilege or would violate or prejudice the rights of third parties. The Parties will use
        commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

       

      (c)   With respect to all information furnished by one Party to the other Party or its Representatives under this Agreement, the Parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective
        Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement to which the Guarantor hereby fully accesses and confirms to be (i) bound legally and therefore (ii) obliged to comply with. The Company shall
        not be obligated to afford to Buyer, Guarantor or any of their Representatives any access to any of its properties, books, contracts, commitments, and records relating to, or in respect of, competitively sensitive information, the sharing of which
        would violate applicable Laws relating to the pre-Closing exchange of information.

              Compliance with German Foreign Trade Law

            

       

      (a)   Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Signing Date, Buyer shall file an informal voluntary information letter of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement with the German Federal
        Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) (“BMWK”). Before filing, Buyer shall submit to Seller a draft of the information letter and
        allow Seller and its legal advisors to comment on this draft and suggest amendments thereof. Buyer shall submit to Seller a complete copy of the final information letter and shall keep Seller regularly informed of the progress of the notification
        procedure.

       

      (b)   If BMWK informs Buyer that it has decided to commence a formal investigation pursuant to section 55 paragraph 3 sentence 1 AWV, Buyer shall submit the complete documentation within the
        meaning of section 14a para. 2 AWG to BMWK without undue delay. The Parties shall closely cooperate in any negotiations with BMWK and provide to each other such documents and other information and such assistance as is necessary to obtain clearance

        or decision by BMWK without undue delay.

       

      (c)   If BMWK decides, or declares that it will decide, that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is permitted only subject to certain conditions (Bedingungen),

        the imposition of certain obligations (Auflagen) on Buyer, or the granting of certain commitments or agreements by Buyer, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith possible measures to comply with such
        conditions and/or obligations. Any failure by Buyer to comply with the relevant conditions and/or obligations shall under no circumstances give Seller any right to (i) claim any damages or other compensation from Buyer or otherwise hold Buyer
        liable or (ii) claim interference with the basis of this Agreement (Störung oder Wegfall der Geschäftsgrundlage).

      (a)  Each of Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify the other of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of any Closing Condition in ARTICLE 8 impossible, unlikely, or subject to
        significant delay.

       

      (b)  During the Pre-Closing Period, each of Seller and Buyer will give prompt notice to the other of (i) any written notice or other written communication (including by telecopy or email) from any
        Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required for the in rem effectiveness (dingliche Wirksamkeit) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any written notice or
        other written communication (including by telecopy or email) from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any written notice or other written communication (including by telecopy or

        shall have the option to sell its remaining Company Shares at the time of the Put Option Exercise (regardless of the percentage quota; currently upon Closing: thirty-five percent (35%)) to Buyer as follows:

       

      
        - 30 -

        
          

      

      (i)         Buyer hereby unconditionally and irrevocably offers to Seller to purchase and acquire in rem (dinglich) all Company Shares held by Seller at
        the time of the Put Option Exercise (regardless of the percentage quota the “Put Option Shares”) for remuneration specified in Section 7.5(b)(v) below (the “Put Option”).

       

      (ii)        Without further explanation or evidence vis-à-vis the then acting notary, Seller may, but is not obligated to, accept the offer of Buyer pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(i) by notarized
        declaration of acceptance within three (3) months after occurrence of the Put Option Event (the “Put Option Exercise”). If the Put Option is not exercised within such three (3) months period, it becomes void.

       

      (iii)       Upon Seller’s Put Option Exercise, the Put Option Shares will automatically transfer to Buyer in rem (dinglich) and Buyer acquires
        automatically the Put Option Shares in rem (dinglich) without any further declaration at the time of receipt of the remuneration specified in Section 7.5(b)(v) below. Buyer hereby waives receipt of the
        declaration of the Put Option Exercise (section 151 BGB). However, the then acting notary is to be instructed to deliver the declaration of the Put Option Exercise to Buyer without undue delay.

       

      (iv)      The Company and its shareholders have approved the transfer of the Put Option Shares pursuant to the declaration which is attached as Exhibit 1.1(e). Furthermore, all Parties are
        obliged to perform all measures, make all declarations, grant all approvals and take or cause all decisions, measures, and actions, if further required, to give effect to the Put Option Exercise and the purchase, assignment and acquisition of the
        Put Option Shares as provided for in this Section 7.5(b).

       

      (v)       The remuneration for the Put Option Shares shall equal the fair market value of the Put Option Shares at the time of the Put Option Exercise. Such fair market value of the Put Option
        Shares shall be determined unanimously by Seller and Buyer or by an expert to be appointed unanimously by Seller and Buyer.

       

      (vi)       If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the expert within two (2) weeks upon Put Option Exercise, the expert shall be appointed upon request of Seller or Buyer by the German Institute of

              Other Actions by the Parties

            

       

      During the Pre-Closing Period, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing Conditions set forth in ARTICLE 8 to be satisfied, where the satisfaction of
        such conditions depends on action or forbearance from action by such Party.

       

      	7.8	
              Taxes

            

       

      (a)   Preparation of Tax Returns. All Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed for a taxable period ending on or before the Effective Date that are due after the Closing Date, (i)
        will be filed (or will be caused to be filed) by Buyer when due (after taking into account timely filed extensions) in accordance with all applicable Laws and (ii) will be prepared (or will be caused to be prepared) on a basis consistent with the
        most recent Tax Returns of the Company unless required by applicable Law. With respect to any such income Tax Returns that could result in an indemnification obligation by Seller, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date therefor,
        Buyer shall provide such Tax Return to Seller’s Representative for their review and written consent. Buyer shall procure that no such Tax Return is submitted to any Taxing Authority without written approval of Seller, which shall not be
        unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Furthermore, Buyer shall procure that after the Closing Date no Tax Return, document or information related to a taxable period ending on or before Effective Date is submitted to any Taxing Authority
        or Governmental Authority without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

       

      (b)  Cooperation. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Company and any
        audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
        litigation or other proceeding and Seller making itself available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

       

      (c)   Tax Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 11.5,  Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of any claim which involves the assertion of any
        claim or the commencement of any action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought with respect to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, that (i) Seller will be entitled to participate in
        the defense of such claim at its own expense, and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense, (ii) upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall challenge and litigate any claim or decision of any tax authority or court and (iii)
        Buyer shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of a Tax Claim that could result in Indemnified Taxes under ARTICLE 11 or an increase thereof without the written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
        or delayed. Buyer and Seller agree to give prompt written notice to each other of the receipt of any written notice by any of Buyer, Seller or the Company which involves a Tax Claim. In any case, Buyer shall notify Seller of the receipt of a tax
        assessment that could result in an indemnification obligation not later than ten (10) calendar days before the relevant tax assessment becomes final (bestandskräftig). In the event of any conflict between
        the provisions of this Section 7.8(c) and the provisions of Section 11.5, the provisions of this Section 7.8(c) shall control.

        corporate body of the Company, except for fraud or criminal misconduct on the part of such director or executive officer or deemed corporate body. Any such potential claims (whether known at the Signing Date or not and regardless of the legal
        basis) are hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waived by Buyer (i) on its own behalf and (ii) on behalf of its Affiliates.

       

      (c)   Without prejudice of the rights of Buyer for indemnification in this Agreement, upon Closing Buyer shall cause the Company not to make (and waive) any claim (whether known at the Signing Date

        claims are not sufficiently accrued in the Financial Statements. This indemnification does not cover any claims of the Company against Seller or its Affiliates from intra-group services agreements among the Company and Seller or its Affiliates.

        relates to such Tax or is based on any event or circumstance having triggered such Tax, including but not limited to reciprocal effects resulting e.g. from the lengthening of depreciation periods or higher depreciation allowances or form transfer
        of items relevant for Taxes (e.g. turnover, income, expenses, etc.) into another calendar year (herein collectively “Tax Benefits”); the net present value of such Tax Benefit shall be calculated on the basis of the tax rates applicable in
        the year in which the respective Tax Benefit arises and an applied discount factor of one per cent (1.0%) per annum;

        restitution in kind.

        11.1 and Section 11.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or

        materially prejudiced thereby.

       

      (b)   In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person (other than a Party) of a Third Party Claim, each Indemnifying Party shall have the right to (i) participate at the expense of such
        Indemnifying Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim and (ii) propose settlement terms or strategies relating to the defense of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party shall reasonably comply with. In such case, either Party shall
        (i) keep the other Parties informed of the material developments and (ii) instruct its legal counsel to provide the other Parties with all material information regarding the proceedings in relation to such Third Party Claim.

        or has participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure) and (ii) it will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all communications between any Parties and
        counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

      (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not have any Liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any claims for indemnification made by the Buyer

        that the Cap shall not apply to claims based upon, arising out of, or by reason of (i) any breach of Seller’s Fundamental Representations or (ii) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or willful misconduct.

       

      (d)  With respect to any breach of Seller’s Fundamental Representations, Seller shall not have any Liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties in excess of the full and aggregated amount of the
        Share Purchase Price and the Loan Purchase Price payable to Seller (including their respective share of the General Escrow Amount); i.e., Seller’s Liability is limited to the consideration actually received by Seller under this Agreement.

        information stored on the USB sticks including the information being made available only to “clean team members” in accordance with antitrust law requirements collectively “Due Diligence Documents”), whereby “fair disclosure” requires that a
        fact has been made available in this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Subsequent Disclosure or in the Due Diligence Documents in a context in which the disclosed
        information would have been reasonably expected in light of the facts it was meant to disclose; however, the Parties agree that any matter disclosed in this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller
        Disclosure Schedule, the Subsequent Disclosure or in the Due Diligence Documents shall be deemed to be disclosed on each instance of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the
        Subsequent Disclosure or in the Due Diligence Documents relating to such matter (cross disclosure).

       

      (v)        the Buyer Indemnified Parties have actually recovered from any third party (excluding the net present value of any aggregated negative financial effects caused by the recovery from
        such third party), including but not limited to, a third-Party insurer (excluding the net present value of any aggregated increase of premiums), any Damages with respect to the asserted breach or the Damages can be compensated by advantages to
        which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to (Vorteilsausgleich);

       

      (vi)      such Liability is resulting from, or attributable to, any legally not mandatory act, omission, transaction, change of past practice or arrangement of any Buyer Indemnified Party or,
        after Closing, the Company; or
