of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “Georgia Code”); and 
 WHEREAS, Section 14-2-1104 of the Georgia Code
authorizes the merger of a subsidiary corporation into a parent corporation or another subsidiary corporation without the approval of the Board of Directors or shareholders of the merged subsidiary; and

terms of this Plan, the title to any property or rights of Logility, the last acting directors or officers of Logility and/or the corresponding directors or officers of the Surviving Corporation shall and will execute and make all such proper

 3.3 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, shares of Logility
Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by shareholders who have timely delivered or electronically transmitted to Logility a documented objection to the merger (the “Dissenting
Shares”) shall not be purchased by ASI pursuant to Section 3.2, but the holder shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Article 13 (Sections 14-2-1301 to 14-2-1332) of the Georgia Code. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who

 SECTION 4 
 CONVERSION OF STOCK
OPTIONS 
 4.1 As of the Effective Time, all options to acquire shares of Logility Common Stock that are outstanding as of the Effective
Time shall be converted automatically into options to acquire Class A Common Shares of ASI under the following terms and conditions, all of which are determined to be consistent with the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and the Logility, Inc.
2007 Stock Plan (collectively, the “Logility Plans”) and stock option agreements to which Logility is a party relating to stock options granted under the Logility Plans (the “Logility Options”): 
 (a) The Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan, as amended to date, shall be and hereby is adopted and approved by ASI. 
 (b) The Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan, as amended to date, shall be and hereby is adopted and approved by ASI.

 3 

 (d) The exercise price of each individual Logility Option shall be determined by multiplying the previous
exercise price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of Class A Common Shares of ASI on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the day in which the Effective Time occurs (the “ASI Closing Price”) and the denominator of which
is $7.02. The exercise price shall be expressed in terms of two decimals, rounded upward to the nearest one cent ($0.01).

of Class A Common Shares of ASI to which each Logility Option shall be subject shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Logility Common Stock to which the existing Logility Option applies by a fraction, the numerator of which
is $7.02 and the denominator of which is the ASI Closing Price. If the resulting number of Class A Common Shares would otherwise be a fraction, the number shall be rounded downward to the nearest whole number. 
 (f) The adjustments referred to in subsections (d) and (e) above are intended to be in conformance with Example 6 of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.424-1(a)(5)(i) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), it being the intent of ASI that any existing Logility Options that have been treated as incentive stock options granted under Section 422
of the Code shall continue to be so treated. To the extent that any further adjustments are required in order to achieve that result, the Logility Options shall be deemed to be amended to implement such further adjustments. 
 (g) Upon the request of any holder of an existing Logility Option or in the discretion of ASI, replacement stock option grants shall be issued to holders
of Logility Options reflecting the adjustments described above. ASI shall take any and all other actions necessary in order to implement the purposes of this Section 4. 
 4.2 The Board of Directors of ASI shall cause the Logility Plans to be amended and restated as necessary to reflect the terms and conditions set forth in
Section 4.1. 
 4.3 The Board of Directors of ASI has authorized and reserved for issuance, pursuant to the Logility Options, as
adjusted and modified hereby, that number of Class A Common Shares of ASI that would be issued upon the exercise in full of all of the Logility Options. 
 SECTION 5 
 POST-MERGER GOVERNANCE 
 5.1 The persons who are directors and officers of ASI Acquisition immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue as the directors and officers of
the Surviving Corporation and shall continue to hold office as provided in the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. 
 5.2 From and after the
Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Logility shall be deemed repealed and the Articles of Incorporation (as amended pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof) and the Bylaws of ASI Acquisition, each as in
effect at such date, shall be the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in effect until the same may be altered, amended, or repealed as therein provided or as provided by law.
