(“Shareholder”). Each of Purchaser and Shareholder is referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Schedule A or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Shareholder owns 100% of the outstanding Equity Interests (the “Acquired Interests”) of Heartcore Inc. a Japanese Kabushiki Kaisha company (the “Corporation”);

WHEREAS, Shareholder desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to acquire from Shareholder, all of the Acquired Interests (the “Transaction”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Transaction and also prescribe various conditions to the Transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Article I. Purchase Price and Sale

Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale and Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to conditions set out in this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase and the Shareholder agrees to sell the Corporation Shares, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Subject to any adjustment pursuant to the terms of ‎Section 1.02 and ‎Section 3.07, the purchase price for the Corporation Shares will be ¥1,800,418,650 (the “Purchase Price”) and will be paid as follows:

(a) An amount of ¥1,013,340,000 less the amount of the debts of the Corporation as set forth in ‎Section 1.01(a) of the disclosure schedules as provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (the “Disclosure Schedules”) (such debts as set forth therein being referred to as the “Estimated Corporation Debt”) will be paid by the Purchaser to the Shareholder on the Closing Date by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser (such final amount, the “Closing Payment”).

(b) An amount of ¥126,133,200 (the “Holdback Amount”) will be retained by the Purchaser from the Closing Payment delivered to the Shareholder on the Closing Date, and, subject to provisions of ‎Section 1.02, will be paid by the Purchaser to the Shareholder on the Holdback Release Date by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser no later than two Business Days prior to the Holdback Release Date.

1

(c) An amount of ¥273,866,800 in respect of the Multi-year Licensing Agreements (the “Long Term Holdback Amount”) will be retained by the Purchaser from the Closing Payment delivered to the Shareholder on the Closing Date and will be paid by the Purchaser to the Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 1.04, by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser.

(d) Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 1.03, an amount of ¥387,078,650 (the “Deferred Consideration”), which shall consist of a principal amount of ¥322,700,000 with an uncompounded rate of interest of 6.65% per annum, will be retained by the Purchaser from the Closing Payment delivered to the Shareholder on the Closing Date and will be paid by the Purchaser to the Shareholder on the third annual anniversary of the Closing Date by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the actual amount of debts of the Corporation as of the Closing in the categories as set forth in ‎Section 1.01(a) of the disclosure schedules as provided by the Shareholder to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (the “Final Debt Amount”), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller, an amount equal to (i) the Estimated Corporation Debt minus (ii) the Final Debt Amount (such payment, the “Debt True-Up Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Final Debt Amount is greater than the Estimated Debt, no payment shall be owed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section, and the amount of such excess shall instead be reflected as a liability in the Closing Date Balance Sheet in accordance with ‎Section 1.02.

Section 1.02 Determination of Net Tangible Assets.

(a) The Purchase Price will be subject to an adjustment pursuant to which the Purchase Price will be increased by the amount that the Net Tangible Assets of the Corporation at the Closing are in excess of ¥131,400,000 (the “Target NTA”) and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount that the Net Tangible Assets of the Corporation at the Closing are less than the Target NTA, or increased by the amount that the Net Tangible Assets of the Corporation at the Closing are more than the Target NTA.

(b) Following the Closing, Purchaser will prepare the balance sheet of the Corporation as at the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet) and will deliver such Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Shareholder no later than 150 days following the Closing Date, along with any schedules and supporting documentation used by the Purchaser in the determination of the value of the Net Tangible Assets. The Purchaser will cause the Closing Date Balance Sheet to be prepared in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), except to the extent deviations from GAAP are set forth in Schedule B. During the 30 day period following the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Shareholder, the Shareholder will have the right to review the Closing Date Balance Sheet and will provide to Purchaser any disagreements of Shareholder with respect thereto. Purchaser will (i) provide the Shareholder with reasonable access to the Corporation’s books and records and work papers (including the work papers of the Purchaser’s accountants) related to the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet; and (ii) make the Purchaser’s accountants and employees reasonably available to respond to inquiries related to the contents of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, in each case, in order to enable the Shareholder to verify the amounts on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

2

(c) The Closing Date Balance Sheet will be deemed final and binding upon the Parties unless the Shareholder delivers notice to the Purchaser that the Shareholder disputes the Closing Date Balance Sheet, or any portion thereof, within 30 days after the Closing Date Balance Sheet is delivered to the Shareholder. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Shareholder’s alternative calculation of the Net Tangible Assets and the Closing Date Balance Sheet and an explanation of each variance. If the Shareholder and the Purchaser have not been able to agree upon a resolution of any dispute within 180 days from the Closing Date, then any such dispute will be resolved by the Reviewing Accountant. The Reviewing Accountant will be instructed to resolve any matters in dispute as promptly as practicable but in no event more than 30 days after submission. The fees of the Reviewing Accountant will be borne equally by the Shareholder and the Purchaser, unless the Reviewing Accountant determines that either of the Shareholder or the Purchaser was unreasonable in its approach to calculating the NTA Amount in which case the Reviewing Accountant, in its sole discretion, may apportion such fees as it sees fit. Any such matters in dispute will be determined resolved fully, finally and exclusively by the Reviewing Accountant and such determination will be final and binding on the Parties.

(d) If the Closing Date Balance Sheet, as finally determined in accordance with this ‎Section 1.02, shows the Net Tangible Assets to be equal to or greater than the Target NTA (any excess over ¥1.00 being the “NTA Excess”), then the Purchaser will pay to the Shareholder the Holdback Amount and the amount of the NTA Excess within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Purchase Price will be increased by an amount equal to the NTA Excess.

(e) If the Closing Date Balance Sheet, as finally determined in accordance with ‎Section 1.02(c), shows the Net Tangible Assets to be less than the Target NTA (the amount of the difference, expressed as a positive number, being the “NTA Shortfall”) and

(i) the NTA Shortfall is less than the Holdback Amount, then the Purchaser will pay to the Shareholder the Holdback Amount less the amount of the NTA Shortfall within two Business Days of the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Purchase Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the NTA Shortfall; or

(ii) the NTA Shortfall is equal to or greater than the Holdback Amount, then (A) the Purchaser will retain the entire Holdback Amount, (B) the Shareholder will pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer within two Business Days of the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet an amount equal to the difference between the NTA Shortfall and the Holdback Amount and (C) the Purchase Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the NTA Shortfall.

(f) For purposes herein, “Net Tangible Assets” means Tangible Assets (as defined below) less the Tangible Liabilities (as defined below)

3

(g) For purposes herein, “Tangible Assets” means the aggregate book value of only the following assets of the Corporation, each as at the Closing Date, determined in accordance with the provisions of this ‎Section 1.02:

(ii) The accounts receivable of the Corporation as of the Closing Date, which are collected by the Corporation after the Closing Date but prior to the Holdback Release Date;

(iii) other receivables and accrued revenue (limited for the purposes of the price adjustment to the other receivables and accrued revenues collected within the Holdback Period);

(iv) prepaid expenses and supplies; and

(v) net fixed assets (net of accumulated depreciation and excluding any capitalized development expenses).

(h) For greater certainty, the Tangible Assets will exclude any deferred tax assets, investments in marketable securities, financial instruments, promissory note receivables, any improvements made to properties whether leased or owned by the Corporation, Automobiles, any intercompany receivables and personal balances and any intangible assets such as goodwill and capitalized software development costs.

(i) For purposes herein, “Tangible Liabilities” means the aggregate book value of only the following liabilities of the Corporation, each as at the Time of Closing, determined in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 1.02:

(i) accounts payable;

(ii) advanced billing/deferred revenue;

(iii) income taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes and other taxes payable (including but not limited to the amount of the Estimated Pre-Close Tax Liability);

(iv) employee-related payables (e.g., payroll taxes, bonuses, benefits, and other relevant employee related payables);

(v) accrued expenses and liabilities other than the Final Corporation Debt; and

(vi) customer deposits related to the Business.

(j) For clarity, the Purchaser will not assume, and the Tangible Liabilities will not include, (a) any reserve for doubtful debt, (b) any intercompany payables, (c) any indebtedness of the Company owing to affiliated companies or any other non-arm’s length party, its banks, its employees or its shareholder (all of which will be extinguished at the Time of Closing), (d) any indebtedness of the Company in relation to taxes that may be payable by the Company as a result of the sale of its equity, (e) any income, sales, payroll or other taxes of the Company relating to any pre-closing period or (f) any employer contributions required under any Benefit Plans prior to the Closing Date.

Section 1.03 Claim Withholding. In addition to any other rights that the Purchaser may have pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will have the right but not the obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of this ‎Section 1.03, to withhold from the Holdback Amount, the Long Term Holdback Amount, the NTA Excess (if any) and/or the Deferred Consideration, an amount equal to the amount of any asserted yet unresolved Claims of Purchaser pursuant to ‎Section 3.01, which amount may be withheld until such Claim is finally resolved as set forth herein. Upon the resolution of all Claims, any amounts so withheld by the Purchaser and for which a Claim amount is payable to the Purchaser may be retained by the Purchaser, and any amounts so withheld by the Purchaser and for which a Claim amount is not payable to the Purchaser shall be paid to the Shareholder within two Business Days of final resolution of such Claims.

Section 1.04 Long Term Holdback Amount and Multi-year Licensing Agreements.

(a) On and from the Closing Date, the Long Term Holdback Amount will be paid in quarterly instalments, with payment of each instalment to be made within fourteen (14) days of the end of the calendar quarter to which it relates. The amount of each instalment will be equal to the total amount of fees (excluding any amount of Tax) actually received by Corporation pursuant to the Multi-Year Licensing Agreements during the relevant calendar quarter.

(iii) Once the Long Term Holdback Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time under this Section 1.04) has been paid in full, no further amounts whatsoever will be payable by Purchaser to Shareholder in connection with the Multi-Year Licensing Agreements.

(c) Purchaser shall utilize its commercially reasonable efforts to invoice and collect all Scheduled Fees as and when they are due and payable.
