WARRANT CLARIFICATION AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC WARRANT AGREEMENT
THIS WARRANT CLARIFICATION AMENDMENT to the PUBLIC WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of [ ], 2023, by and between FG Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), to amend the Public Warrant Agreement dated February 25, 2022, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Existing Warrant Agreement.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company completed a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 8,050,000 units (the “Public Units”) of the Company (including 1,050,000 additional Public Units from the underwriters’ full over-allotment option exercise), each Public Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each Public Warrant entitling its holder to purchase one whole share of Common Stock (the “Public Warrant Shares”);
WHEREAS, all of the Public Warrants are governed by the Existing Warrant Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Company, FG Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and iCoreConnect Inc., a Nevada corporation, are parties to that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of January 5, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which will occur at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement, and which such time shall hereinafter be referred to as the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), the Company and the stockholders of the Company shall have effectuated an equity conversion (the “Equity Conversion”), whereby the Common Stock of the Company will be converted into a single class of preferred stock of the Company (the “Parent Preferred Stock”);
WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Equity Conversion, as provided in Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the Warrants will no longer be exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company but instead will be exercisable (subject to the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended hereby) for shares of Parent Preferred Stock;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the Existing Warrant Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto without the consent of any Registered Holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or (ii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Existing Warrant Agreement as the parties may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the rights of the Registered Holders.
WHEREAS, Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement provides that “…The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers…,” but does not specifically or clearly address the context of a mandatory conversion feature of an Alternative Issuance, in this case, a mandatory conversion feature of the Parent Preferred Stock;
WHEREAS, Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement provides that “…if less than seventy percent (70%) of the consideration receivable by the holders of the shares of Common Stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event…the Warrant Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) (but in no event less than zero) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below)…,” but does not specifically or clearly address the context of an Alternative Issuance involving a preferred stock instrument, which is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange;
WHEREAS, as a result of the above, and certain other questions that may arise regarding the treatment applicable to the Public Warrants after consummation of the Equity Conversion and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company and the Warrant Agent deem it necessary and desirable to amend the Existing Warrant Agreement to cure certain ambiguities and to add certain provisions with respect to matters or questions that may arise under the Existing Warrant Agreement, once the Public Warrants become exercisable for Parent Preferred Stock.
