This AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated as of August 31, 1999 ("AMENDMENT NO. 1") to
the AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of February 16, 1999 (the "ORIGINAL
MERGER AGREEMENT"), is made and entered into by and between Fluence Technology,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FLUENCE" or "BUYER"), Opmaxx Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("MERGER SUB"), and Opmaxx, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation ("OPMAXX" or the "COMPANY"). The Original Merger

RECITALS
The parties have heretofore entered into the Original Merger Agreement.
The parties now wish to amend the Original Merger Agreement to provide that
Opmaxx rather than Merger Sub shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger
and to effect certain other technical clarifications. In addition, Merger Sub,
having been formed after the execution and delivery of the Original Merger
Agreement, wishes to become a party to the Merger Agreement, and Opmaxx and
Fluence wish to include Merger Sub as a party to the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth in this Amendment No. 1, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Merger Sub is hereby added as a party to the Merger
Agreement, and by execution of this Amendment No. 1 Merger Sub agrees to be
bound by all of the provisions of the Original Merger Agreement (as amended by
this Amendment No. 1) to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered the
Original Merger Agreement as a party thereto. The forepart and signature page of
the Original Merger Agreement, and the definition of "Party" and "Parties" in
the forepart of the Original Merger Agreement, are hereby amended to add Merger
Sub as a party.
Section 2. The first sentence of Section 2 of the Original Merger
Agreement is hereby amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as
follows: "Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties
agree that, following the Closing (as defined in Section 3 below), Merger Sub
and Opmaxx shall execute and file the Certificate of Merger in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B with the
Delaware Secretary of State, whereupon Merger Sub shall be merged with
and into Opmaxx, and Opmaxx shall be the surviving corporation in such merger
and shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fluence."
Section 3. Section 2.1 of the Original Merger Agreement is hereby
amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as follows: "Upon the
effectiveness of the Merger (hereinafter referred to as the "EFFECTIVE TIME OF
THE MERGER"), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Opmaxx and the separate
existence of Merger Sub shall cease. Opmaxx shall be the corporation surviving
the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation")."
Section 4. Section 2.3 of the Original Merger Agreement is hereby
amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as follows: "Each share of
the common stock of Merger Sub (the "MERGER SUB COMMON STOCK") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Timer of the Merger shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof,
be converted into one share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock."
Section 5. Exhibit B to the Original Merger Agreement (Certificate of
Merger of Opmaxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with and into Opmaxx Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation) is hereby amended and restated, in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.
Section 6. Section 12.5 of the Original Merger Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: "The boards of
directors of Merger Sub and Opmaxx may amend this Agreement at any time prior to
the time that the Certificate of Merger filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State becomes effective, in accordance with Section 103 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, provided that an amendment made subsequent to the adoption of
the agreement by the stockholders of Merger Sub or Opmaxx shall not (i) alter or
change the amount or kind of shares, securities, cash, property and/or rights to
be received in exchange for or on conversion of all or any of the shares of any
class or series thereof of Merger Sub or Opmaxx; (ii) alter or change any term
of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to be effected
by the Merger; or (iii) alter or change any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement if such alteration or change would adversely affect the holders of any
class or series thereof of such constituent corporation.
Section 7. Except as expressly set forth herein, all terms and
conditions of the Original Merger Agreement shall remain unchanged.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment No. 1 has been duly executed and
delivered by the duly authorized officer of each party hereto as of the date
first written above.
