Section 1. Amendments to Merger Agreement.
1.1. Article II of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 2.7 as follows
“Section 2.7 - Treatment of ADGE Warrants. (a) Each common stock purchase warrant to purchase or acquire ADGE Common Stock, whether vested or unvested (each, an “ADGE Warrant”), granted and issued and outstanding immediately before the Merger Effective Time (each holder thereof, a “Warrantholder”) and that is in effect immediately before the Merger Effective Time, shall remain in effect after the Merger Effective Time and until such ADGE Warrant expires, is terminated, is forfeited or settled in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that, upon and immediately following the Merger Effective Time (i) each such ADGE Warrant shall cease to be exercisable for or relate to shares of ADGE Common Stock but instead shall be exercisable for 0.0920 shares of Tecogen Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c), multiplied by the number of shares of ADGE Common Stock as to which each such ADGE Warrant related immediately before the Merger Effective Time (rounded down to the closest whole share), and (ii) the exercise price per share of each ADGE Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such ADGE Warrant immediately before the Merger Effective Time divided by 0.0920, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c), rounded down to the closest whole cent.
(b) Effectuation of this Section. At or before the Merger Effective Time, ADGE and Tecogen shall take all action necessary to effectuate the requirements of this Section 2.7.”
1.2. Section 8.5 - Certain Definitions is hereby amended and restated with respect only to the specific definitions below which are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
“ADGE Stockholder Approval” means the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of ADGE Common Stock entitled to vote at the ADGE Stockholder Meeting voting in favor of adoption of the Agreement.”

1.3. Subsection (a) of Section 6.1- Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations to Effect the Merger is hereby amended by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“(a) Stockholder Approvals. Each of the ADGE Stockholder Approval and the Tecogen Stockholder Approval shall have been duly obtained. The board of directors of Merger Sub shall have adopted resolutions approving the Agreement and declaring its advisability and Tecogen, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall have adopted this Agreement and approved the Merger, in accordance with DGCL, by unanimous written consent of such stockholder or otherwise.”
