Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). RECITALS A. Simultaneously herewith, LTI and LAC have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which LTI has agreed to engage in a business combination with LAC on the terms set forth therein (the "Merger"). B. Under the terms of Section 3.8 of the Merger Agreement ("Section 3.8"), LAC is required, at the time of execution of the Merger Agreement, to make financial arrangements in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration plus the Option Termination Payments (together referred to hereinafter as the "Purchase Consideration"), through one or a combination of the following: (i) the securing of a letter of credit funding for the Purchase Consideration; (ii) the deposit of the Purchase Consideration into an escrow account (the "Escrow Account"); or (iii) the establishment of such other financial arrangement as may be acceptable to the Special Committee or to LTI. C. The shareholders of LAC have (i) deposited the sum of US$3,437,234 in cash (the "Cash Deposit") into a bank account at Wells Fargo Bank West N.A. (the "Bank"), Greenwood Village, Colorado, Account No. 2153813775 (the "Account"), and (ii) secured a letter of credit funding from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SUMITOMO") in the amount of US$4,630,000 (the "Letter of Credit"). A copy of a statement from Wells Fargo Bank, confirming the Cash Deposit in the Account, and a copy of the Letter of Credit are attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B," respectively. The total of the Cash Deposit and the Letter of Credit is equal to the Purchase Consideration. D. The Parties are entering into this Agreement to satisfy the requirements of the Special Committee and the board of directors of LTI in accordance with Section 3.8 referenced above. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Agreement Concerning Financial Arrangements. In order to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.8, LAC has established the Account and, with the assistance of KAMA-TECH, the Letter of Credit, and will maintain the Account and, along with KAMA-TECH, the Letter of Credit, without any changes or modifications, until the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 7 therein (the earlier of which to occur shall be the "Conclusion Date"). LAC and KAMA-TECH agree that the Cash Deposit and Letter of Credit have been arranged exclusively for the purpose of completing the purchase of shares of LTI and payment of the Option Termination Payments under the terms of 1
SC 13E3/A13th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
the Merger Agreement, and that such Cash Deposit and Letter of Credit will not be used for any purpose other than the payment of the Purchase Consideration at Closing. Further, in order to ensure that the Letter of Credit shall remain in effect until, and be available at, the Conclusion Date, KAMA-TECH agrees to extend the operation of such Letter of Credit from time to time, as necessary, through the Conclusion Date (provided, however, that in no case shall KAMA-TECH be required to extend such Letter of Credit past December 31, 2003). 2. NOTIFICATION AND INSTRUCTIONS TO BANK. Upon execution of this Agreement, LAC shall promptly provide the Bank with a copy of this Agreement, together with a cover letter instructing the Bank (receipt of such letter to be acknowledged by the Bank and a copy thereof delivered as soon as practicable to LTI) that (i) the release of funds from the Account shall be governed by this Agreement, (ii) the Cash Deposit in the Account is solely for the purpose of effectuating a Closing under the Merger Agreement, and (iii) none of the funds in the Account are to be released to LAC or any officer, director, agent or employee of LAC, or any signatory on the Account, for any reason except (a) upon the Closing of the Merger Agreement, or (b) upon the termination of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to written instructions from LAC attaching a copy of a notice of release sent to LTI by overnight courier at least three (3) days prior to the date of the instructions.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO FUNDING AGREEMENT THIS AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") is made and entered into as of August __, 2003, by and between Laser Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LTI"), LTI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("LAC"), and KAMA-TECH (HK) LTD., a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong and shareholder of LAC ("KAMA-TECH"). RECITALS A. On or about July 31, 2003, the parties entered into an agreement (the "Funding Agreement"), in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger between LTI, LAC, and LTI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain shareholders of LTI, entered into as of the same date (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, LTI and Kama-Tech made certain representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Merger Agreement. B. Subsequent to the execution of the Funding Agreement, Edward Cowle, one of the principals of LTI, gifted a total of 94,405 shares of common stock held by him, to his brother, Tod Cowle (the "Gifted Shares"). As a result of this transaction, the amount of the Purchase Consideration set forth in the Funding Agreement, and in Section 3.8 of the Merger Agreement, has increased by the sum of $194,474.30, representing the number of Gifted Shares, multiplied by the purchase price per share of $2.06 in the Merger Agreement. This sum has been transferred to the Account at the Bank (as defined in the Funding Agreement), and the Funding Agreement needs to be amended to reflect this change. C. Under paragraph 2 of the Funding Agreement, LAC is required to cause the Bank to provide, until the Conclusion Date (as defined therein), such verification of the Cash Deposit (as defined therein), as LTI may reasonably request, and receipt and acknowledgement of the instructions described in paragraph 2 of the Funding Agreement. LTI has requested that LAC cause the Bank to provide such acknowledgement of the instructions. LAC has notified the Bank of the existence of the Funding Agreement and its terms, and provided the Bank with a copy of the Merger Agreement and Funding Agreement. However, it has not been able to obtain the acknowledgement from the Bank. In lieu of such acknowledgement, the parties have agreed that: (a) LAC will make Elizabeth Hearty, in her capacity as Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of LTI, a signatory on the Account; (b) the Account will be amended with the Bank so that Ms. Hearty will be a required signatory on any disbursements from the Account; and (c) Ms. Hearty will be required to agree to these terms, as set forth below, and agree that she will not make any disbursements except for the purpose of completing the purchase of shares of LTI under the Merger Agreement or with respect to the termination of the Merger Agreement, as the case may be. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SC 13E3/A18th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
1. Paragraph C of the Premises of the Funding Agreement shall be amended to add the following paragraph: As of August 13, 2003, the shareholders of LAC have (i) deposited the sum of US$3,631,708.30, in cash (the "Cash Deposit") into a bank account at Wells Fargo Bank West N.A. (the "Bank"), Greenwood Village, Colorado, Account No. 2153813775 (the "Account"), and (ii) secured a letter of credit funding from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SUMITOMO") in the amount of US$4,630,000 (the "Letter of Credit"). A copy of a statement from Wells Fargo Bank, confirming the Cash Deposit in the Account, and a copy of the Letter of Credit are attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B," respectively. The total of the Cash Deposit and the Letter of Credit is equal to the Purchase Consideration. 2. As of the date of this Amendment, Elizabeth Hearty has been made a signatory on the Account. Attached hereto as Exhibit "C," is a letter from the Bank, verifying that: (a) Ms. Hearty is a signatory on the Account; (b) the signature of Ms. Hearty is required for any disbursements on the Account, and (c) the signatories on the Account may not be changed without the express written consent of Ms. Hearty. By executing this Amendment, below, Ms. Hearty agrees to the terms of this Amendment, and further agrees that she will not authorize any disbursements, withdrawals or payments from the Account, or any change in the signatories on the Account, for any purpose except the purchase of shares of LTI pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, or the termination of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to joint written instructions from LAC and LTI. In the event that Ms. Hearty is unable, for any reason, to perform her responsibilities as outlined in this Amendment, LAC, in consultation with LTI, shall confirm such in writing with the Bank (with a written copy of such confirmation provided to LTI in advance of its delivery to the Bank), and LAC shall promptly appoint such other individual, as designated by LTI, in its sole discretion, to act as a required signatory on the Account. In no event shall LAC appoint a replacement signatory for Ms. Hearty unless such replacement signatory shall have been approved by LTI. Upon execution of this Amendment by LAC, LTI and Kama-Tech, and by Ms. Hearty as provided below, this paragraph shall be in lieu of the requirement in the last sentence of paragraph 2 of the Funding Agreement, that the Bank provide acknowledgement of the instructions. 3. Except as the Funding Agreement may be amended and modified as a result of paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the Funding Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be signed as of the date first above written. LASER TECHNOLOGY, INC. By: /s/ Eric A.
