As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Common Stock shall no longer remain outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.7, without interest or dividends.

Section 2.7 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration to the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled thereto (the “Paying Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent funds in an amount sufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.6(b) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(b)

(such funds, the “Payment Fund”). In the event the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to make all such payments, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of funds required to make such payments. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in their sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the shares of Common Stock entitled thereto. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of the shares of Common Stock.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of an outstanding share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates formerly representing shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Corporation or Paying Agent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the payment of the Merger Consideration to be made to the holder thereof pursuant to Section 2.6. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and such Certificate so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to affect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the shares of Common Stock or on the consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Common Stock.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights; Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. All cash paid upon the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company. If Certificates are presented to the Company for transfer following the Effective Time, they shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund and any interest received with respect thereto that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holders of Certificates who have not complied with this Section 2.7 prior to the end of such six

(6) month period shall thereafter look, only as general creditors thereof, to the Surviving Corporation (subject to Section 2.7(e)) for payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, any of their respective Affiliates or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash held in the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to three years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash in respect of the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such cash in respect of such shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Transfer Taxes. If payment is to be made in respect of any Certificate to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Certificate or Company Stock Option such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (including, without limitation, under Section 1445 of the Code) or any provisions of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Certificate or Company Stock Option, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. If prior to the Effective Time, (i) solely as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or stock distribution which in any such event is made on a pro rata basis to all holders of Common

Stock there is a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of securities or rights convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or (ii) the Company makes a cash dividend on a pro rata basis to all holders of Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of the applicable shares of Common Stock the same economic effect contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.8 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder who has properly exercised such stockholder’s appraisal rights available under Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such stockholder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such stockholder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal, such stockholder’s shares of Common Stock shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by the Certificates held by such stockholder without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any notices or demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the “fair value” of Dissenting Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and (b) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or notices. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make any payment with respect to any notices or demands for appraisals, offer to settle or settle any demands or approve any withdrawal of any such notices or demands.

outstanding, subject to the optionee’s continued employment by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to the Surviving Corporation) through such vesting date, a payment from the Surviving Corporation consisting of cash equal to the product of (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per share exercise price of such Unvested Company Stock Option and (2) the number of shares underlying such Unvested Company Stock Option (such amount, the “Unvested Option Consideration”) that was scheduled to vest on such date. Whether a Company Stock Option is a Vested Company Stock Option or an Unvested Company Stock Option as of the Effective Time shall be determined under the terms of the Stock Option Plans, the award agreements thereunder and the Company’s Special Termination and Vesting Plan, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Vesting Plan”).

Any payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be reduced by any Tax withholding required by Law. For purposes of this Section 2.9(a), (x) an “Unvested Company Stock Option” shall mean a Company Stock Option that is not a Vested Company Stock Option and (y) a “Vested Company Stock Option” shall mean a Company Stock Option that is vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any Company Stock Option that pursuant to its terms as in effect on the date hereof becomes vested in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Immediately following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the administrator of the ESPP to prohibit any participant in the ESPP from increasing his or her payroll deduction rate prior to the Effective Time. The date immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be the “New Exercise Date” (as defined under the ESPP) with respect to any Offering Period that is in effect as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date and any option that is then in effect under the ESPP shall be exercised as of such New Exercise Date.

(c) The Company shall cause all rights, stock options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, other than the Company Stock Options granted under Company’s 96 Option Plan or 98 Option Plan (which are to be treated in accordance with Section 2.9(a)) to be canceled prior to the Effective Time without any payment being made therefor.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that are necessary or appropriate to give effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.9(a),

Without in any manner limiting the foregoing sentence, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain all necessary Consents from all holders of Company Stock Options, to the extent required by the terms of the applicable Option Plans, or pursuant to the terms of any Company Stock Option granted thereunder, and take all such other reasonable lawful action as may be necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the amendment, modification or termination of the 96 Option Plan, the 98 Option Plan or the ESPP in order to permit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in Section 2.9(a)(ii).

(f) The provisions of Section 2.9(a)(ii), Section 2.9(e) and, to the extent it relates to Section 2.9(a)(ii), Section 2.9(d), are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each holder of an Unvested Company Stock Option and his or her heirs and representatives.

Section 2.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

Disclosure Schedule identifies each of the Plans that is an “employee welfare benefit plan,” or “employee pension benefit plan” as such terms are defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2), respectively, of ERISA (such plans being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “ERISA Plans”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has any formal plan or commitment to create any additional Plan or modify or change any existing Plan in any material respect (except as required by Law) that would affect any current or former employee or director of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation of or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Plan that would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Plan above the level or expense incurred in respect thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date hereof. No Plan is or has been subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has sponsored, maintained, contributed to or been required to contribute to any such plan within the past six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement. No Plan is a “multiemployer plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate at any time within the six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement, has contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any “multiemployer plan.” Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Liability, contingent or otherwise, under any excess benefit plan or supplemental executive retirement plan.

(b) With respect to each of the Plans, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has previously delivered or made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of each of the following documents, as applicable: (i) the Plan documents (including all amendments thereto) for each written Plan or a written description of any Plan that is not otherwise in writing; (ii) the three (3) most recent annual reports and actuarial reports, if required under ERISA, and the most recent report prepared with respect thereto in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87; (iii) the most recent summary plan description and all other subsequent summaries of material modifications; (iv) if the Plan is funded through a trust or any other funding vehicle, the trust or other funding agreement (including all amendments thereto) and the latest financial statements thereof, if any; and (v) the most recent determination letter received from the IRS with respect to each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

(c) No Liability under Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA has been incurred by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such Liability.

(d) All contributions required to be made with respect to any Plan on or prior to the date of the Agreement have been timely made or are reflected on the Balance Sheet.

(e) None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any ERISA Affiliate, any of the ERISA Plans, any trust created thereunder, nor any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a transaction or has taken, or failed to take, any action in connection with which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of the ERISA Plans, any trust created thereunder, or any

trustee or administrator thereof, or any party dealing with any ERISA Plan or any such trust could be subject to any material Liability for either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975(a) or (b), 4976 or 4980B of the Code. All contributions and premiums which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate is required to pay under the terms of each of the ERISA Plans and the Code, have, to the extent required, been paid or properly recorded on the financial statements or records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in all material respects.

(f) (i) Each of the Plans has been operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and any applicable Law, including ERISA and the Code; (ii) each of the ERISA Plans that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS and has been operated in accordance with its terms and with the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in all material respects; (iii) any fund established under an ERISA Plan that is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code has so satisfied such requirements and no condition exists that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualification; and (iv) there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, threatened or anticipated claims by or on behalf of any Plan, by any employee or beneficiary under any such Plan, or otherwise involving any such Plan (other than routine claims for benefits or relating to qualified domestic relations orders).

(g) No Plan provides benefits, including death, hospitalization, surgical, medical or similar benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to current or former employees of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate after retirement or other termination of service (other than (i) coverage mandated by applicable Laws; (ii) death benefits under any “employee pension plan”; or (iii) benefits the full cost of which is borne by the current or former employee (or his beneficiary)). No condition exists that would prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any Plan providing health or medical benefits in respect of any active or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(h) Except as set forth in Section 3.17(h) of the Disclosure Schedule, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other similar payment or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of or otherwise enhance any benefit due any such employee, officer or director. No amounts payable under any of the Plans or any other contract, agreement or arrangement with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have any Liability would fail to be deductible for federal income Tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Code.

(i) There has been no material failure of a Plan that is a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) to meet the requirements of section 4980B(f) of the Code with respect to a qualified beneficiary (as defined in section 4980B(g) of the Code). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has contributed to a nonconforming group health plan (as defined in section 5000(c) of the Code) and no ERISA Affiliate of the Company

or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred a tax under section 5000(a) of the Code which is or could become a liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(j) With respect to each Plan that is not subject to United States Law (a “Foreign Plan”): (i) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the Closing Date, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Plan and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall cause such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations; and (ii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

(k) Section 3.17(k) of the Disclosure Schedule contains a true, correct and complete schedule of the aggregate amounts of all Liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are owed on or following the date of this Agreement to any managers or employees of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as currently conducted or to any other Person pursuant to any bonus plan, deferred compensation plan or vacation plan.

(l) In respect of each Company Stock Option which is outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), the holder of which is within the charge to United Kingdom Taxes, either (i) the holder has agreed and undertaken in writing to any company which is a “secondary contributor” in respect of Employer’s NICs (as defined below) payable in respect of any gain realised upon the exercise, assignment, cancellation or release of a Company Stock Option (the “Secondary Contributor”) that the Secondary Contributor may recover from the holder the whole of any Employer’s NICs; or (ii) the holder has joined with the Secondary Contributor in making a written election for the whole of any liability of the Secondary Contributor to Employer’s NICs to be transferred to the holder (such election being in such terms and such form and having obtained such approval by H.M. Revenue & Customs as is provided in paragraph 3B of Schedule 1 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992). For purposes of this Section 3.17(l), “Employer’s NICs” means the amount of secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions payable in respect of any gain realised on the exercise, assignment, cancellation or release of a Company Stock Option.

(m) The tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by Black & White Software Inc. was previously merged into the Company 401(k) Plan, and the Company complied with all applicable Law (including but not limited to ERISA and the Code) with respect to such plan merger.

Section 5.2 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, Affiliates and other agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) any information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or

resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of the Representatives, whether or not such Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Parent or Merger Sub), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean (A) any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (E) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 5.2(a) if, but only if, (i) the Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.2; (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized, independent financial advisor, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) it is required to take such actions to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (iii) the Company has provided Parent with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of such determination; and (iv) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 6, 2005, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation (i) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) would result in a transaction that (A) involves consideration to the holders of the shares of Common Stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing and (B) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including the likelihood that such transaction will be consummated.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or its Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications) unless such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement). The Company agrees that it shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request). The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) following determination by the Company Board that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and prior to providing any such Person with any non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries, notify Parent of the making of such determination. The Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Parent, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or to Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the Company Recommendation, or make any statement, filing or release, in connection

with the Company Stockholder Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Company Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into (or cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(b)) or (B) requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(d), prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company Board may approve or recommend to the stockholders of the Company a Superior Proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation in connection therewith (a “Company Subsequent Determination”) after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of Section 5.2) constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that the Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal in respect of any revised Superior Proposal from such third party or its Affiliates that the Company proposes to accept) if, but only if, (i) the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that it is required to take such actions to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, (ii) during the five (5) Business Day Period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Parent, the Company and the Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with Parent to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Parent shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been proposed by Parent since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 5.2(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changing, qualifying or modifying of the Company Recommendation or the making of a Company Subsequent Determination by the Company Board shall not change the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing Section 203 of the DGCL and any other state takeover statute or other state law to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from complying with the Company’s obligations required under Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure

relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure.

Section 5.3 Stockholders’ Meeting; Proxy Material.

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary in accordance with applicable Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of approval of this Agreement and the Merger.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that prior to filing the Proxy Statement, the Company shall cooperate and provide Parent and Merger Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the draft of the Proxy Statement (including each amendment or supplement thereto). Parent shall furnish all information concerning it and Merger Sub as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement.

(c) The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify Parent and Merger Sub of the receipt of any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to any request from the SEC for amendments of, or supplements to, the Proxy Statement as well as any request by the SEC for additional information. The Company (in consultation with Parent and Merger Sub) shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to the comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement shall have been cleared by the SEC. The Company shall cooperate and provide Parent and Merger Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the draft of the Proxy Statement (including each amendment or supplement thereto) and all responses to requests for additional information by and replies to comments of the SEC, prior to filing such with, or sending such to, the SEC, and the parties hereto will provide each other with copies of all such filings made and correspondence with the SEC. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information should be discovered by any party which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the Company with the SEC and disseminated by the Company to the stockholders of the Company; provided that prior to such mailing, the Company shall provide Parent with the right to review and comment described in this Section 5.3(c). Subject to Section 5.2(e), the Company Recommendation, together with a copy of the opinion referred to in Section 3.23, shall be included in the Proxy Statement.

Section 5.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, including obtaining Consents as required from any Governmental Authority or as required by any contract, lease or agreement, including those disclosed in Section 3.5(b), in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly consult with the other parties hereto with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and provide the other party (or its counsel) copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority or any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions hereunder. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions under this Agreement unless otherwise prohibited by Law. If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Government Authority with respect to the transactions under this Agreement, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. To the extent that transfers, amendments or modifications of Permits (including Environmental Permits) are required as a result of the execution of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions hereunder, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such transfers.

(c) No party hereto shall take any action after the date hereof that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any Governmental Authority necessary to be contained prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Agreement, “reasonable best efforts” of Parent shall not require Parent to agree to any prohibition, limitation, or other requirement which would prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or by Parent, Merger Sub or any of Parent’s Affiliates, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates, or compel Parent, Merger Sub or any of Parent’s Affiliates to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates (together, the “Burdensome Conditions”). The Company shall not agree to any such prohibition, limitation, or other requirement without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 5.5 Delisting. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and terminate registration under the Exchange Act; provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

(a) Following the Effective Time and for at least one (1) year thereafter, Parent shall cause to be provided to individuals who are employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time who remain employed with the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Parent (“Affected Employees”) employee benefits (other than incentive and equity compensation) (i) pursuant to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements as provided to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) pursuant to employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements maintained by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent providing coverage and benefits which, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent in positions comparable to positions held by Affected Employees with Parent or its Subsidiaries from time to time after the Effective Time.

(b) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, give Affected Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, waiting periods and determination of the level of benefits under any employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent for such Affected Employees’ service with the Company or any

Subsidiary of the Company to the same extent recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit.

(c) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, at-work conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Affected Employees under any welfare benefit plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under any welfare plan maintained for the Affected Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) provide each Affected Employee with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements for such year under any welfare plans that Affected Employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time.

If Parent makes a request to terminate the Company 401(k), Parent shall receive from the Company evidence (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) that the Company complied with Parent’s request. If the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated, Parent shall cause the trustee of a defined contribution plan in which employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries participate, to accept “eligible rollover distributions” (as such term is defined under Section 402 of the Code) from the Company 401(k) Plan, including rollover of participant loans.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor in accordance with their terms all employment, severance, change-of-control and similar obligations of the Company.

(f) Post-Closing Employee Payments. Prior to the Closing, Parent will allocate an aggregate of $4,250,000 (the “Employee Retention Amount”) among Affected Employees as Parent shall determine upon consultation with Company management, subject to such additional terms as set forth on Schedule 5.7(f). Each portion of the Employee Retention Amount that is allocated to an Affected Employee will be paid in such amounts, at such times and upon conditions as shall be set forth in letter agreements with each such Affected Employees.

Section 5.9 Public Disclosure; Confidentiality. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Thereafter, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and confer with and use reasonable best efforts to agree on, any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby, except with respect to any such press release or public announcement: (a) as may be required by applicable Law (including any filing made with the SEC by Parent pursuant Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) or by the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which one of the parties’ securities are listed as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release, in which case neither the Company nor Parent shall issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party, to the extent practicable and (b) as may be consistent with actions taken by the Company or its Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) pursuant to Section 5.2(e) or Section 5.2(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.9, either party may respond to questions from stockholders or inquiries from financial analysts and media representatives in a manner that is consistent with then-existing public disclosures.

Section 5.10 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Parent (on behalf of itself and Merger Sub) shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence or non-occurrence, as the case may be, would be likely to cause either (i) any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date hereof to the Closing or (ii) any failure of such party, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder in any material respect; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice or the representations or warranties of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 5.11 Tax Filings. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to: (i) timely file all Tax Returns (“Post-Signing Tax Returns”) required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and all such Post-Signing Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (ii) timely pay all Taxes due and payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries (except for Taxes which are being contested in good faith), respectively, and (iii) promptly notify Parent of any Tax Claims pending against or with respect

to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any significant developments with respect to ongoing Tax Claims).

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and persons who become any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation and judgments, fines, losses, claims, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation) (a “Claim”) arising out of actions or omissions (including those pertaining to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby) occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (but regardless of whether such Claim is or was asserted before or after the Effective Time) to the full extent permissible under applicable provisions of the DGCL, the terms of the Company’s Organizational Documents, and under any agreements as in effect at the date hereof (true and correct copies of which have been previously provided or made available to Parent); provided, however, that in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims. The Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with Parent; provided, however, that (w) Parent shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (provided Parent confirms in writing to the Indemnified Party its obligations to indemnify such party to the fullest extent permitted by law) and upon such assumption Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with Parent, and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (x) Parent shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.12(a) to pay for only one firm or counsel for all Indemnified Parties, unless the proposed counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest among such parties, in which case Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of additional counsel to the extent necessary to avoid such conflict and (y) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.12, upon learning of any Claim, shall notify Parent thereof, provided, that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of Parent under this Section 5.12 except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices the Company.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, or other fully paid up “tail” policy from a nationally recognized insurance carrier

having a financial strength or security rating equal to or greater than that of the Company’s insurance carrier, for the Company’s directors and officers in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company, so long as the aggregate cost of such insurance coverage is less than $375,000 (the “Parent Maximum Tail Amount”); provided that in the event that the Parent Maximum Tail Amount is insufficient to obtain such coverage, then the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company, so long as the aggregate cost of such insurance coverage is less than $400,000 (the “Company Maximum Tail Amount”); provided that the parties shall cooperate in good faith in order to obtain the lowest premium for such coverage. In the event that the Company Maximum Tail Amount is insufficient to obtain such coverage, the Company may spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the policies purchased hereunder in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.12.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and nothing herein shall affect any indemnification rights that any Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives may have under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or the equivalent documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, any contract or applicable law.

Section 5.13 State Takeover Laws. If any state takeover statute becomes or is deemed to become applicable to the Company, this Agreement or the Merger, then the Company Board shall take all action necessary to render such statute inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 5.14 FIRPTA Certificate. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a duly executed FIRPTA Certificate in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company fails to deliver a FIRPTA Certificate and Parent elects to proceed with the Closing, Parent shall be entitled to withhold the

amount required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code as provided in Section 2.7(g).

Section 5.15 Source Code Escrow Obligations. Prior to Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and at its sole cost and expense, to ensure that it is in compliance with all, and not in breach of any, of its source code escrow obligations to all licensees of the Owned Software listed on Section 5.15 of the Disclosure Schedules.
