Intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, Parent, US Sub, Merger Sub and Adaytum agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into Adaytum (the “Merger”). A Certificate of Merger and any other required documents (collectively, the “Merger Documents”), substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT 1.1, will be duly prepared, executed and acknowledged by Adaytum and Merger Sub and thereafter delivered to the Secretary of State of Delaware for filing in accordance with the DGCL contemporaneously with the Closing (as defined below). The Merger will become effective at such time as the Merger Documents have been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). Following the Merger, Adaytum will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease.

1.2 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, (i) the Merger will have all of the effects provided by the Certificate of Merger and applicable law, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation of Adaytum will be amended in the form attached as Appendix A to EXHIBIT 1.1 until duly further amended, (iii) the bylaws of Merger Sub will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended, (iv) the directors of Merger Sub will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, to hold office in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, (v) the officers of Merger Sub will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, to hold office in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and (vi) the issued and outstanding certificates for the capital stock of Merger Sub will be the issued and outstanding certificates initially representing all of the issued capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.3 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as soon as practicable (but no more than three (3) business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the last to be fulfilled of the conditions set forth in Article IX that by their terms are not to occur at the Closing (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP in Boston, Massachusetts, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and Adaytum. If all of conditions set forth in Article IX hereof are determined to be satisfied (or duly waived) at the Closing, concurrently with the Closing the parties hereto will cause the Merger to be consummated by the filing of the Merger Documents with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Closing will be deemed to have concluded at the Effective Time.

— 1 —

1.4 Approval by the Stockholders of Adaytum. Adaytum will take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law, its Charter Documents (as defined below) and any agreements to which it is a party to solicit the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and all of the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of Adaytum by means of a written consent of stockholders in accordance with the DGCL, or if it is unable to obtain such written consent, by a duly convened meeting of stockholders. Adaytum will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval as soon as practicable. Adaytum represents and warrants that its Board of Directors has duly (i) approved the Merger in accordance with the DGCL and (ii) resolved to recommend to the stockholders of Adaytum that they approve this Agreement, the Merger and all of the transactions contemplated hereby.

— 3 —

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall apply:

(ii) the term “Series E Per Share Amount” means $6.270,

(iii) the term “Series F Per Share Amount” means $18.810, and

(iv) the term “Common Per Share Amount” means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Aggregate Common Stock Amount by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of Adaytum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (giving effect to the conversion, exercise or exchange of all In-the-Money Options (as defined below) and any warrants exercised prior to the Effective Time) plus the aggregate number of shares of Adaytum Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series G Preferred Stock may be converted immediately prior to the Effective Time. The term “Aggregate Common Stock Amount” means the Merger Consideration less (i) the Aggregate Preferred Share Amount (as defined below). The term “Merger Consideration” means $160,000,000 plus all amounts received after the date of this Agreement in payment of the exercise price of any options or warrants exercised for cash minus the sum of (1) the Employee Carveout Amount (as defined below), (2) any Net Working Capital Shortfall (as defined below) and (3) any Adaytum Transaction Expense Excess (as defined below). The term “Aggregate Preferred Share Amount” means the sum of (aa) the Series D Per Share Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (excluding the Series D Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (bb) the Series E Per Share Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (excluding the Series E Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (cc) the Series F Per Share Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (excluding the Series F Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Adaytum shall cause each holder of an option or warrant to purchase Adaytum Common Stock listed on Schedule 2.1(c) (each such option to the extent then exercisable and each such warrant an “In-the-Money Option”) to exercise such option or warrant prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Shares of Adaytum Capital Stock that are actually issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding the Excluded Shares, are sometimes referred to herein as the “Outstanding Adaytum Shares.” All rights, warrants or options to acquire Adaytum Common Stock (other than In-the-Money Options) and securities convertible into Adaytum Common Stock (other than the Adaytum Preferred Stock) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and do not expire pursuant to their terms or have not been exercised on or before the Closing (each of which is specifically identified in Section 3.2 of the Adaytum Disclosure Schedule) are sometimes referred to herein as the “Outstanding Adaytum Options.”

— 4 —

(e) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of preferred stock, without par value, of the Surviving Corporation with a redemption and retraction amount equal to $100.

2.2 Escrow Fund.

(a) Ten percent (10%) of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 above (collectively the “Escrow Fund”) will be deposited by US Sub into escrow and held in escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement attached as EXHIBIT 2.2 (the “Escrow Agreement”) as the sole source (subject to Section 10.7) of indemnification payments that may become due to Parent or US Sub pursuant to Article X. The delivery of the Escrow Fund by US Sub will be made in proportion as to each recipient of Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 above (each a “Participating Holder”) as the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to such Participating Holder bears to the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to all Participating Holders pursuant to Section 2.1.

(b) The adoption of this Agreement by stockholders of Adaytum will also constitute their approval of the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, which is an integral term of the Merger. The acceptance of Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1 above by the stockholders of Adaytum will constitute their agreement to be bound by the Escrow Agreement, the appointment of the Indemnification Representative as designated in the Escrow Agreement (the “Indemnification Representative”) as their representative for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and the taking by the Indemnification Representative of all actions and the making of all decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by such Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement for the benefit of such stockholders.

2.3 Dissenting Shares. Shares of Adaytum Capital Stock with respect to which appraisal rights shall have been properly perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, unless and until the holder of such Dissenting Shares withdraws such holder’s demand for such appraisal in accordance with Section 262(k) of the DGCL or becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder of Dissenting Shares shall withdraw, in accordance with Section 262(k) of the DGCL, such holder’s demand for such appraisal or shall become ineligible for such appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such holder’s Adaytum Capital Stock was converted as of the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement. Any amounts to be paid to holders of Dissenting Shares with respect to such Dissenting Shares shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

2.4 Exchange Procedure.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate an exchange agent mutually agreeable to Parent and Adaytum (the “Exchange Agent”).

— 5 —

(b) US Sub to Provide Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, US Sub shall, and Parent shall cause US Sub to, make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article II, the Merger Consideration in cash; provided, however, that, pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Escrow Agreement, US Sub shall, and Parent shall cause US Sub to, deposit into escrow the Escrow Fund.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of outstanding shares of Adaytum Capital Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 (i) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT 2.4(C) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any certificate or certificates representing such shares (the “Certificates”) in exchange for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent (or in the case of In-the-Money Options and warrants that have been exercised but for which Certificates have not been delivered to the Participating Holder, the applicable exercise agreement and verification of payment to Adaytum of the appropriate exercise price, whether in cash or pursuant to a “cashless” or “net exercise” surrender of the relevant option or warrant or portion thereof (collectively “Exercise Documentation”)), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, duly executed stock powers reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent, and such other customary documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Exercise Documentation, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such Participating Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 (less the portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such holder that is deposited into escrow pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Escrow Agreement), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled (or deemed to be cancelled in the case of In-the-Money Options or warrants for which Certificates have not been so delivered); provided, however, that no portion of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to a Participating Holder until such time as all properly executed letters of transmittal have been delivered to the Exchange Agent by such holder. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2, US Sub shall, and Parent shall cause US Sub to, deliver to the custodian of the Escrow Fund mutually selected by Parent and Adaytum (the “Custodian”), on behalf of the Participating Holders, the portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such holder that is to be deposited into escrow pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Escrow Agreement), which shall be available to reimburse Parent, US Sub or its affiliates, as provided in Article X and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be distributed to a Person (defined below) other than the Person shown as the record holder of the shares of Adaytum Capital Stock surrendered, it will be a condition of the distribution thereof that the Certificate, if any, so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent, US Sub or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes (as defined below) required by reason of distribution of the portion of Merger Consideration to a Person other than the Person shown as the record holder of the shares of Adaytum Capital Stock surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent, US Sub or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

— 6 —

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, US Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Custodian or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Adaytum Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) Issue Shares. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will issue shares of newly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable common stock, without par value of the Surviving Corporation to US Sub in consideration for US Sub paying the Merger Consideration to the holders of Outstanding Adaytum Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, which shares issued by the Surviving Corporation will have a fair market value equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Outstanding Adaytum Shares and equal to the cash paid by US Sub.

2.5 No Further Ownership Rights in Adaytum Capital Stock. The Merger and its approval by the stockholders of Adaytum and the execution of this Agreement will be deemed, at the Effective Time, to constitute full satisfaction and termination of all rights and agreements pertaining to Adaytum Capital Stock pursuant to the DGCL, by contract or otherwise, other than (i) rights pursuant to this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and (ii) rights of holders of Dissenting Shares under the DGCL. After the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Adaytum of Adaytum Capital Stock. Except for the Outstanding Adaytum Options to be exercised pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or assumed pursuant to Section 2.6 below, prior to or upon Closing, Adaytum will cause all other Outstanding Adaytum Options, including without limitation the warrants described on Schedule 2.5 hereto, to be cancelled. Until surrendered to Parent, each certificate for Adaytum Capital Stock will, after the Effective Time, represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration into which the shares of Adaytum Capital Stock formerly represented thereby will have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

2.6 Assumption of Stock Options. At the Effective Time, US Sub shall assume that portion of each Outstanding Adaytum Option listed on Schedule 2.6 that has not been exercised pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and each holder thereof (each an “Option Holder”) shall thereby be entitled to acquire, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Option Holder, on substantially the same terms (including the dates and extent of exercisability) and subject to the same conditions, including vesting, as such Outstanding Adaytum Option (taking into account any amendment to such option provided for in Section 9.2(m)), the number of shares of common stock, without par value, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Adaytum Common Stock for which such portion of such Outstanding Adaytum Option is exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Number (rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Adaytum Common Stock of such Outstanding Adaytum Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Number. The term “Conversion Number” means the quotient obtained by dividing the Common Per Share Amount by the average of the daily closing prices of the Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the five consecutive full trading days ending two trading days preceding the Closing Date.

No Plan is covered by Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 412 of the Code. No “prohibited transaction,” as defined in ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975, has occurred with respect to any Plan, unless such a transaction was exempt from such rules.

All contributions, reserves, or premium payments to the Plan determined in accordance with prior funding and accrual practices have been made or provided for through the date hereof. Neither Adaytum nor any entity which is considered one employer with Adaytum under Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA (each an “ERISA Affiliate”) has ever maintained or contributed to or incurred or expects to incur liability with respect to any Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or any “multi-employer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA. There are no restrictions on the rights of Adaytum or any ERISA Affiliate to amend or terminate any Plan without incurring any liability thereunder. Adaytum has not engaged in or is a successor or parent corporation to an entity that has engaged in a transaction described in ERISA Section 4069.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification Relating to Agreement.

(a) Subject to Sections 10.4 and 10.5, US Sub shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless from and against, and to be reimbursed with respect to, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Indemnifiable Amounts”), of every nature whatsoever incurred by US Sub (which will be deemed to include any of the foregoing incurred by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation) by reason of or arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach, or any claim (including claims by parties other than US Sub) that constitutes a breach, by Adaytum of any representation or warranty of Adaytum contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered to US Sub or Parent pursuant to this Agreement, other than any breach or related claim taken or not taken at the written direction of or after consultation with and written concurrence of US Sub or Parent and (ii) the failure, partial or total, of Adaytum to perform any agreement or covenant required by this Agreement to be performed by it other than any breach or related claim taken or not taken at the written direction of or after consultation with and written concurrence of US Sub or Parent and (iii) subject to the provisions of Schedule 10.1, any Tax liability, or asserted liability, of Adaytum attributable to periods (or any portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing other than Tax liabilities accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet and reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital. The foregoing right to indemnity will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification to which any Person may have in his or her capacity as an officer, director, employee, agent or any other capacity of Adaytum, and no stockholder of Adaytum will be entitled to any indemnification from Adaytum or the Surviving Corporation for amounts paid hereunder. There will be no right of contribution or subrogation from Parent, US Sub or the Surviving Corporation for indemnification payments made by or for the account of the stockholders of Adaytum. Any amounts received by US Sub shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration for the Merger.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Tax liability in Section 10.1(a)(iii) above, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date (including Taxes, if any, imposed on Adaytum pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the Code calculated as if the relevant Tax period of each subsidiary of Adaytum ended on the Closing Date). Any credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with reasonable past practice of Adaytum.

— 36 —

10.2 Third Party Claims. With respect to any claims or demands by third parties as to which US Sub may seek indemnification hereunder, other than claims or demands covered by Section 10.3, whenever US Sub will have received a written notice that such a claim or demand has been asserted or threatened, US Sub will promptly notify the Indemnification Representative (as designated in the Escrow Agreement) of such claim or demand and of the facts within US Sub’s knowledge that relate thereto within a reasonable time after receiving such written notice. The Indemnification Representative will then have the right to defend, contest, negotiate or settle any such claim or demand through counsel of his own selection, reasonably satisfactory to US Sub, and solely at the cost and expense of the stockholders of Adaytum. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnification Representative will not settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent of US Sub, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting US Sub’s right to object for other reasons, US Sub may object to a settlement or compromise which includes any provision which in its reasonable judgment may have an adverse impact on or establish an adverse precedent for the Business Condition of US Sub or Parent or any of its subsidiaries. If the Indemnification Representative gives notice to US Sub within twenty (20) calendar days after US Sub has notified the Indemnification Representative that any such claim or demand has been made in writing, that the Indemnification Representative elects to have US Sub defend, contest, negotiate, or settle any such claim or demand, then US Sub will have the right to contest and/or settle any such claim or demand and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X as to any Indemnifiable Amounts; provided, however, that US Sub will not settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent (which may include a general or limited consent) of the Indemnification Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnification Representative fails to give written notice to US Sub of his intention to contest or settle any such claim or demand within twenty (20) calendar days after US Sub has notified the Indemnification Representative that any such claim or demand has been made in writing, or if any such notice is given but any such claim or demand is not contested by the Indemnification Representative within a reasonable time thereafter, US Sub will have the right to contest and/or settle any such claim or demand in its sole discretion and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X as to any Indemnifiable Amounts; provided, however, that US Sub will not settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent (which may include a general or limited consent) of the Indemnification Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

10.3 Tax Contests. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, US Sub will have the right to conduct any Tax audit or other Tax contest relating to the Surviving Corporation. US Sub will conduct any such Tax audit or other Tax contest in good faith. With respect to any matters relating to such Tax audits or other Tax contests as to which US Sub may seek indemnification hereunder, US Sub shall provide the Indemnification Representative with copies of all correspondence with the relevant Governmental Entity regarding such matter, and shall consult with and allow the Indemnification Representative to comment upon such matter and shall not take any position (whether or not in writing) or make any written submission to any Governmental Entity without the consent of the Indemnification Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article X, US Sub will be entitled to indemnification only to the extent that the aggregate Indemnifiable Amounts exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). The aggregate amount to which US Sub will be entitled to be indemnified will not exceed the amount of Merger Consideration delivered to the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund will be US Sub’s sole source of funds with respect to any rights it has to be indemnified under this Article X.

— 37 —

10.5 Binding Effect. The indemnification obligations contained in this Article X are an integral part of this Agreement and the Merger in the absence of which US Sub would not have entered into this Agreement.

10.6 Time Limit. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Adaytum and the Principal Stockholders set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but any claims with respect thereto may be made only on or before the first yearly anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

10.7 Sole Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article X will be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, US Sub, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation for any damage, claim, cause of action or right of any nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the certificates or other documents executed or delivered herewith, or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement will be deemed to limit any right or remedy against a Person for that Person’s criminal activity or fraud.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

11.1 Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by the written consent of US Sub and Adaytum.

11.2 Termination by US Sub. This Agreement may be terminated by US Sub (provided that it is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement) alone, by means of written notice to Adaytum, if there has been a material breach by Adaytum or a Principal Stockholder of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or other ancillary agreements, which breach would result in a failure to satisfy the closing conditions contained in Section 9.2 and has not been cured within five (5) business days following receipt by Adaytum of written notice of such breach.

11.3 Termination by Adaytum. This Agreement may be terminated by Adaytum (provided that it is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement) alone, by means of written notice to US Sub, if there has been a material breach by Parent, US Sub or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Agreement or other ancillary agreements, which breach would result in a failure to satisfy the closing conditions contained in Section 9.3 and has not been cured within five (5) business days following receipt by US Sub of written notice of such breach.

11.4 Outside Date. This Agreement may be terminated by US Sub alone or by Adaytum alone by means of written notice if the Effective Time does not occur on or prior to February 28, 2003; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clause will not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a significant cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such date.

Such addresses may be changed, from time to time, by means of a notice given in the manner provided in this Section 12.3.

12.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it will be modified rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties to this Agreement to the extent possible. In any event, all other provisions of this Agreement will be deemed valid and enforceable to the full extent.

12.5 Assignment. No party to this Agreement may assign, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights, obligations, or liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Adaytum, Merger Sub, US Sub and Parent, which consent may be withheld in the absolute discretion of the party asked to grant such consent; provided however, that no such assignment which materially adversely affects the rights of a stockholder of Adaytum will be made without the written consent of such stockholder. Any attempted assignment by Merger Sub, US Sub or Parent, on the one hand, or by Adaytum, on the other hand, in violation of this Section 12.5 will be voidable and will entitle Adaytum or Parent, respectively, to terminate this Agreement at its option and provided, further, that Parent may assign its rights under this Agreement to US Sub without limitation.

12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more partially or fully executed counterparts each of which will be deemed an original and will bind the signatory, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. The execution and delivery of a Signature Page to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in the form annexed to this Agreement, including a facsimile copy of the actual signature, by any party hereto who will have been furnished the final form of this Agreement will constitute the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party.

12.7 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed by Adaytum, Merger Sub, US Sub and Parent; provided however, that no such amendment which materially adversely affects the rights or obligations of any stockholder of Adaytum will be made without the written consent of such stockholder.

12.8 Extension, Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party hereto to the party extending such time, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

12.9 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference will be to a Section, Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” when used therein will be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents, index to defined terms, and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.10 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge” (including any derivation thereof such as “know” or “knowing” and regardless of whether such word starts with an initial capital) in reference to Adaytum will mean the actual knowledge of the directors and officers of Adaytum, as well as any facts or information that such persons should have known after conducting a reasonable investigation.
