AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 23, 2005 by and among Altiris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Augusta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), Pedestal Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and, with respect to ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE IX hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Stockholder Representative”).

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of each of Parent, Sub and the Company believe it is in the best interests of its corporation and its respective stockholders that Parent acquire the Company through the statutory merger of Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger.

B. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein.

C. A portion of the consideration otherwise payable by Parent in connection with the Merger shall be placed in escrow by Parent as security for the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.

D. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

E. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Parent to enter into this Agreement, certain employees of the Company are entering into (i) a Non-Competition Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Non-Competition Agreements”) and (ii) an Option Amendment in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Option Amendments”).

F. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall solicit and obtain the Stockholder Written Consent (as provided in Section 5.5 hereof) from the Stockholders holding at least 95% of the Company Capital Stock, on an as converted to Company Common Stock basis, including the Principal Stockholders, setting forth the due approval and adoption of (i) the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the escrow and indemnification obligations of the Stockholders set forth in ARTICLE VII hereof and the deposit of the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Fund, and (iii) the appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the Stockholder Representative.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereby agree as follows (unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 9.1 hereof):

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 The Closing and the Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI, at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”), as required by and executed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as may be agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action

-2-

on the part of Sub or the Company, to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Pedestal Software, Inc.”

(b) Bylaws. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Sub or the Company, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

1.5 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director or officer of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as applicable. The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to appoint the directors of the Surviving Corporation to the board of directors of Pedestal International, Inc. effective immediately after the Effective Time.

1.6 Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock and Options of the Company and Sub.

(a) Effect on Capital Stock of the Company. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Sub, the Company or the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.9 hereof), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.6 and throughout this Agreement, including, without limitation, the escrow provisions set forth in ARTICLE VII hereof, will be canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.7 hereof, that portion of the Cash Consideration as set forth below:

(i) Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the sum of (A) the amount of Cash Consideration that would be payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii) in respect of such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock if such share had been converted into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and (B) the Per Share Series B Liquidation Preference Payment.

(ii) Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an

-3-

amount of cash equal to the sum of (A) the amount of Cash Consideration that would be payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii) in respect of such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if such share had been converted into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and (B) the Per Share Series A Liquidation Preference Payment.

(iii) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Closing Per Share Cash Consideration.

(iv) Calculations. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash to be paid to each Stockholder and holder of vested Company Options pursuant to this Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(b), respectively, all shares of Company Capital Stock of the same class or series held by each Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate basis, and all vested Company Options held by each holder of vested Company Options shall be aggregated. The amount of cash to be paid to each Stockholder for each share (after certificate-by-certificate aggregation) held shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and the amount of cash to be paid to each holder of vested Company Options for each vested Company Option (after aggregating all vested Company Options) held shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(b) Cash-Out of Vested Company Options.

(i) The portion of each Company Option that is vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, contingent on the consummation of the Merger, terminate in exchange for the right to receive, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock underlying such vested Company Option, the Per Share Cash Consideration less the exercise price payable in respect of such vested Company Option and less any applicable withholding taxes. Such amount shall be paid to the holders of such vested Company Options promptly after the Closing.

(ii) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall have taken such actions prior to or as of the Effective Time as are reasonable and appropriate to effect the provisions of this Section 1.6(b), including, without limitation, furnishing to holders of vested Company Options a description of the treatment of vested Company Options in connection with the Merger.

(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Options, the portion of each Company Option that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent and each Unvested Company Option shall become an option to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except (i) that such assumed Unvested Company Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock)

-4-

obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio (as defined herein), and (ii) that the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Unvested Company Options shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock for which the Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio. The form and substance of any communications to Optionholders from the Company shall be subject to advance review and approval of Parent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

(ii) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall have taken such actions prior to or as of the Effective Time as are reasonable and appropriate to effect the provisions of this Section 1.6(c), including, without limitation, (A) taking such actions as may be required to confirm that Parent’s Board of Directors shall, effective as of the Effective Time, become the administrator of the Plan with respect to the assumed Unvested Company Options, and (B) furnishing to holders of Unvested Company Options a description of the treatment of such options in connection with the Merger.

(iii) Following the Effective Time, Parent will be able to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible by applicable law and Nasdaq regulations, under the terms of the Company Plan or the terms of another plan adopted by Parent to issue the reserved but unissued shares of Company Common Stock under such Company Plan and the shares that would otherwise return to such Company Plan pursuant to the cancellation, termination or expiration of awards granted thereunder or upon the repurchase of shares previously acquired with respect to awards granted thereunder, except that (i) stock covered by such awards will be shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) all references to a number of shares of Company Common Stock will be (A) changed to reference Parent Common Stock and (B) converted to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) Repurchase Rights. With respect to any shares of Company Unvested Capital Stock for which the repurchase right, risk of forfeiture or other similar condition is not terminated as of the Effective Time, then, the amounts payable with respect to such shares of Company Unvested Capital Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6(a) shall be withheld and retained by Parent, and shall be permanently retained by Parent upon forfeiture by the holder of such shares of Company Unvested Capital Stock on the same terms that governed such Company Unvested Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall hold the Cash Consideration so withheld in trust for the benefit of such holder of shares of Company Unvested Capital Stock until such right, risk of forfeiture or other similar condition expires or is otherwise extinguished at which time a pro rata portion of such withheld Cash Consideration will be distributed to such holder of the applicable Company Unvested Capital Stock.

-5-

(e) Withholding Taxes. The Company, and on its behalf, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Capital Stock or Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, local or foreign tax law or under any applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of Common Stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. The Secretary of Parent, or an institution selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, shall serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Merger.

(b) Parent to Provide Cash Consideration. At the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE I the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock and Parent shall deposit into the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 7.4(a) hereof) an amount of the Cash Consideration equal to the Escrow Amount. The amount deposited by Parent into the Escrow Fund with respect to each Stockholder shall be his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund, rounded to the nearest cent (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up). If the sum of the Pro Rata Portions (each rounded to the nearest cent) for all Stockholders does not equal the Escrow Amount, then the appropriate amount will be added to or subtracted from the Pro Rata Portion of one or more Stockholder(s) such that the sum of the rounded Pro Rata Portions does equal the Escrow Amount.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the portion of the Cash Consideration payable upon surrender of said Certificates. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto (x), the holders of such Certificates formerly representing the Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) that portion of the Cash Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof and (B) their right to receive payments from the Escrow

-6-

Fund, if any, upon the termination of the Escrow Fund in accordance with Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled and (y) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Agent distribute, no later than five Business Days following the receipt of such Certificates and duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, the amount of Cash Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to clause (x)(A) above. Until so surrendered, each Company Stock Certificate outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Cash Consideration in exchange for shares of Company Capital Stock (without interest) into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been so converted. No portion of the Cash Consideration will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate and the executed exchange documents required by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.7(c).

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any portion of the Cash Consideration is to be disbursed pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof to any Person other than the Person whose name is reflected on a Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that the certificate 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 or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by payment of any portion of the Cash Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Exchange Agent to Return Merger Consideration. At any time following the last day of the sixth (6th) month following the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent or its designated successor or assign all amounts of the Cash Consideration that have been deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.7(b) hereof, and any and all dividends, distributions, interest or other income or proceeds thereof, not disbursed to the holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.7(c) hereof, and thereafter the holders of Certificates shall be entitled to look to Parent (subject to the terms of Section 1.7(f) hereof) with respect to any and all cash amounts that may be payable to such holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof upon the due surrender of such Certificates and duly executed exchange documents required by Parent in accordance with Section 1.7(c) hereof in the manner set forth in Section 1.7(c) hereof.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.8 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The portion of the Cash Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof and the right to receive payments from the Escrow Fund, if any,

-7-

upon the termination of the Escrow Fund in accordance with Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement, shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE I.

1.9 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, any portion of the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Company Capital Stock under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any portion of the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 1.7(c), of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Capital Stock.

The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such plans, policies and arrangements as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that distribution or rollover of assets from the trust of a 401(k) plan which is terminated is reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges, or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon the Company or the plan sponsor, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
