Article 2.
Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates

Section 2.1            Conversion of Securities.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

Section 2.1.1        Conversion Generally.  Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1.2), including the associated rights of the Company (the “Company Rights”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated as of June 24, 1999, between the Company and BankBoston, N.A., as Rights Agent, as amended to date (the “Company Rights Agreement”), shall be converted, subject to Section 2.2.5, into the right to receive 0.0510 of a share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), of Parent (the “Exchange Ratio”).  All such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall

2

thereafter represent the right to receive a certificate representing the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Company Common Stock was converted in the Merger.  Certificates previously representing shares of Company Common Stock shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2, without interest.  No fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued, and in lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2.5 hereof.

Section 2.1.2      Cancellation of Certain Shares.  Each share of Company Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub, any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, in the treasury of the Company or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

Section 2.1.3      Merger Sub.  Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.1.4      Change in Shares.  If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

Section 2.2            Exchange of Certificates.

Section 2.2.1      Exchange Agent.  As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (such certificates for shares of Parent Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.  The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Parent Common Stock contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund.  Except as contemplated by Section 2.2.5 hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Section 2.2.2      Exchange Procedures.  Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (B) instructions for use in

3

effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock.  Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder), cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.3, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.3.

Section 2.2.3      Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Common Stock.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2.5, unless and until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.  Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) promptly, the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.2.4      Further Rights in Company Common Stock.  All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.2.3 or Section 2.2.5) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

4

Section 2.2.5      Fractional Shares.  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Parent.

Section 2.2.5.1             As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the difference between (A) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.2.1 and (B) the aggregate number of full shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2.2 (such difference being the “Excess Shares”).  As soon after the Effective Time as practicable, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of Parent Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on NASDAQ, all in the manner provided in this Section 2.2.5.

Section 2.2.5.2             The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on NASDAQ and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable.  Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to such holders of Company Common Stock, the Exchange Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for such holders of Company Common Stock as part of the Exchange Fund.  The Company shall pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales of Excess Shares.  In addition, the Company shall pay the Exchange Agent’s compensation and expenses in connection with such sale or sales.  The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of Company Common Stock shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Company Common Stock is entitled (after taking into account all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Company Common Stock are entitled.

Section 2.2.5.3             As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Company Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders of Company Common Stock subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2.3.

Section 2.2.6      Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock on the date that is six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.3, in each case, without any interest thereon.

Section 2.2.7      No Liability.  Neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any such shares of Parent Common

5

Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.2.8      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 Parent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.3, in each case, without any interest thereon.

Section 2.2.9      Withholding.  Parent, the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Rights such amounts as Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Rights in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3            Stock Transfer Books.  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 Company Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.  On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into the shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.3.

Section 2.4            Stock Options.

Section 2.4.1        At the Effective Time, all unexercised and unexpired options to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Options”) then outstanding, under any stock option plan of the Company, including the 1995 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Director Option Plan, the 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Company Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable, will be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Company Option”).  Each Assumed Company Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Stock Option Plan applicable to such Assumed Company Option and any agreements thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) each Assumed Company Option will be

6

exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Option, will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Assumed Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.  Continuous employment with the Company or its subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all Assumed Company Options after the Effective Time.  Parent will assume the Company Stock Option Plans at the Effective Time, provided, however, that following the Effective Time, Parent will issue awards, if any, only under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  The 1995 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Director Option Plan and the 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan will be assumed pursuant to the preceding sentence solely for purposes of governing the Assumed Company Options following the Effective Time that were previously issued pursuant to the terms of such plans.

Section 2.4.2        If and to the extent necessary or required by the terms of any Company Stock Option Plan or any Company Option, the Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take such actions as the Company deems necessary (subject to the prior approval of Parent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5         Warrants.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, each unexercised and unexpired warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Converted Warrant”) on terms substantially similar in form and substance to those in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of each such Company Warrant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of the Company Warrants, from and after the Effective Time, (A) each such Converted Warrant may be exercised solely to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock, (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Converted Warrant shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise under the corresponding Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (C) the per share exercise price under such Converted Warrant shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the corresponding Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Section 3.18.2    Sufficiency.  All of the material Intellectual Property Rights owned or licensed by the Company and each Company Subsidiary are collectively referred to herein as the “Material Intellectual Property.”  The Material Intellectual Property constitutes all Intellectual Property Rights necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as presently conducted, except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or that would materially limit or restrict the ability of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to use, exploit, assert or enforce any of the Material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world.

Section 3.18.3    Ownership.  Except as set forth in Section 3.18.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries owns all the rights, title and interest in and to the Material Intellectual Property, free and clear of liens (other than Permitted Liens), or has a valid and enforceable right or license to use the Material Intellectual Property used in the conduct of the business of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.  Such licensed Material Intellectual Property will not cease to be valid and enforceable rights of the Company or any Company Subsidiary by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to hold such right, title and interest, or to have a valid and enforceable right or license to use, or the effect thereon of this Agreement, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or that would materially limit or restrict the ability of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to use, exploit, assert or enforce any of the Material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world. Without limiting the foregoing, the owned Material Intellectual

21

Property has been: (A) developed by employees of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, within the scope of their employment; (B) developed by independent contractors who have assigned their rights to the Company or a Company Subsidiary pursuant to enforceable written agreements; or (C) otherwise acquired by the Company or a Company Subsidiary from a third party who assigned all Intellectual Property Rights and technology it has developed to the Company or such Company Subsidiary, except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or that would materially limit or restrict the ability of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to use, exploit, assert or enforce any of the Material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world.

Section 3.18.4    Absence of Claims; Non-infringement.  Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or that would materially limit or restrict the ability of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to use, exploit, assert or enforce any of the Material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world, and except as set forth in Section 3.18.4 of the Company Disclosure Schedule:  (A) no proceedings, claims, or actions have been instituted or are pending against the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened, that challenge the right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to the use or ownership of the Material Intellectual Property; (B) no interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other proceeding is or has been pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of any of the Material Intellectual Property is being, has been, or could reasonably be expected to be contested or challenged; (C) to the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s past nor present use of the Material Intellectual Property infringes upon or misappropriates, breaches or otherwise conflicts with the rights of any other person anywhere in the world; (D) the Company has not received any notice alleging, and otherwise has no knowledge of any claim of invalidity or unenforceability of, or limitation on the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s right to use, any of the Material Intellectual Property, or the alleged infringement, misappropriation or breach of any rights of others by the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (E) no person has notified the Company that it is claiming any ownership of or right to use any Material Intellectual Property; (F) the Material Intellectual Property is not subject to any outstanding judgment, decree, order, writ, award, injunction or determination of an arbitrator or court or other Governmental Entity affecting the rights of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect thereto; and (G) to the knowledge of the Company, no person has interfered with, infringed upon or misappropriated any of the Material Intellectual Property, or is currently doing so.

Section 3.18.5    Licenses to Third Parties.  Section 3.18.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all contracts pursuant to which any person has been granted any license under, or otherwise has received or acquired any right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest in, the Material Intellectual Property or containing any covenant or other provision that materially limits or restricts the ability of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to use, exploit, assert, or enforce any of the Material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world.  Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is bound by any agreement to indemnify any other person for Intellectual Property Rights infringement, misappropriation, or similar claim, except for indemnities offered in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Section 3.18.7    Standard Form IP Agreements.  The Company has provided to Parent a true and complete copy of each standard form of contract used by the Company or any Company Subsidiary at any time for the license of the Material Intellectual Property or the sale of products by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including each standard form of (A) end user license agreement; (B) development agreement; (C) distributor or reseller agreement; (D) employee, consulting or independent contractor agreement containing intellectual property, assignment or license of Material Intellectual Property or any confidentiality provision; and (E) confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement.

53

financial advisors, that it is required to take such actions in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, or (z) in the event that a Superior Proposal is made and the Company Board concludes in good faith, after the receipt of advice of outside legal counsel and nationally recognized financial advisors, that it is required to take such actions in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, from making a Company Adverse Recommendation change no earlier than five (5) business days following the day of delivery of written notice to Parent of its intention to do so, so long as the Company continues to comply with all other provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 5.5.1 and Section 7.2.3 hereof.

Section 5.9            Parent Board.  The Parent Board shall take all necessary action to cause the full Parent Board at the Effective Time to consist of no more than nine (9) directors and to include two (2) persons (to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent prior to the Effective Time) who are currently directors of the Company, such individuals to serve in the class of directors the term of which will expire at the annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent in 2010.  In the event that either of these individuals ceases to be a director of the Company prior to the Effective Time or otherwise is unable or unwilling to serve on the Parent Board immediately following the Effective Time, the Company shall recommend a replacement member, subject to the reasonable approval of Parent.

Section 5.10         Certain Notices.  From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (A) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be reasonably likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (B) the failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not cure any breach of any

55

representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.11         Public Announcements.  Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the Merger and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with NASDAQ.

Section 5.13         Employee Benefit Matters.

Section 5.13.1    Parent intends to provide (or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide) to all employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (the “Company Employees”) who continue their employment with Parent or any Parent Subsidiary following the Effective Time with base salary rates, cash bonus target opportunities and employee benefits (other than equity plan benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to that provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary; provided, that it will not be a violation of this Section 5.13.1 if Parent provides base salary rates, cash bonus target opportunities and/or employee benefits (other than equity plan benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to that provided to the Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.  With respect to any employee benefit plan or program maintained by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any of the Company Employees will participate effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize all service of the Company Employees with the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, for purposes of vacation and severance and participation in, but not for purposes of benefit accrual, any Parent Benefit Plan.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the acquisition by any officer or director of the Company who may become a covered person of Parent for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Section 16”) of shares of Parent Common Stock or options to acquire Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

Section 5.13.2    Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 5.13, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, (A) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Parent Benefit Plan or any Company Benefit Plan, or (B) shall limit the right of Parent or the Company to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Parent Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan following the Effective Time.

56

Section 5.13.3    For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide severance payments and benefits to Company Employees on a basis that is comparable to similarly situated employees of Parent or a Parent Subsidiary, and for purposes thereof, a Company Employee’s service with the Company shall be treated as service with Parent.

Section 5.13.4    Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.13 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, and that nothing herein, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other person, including, without limitation, any current or former employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment with Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates.

Section 5.14             Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 5.14.1    From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company and the Surviving Corporation to, assume the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities, including advancement of expenses, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company or of a Company Subsidiary (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) as provided in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws or in any written indemnification contract between such directors or officers and the Company (in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement), without further action, and such obligations shall survive the Merger (prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub to reflect such provisions) and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the provisions with respect to rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities of directors and officers contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

Section 5.14.2    For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time (and for so long thereafter as any claims arising from acts or omission occurring at or prior to the Effective Time are being adjudicated), the Surviving Corporation shall provide to the Company’s current and former directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy (true and complete copies which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, which premium the Company represents and warrants to be approximately $265,635; provided, further, that in the event that the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance shall exceed 200% of the current aggregate annual premium, then Parent shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable

57

individuals with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium of 200% of the current aggregate annual premium (but in no event shall such coverage be less than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage then provided by Parent to its directors and officers).  The provisions of this Section 5.14 shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time for purposes of this Section 5.14, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, without limitation, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.  The obligations under this Section 5.14 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.14 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.14 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.14).

Section 5.14.3    In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (A) 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 (B) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.14.

Section 5.15       Plan of Reorganization.  The parties hereto intend that the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and will report it as such for federal, state and local income tax purposes.  Each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any actions or cause any actions to be taken which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the officers’ certificates and to obtain the opinion referred to in Section 6.3.3 hereto.

Section 5.16       Company Rights Agreement.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will not (A) redeem the Company Rights, (B) amend the Company Rights Agreement, other than to extend the Final Expiration Date (as such term is defined in the Company Rights Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not extend the Final Expiration Date to a date that is after the Outside Date, (C) take any action which would allow any person (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement) other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Subsidiary to acquire beneficial ownership (for purposes of this Section 5.16, as defined in the Company Rights Agreement) of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (17.5% with respect to Computer Associates International, Inc., pursuant to the November 28, 2000 amendment to the Company Rights Agreement) without causing a Distribution Date or a Triggering Event (as each such term is defined in the Company Rights Agreement) to occur.

Section 5.17       Delisting.  Parent shall cause the Company Common Stock to be de-listed from NASDAQ and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.
