3.1 ORGANIZATION, STANDING AND POWER. Each of DeltaPoint and Merger Sub
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its organization. Each of DeltaPoint and Merger Sub has the corporate
power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted

Merger Sub. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by DeltaPoint

Merger Sub, as the case may
-15-
be, or (ii) any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or
instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree,
statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to DeltaPoint or
Merger Sub., as the case may be, or its properties or assets, except where
such conflict would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, waiver,
approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing
(the lack of which would have a Material Adverse Effect) with any
Governmental Entity or any third party is required by or with respect to
DeltaPoint or Merger Sub in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the performance by DeltaPoint or Merger Sub of their
respective obligations hereunder, except for those obtained prior to the
Closing.
3.3 SEC DOCUMENTS; DELTAPOINT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. DeltaPoint has
furnished or made available to IDC and Inlet true and complete copies of all
reports or registration statements filed by it with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") since June 1, 1997, all in the form so filed
(all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the "SEC DOCUMENTS").
As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"SECURITIES ACT") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"EXCHANGE ACT"), as the case may be, and none of the SEC Documents contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the
extent corrected by a document subsequently filed with the SEC. The financial
statements of DeltaPoint, including the notes thereto, included in the SEC
Documents (the "DELTAPOINT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS") comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in

of the SEC) and present fairly the consolidated financial position of DeltaPoint
at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements,
to normal audit adjustments).
3.4 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since the date of the balance sheet
included in DeltaPoint's most recently filed report on Form 10-K or 00-X,
XxxxxXxxxx has conducted its business in the ordinary course and there has not
occurred: (a) any material adverse change in the financial condition,

claim, arbitration or investigation threatened against DeltaPoint or any of the
properties or assets owned by DeltaPoint, or pending as to which DeltaPoint has
received any notice of assertion, which in any manner challenges or seeks to
prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement or, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect on DeltaPoint or requires reporting by DeltaPoint on
reports filed or to be filed with the SEC.
3.6 BROKERS AND FINDERS' FEES. DeltaPoint has not incurred, nor will
incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or
agents' commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or
any transaction contemplated hereby.

(a) The issuance of the shares of DeltaPoint Common Stock pursuant to
this Agreement are transactions exempt from the registration provisions under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
Upon issuance of the DeltaPoint Common Stock to be issued hereunder in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such shares shall be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by DeltaPoint and not
subject to preemptive rights created by statute, DeltaPoint's Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws or any agreement to which DeltaPoint is a party or by
which it is bound.
(b) Inlet understands that the DeltaPoint Common Stock to be received
by Inlet is characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from DeltaPoint in a
transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such DeltaPoint Common Stock may be resold without
registration under the Securites Act only in certain limited circumstances.
With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of
the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the DeltaPoint Common Stock to

(i) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act at all times;
and

documents required of DeltaPoint under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
3.8 CAPITAL STOCK OF DELTAPOINT AND MERGER SUB. The description of
capital stock of DeltaPoint set forth in DeltaPoint's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 dated October 7, 1997 is true and correct as of such date. At the

of Common Stock, 100 of which shares as of the date hereof are validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned by DeltaPoint free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances.
3.9 REORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIONS. Prior to the Merger, DeltaPoint will
be in control of Merger Sub within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code.

that would result in DeltaPoint losing control of Merger Sub within the meaning
of Section 368(c) of the Code. DeltaPoint has no plan or intention to reacquire
any of its stock issued in the Merger. DeltaPoint has no plan or intention to
liquidate
-17-
Merger Sub; to merge Merger Sub with and into another corporation; to sell or
otherwise dispose of the stock of Merger Sub; or to cause Merger Sub to sell
or otherwise dispose of any of its assets or any of the assets of IDC
acquired in the Merger, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course
of business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(c) of the Code.
Following the Merger, Merger Sub will continue the historic business of IDC
or use a significant portion of IDC's historic business assets in a business.
DeltaPoint and Merger Sub will pay their respective expenses, if any,
incurred in connection with the Merger. No two (2) parties to the
transaction are investment companies as defined in Section 368A(a)(2)(F)(iii)
and (iv) of the Code. No stock of Merger Sub will be issued in the Merger.
3.10 REPRESENTATIONS COMPLETE. None of the representations or warranties
made by DeltaPoint and Merger Sub (as modified by the DeltaPoint Disclosure

furnished by DeltaPoint or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, contains any
untrue statement of material fact, or omits to state any material fact necessary
in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the

will immediately notify DeltaPoint thereof, including information as to the
identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer or proposal and

other legal or equitable encumbrance with regard to any share or shares of the
IDC Stock.

(a) DeltaPoint agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to
make sales, license, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make disposition of the
CI Product (as defined below). After the First Customer Shipment (as defined
below), DeltaPoint will pay to Inlet royalties calculated at the rate of 5% of
Net Revenues (as defined below), if any, received by DeltaPoint for units of
CurrentIssue or successor products that include, or are based upon, fifty
percent (50%) or more of the form of CurrentIssue software code delivered to
DeltaPoint at the Closing (the "CI Product") sold, licensed, sublicensed or
distributed by DeltaPoint, any transferee of the rights to CurrentIssue or any
of their related or affiliated entities to unaffiliated third parties; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the foregoing royalty obligation shall terminate once Inlet has
received aggregate royalty payments of $4,000,000, in cash or its equivalent,
under the foregoing provisions. For purpose of this Section 4.6, the term
"FIRST CUSTOMER SHIPMENT" shall mean the first commercial shipment of the CI
Product by DeltaPoint or its agents or customers to any retail distributor or
other customer that is paying a license fee or purchase price therefor, and is
not an alpha or beta site evaluation customer of such product. For the purpose
of this Section 4.6, the term "NET REVENUES" shall mean actual cash receipts
less taxes (other than income taxes), duties, excises, other governmental
charges and fees of any kind and less refunds, credits and returns.
(b) Any royalty payment owed to Inlet pursuant to 4.6(a) shall be
paid to Inlet within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter
and DeltaPoint shall deliver to Inlet a good faith calculation setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount of the royalty payment made pursuant to Section
4.6(a). In the event that Inlet shall in good faith dispute the amount of such
payment, the parties shall hire an independent auditor to determine the
appropriate amount of the royalty payment. If the audit reveals that DeltaPoint
has underpaid Inlet on any quarterly payment date by an amount equal to the
greater of $1000 or five percent (5%) of the amount owed to Inlet on such date,
DeltaPoint shall pay the amount due within ten (10) days of the completion of
the audit and shall pay for the cost of the audit. If such audit does not
reveal that DeltaPoint underpaid Inlet by an amount equal to the greater of
$1000 or five percent (5%) of the amount owed to Inlet on such quarterly payment
date, Inlet shall pay for the cost of the audit and DeltaPoint shall not be
required to make any payments to Inlet or otherwise pursuant to such audit.
(c) Fifty percent (50%) of each payment made by DeltaPoint to Inlet
pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be made in DeltaPoint's Common Stock, valued
at the average closing price of such Common Stock over the ten (10) days
preceding each such payment or payments, as the case may be.
4.7 PUBLICITY. Except as contemplated by this Agreement and unless
otherwise required by law, the Nasdaq Stock Market or the Pacific Stock
Exchange, no press release or other publicity relating to the transactions
contemplated hereunder will be made by any party hereto without the prior
consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.8 LICENSE. DeltaPoint grants to Inlet, effective as of the Closing, a
perpetual site license for the CI Product solely for Inlet's internal
development use in its consulting business; provided, that Inlet agrees that
such license shall not be used by any party for the development and distribution
-22-
of web site creation and management tools; provided, further, that such
license shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Non-Competition
and Non-Solicitation Agreement to be executed and delivered by, among others,
Inlet at the Closing, regardless of the term of any such Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement.
4.9 TERMINATION OF CONSULTING AND OEM AGREEMENT. Other than any unpaid
monetary obligation due thereunder and notwithstanding the other provisions
thereof, the OEM Agreement and the Consulting Agreement entered into pending the
consummation of this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the Closing.
4.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time or from time to time after the
Closing, IDC and Inlet, as the case may be, agree to undertake all lawful
action(s) reasonably requested by DeltaPoint to more effectively transfer and
assign to, and vest in, DeltaPoint the Internet Technology.
4.11 LIABILITY FOR TAXES; TAX RETURNS. Inlet shall be liable, and
indemnify DeltaPoint, for all income Taxes imposed onIDC for any taxable year or
period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, including any Taxes imposed
pursuant to an audit, administrative or court proceeding, or the filing of an
amended return.
4.12 COOPERATION AND CONTEST PROVISIONS. DeltaPoint shall notify Inlet of
any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits,
examinations or assessments which may affect any Tax liability for which Inlet
is liable pursuant to Section 4.11. Inlet shall have the sole right to conduct
any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to a potential
liability for such Taxes and shall bear all costs and expenses of such audit or
examination. DeltaPoint shall not settle any Tax claim for which Inlet may be
liable under Section 4.11 without the prior written consent of Inlet, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any refund of Taxes of the type for
which Inlet has responsibility under Section 4.11 shall be the property of Inlet
and paid over to Inlet immediately upon receipt by DeltaPoint. DeltaPoint shall
not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates to, file any amended income Tax
return, report or election statement with respect to any year or period for
which Inlet has liability under Section 4.11, unless Inlet consents to such
filing.
4.13 FURTHER ACTION; TAX TREATMENT.
(a) The parties intend the Merger to qualify as a reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Code. Each party and its affiliates shall use
reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to so qualify, and shall comply with
the reporting requirements under Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-3.
(b) In the event of the issuance of final or temporary Treasury
regulations relating to the continuity of shareholder interest (proposed
regulations were issued in the Federal Register on December 23, 1996, which
would, among other things, add a new Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-1(e) to existing
regulations), the parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take
advantage of, and comply with, any provisions therein (such as an election
and/or reporting requirements) to the extent necessary to cause such regulations
to apply to the Merger.

-25-
6.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF DELTAPOINT. Inlet agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each of DeltaPoint and its affiliates for any claims, losses,
liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, and expenses of investigation and defense
(hereinafter individually a "LOSS" and collectively "LOSSES") incurred by
DeltaPoint or Merger Sub, their officers, directors, or affiliates directly
or indirectly as a result of (A) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation
or warranty of Inlet or IDC contained herein, (B) any failure by Inlet or IDC
to perform or comply with any covenant contained herein or (C) any Loss or
liability attributable to the activities of Inlet or IDC (including
obligations in respect of Taxes, employees and benefit plans); provided (i)
the indemnification obligation of Inlet under each of clause (A) and (C) (but
not clause (B)) of this Section 6.2 shall be limited to an amount equal to
the 360,000 shares of DeltaPoint Common Stock delivered to Inlet pursuant to
this Agreement multiplied by the closing price per share of DeltaPoint Common
Stock on the trading day preceding the Closing Date (the "Closing Date
Price") plus any cash payments payable to Inlet hereunder received or accrued
to the date of indemnification; and (ii) Inlet shall have no obligations
under this Section 6.2 until the aggregate Losses exceed $25,000, at which
time Inlet shall provide indemnification for all Losses subject to the other
limitations set forth above. There shall be no limit to the indemnification
obligation of Inlet under clause (B) of this Section 6.2. Inlet may satisfy
its indemnification obligation under this Section 6.2 in whole or part by
delivering to DeltaPoint or Merger Sub, or their affiliates, as applicable,
shares of the DeltaPoint Stock and shall be credited with respect to such
obligation based upon the Closing Date Price. As defined above, "LOSS" and
"LOSSES" shall exclude the amount of any tax benefit actually received by the
indemnified party as a result of such Losses, after taking into account the
tax consequences of any related indemnification payment made under this
Article VI in relation to such Losses. If such benefits have not yet been
actually received at the time for the payment of indemnification hereunder,
then the related Losses shall not exclude such benefit, but such benefit,
when received, shall be refunded to the indemnifying party. Other than as set
forth in this Section 6.2, Inlet shall not have any liability or obligation
for any Losses to DeltaPoint, Merger Sub or their affiliates.
6.3 MATERIALITY. For the purposes of determining the amount of Losses
under this Article VI, all representations and warranties of Inlet or IDC
contained herein or in any instrument, document or agreement contemplated hereby
shall be deemed to be without any materiality or Material Adverse Effect
exceptions or qualifications or any similar exceptions or qualifications that
may be present in such representations and warranties.
6.4 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any party hereto
shall incur any Loss or Losses in respect of which indemnity may be sought by
such party pursuant to this Article VI, the party from whom such indemnity may
be sought ("Indemnifying Party") shall be given written notice thereof by the
party seeking such indemnity ("Indemnified Party"), which notice shall specify
the amount and nature of such Loss or Losses and include the request of the
Indemnified Party for indemnification of such amount. If the Indemnifying Party
wishes to defend any claim for any Loss or Losses for which such Indemnifying
Party is or may be liable, and such Indemnifying Party first acknowledges
liability and establishes (to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified
Party) the
-26-
Indemnifying Party's financial ability to pay for any such Loss or
Losses, then such Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, defend such claim;
provided that the Indemnified Party may retain counsel (at the Indemnified
Party's expense) to monitor the defense of such claim, and may take over such
defense (at the Indemnifying Party's expense) if, during the course thereof, it
reasonably appears that the Indemnifying Party has lost its ability to pay for
any Loss or Losses threatened by such claim.
Amounts payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Part in
respect of any Loss or Losses for which any party is entitled to indemnification
hereunder, shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party as incurred by the
Indemnified Party upon the final determination, either by mutual agreement of
the parties hereto or pursuant to the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
6.5 THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. In the event DeltaPoint becomes aware of a
third-party claim which DeltaPoint believes may result in Losses, DeltaPoint
shall notify Inlet of such claim, and Inlet shall be entitled, at its own
expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. DeltaPoint shall have
the right in its sole discretion, using reasonable business judgment, to
settle any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of
Inlet, the amount of the settlement of any such claim with third-party
claimants shall not be determinative of the amount of any claim under this
Article VI. In the event that Inlet has consented to any such settlement,
Inlet shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this
Agreement to the amount of any claim by DeltaPoint under this Article VI with
respect to such settlement to the extent that such amount is consistent with
the terms of such settlement.
6.6 INDEMNIFICATION OF INLET. DeltaPoint agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Inlet for any Losses incurred by it directly or indirectly as a result
of (A) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of DeltaPoint or
Merger Sub contained herein or in any instrument, document or agreement
contemplated hereby, (B) any failure by DeltaPoint or Merger Sub to perform or
comply with any covenant contained herein or (C) any Loss or liability
attributable to activities of DeltaPoint or Merger Sub occurring after the
Closing Date; provided (i) that the indemnification obligation of DeltaPoint
under this Section 6.6 shall be limited to the sum of (x) the total cash
consideration payable, but not yet paid, to Inlet pursuant to this Agreement and
(y) the product obtained by multiplying the 360,000 shares of DeltaPoint Common
Stock to which Inlet is entitled to pursuant to this Agreement by the Closing
Date Price; and (ii) that DeltaPoint shall have no indemnification obligations
under this Section 6.6 until the aggregate Losses exceed $25,000, at which time
DeltaPoint shall indemnify for all Losses subject only to the limitations
imposed by provisions (i) and (ii) above.
