bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

Options to be surrendered by such WinZip Optionholder; and (ii) the terms
associated with the Corel Options to be issued to each WinZip Optionholder

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS
AND AGREEMENTS OF THE SELLER
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the Seller represents
and warrants, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for
purposes of Article IX, only as to the matters expressly set forth in this
Article III. Disclosure of an item anywhere on the Disclosure Schedule shall be
deemed to be disclosure of such item with respect to, and therefore to qualify
each representation and warranty contained in, each Section and subsection in
this Article III where such qualification is reasonably apparent from the text
of the disclosure; provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether
the Seller has committed a fraudulent breach of a representation or warranty,
such qualification need not be reasonably apparent from the text of the
disclosure. Representations and warranties shall be deemed to be qualified by
the items set forth in the Disclosure Schedule even if they do not expressly use
the phrase "except as set forth in Part ___ of the Disclosure Schedule" (or
phrases of similar import). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article
III, the only representations and warranties made by the Seller relating,
directly or indirectly, to intellectual property assets or intellectual property
issues (including the Owned Intellectual Property), including, but not limited
to, any agreements, licenses, liabilities, ownership, performance, software
"bugs", design flaws, security vulnerabilities, warranties as to
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or suitability of software,
title or infringement issues, or rights or authority or any other matters
relating thereto, are made in Section 3.13 hereof. The inclusion of any direct
or indirect reference to intellectual property assets or issues, or rights or
authority relating thereto, in any Part of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be
deemed to have the effect or to imply that any provision of this Article III
(other than Section 3.13) contains representations and warranties pertaining to
intellectual property assets or issues.
Section 3.01 Organization and Qualification. Each WinZip Entity is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and authority to own its
properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each WinZip
Entity is in good standing in each other jurisdiction wherein the failure to
qualify or to be in good standing could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Part 3.01 of the Disclosure
Schedule, WinZip Holdings does not have any subsidiaries, own any capital stock
or other proprietary interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person, nor
have any agreement with any Person to acquire any such capital stock or other
proprietary interest. Accurate and complete copies of the articles of
incorporation, including all amendments thereto and restatements thereof, and
by-laws (or other similar organizational documents, as applicable) of each
WinZip Entity and of the corporate minutes and the stock record books of each
WinZip Entity have been delivered to the Purchaser. Complete and accurate
records with respect to the issuance, transfer, redemption and cancellation of
all shares of capital stock are set forth in such stock record books.
Section 3.02 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement. The Seller and
WinZip Holdings have all power, capacity and authority necessary to enter into
and to perform their obligations under this Agreement and each Transaction
Document to which they are party. This Agreement and each Transaction Document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
-3-
the Seller and WinZip Holdings, enforceable against the Seller and WinZip
Holdings in accordance with their terms, subject to (i) Laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and
(ii) Laws governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable
remedies.
Section 3.03 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or any Transaction Document by WinZip Holdings and the Seller, nor,
the performance by WinZip Holdings and the Seller pursuant hereto or thereto,
will (a) violate the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar
organizational documents of any WinZip Entity, (b) result in a violation or
breach of, or permit any third party to rescind any term or provision of, or
constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
Contract, license or other agreement to which the Seller, the Company or any
other WinZip Entity is a party or by which either of them, or any of the
property or assets of the Company or any other WinZip entity, is bound, or
create any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any other
WinZip Entity, (c) violate any Law, order, award, judgment, or decree applicable
to or binding on the Seller, the Company or any other WinZip Entity, or any
permit, license or approval of any Governmental Authority which is material to
the operation of the business, or (d) require any notice to, or consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or the registration, declaration or filing
with, any Governmental Authority or other third party.

(a) The authorized and outstanding shares of each class of capital
stock of WinZip Holdings are as set forth on Part 3.04(a) of the Disclosure
Schedule. As of the Closing Date, the Seller will own all of the shares of stock
set forth opposite the Seller's name in Column C on Annex B, free and clear of
all Liens (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise
dispose of such shares). As of the Closing Date, the Seller will have the
unrestricted right to transfer the WinZip Shares to the Purchaser and, upon
transfer of the WinZip Shares to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser shall

all Liens. The WinZip Shares constitute all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of all classes of WinZip Holdings. All of the WinZip Shares have been duly
and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable. WinZip
Holdings, either directly or indirectly, owns all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock (or other equity interests, as applicable) of each other
WinZip Entity, including, without limitation, the Company.
(b) Other than the WinZip Options, there are no outstanding
subscriptions, warrants, options, calls, commitments or other rights or
agreements to which any WinZip Entity is subject to or bound relating to the
issuance, sale, transfer or redemption of shares of stock or other securities of
any WinZip Entity.

Company free and clear of any Encumbrances, except for any lien for current
Taxes not yet due and payable. There are no assets that are material to the

Intellectual Property.
Section 3.11 Real Property.
(a) The Company does not own, and has never owned, any real property.
(b) Part 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule lists: (i) the street address
of each parcel of real property leased by the Company as tenant, together with,

facilities or improvements currently located thereon, all fixtures, systems,
equipment and items of personal property of the Company attached or appurtenant
thereto, and all easements, licenses, rights and appurtenances relating to the
foregoing (the "Leased Real Property"), (ii) the identity of the lessor, lessee
and current occupant (if different from lessee) of each such parcel of Leased
Real Property, (iii) the term (referencing applicable renewal periods) and
rental payment terms of the leases (and any subleases) pertaining to each such

Leased Real Property.
(c) Except as described on Part 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, there
is no material violation of any Law (including, without limitation, any

The Seller has made available to the Purchaser true and correct copies of each
deed for each parcel of Leased Real Property, to the extent available, and all
the title insurance policies, title reports, surveys, certificates of occupancy,
environmental reports and audits, appraisals, permits, other title documents and
other documents relating to or otherwise affecting the Leased Real Property, the
operation of the Business thereon or any other uses thereof, in each case to the
extent any such document is in any WinZip Entity's possession. The Company is in
peaceful and undisturbed possession of each parcel of Leased Real Property and
there are no contractual or legal restrictions that preclude or restrict the
ability to use the premises for the purposes for which they are currently being
used. To the Seller's knowledge, all existing water, sewer, steam, gas,
electricity, telephone and other utilities required for the use, occupancy and
operation of the Leased Real Property are adequate for the conduct of the
Business as it has been and currently is conducted. To the Seller's knowledge,
there are no material latent defects or material adverse physical conditions
affecting the Leased Real Property or any of the facilities, buildings,

Leased Real Property to any other Person, nor has the Company assigned its
interest under any lease or sublease listed on Part 3.11 of the Disclosure
Schedule to any third party.
(d) The Seller has, or has caused to be, delivered to the Purchaser
correct and complete copies of all leases and subleases listed on Part 3.11 of
the Disclosure Schedule and
-7-
any and all ancillary documents pertaining thereto. With respect to each of such
leases and subleases, except as otherwise set forth on Part 3.11 of the
Disclosure Schedule:
(i) such lease or sublease, together with all ancillary
documents, is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect
and represents the entire agreement between the respective landlord and tenant
with respect to such property;
(ii) such lease or sublease will not cease to be legal, valid,
binding, enforceable and in full force and effect on terms identical to those
currently in effect as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, nor
will the consummation of the Transactions constitute a breach or default under
such lease or sublease or otherwise give the landlord a right to terminate such
lease or sublease;
(iii) with respect to each such lease or sublease: (A) neither
the Seller nor any WinZip Entity has received any notice of cancellation or
termination under such lease or sublease and no lessor has any right of
termination or cancellation under such lease or sublease except in connection
with the default of the Company thereunder, (B) neither the Seller nor any
WinZip Entity has received any notice of a breach or default under such lease or
sublease, which breach or default has not been cured, and (C) the Company has
not granted any other Person any rights, adverse or otherwise, under such lease
or sublease; and
(iv) neither the Company nor to the knowledge of the Seller any
other party to such lease or sublease, is in breach or default thereunder in any
material respect, and, to the knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred
that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default or
permit termination, modification or acceleration under such lease or sublease.
(e) There are no condemnation proceedings or eminent domain
proceedings of any, kind pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened
against any of the Leased Real Property.
(f) All the Leased Real Property is occupied under a valid and current
certificate of occupancy or similar permit, the Transactions will not require
the issuance of any new or amended certificate of occupancy and, to the
knowledge of the Seller, there are no facts that would prevent the Leased Real
Property from being occupied after the Closing in the same manner as immediately
prior to the Closing.
(g) All improvements on the Leased Real Property constructed by or on
behalf of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Seller, constructed by or on
behalf of any other Person were constructed in compliance with all applicable
Laws (including, but not limited to, any building, planning or zoning Laws)
affecting such Leased Real Property.
Section 3.12 Intellectual Property.
(a) Part 3.12 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and
accurate list of all Registered Owned Intellectual Property and specifies, where
applicable, the jurisdictions in which each such item of Registered Owned
Intellectual Property has been issued or registered and lists any pending
proceedings or actions before any court, tribunal (including the United
-8-
States Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent authority anywhere in the
world) related to any of the Registered Owned Intellectual Property.
(b) Except as disclosed on Part 3.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, all
necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees currently due in connection
with Registered Owned Intellectual Property have been made and all necessary
documents, recordations and certificates in connection with such Registered
Owned Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright,
trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as
the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such Registered Owned
Intellectual Property. There are no actions that must be taken by the Company
within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, including the payment of any
registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any documents,
applications or certificates for the purposes of maintaining, perfecting or
preserving or renewing any Registered Owned Intellectual Property.
(c) All the Owned Intellectual Property is owned by the Company free
and clear of any Encumbrance and, except as set forth on Part 3.12 of the
Disclosure Schedule, none of the Owned Intellectual Property infringes on the
Intellectual Property of any other Person; provided, however, that, in the case
of trademarks, the representations and warranties set forth in the first
sentence of this Section 3.12(c) are made to the knowledge of the Seller. To the
knowledge of the Seller, and except as set forth on Part 3.12 of the Disclosure
Schedule, no Person is using any Intellectual Property that infringes upon the
Owned Intellectual Property.

and all Losses caused by or resulting or arising from (i) the breach by WinZip
