ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.01 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.02), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the GBCC, Merger Sub shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company.

1.02 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing (as defined in Section 1.07), the Company will cause a Certificate of Merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.02 (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be duly executed, acknowledged and filed, in the manner required by the GBCC, with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, and the parties shall take such other and further actions as may be required by law to make the Merger effective. The date and time the Merger becomes effective in accordance with applicable law is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

1.03 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein, in the Certificate of Merger and in the GBCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.04 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended; provided that such Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to reflect that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “MAPICS, Inc.”

(b) The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until duly amended.

1.05 Directors.

The date on which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

1.08 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or Merger Sub, the Company and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments and assurances in law and to take all acts necessary, proper or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized in the name of the Company to take any and all such action.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK

OF THE COMPANY AND MERGER SUB

2.01 Effect on Shares of Capital Stock.

(a) Common Shares of the Company. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Common Shares, the Company or Merger Sub, each Common Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Dissenting Shares, and (ii) those Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive $12.75 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof, without interest or dividends thereon, less any applicable withholding of taxes, in the manner provided in Section 2.03. All such Common Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and each holder of a certificate or certificates representing any such Common Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in the preceding sentence.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Common Shares. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Common Shares, the Company or Merger Sub, each Common Share that is owned by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary as treasury stock or otherwise or owned by Merger Sub or Infor or any of their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. As of the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of Merger Sub Common Stock, the Company or Merger Sub, be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”). Each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and outstanding shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the shares of the Surviving Corporation capital stock into which such shares have been converted pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the record holder thereof shall receive, upon surrender of any such certificate, a certificate representing the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock into which the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock formerly represented thereby shall have been converted pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) who timely delivers to the Company such holder’s notice of intent to demand payment for such holder’s shares if the Merger is effected, thereafter does not vote in favor of the Merger or consent thereto in writing and who otherwise properly demands appraisal for such Common Shares in accordance with the GBCC (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.01(a) hereof, but shall represent and become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the GBCC. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such former Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive, upon surrender as provided above, the Merger Consideration, without any interest or dividends thereon, in accordance with Section 2.01(a). The Company shall give Merger Sub prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Common Shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the GBCC and received by the Company, and Merger Sub shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, except with the prior written consent of Merger Sub, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.02 Options; Warrants; Stock Plans.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Option” means each outstanding unexercised option to purchase Common Shares, whether or not then vested or fully exercisable, granted on or prior to the date hereof to any current or former employee or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any other person, whether under any stock option plan or otherwise (including, without limitation, under the Marcam Corporation 1994 Stock Plan, as amended; the Marcam Corporation Amended and Restated 1987 Stock Plan, as amended; the MAPICS, Inc. Amended and Restated 1998 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “DSIP”); the MAPICS, Inc. Amended and Restated 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended; the MAPICS, Inc. Amended and Restated 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended; the Symix Systems, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees and Directors, as amended; and the Frontstep, Inc. 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, as amended) (collectively, the “Stock Plans”).

(b) The Company shall take all actions necessary so that (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Option granted under the Stock Plans held by those holders of record listed on the Option Schedule included as part of Section 3.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule under the heading “Cash-Pay Options” (the “Cash-Pay Options”) shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full and (ii) at the Effective Time, all Options shall be canceled, in each case, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Stock Plans under which such Options were granted. In consideration of such cancellation, each holder of a Cash-Pay Option canceled in accordance with this Section 2.02(b) will be entitled to receive in settlement of such Cash-Pay Option as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than 10 business days after the Effective Time, a cash payment from the Payment Fund (as defined in Section 2.03), subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Common Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Cash-Pay Option and (ii) the Merger Consideration per Common Share less the applicable exercise price per Common Share otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Cash-Pay Option (the “Cash-Pay Option Consideration”); provided, however, that with respect to any person subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any such amount shall be paid as soon as practicable after the first date payment can be made without liability to such person under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company Board will fully accelerate the vesting schedule of the Options issued under the Company’s Stock Plans.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Warrant” means each outstanding unexercised warrant to purchase Common Shares granted on or prior to the date hereof to any person (including, without limitation, pursuant to that certain Common Share Purchase Warrant dated February 18, 2003, pursuant to which the holder thereof is entitled to purchase 134,270 Common Shares at an exercise price of $7.81 per share). The Company shall take all actions necessary so that, at the Effective Time, each Warrant shall be canceled, in each

case, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of each such Warrant. In consideration of such cancellation, each holder of a Warrant canceled in accordance with this Section 2.02(d) will be entitled to receive in settlement of such Warrant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than 10 business days after the Effective Time, a cash payment from the Payment Fund, subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Common Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Warrant and (ii) the Merger Consideration per Common Share less the applicable exercise price per Common Share otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Warrant (the “Warrant Consideration”).

(e) With respect to the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “Purchase Plan”), the Company shall (i) take all actions thereunder to terminate all outstanding options under the Purchase Plan (each, a “Purchase Plan Cash Option” and collectively, the “Purchase Plan Cash Options”) at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the refund of all payroll deductions not used to purchase stock as required by Article 15 of the Purchase Plan) and (ii) in consideration for such termination, provide each of the participants thereunder, in lieu of Common Shares that would have otherwise been issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding Purchase Plan Cash Options, a cash payment from the Payment Fund, subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (A) the total number of Common Shares the participant would have otherwise been issued upon the exercise of the Purchase Plan Cash Options (determined for this purpose by dividing the dollar amount of the payroll deductions refunded to the participant as provided in clause (i) above which would have otherwise been eligible to purchase Common Shares under the Purchase Plan by 85% of the fair market value of a Common Share (as determined in accordance with the Purchase Plan) on the first business day of the applicable Payment Period (as defined in the Purchase Plan)) and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over 85% of the fair market value of a Common Share on the first business day of the applicable Payment Period (the “Purchase Plan Cash Option Consideration”); provided, however, that with respect to any person subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, any such amount shall be paid as soon as practicable after the first date payment can be made without liability to such person under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

(f) The Company shall (i) take all actions necessary to cause the termination (effective as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time) of the rights of each participant in the DSIP who has made an election under Section 6(d) of the DSIP to defer a grant of Common Shares under the DSIP (such rights, the “DSIP Deferred Rights”) and (ii) in consideration for such termination, provide each such participant, in lieu of Common Shares that would have otherwise been issuable on the Deferred Grant Date (as defined in the DSIP), a cash payment from the Payment Fund, subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (A) the total number of Common Shares the participant would have otherwise been issued on the Deferred Grant Date and (B) the Merger Consideration (the “DSIP Deferred Grant Consideration”); provided, however, that with respect to any person subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, any such amount shall be paid as soon as practicable after the first date payment can be made without liability to such person under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the relevant Stock Plans or the Purchase Plan or amending or waiving relevant agreements providing for vesting conditions on Common Shares or Options therefor) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.02.

(h) Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to in writing by Merger Sub and the Company or as may be necessary to administer Options remaining outstanding following the Effective Time, the Stock Plans and the Purchase Plan shall terminate effective as of the Effective Time and no participant in the Stock Plans or the Purchase Plan shall thereafter be granted any rights thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Infor or any subsidiary of any of the foregoing.

(i) The Company covenants that prior to the Effective Time it will take all actions necessary under that certain SEC no-action letter, dated January 12, 1999, to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, to provide that the cancellation and cash-out and conversion of Cash-Pay Options, the Purchase Plan Cash Options and the DSIP Deferred Rights, pursuant to this Section 2.02, will qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act.

2.03 Payment for Common Shares, Options and Warrants in the Merger.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange and paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the “Agent”) for the purpose of (i) exchanging certificates representing, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Common Shares for the aggregate Merger Consideration, (ii) making payment of the aggregate Cash-Pay Option Consideration in exchange for the cancellation of all Cash-Pay Options, (iii) making payment of the aggregate Warrant Consideration in exchange for the cancellation of all Warrants, (iv) making payment of the aggregate Purchase Plan Cash Option Consideration in exchange for the cancellation of all Purchase Plan Cash Options, and (v) making payment of the aggregate DSIP Deferred Grant Consideration in exchange for the cancellation of all DSIP Deferred Rights. Subject to the Company’s obligations to deposit cash in the Payment Fund described in this Section 2.03(a), at or prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall deposit, or Merger Sub shall otherwise take all steps necessary to cause to be deposited, in trust with the Agent for the benefit of the holders of Common Shares, Cash-Pay Options, Warrants, Purchase Plan Cash Options and DSIP Deferred Rights, as the case may be, cash in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the sum of (A) the product of (I) the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and (II) the Merger Consideration and (B) the amount necessary for the payment in full of the Cash-Pay Option Consideration, the Warrant Consideration, the Purchase Plan Cash Option Consideration and the DSIP Deferred Grant Consideration less (ii) the amount to be deposited by the Company as provided in this Section 2.03(a) (such aggregate amount described in (i) and (ii), together with the amount to be deposited by the Company as provided in this Section 2.03(a) being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit, or the Company shall otherwise take all steps necessary to cause to be deposited, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Common Shares, Cash Pay Options, Warrants, Purchase Plan Cash Options and DSIP Deferred Rights, as the case may be, cash in an aggregate amount

(subject to the following sentence) of not less than $24 million with the Agent for deposit into the Payment Fund (the “Company Cash Deposit”), which deposit shall be used solely and exclusively for purposes of paying the consideration specified in Section 2.02, and shall not be used to satisfy any other obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall retain such portion of the Company Cash Deposit as is necessary for purposes of paying the consideration specified in Section 2.02 to the holders of Cash Pay Options, Purchase Plan Cash Options, Warrants and DSIP Deferred Rights, which consideration shall be paid directly by the Company. Without limiting the Company’s obligations set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall, as of the Effective Time, have sufficient unrestricted domestic cash on hand to pay (i) any unpaid Expenses contemplated by Section 3.28 (including, without limitation, those incurred or which may be incurred by the Financial Advisor and counsel to the Company) and Expenses incurred in connection with any litigation with respect to, arising from or related to the Transactions, (ii) any compensation, remuneration or other amounts which may be payable by the Company in connection with the Change of Control Agreements (as defined in Section 3.10) (assuming that each employee of the Company that is a party to a Change of Control Agreement is terminated without Cause immediately following the consummation of the Merger) and (iii) the cost of the Tail Policy (as defined in Section 5.07(d)), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit all other available domestic cash of the Company (taking into account the reasonable short-term working capital needs of the Company) with the Agent for deposit into the Payment Fund. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of cash to be deposited by Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), Merger Sub shall assume that no holder of Common Shares will perfect their right to appraisal of their Common Shares under the GBCC. The Agent shall, pursuant to instructions provided by Merger Sub, make the payments provided for in Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 of this Agreement out of the Payment Fund (it being understood that any and all interest earned on funds made available to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be turned over to the party depositing such funds with the Agent). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose except as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than 10 business days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Agent to mail to each record holder of certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Common Shares (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a form 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 Agent, and (iii) instructions for use in surrendering such Certificates and receiving the Merger Consideration in respect thereof.

(c) Upon surrender to the Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, within 10 business days after such surrender, in exchange therefor, in the case of Common Shares (other than Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b)), cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate and (ii) the Merger Consideration, which amounts shall be paid by Agent by check or wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such holder. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. If the consideration provided for

herein is to be delivered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such delivery to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate, or that such person shall establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.03, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares or Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) shall represent, for all purposes, in the case of Certificates representing Common Shares (other than Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b)), only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Common Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificate without any interest or dividends thereon.

(d) The consideration issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Common Shares formerly represented thereby. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each of Merger Sub, Infor and Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant in such jurisdiction) under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Each of Merger Sub, Infor and Parent is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, event or change that prevents or materially delays, or is reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay, the ability of Infor, Merger Sub and Parent to perform in all material respects their obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof, other than any Purchaser Excluded Matters. As used in this Agreement, “Purchaser Excluded Matters” means any one or more of the following effects, events or changes: (a) the effect of any change arising in connection with any “act of God” including, without limitation, weather, natural disasters and earthquakes, hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions or any escalation or material worsening of any such hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions, (b) the effect of any change caused by the taking of any action by Parent, Infor or Merger Sub that has been approved in writing by the Company, (c) any change or effect resulting from a change in accounting rules or procedures announced by the Financial Accounting Standards

Board, the SEC or any other accounting body with authority to promulgate U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or (d) resulting from or arising out of any change in any Law applicable to Parent or Infor or their industry.

4.02 Charter Documents and Bylaws. Parent has heretofore made available to the Company or its representatives a complete and correct copy of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Parent in full force and effect as of the date hereof.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Merger Sub, Infor and Parent, and (assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company) constitutes the valid and binding obligations of each of Merger Sub, Infor and Parent, enforceable against them in accordance with its respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.07 after the Effective Time, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify the Surviving Corporation thereof (although the failure to so notify the Surviving Corporation shall not relieve the Surviving Corporation from any liability that the Surviving Corporation may have

under this Section 5.07, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Surviving Corporation).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Parent, Infor and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or (ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.04(b) then, in any such case, concurrently with any such termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Infor (as agent for itself, Parent and Merger Sub) the Company Break Up Fee (as defined below) plus Parent’s, Infor’s and Merger Sub’s reasonably incurred out-of-pocket Expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). “Company Break Up Fee” means cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000).

(d) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.04(a) then, in such case, concurrently with any such termination of this Agreement, Infor shall pay to the Company cash in immediately available funds in an aggregate amount equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

(e) All amounts payable by under this Section 8.01 shall be paid in cash and in immediately available funds to such account as Infor or the Company, as applicable, may designate in writing to the other party.

(f) The parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.01 and the amounts payable as provided in this Section 8.01 are an integral part of the Transactions, that such amounts represent the damages that the party receiving such payment will incur if the conditions giving rise to such payments occur and that such payments constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.

8.02 Guarantee. Infor and Parent jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the due and punctual performance of Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder and Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual performance of Infor’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, that such guarantee shall terminate concurrently with the satisfaction of Merger Sub’s obligation to deposit funds with the Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a). Infor and Parent will cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

8.03 No Survival. The representations, warranties and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive beyond the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreements set forth in Articles 1 and 2, Section 5.07 and Article 8 shall survive the Effective Time and those set forth in Section 7.05 shall survive termination.

8.04 Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company; provided, however, that after any such approval, there shall not be made any amendment that by law requires the further approval by such shareholders without such further approval. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

8.05 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party (except that each of Parent, Infor and Merger Sub may assign its rights, interests and obligations (a) to any of their respective affiliates or direct or indirect subsidiaries without the consent of the Company, so long as they remain primarily obligated with respect to any such delegated obligation or (b) for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Parent, Infor or Merger Sub without the consent of the Company). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

8.06 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

8.07 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by overnight courier or telecopier to the respective parties as follows:

8.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

8.09 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any one of which may be delivered by facsimile.

8.11 Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a) the term “affiliate,” as applied to any person, shall mean any other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of that person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;

(b) the term “knowledge,” of any person which is not an individual means (i) with respect to the Company, the actual knowledge of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, W. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx XxxXxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxx (and any such person’s replacement) and (ii) with respect to Infor and Merger Sub, the actual knowledge of such person’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman; Chief Financial Officer; Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions; and Senior Vice President and General Counsel;

(c) the term “Person” or “person” shall include individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, other entities and groups (which term shall include a “group” as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act); and

(d) the term “subsidiary” or “subsidiaries” means, with respect to any Person, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other legal entity of which such Person (either alone or through or together with any other subsidiary), owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the stock or other equity or beneficial interests, the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation or other legal entity.

8.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that, except with respect to the specific circumstances addressed in Section 8.01 hereof, irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be

entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled hereunder at law or in equity.

8.13 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso in Section 8.04, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

8.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Section 5.07, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

8.15 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, unless the effects of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability would prevent the parties from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Merger that they currently anticipate obtaining therefrom, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

8.16 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Atlanta, Georgia in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the parties hereto also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on any other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.07 above. Nothing in this Section 8.16, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.
