-14-
the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property,
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Corporation and the Merger
Subsidiary (excluding, for greater certainty, the Specified Assets) will vest in
the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the
Corporation and the Merger Subsidiary will become the debts, liabilities and
duties of the Surviving Corporation.
2.4 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
2.4.1 At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation will be amended in their entirety to read as the Articles of
Incorporation of the Merger Subsidiary as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time, and will be the Articles of Incorporation of the
Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Minnesota
Law, except that as of the Effective Time, Article I of the Articles of
Incorporation will be amended to read: "The name of the corporation will be

2.4.2 The Bylaws of the Merger Subsidiary, as in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Time, will be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter amended as provided by Minnesota Law, the Articles of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and those Bylaws.
2.5 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
At the Effective Time, the directors of the Merger Subsidiary

or their respective successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with
Minnesota Law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation. The officers of the Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the
Effective Time will be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, to
hold office until those officers resign, are removed or their respective

the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
2.6 EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK
By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Corel,
the Merger Subsidiary, the Corporation or the Jasc Stockholders:
2.6.1 CONVERSION OF JASC SHARES. Each Jasc Share will be converted into (i)
the Per Jasc Share Equity Consideration subject to any fractional share
interest to be addressed in accordance with section 2.6.3; and (ii) the
right to receive a cash payment equal to the Per Jasc Share Cash
Consideration.
2.6.2 CONVERSION OF MERGER SUBSIDIARY COMMON STOCK. At the Effective Time,
each share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Merger Subsidiary will
be converted automatically into one fully paid and nonassessable share of
common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
2.6.3 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fraction of a Corel Common Share will be issued
in the Merger. Any fractional share that would otherwise be issued to a
Jasc Stockholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares.
2.6.4 DISSENTERS' RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, any Jasc Share outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time held by a holder who has demanded and perfected the right,
if any, to receive fair value for those Jasc Shares ("DISSENTING SHARES")
in accordance with the provisions of Sections 302A.471 and 302A.473 of
Minnesota Law
-15-
and as of the Effective Time has not withdrawn or lost those dissenter's
rights will not be converted into or represent a right to receive the
Merger Consideration pursuant to section 2.6.1, but the stockholder will
only be entitled to those rights as are granted by Minnesota Law. If a
holder of Jasc Shares who asserts dissenter's rights under Minnesota Law
withdraws or loses those rights (through failure to perfect or otherwise),
then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of that event, whichever
last occurs, those shares (the "UNPERFECTED SHARES") will be converted into
and/or represent, as applicable, only the right to receive the Merger
Consideration as provided in section 2.6.1, without interest, upon the
surrender of the certificate or certificates formerly representing those
Unperfected Shares. The Corporation will give Corel (i) prompt notice of
any written notice of intent to demand fair value for any Unperfected
Shares, attempted withdrawals of those demands, the deposit of any shares
for which payment is demanded, and any other instruments served pursuant to
Minnesota Law received by the Corporation relating to dissenters' rights
and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to the assertion of dissenters' rights under Minnesota Law. The
Corporation will not, except with the prior written consent of Corel, given
in its sole discretion, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any of
those demands for payment of fair value, offer to settle or settle any of
those demands or approve any withdrawal of any of those demands.
2.7 SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENT OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
2.7.1 Promptly at the Effective Time, each of the Jasc Stockholders will
surrender his or her existing share certificates representing Jasc Shares
("OLD CERTIFICATES") to Corel.
2.7.2 Each Jasc Stockholder, upon surrender to Corel of the Old
Certificates, will receive in exchange for those certificates as soon as
practicable following the receipt of the certificates by Corel, the Merger
Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled pursuant to section 2.6.1
(subject to section 2.12), and the Old Certificates so surrendered will be
cancelled. Unless and until so surrendered, each Old Certificate will,
after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to
receive upon surrender the Merger Consideration to which the Jasc
Stockholder is entitled pursuant to section 2.6.1.
2.7.3 At and following the Effective Time, Jasc Stockholders will cease to
be, and will have no rights as, stockholders of the Corporation (and/or,
for greater certainty, the Surviving Corporation), other than as provided
in this section 2.7.3. After the Effective Time, there will be no further
registration of transfers of Jasc Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Old
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Corel, they will
be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided for,
and in accordance with the procedures set out in this Article 2.
2.7.4 No dividends or other distributions on Corel Common Shares will be
paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificates until those Old
Certificates are surrendered as provided in this section 2.7. Upon that
surrender, where the holder of the Old Certificate receives Corel Common
Shares in accordance with section 2.6.1, there will be paid, without
interest, to the Person in whose name the new share certificates
representing the Corel Common Shares ("NEW CERTIFICATES") into which those
Jasc Shares were converted are registered, all dividends and other
distributions paid in respect of those Corel Common Shares on a date
subsequent to, and in respect of a record date after, the Effective Time.
Dividends and other distributions paid on Corel Common Shares subject to
the Escrow Agreement will be dealt with in the manner provided in the
Escrow Agreement.
2.7.5 If any Old Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming that Old
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the granting by that person
of an indemnity in favour of Corel and the Surviving Corporation against
-16-
any claim that may be made against Corel or the Surviving Corporation with
respect to that Old Certificate, Corel will deliver the Merger
Consideration as provided for in section 2.6.1.
2.8 ADJUSTMENTS
If, at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement
and the Effective Time, the outstanding Corel Common Shares are changed into a
different number of shares, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization,
stock split or combination, reverse stock split, consolidation, exchange or
readjustment of shares, stock dividend or similar transaction with a record date
(or where there is no record date, effective date) during that period, the
number of Corel Common Shares that the Jasc Stockholders are entitled to receive
as Merger Consideration as provided for in section 2.6.1 will be appropriately
adjusted.
2.9 WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT
2.9.1 At least 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Corporation
will have prepared and delivered to Corel the Initial Closing Balance
Sheet. The Initial Closing Balance Sheet will show a minimum amount of
Adjusted September 30 Working Capital at least equal to the Required
Working Capital Amount.
2.9.2 If the Initial Closing Balance Sheet shows Adjusted September 30
Working Capital that is less than the Required Working Capital Amount (the
"INITIAL WORKING CAPITAL SHORTFALL"), then the Asset Sale Cash
Consideration will be reduced by the amount of the Initial Working Capital
Shortfall. If the Initial Working Capital Shortfall is greater than the
Asset Sale Cash Consideration, then the Total Merger Cash Consideration
will be reduced by that excess amount.
2.9.3 Within 60 days of the Closing Date, Corel will prepare and deliver to
the Stockholder Representative a draft Working Capital Closing Balance
Sheet. The Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet will contain a
reconciliation that details any differences between this balance sheet and
the Initial Closing Balance Sheet. Once the Working Capital Closing Balance
Sheet is settled in accordance with this section 2.9, it will be used to
calculate the Closing Working Capital Amount. Within 10 Business Days after
settling the Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet:
2.9.3.1 if the Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the
Required Working Capital Amount by more than the Initial Working
Capital Shortfall (the difference from the Initial Working Capital
Shortfall being the "WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") then the Jasc
Stockholders will pay to Corel the Working Capital Adjustment Amount.
Each of the Jasc Stockholders will pay to Corel cash equal to a pro
rata portion of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount based upon the
Jasc Stockholder's Ownership Percentage. If the entire Working Capital
Adjustment Amount is not paid by the Jasc Stockholders within the 10
Business Day period, the unpaid balance of the Working Capital
Adjustment Amount will be satisfied from the Escrow Fund and each Jasc
Stockholder that did not make its required payment during the 10
Business Day period will (and will be severally, and not jointly,
liable to) make a cash payment to the Escrow Fund equal to that Jasc
Stockholder's pro rata share of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount
(based upon the percentage of the Jasc Stockholder's Ownership
Percentage); or
2.9.3.2 if the Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the
Required Working Capital Amount by less than the Initial Working
Capital Shortfall (the difference from the Initial Working Capital
Shortfall being the "COREL WORKING CAPITAL PAYMENT"), then
-17-
Corel will pay to the Jasc Stockholders cash equal to a pro rata
portion of the Corel Working Capital Payment based upon the Jasc
Stockholder's Ownership Percentage.
2.9.4 If the Stockholder Representative notifies Corel that it agrees with
the Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet within 21 days after receiving it
or fails to deliver notice to Corel of its disagreement with the Working
Capital Closing Balance Sheet within that 21 day period, the Working
Capital Closing Balance Sheet will be conclusive and binding on Corel and
each of the Jasc Stockholders and the parties will be deemed to have agreed
to it, in the first case on the date Corel receives the notice and, in the
second case, on the 21st day.
2.9.5 If the Stockholder Representative notifies Corel of a disagreement
with the Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet within the 21 day period,
then Corel and the Stockholder Representative will attempt, in good faith,
to resolve their differences with respect to it within 15 days after
Corel's receipt of the notice of disagreement. Any disagreement over the
Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet not resolved by Corel and the
Stockholder Representative within that 15 day period (or any longer period
as may be agreed to between the parties) will be settled in accordance with
section 2.11.
2.10 Q3 NET REVENUE ADJUSTMENT
2.10.1 At least 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Corporation
will have prepared and delivered to Corel a calculation of the Initial Q3
Net Revenue.
2.10.2 If the Initial Q3 Net Revenue is less than the Required Q3 Net
Revenue (the "INITIAL Q3 NET REVENUE SHORTFALL"), then the Asset Sale Cash
Consideration will be reduced by the amount of the Initial Q3 Net Revenue
Shortfall. If the Initial Q3 Net Revenue Shortfall is greater than the
Asset Sale Cash Consideration, then the Total Merger Cash Consideration
will be reduced by that excess amount.
2.10.3 Within 60 days of the Closing Date, Corel will prepare and deliver
to the Stockholder Representative a draft calculation of Q3 Net Revenue.
The calculation of the Q3 Net Revenue will contain a reconciliation that
details any differences between this calculation and the calculation of the
Initial Q3 Net Revenue. Within 10 Business Days after settling the
calculation of Q3 Net Revenue in accordance with this section 2.10:
2.10.3.1 if the Q3 Net Revenue is less than the Required Q3 Net
Revenue by more than the Initial Q3 Net Revenue Shortfall (the
difference from the Initial Q3 Net Revenue Shortfall being the "Q3 NET
REVENUE ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") then the Jasc Stockholders will pay to
Corel the Q3 Net Revenue Adjustment Amount. Each of the Jasc
Stockholders will pay to Corel cash equal to a pro rata portion of the
Q3 Net Revenue Adjustment Amount based upon the Jasc Stockholder's
Ownership Percentage. If the entire Q3 Net Revenue Adjustment Amount
is not paid by the Jasc Stockholders within the 10 Business Day
period, the unpaid balance of the Q3 Net Revenue Adjustment Amount
will be satisfied from the Escrow Fund and each Jasc Stockholder that
did not make its required payment during the 10 Business Day Period
will (and will be severally, and not jointly, liable to) make a cash
payment to the Escrow Fund equal to that Jasc Stockholder's pro rata
share of the Q3 Net Revenue Adjustment Amount (based upon the Jasc
Stockholder's Ownership Percentage); or
2.10.3.2 if the Q3 Net Revenue is less than the Required Q3 Net
Revenue by less than the Initial Q3 Net Revenue Shortfall (the
difference from the Initial Q3 Net Revenue
-18-
Shortfall being the "COREL Q3 NET REVENUE PAYMENT"), then Corel will
pay to the Jasc Stockholders cash equal to a pro rata portion of the
Corel Q3 Net Revenue Payment based upon the Jasc Stockholder's
Ownership Percentage.
2.10.4 If the Stockholder Representative notifies Corel that it agrees with
the calculation of Q3 Net Revenue within 21 days after receiving it or
fails to deliver notice to Corel of its disagreement with the calculation
of Q3 Net Revenue within that 21 day period, the calculation of Q3 Net
Revenue will be conclusive and binding on Corel and each of the Jasc
Stockholders and the parties will be deemed to have agreed to it, in the
first case on the date Corel receives the notice and, in the second case,
on the 21st day.

be determined by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration

arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator agreed to by Corel and
the Stockholder Representative or if the parties are unable to agree on a single

the applicable expedited procedures under the Commercial Arbitration Rules, (2)
any award or determination of an arbitrator will be final and binding on the
parties and there will be no appeal on any ground, (3) an arbitrator will not,

confidential to the full extent permitted by law, (5) the arbitrator will have
power to award legal fees and costs associated with the arbitration (including
fees of the arbitrator) and to order equitable relief in accordance with this
section 2.11, and (6) no individual will be appointed as an arbitrator unless he
or she agrees in writing to be bound by this arbitration provision.
2.12 ESCROW
Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Corel will deliver at
the Closing to the Escrow Agent 2,778,876 Corel Shares which comprise a portion
of the Total Equity Consideration and $1.0 million which comprises a portion of
the Total Cash Consideration. The Escrow Agent will hold the Escrow Fund in
escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
2.13 CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND OPTION PLAN
Prior to the Effective Time, the Corporation and each holder of
Convertible Securities will enter into an agreement that will provide (i) that
holders of Convertible Securities who are Accredited Investors on the date of
that agreement will, prior to the Closing Date, in respect of each Convertible
Security, either (a) exercise that Convertible Security for Jasc Shares or (b)
receive a cash payment as consideration for the cancellation of that Convertible
Security in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of that
Convertible Security and the value of the Transaction Consideration which the
holder would have received had that Convertible Security been exercised
immediately prior to
-19-
the Time of Closing (if the holder fails to elect (a) or (b) at least 3 days
prior to the Closing Date, the holder will be deemed to have elected (b)); and
(ii) that holders of Convertible Securities who are not Accredited Investors on
the date of that agreement will, prior to the Closing Date, for each Convertible
Security held receive a cash payment as consideration for the cancellation of
that Convertible Security in an amount equal to the difference between the
exercise price of that Convertible Security and the value of the Transaction
Consideration which the holder would have received had that Convertible Security
been exercised immediately prior to the Time of Closing. The Corporation will
pay the amounts due to the holders of Convertible Securities or will arrange
with Corel, at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, for the payment
of those amounts to be made directly out of the Asset Sale Cash Consideration as
contemplated by section 5.11.
2.14 TAX RELATED PAYMENT
2.14.1 Upon the later of (i) at least 3 Business Days prior to the Closing
Date; or (ii) October 15, 2004, the Corporation (or the Stockholder
Representative, if that later date is following the Closing Date) will
prepare and deliver to Corel a draft September Income Statement and a draft
calculation of the Tax Related Payment calculated in accordance with
section 2.14.3.
2.14.2 Within 10 Business Days after settling the calculation of the Tax
Related Payment in accordance with this section 2.14, Corel will pay to the
Jasc Stockholders cash equal to the Tax Related Payment, pro rata based
upon the Jasc Stockholder's Ownership Percentage.
2.14.3 The "TAX RELATED PAYMENT" will be equal to the taxable income of the
Corporation for the time period commencing on October 1, 2004 and ending at
the Effective Time, multiplied by 0.43. The taxable income of the
Corporation for the time period commencing on October 1, 2004 and ending at
the Effective Time will be the product of (i) taxable income of the
Corporation from September 1, 2004 to September 30, 2004 divided by 30 and
(ii) the number of days from and including October 1, 2004, to the
Effective Time. The Tax Related Payment will be a liability of the
Corporation on the Effective Date and, for greater certainty, will be
treated for tax purposes as Merger Consideration. The parties agree that
(i) the foregoing calculation will be the basis for allocating income
between the parties, from a Tax perspective, for the period from October 1,
2004 to the Effective Date; and (ii) in no event will the taxable income
calculated pursuant to this section 2.14.3 be greater than the taxable
income reported to the Internal Revenue Service for that same period.
2.14.4 If Corel notifies the Stockholder Representative that it agrees with
the calculation of the Tax Related Payment within 21 days after receiving
it or fails to deliver notice to the Stockholder Representative of its
disagreement with the calculation of the Tax Related Payment within that 21
day period, the calculation of the Tax Related Payment will be conclusive
and binding on Corel and each of the Jasc Stockholders and the parties will
be deemed to have agreed to it, in the first case on the date the
Stockholder Representative receives the notice and, in the second case, on
the 21st day.
2.14.5 If Corel notifies the Stockholder Representative of a disagreement
with the calculation of the Tax Related Payment within the 21 day period,
then Corel and the Stockholder Representative will attempt, in good faith,
to resolve their differences with respect to it within 15 days after the
Stockholder Representative's receipt of the notice of disagreement. Any
disagreement over the calculation of the Tax Related Payment not resolved
by Corel and the Stockholder Representative within that 15 day period (or
any longer period as may be agreed to between the parties) will be settled
in accordance with section 2.11.
-20-
2.14.6 If it is later determined, in connection with a tax audit or
otherwise, that the actual tax obligations of the Jasc Stockholders related
to the period between September 30, 2004 and the Closing Date is greater
than Tax Related Payment, Corel shall make an additional cash payment to
each Jasc Stockholder in an amount equal to such additional tax liability.

respect to the Leased Real Estate and is not aware of any false or
misleading information in such environmental reports.
-28-

connection with the Business (including any applicable expiry dates)
are listed in Schedule 3.1.23 and are valid and in full force and
effect.

3.1.24 TAX MATTERS.
3.1.24.1 For the purposes of this section 3.1.24, "CORPORATION"
includes the Corporation and any or all of its current or past
subsidiaries, whether or not in existence as of the date of this
Agreement. The Corporation has filed or caused to be filed on a timely
basis all Tax Returns required to be filed by it and has paid all
Taxes due and payable with respect to the periods covered by those Tax
Returns (whether or not reflected on those Tax Returns). All Tax
Returns filed by or on behalf of the Corporation are true, complete
and correct in all material respects. No deficiency in Taxes of the
Corporation for any period has been asserted by any taxing authority
which remains unpaid at the date of this Agreement. No Tax Return is
under audit or examination by any taxing authority, and no notice of
such an audit or examination has been received by the Corporation.
There is no deficiency, refund litigation, proposed adjustment or
matter in controversy with respect to any Taxes due and owing by the
Corporation. Each deficiency resulting from any completed audit or
examination relating to Taxes by any taxing authority has been timely
paid. No issues relating to Taxes were raised by the relevant taxing
authority in any completed audit or examination that could reasonably
be expected to recur in a later taxable period. The United States
federal income tax Tax Returns of the Corporation have either been
examined and settled with the Internal Revenue Service or closed by
virtue of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for
all years through the taxation year ended December 31, 2000. The
Corporation has not agreed to the extension of the statute of
limitations with respect to any Tax Returns or periods. There are no
assessments relating to the Corporation's Tax Returns pending or
threatened. The Corporation has delivered to the Merger Subsidiary
true and complete copies of the federal and state income (or
franchise) Tax Returns filed by the Corporation for the past three
years. The Corporation is not, and has never been, the common parent
or a member of any affiliated group of corporations filing a
consolidated federal income tax return, and is not a party to any tax
sharing agreement or other arrangement pursuant to which it could be
liable for the Taxes of any third-party.
3.1.24.2 The accruals for Taxes in the Audited Financial Statements
and Unaudited Financial Statements accurately reflect the total amount
of all unpaid Taxes, whether or not disputed and whether or not
presently due and payable, of the Corporation as of the close of the
period covered by the Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited
Financial Statements, respectively. Adequate accruals and reserves
have been made in the Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited
Financial Statements and the books and records of the Corporation for
the payment of all unpaid Taxes of the Corporation for all periods
through the respective dates thereof, as at the Closing Date, whether
or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed by the
Corporation, and nothing has occurred subsequent to the dates of the
Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited Financial Statements,
as applicable, or such accruals or reserves in those books and records
which make those accruals and reserves inadequate.

3.1.24.3 The Corporation is not a "United States real property holding
corporation" within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code.
3.1.24.4 The Corporation is not required to make any adjustment
pursuant to Section 481 (a) of the Code or any similar provision of
state, local or foreign Law by reason of a change in accounting method
initiated by the Corporation.
3.1.24.5 Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1.24.5, the Corporation has
elected, pursuant to Section 1362 of the Code, to be treated as an "S
corporation" for federal income tax purposes continuously since
inception, as that term is defined in Section 1361 of the Code, and
has filed similar elections with each state taxing authority requiring
a separate state election to be treated as an S corporation.
3.1.24.6 The Corporation's election to be treated as an S corporation
was valid and timely filed and has never been challenged by the
Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing authority, has been in
effect for all taxable years of the Corporation since formation and
has been at all times and is valid and effective under the Code and in
all states where the Corporation is subject to Taxes. The Corporation
is not and could not be subject to any obligation and/or liability in
respect of its failure or alleged failure to qualify as an "S
corporation" at any time.

terms and conditions relating to the Permits; and there are no Proceedings
in progress, pending
-37-
or threatened which may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension,
rescission or any adverse modification of any of the Permits nor are there
any facts upon which those Proceedings could reasonably be based. Neither
the terms and conditions relating to the Permits nor the Laws pursuant to
which they were issued require that any consent or approval of, or filing
with or notice to, any governmental agency or regulatory body or other
Person be made to assure the continued holding by the Corporation (or any
transferee contemplated by the Transaction) of the Permits after
consummation of the Transaction (provided that such Permits were not
transferred in the Asset Sale).

compensation or damages or otherwise arising out of any violation of the
foregoing. None of the Corporation nor any of the Principal Stockholders
has received any notification of any asserted present or past failure to
comply with any of the foregoing which has not been satisfactorily

addition, the Corporation will give, and the Principal Stockholders will cause
the Corporation to give, until the Time of Closing, to the Merger Subsidiary,
Corel and their representatives reasonable access to the Jasc Facilities and
Information to conduct ongoing integration and transaction planning which
includes the initiation of customer surveys of existing Jasc customers;
provided, however, that the Merger Subsidiary, Corel and their representatives
shall have no right to legally bind the Corporation and, provided further, that
the Stockholder Representative shall be provided with information about the
integration and transaction planning that is being conducted and shall have the
right to cause the delay or termination of such planning activities if he
reasonably believes that it is necessary to do so in order to allow the
Corporation to carry on the Business as the Business is being carried on at the
date of this Agreement. No investigation made by the Merger Subsidiary, Corel or
their respective representatives will affect the Merger Subsidiary's and/or
Corel's right to rely on any representation or warranty made by the Jasc
Stockholders or the Corporation in this Agreement or in any document
contemplated by this Agreement or derogate from the Jasc Stockholders'
acknowledgement of that reliance in sections 3.1 and 3.2 and the Jasc
Stockholder Signature Page, as applicable.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or except with the
prior written consent of the Merger Subsidiary, prior to the Time of Closing the
Corporation will, and the Principal Stockholders will cause the Corporation to:
5.2.1 operate the Business only in the ordinary course, consistent with
past practice and, to the extent consistent with that operation, use best
efforts to preserve its business organization, including the services of
its officers and employees, and its business relationships with customers,

Corporation, as incurred up until and including the Closing Date;

-48-
5.2.5 do or refrain from doing all acts and things in order to ensure that
the representations and warranties in section 3.1 remain true and correct
in all material respects at the Time of Closing (except for any
representations and warranties which are qualified by materiality in
section 3, which representations and warranties are to be strictly true and
correct) as if those representations and warranties were made at and as of
that date and to satisfy or cause to be satisfied the conditions in section
4.1 which are within its control.
5.3 NEGATIVE COVENANT
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or listed in Schedule
5.3 or except with the prior written consent of the Merger Subsidiary, prior to
the Time of Closing the Corporation will not, and the Principal Stockholders
will ensure that the Corporation will not:

or other organizational documents;
5.3.2 merge or consolidate with, or acquire all or substantially all the

Corporation's pricing policies, announce new products, hire or terminate
key employees, terminate master representatives, enter into, renew or
terminate significant Contracts or alter any employee compensation or
benefits (including any profit sharing or equity participation plans) or
other terms and conditions of employment.
5.4 MERGER SUBSIDIARY'S COVENANT
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or except with the
prior written consent of the Corporation, prior to the Time of Closing each of
the Merger Subsidiary and Corel will do or refrain from doing all acts and
things in order to ensure that the representations and warranties in sections
3.2 and 3.4 remain true and correct in all material respects at the Time of
Closing (except for any representations and warranties which are qualified by
materiality in section 3, which representations and warranties are to be true
and correct) as if those representations and warranties were made at and as of
that date and to satisfy or cause to be satisfied the conditions in section 4.2
which are within each entity's respective control.
5.5 CORPORATE ACTION, RELEASES
At or prior to the Time of Closing, the Principal Stockholders will
cause all necessary corporate action to be taken for the purpose of approving
the Transaction and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If

nominees of the Merger Subsidiary to be elected or appointed directors of the
Corporation to fill any vacancies.
-49-
5.6 OBTAINING OF CONSENTS AND APPROVALS
The Principal Stockholders will, and will cause the Corporation to,
use best efforts to deliver, at or prior to the Time of Closing, the Required
Consents.
5.7 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
The Principal Stockholders will, at the request and expense of the
Merger Subsidiary, cause the Corporation to place promptly any additional
insurance on its insurable assets and/or to place any additional public
liability or other insurance as the Merger Subsidiary may request.
5.8 NON-SOLICITATION
Neither the Corporation (including its directors, officers, employees
and agents) nor any Jasc Stockholder will initiate, encourage, cooperate with,
provide non-public information to or participate in any discussions with any
third party (other than its professional advisors) regarding the Transaction or
any other proposed financing of the Corporation or sale of the Corporation's
securities or assets, and the Corporation and each Jasc Stockholder will
immediately terminate any such discussions currently in progress. If, prior to
the earlier of the Time of Closing and termination of this Agreement, the
Corporation or a Jasc Stockholder receives an inquiry concerning a proposed
transaction that could be inconsistent with the Transaction, then the
Corporation or that Jasc Stockholder will immediately notify the Merger
Subsidiary of that event and provide the Merger Subsidiary with a copy of that
proposal (if in writing) or a summary of that inquiry (if oral).
5.9 [RESERVED]
5.10 TAX MATTERS
5.10.1 The Merger Subsidiary and the Jasc Stockholders will make an
election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable election
under state or local Tax Law), with respect to the Transaction. The Merger
Subsidiary and the Jasc Stockholders will cooperate fully with each other
in the making of that election. In particular, and not by way of
limitation, in order to effect that election, promptly upon the request of
the Merger Subsidiary, each of the Jasc Stockholders will execute with the
Merger Subsidiary necessary copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 8023
and all attachments required to be filed with that form pursuant to
applicable Treasury regulations.
5.10.2 The Transaction Consideration and the liabilities of the Corporation
assumed by the Merger Subsidiary under this Agreement will be allocated to
the assets of the Corporation substantially as set out in Schedule 5.10.2.
The parties agree that the Schedule 5.10.2 attached to this Agreement on
the date of this Agreement is in draft form (the "DRAFT SCHEDULE 5.10.2")
and that the final Schedule 5.10.2 (the "FINAL SCHEDULE 5.10.2") will be
delivered by the Merger Subsidiary to the Stockholder Representative at
least 2 Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Final Schedule 5.10.2
will (i) contain the identical line items as the Draft Schedule 5.10.2 (and
will not contain any additional items), and (ii) reflect amounts allocated
to "Property, plant and equipment" and "Non-compete" that will not be more
than 3 times the value allocated to those items in the Draft Schedule
5.10.2. The parties agree that this allocation is intended to comply with
the allocation method required by Section 338 of the Code. The parties will
cooperate to comply with all substantive and procedural requirements of
Section 338 of the Code and any applicable regulations, and the allocation
will be adjusted if, and to the extent, necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 338 of the Code. Neither the Merger Subsidiary nor
any of the Jasc
-50-
Stockholders will take, nor permit any Affiliated person to take, for
federal, state or local income Tax purposes, any position inconsistent with
(i) the allocation set out in Schedule 5.10.2, or, if applicable, that
adjusted allocation; and/or (ii) the description of the Transaction as set
out in section 2.1.
5.10.3 The Principal Stockholders will prepare, or cause to be prepared,
and file, or cause to be filed, on a timely basis all Tax Returns with
respect to the Corporation for taxable periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date (a "PRE-CLOSING TAX PERIOD") including any short period return
for the Corporation ending at the end of the day on the Closing Date. The
Principal Stockholders shall provide Corel copies of the Tax Returns at
least 30 days prior to the due date for filing the specific Tax Return, and
Corel shall have the right to comment on any of those Tax Returns.
5.10.4 Subject to the process set out in section 6.3, each of Corel on the
one hand, and the Jasc Stockholders on the other hand (each a "RECIPIENT"),
shall notify the other party in writing within 20 days of receipt by the
Recipient of written notice of any pending or threatened audit, notice of
deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other
administration or Proceeding or other claim which could affect the
liability for Taxes of the other party (a "TAX CLAIM"). The Jasc
Stockholders agree that they will not settle any Proceeding in respect of a
Tax Claim in a manner which could potentially materially affect, Corel, the
Corporation or the Surviving Corporation for any taxable period that ends
after the Closing Date without the prior consent of Corel. Corel agrees
that it will not settle or allow to be settled any Proceeding in respect of
a Tax Claim in a manner which could reasonably be expected to have a
material affect on the Jasc Stockholders for any taxable period that ends
before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the
Stockholder Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end
on) the Closing Date (a "STRADDLE PERIOD"), the Jasc Stockholders will be
entitled to participate at their expense in any Tax Claim relating in any
part to Taxes attributable to the portion of that Straddle Period deemed to
end on or before the Closing Date, and with the written consent of Corel,
at the Jasc Stockholders' sole expense, may assume the control of the
entire Tax Claim.
5.11 CERTAIN PAYMENTS AND EXPENSES
5.11.1 Prior to the Effective Time, and except as set forth in section
5.16, the Jasc Stockholders will, or will cause the Corporation to, satisfy
any liability for severance pay, penalty, bonus (pro rata or otherwise) or
similar payment requirements to any employee, sales representative,
independent contractor, consultant, distributor, agent or Affiliate of the
Corporation (each, a "SEVERANCE PAYMENT") that were either (1) incurred
prior to the Time of Closing or (2) required to be satisfied in connection
with the consummation of the Transaction as a result of a change of control
or otherwise, including any amounts due to holders of Convertible
Securities pursuant to section 2.13 or amounts contemplated by section
4.1.11. Following the Closing Date, by way of pro rata cash payment
calculated based upon the Jasc Stockholder's Ownership Percentage, the Jasc
Stockholders will satisfy Severance Payments that are required by Contract
or Law to be satisfied as a result of the consummation of the Merger (and
the resulting change of control) and/or the Asset Sale. All of the
foregoing expenses shall include all associated payroll Taxes.
5.11.2 Prior to the Effective Time, the Jasc Stockholders will, or will
cause the Corporation to, satisfy all costs and expenses incurred by the
Corporation in connection with the consummation of the Merger, including
any costs in connection with the obtaining of the Consents referred to in
section 5.6.
-51-
5.11.3 Prior to the Effective Time, the Jasc Stockholders will, or will
cause the Corporation to, satisfy 50% of any filing fees payable in
connection with any filings made under the HSR Act.
5.11.4 If the costs and fees specified in sections 5.11.1, 5.11.2 and/or
5.11.3 are not satisfied prior to the Effective Time or taken into account
in the calculation of the Asset Sale Cash Consideration and/or the Total
Adjusted Merger Cash Consideration, those costs and fees will be reflected
on the Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet as current liabilities.
5.11.5 The Jasc Stockholders will satisfy all fees, expenses and other
required payments relating to the exercise of dissenter's rights by Jasc
Stockholders under Minnesota Law.
5.11.6 The Jasc Stockholders will satisfy all fees and expenses of
investment bankers (including, for greater certainty, commissions and fees
due to Xxxxxxxxx Agio Xxxxx as referenced in section 3.5) of the Jasc
Stockholders and/or the Corporation incurred in connection with negotiation
and settlement of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction.
5.11.7 Satisfaction of the payments set out in this section 5.11 will not
constitute a breach of any covenant in section 5.3 of this Agreement.
5.12 GOODWILL
Each Principal Stockholder and the Corporation covenants and agrees
that the Principal Stockholder and the Corporation will not take or omit to take
any action which could directly or indirectly impair the goodwill of the
Corporation or the Business or the business reputation or good name of the
Corporation.
5.13 COOPERATION
The parties will cooperate fully in good faith with each other and
their respective legal advisers, accountants and other representatives in
connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective
obligations under this Agreement.
5.14 TERMINATION
This Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction may be abandoned
at any time prior to the Closing (notwithstanding any approval of this Agreement
by the Jasc Stockholders) by:
5.14.1 mutual written agreement of Corel and the Corporation;
5.14.2 either Corel or the Corporation, by written notice to the other, if
the Transaction has not been consummated by October 31, 2004 or any later
date as Corel and the Corporation may mutually agree (provided that the
right to terminate this Agreement under this section 5.14.2 will not be
available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations
under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure to
consummate the Transaction by such date). For greater certainly, (i) the
condition set out in section 4.1.7.3 does not constitute an "obligation"
for the purposes of this section; and (ii) without limitation, the
Corporation may not terminate pursuant to this section 5.14.2 in the event
that section 5.6 has been breached;
5.14.3 either Corel or the Corporation, by written notice to the other, if
the stockholder approval referred to in section 4.1.7.2 is not obtained by
reason of the failure to obtain the requisite vote
-52-
upon a vote at a duly held meeting of Jasc Stockholders or at any
adjournment of that meeting or by written consent in lieu of a meeting; or
5.14.4 either Corel or the Corporation, by written notice to the other, if
there will be any applicable Law that makes the consummation of the
Transaction illegal or otherwise prohibited or if any order of a
Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction restrains or prohibits the
consummation of the Transaction, and that order becomes final and
non-appealable.
Sections 3.5, 8.1 and 8.3 of this Agreement will survive the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to this section 5.14.
5.15 JASC STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
5.15.1 The Corporation will promptly after the date of this Agreement take
all actions necessary to call a meeting of the Jasc Stockholders (including
the delivery to Jasc Stockholders of all material required by Minnesota
Law) to be held as promptly as practicable for the purpose of voting upon
this Agreement and the Transaction (the "JASC STOCKHOLDERS MEETING") or
obtain the unanimous written consent of all Jasc Stockholders approving
this Agreement and the Transaction. The Corporation will, through its board
of directors, unanimously recommend to the Jasc Stockholders approval of
this Agreement and the Transaction.
5.15.2 Each of the Principal Stockholders hereby agrees to vote that
Principal Stockholder's Jasc Shares in favor of this Agreement and the
Transaction at the Jasc Stockholders Meeting or in the written consent. If
requested by the Stockholder Representative, each Principal Stockholder
agrees to grant the Stockholder Representative a proxy to vote that
Principal Stockholder's Jasc Shares in favor of this Agreement and the
Transaction.
5.16 JASC YE BONUS PROGRAM
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Jasc
Stockholders will not be liable for any amounts associated with the Jasc YE
Bonus Program, including to the extent those amounts should have been accrued on
the Initial Closing Balance Sheet or the Working Capital Closing Balance Sheet.
Corel agrees that any liability the Corporation has to make payments in
accordance with the Jasc YE Bonus Program will be solely the responsibility and
liability of the Merger Subsidiary or Corel following the Closing and the Corel
Indemnified Parties will have no right to indemnification for any losses,
damages or deficiencies from their obligation to make any payments that become
due.
5.17 JASC FOUNDER'S COMPUTER AND CELL PHONE
At the Closing, the Corporation will sell to Xxxxxx X. Xxxx the
computer and cell phone of the Corporation used by Xx. Xxxx for a total purchase
price of $1, which items will become the personal property of Xx. Xxxx.
5.18 POST-CLOSING ACCESS
Following the Closing Date, Corel will provide each Jasc Stockholder
and their accounting advisors with reasonable access to the books and records of
the Corporation and appropriate accounting and finance personnel of Corel, the
Merger Subsidiary and/or the Surviving Corporation (during standard business
hours and upon reasonable advance written notice from the Jasc Stockholder) in
connection with the filing of the Jasc Stockholder's "Sub S" tax return for the
2004 fiscal year or the audit
-53-
of those tax returns for any prior year, and for purposes of taking actions
required by this Agreement, such as the actions specified in sections 2.9, 2.10,

the Surviving Corporation (collectively, the "COREL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") for
and from:
6.1.1.1 any loss, damages or deficiencies suffered by a Corel
Indemnified Party as a result of any breach of a representation and
warranty contained in section 3.1 or a covenant on the part of any
Principal Stockholder or on the part of the Corporation contained in

Indemnified Party as a result of any breach of a representation and
warranty given by that Jasc Stockholder in section 3.2 or a covenant
on the part of that Jasc Stockholder in this Agreement or in any
certificate or document delivered pursuant to or contemplated by this
Agreement (including, for greater certainty, the Jasc Stockholder
Signature Page; and

and the other Jasc Stockholders are entitled to be indemnified by

-54-
6.1.4 Indemnification by Merger Subsidiary and Corel
Each of Corel and the Merger Subsidiary, jointly and severally, hereby
agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Principal Stockholders and Jasc
Stockholders for and from any loss or damages suffered by the Principal
Stockholders and/or Jasc Stockholders as a result of a violation of applicable
Laws (including Laws related to privacy and sweepstakes) caused by the
solicitation for, distribution of or collection of the Surveys (as defined in
the letter agreement executed by Corel dated September 20, 2004) on the same
terms as set out in that letter.
6.2 NOTICE OF CLAIM
A Corel Indemnified Party will promptly give notice to the Stockholder
Representative of any claim for indemnification pursuant to section 6.1 (a
"CLAIM", which term will include more than one Claim), provided that any delay
or failure to so advise the Stockholder Representative will not relieve the
applicable Jasc Stockholders from any liability except to the extent that the
defense of that Claim is prejudiced by that delay or failure. That notice will
specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person against the
Corporation (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") or whether the Claim does not so arise (a
"COREL INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S CLAIM"), and will also specify with reasonable
particularity (to the extent that the information is available):
6.2.1 the factual basis for the Claim; and
6.2.2 the amount of the Claim, or, if an amount is not then determinable,
an approximate and reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the Claim.
6.3 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION
6.3.1 COREL INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S CLAIMS. With respect to Corel Indemnified
Party's Claims, following receipt of notice from the Corel Indemnified
Party of a Claim, the Stockholder Representative will have 30 days to make
any investigation of the Claim as the Stockholder Representative considers
necessary or desirable. For the purpose of that investigation, the Corel
Indemnified Party will make available to the Stockholder Representative and
its authorized representatives the information relied upon by the Corel
Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim. If the Corel Indemnified Party
and the Stockholder Representative agree at or prior to the expiration of
that 30 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension of that period)
to the validity and amount of the Claim, the applicable Jasc Stockholder(s)
will immediately pay to the Corel Indemnified Party the full agreed upon
amount of the Claim.
If the Corel Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative do not
agree within that period (or any mutually agreed upon extension of that
period), the Corel Indemnified Party and the Jasc Stockholders agree that
the Corel Indemnified Party will be entitled to bring an action in a court
of law to recover the full amount of the Claim and any costs incidental to
the action.
6.3.2 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.
6.3.2.1 With respect to any Third Party Claim, the applicable Jasc
Stockholder(s) will have the right, at their own expense, to
participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or
defense of the Third Party Claim and, in that event, the Jasc
Stockholder(s) will reimburse the Corel Indemnified Party for all the
Corel Indemnified Party's out-of-pocket expenses as a result of that
participation or assumption. If the Jasc Stockholder(s) elect to
assume that control, the Corel Indemnified Party will cooperate with
the Jasc
-55-
Stockholders, will have the right to participate in the negotiation,
settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense and
will have the right to disagree on reasonable grounds with the
selection and retention of counsel, in which case counsel satisfactory
to the Jasc Stockholders and the Corel Indemnified Party will be
retained by the Jasc Stockholders.
6.3.2.2 If the applicable Jasc Stockholders, having elected to assume
control as contemplated in section 6.3.2.1 then fail to defend the
Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Corel Indemnified
Party will be entitled to assume control and the applicable Jasc
Stockholders will be bound by the results obtained by the Corel
Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim.
6.4 ADDITIONAL RULES AND PROCEDURES
The obligation of the Jasc Stockholders to indemnify the Corel
Indemnified Parties in respect of Claims will also be subject to the following:
6.4.1 Any Claim arising as a result of a breach of a representation or
warranty contained in sections 3.1 or 3.2 will be made not later than the
date on which, pursuant to section 3.6, that representation or warranty
terminated.
6.4.2 The Jasc Stockholders' obligation to indemnify the Corel Indemnified
Parties will only apply if the Claims (including the latest Claim made but
excluding Claims set out in section 6.4.4), in total, exceed $250,000 net
of insurance proceeds and tax benefits, at which time the full amount of
all of those Claims will be indemnifiable under this Agreement.
6.4.3 The total amount payable by the Jasc Stockholders (either through the
Escrow Fund or directly) in respect of Claims under this Article will not
exceed $6.0 million.
6.4.4 Notwithstanding section 6.4.3, there will be no limit on the amounts
payable under this Article with respect to any Claim (1) based on the gross
negligence or fraud of a Jasc Stockholder or the Corporation or (2) arising
from a breach of a representation and warranty contained in one or more of
sections 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.3, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.5, 3.1.6(a), 3.1.24, 3.2.3,
3.2.4 and 3.2.5 and Sections 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 of the Jasc Stockholder
Signature Page, and or a breach of a covenant contained in sections 5.11 or
8.3. For greater certainty, amounts payable in connection with any Claim
which, pursuant to this section 6.4.4, is not subject to any limit, will
not be aggregated with any other Claims that are subject to the limits set
out in section 6.4.3.
6.4.5 In the event that any Third Party Claim is of a nature that the Corel
Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to make a payment to any
Person (a "THIRD PARTY") with respect to the Third Party Claim before the
completion of settlement negotiations or related Proceedings, the Corel
Indemnified Party may make that payment and the applicable Jasc
Stockholder(s) will, promptly after demand by the Corel Indemnified Party,
reimburse the Corel Indemnified Party for any such payment. If the amount
of any liability of the Corel Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim
in respect of which that payment was made, as finally determined, is less
than the amount which was paid by the applicable Jasc Stockholder(s) to the
Corel Indemnified Party, the Corel Indemnified Party will, promptly after
receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of that
difference to the applicable Jasc Stockholder(s).
6.4.6 Except in the circumstance contemplated by sections 6.4.5 and 6.3.2.2
and whether or not the applicable Jasc Stockholder(s) assume control of the
negotiation, settlement or defense of any
-56-
Third Party Claim, the Corel Indemnified Party will not negotiate, settle,
compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written
consent of the Stockholder Representative (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld), unless that settlement includes an unconditional
release of the Corel Indemnified Party and the applicable Jasc
Stockholder(s).
6.4.7 The Corel Indemnified Party will not permit any right of appeal in
respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the
Stockholder Representative notice of the Third Party Claim and an
opportunity to contest the Third Party Claim.
6.4.8 The Corel Indemnified Party and the Jasc Stockholders will cooperate
fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, will keep each
other fully advised with respect to those claims (including supplying
copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available) and
will keep informed about and be prepared to discuss the Third Party Claim
with the other and with counsel at all reasonable times.
6.4.9 Notwithstanding section 6.3.2, the Jasc Stockholders will not settle
any Third Party Claim or conduct any related Proceeding in a manner which
would, in the opinion of the Corel Indemnified Party, acting reasonably,
have a material adverse impact on the Merger Subsidiary, Corel, the
Surviving Corporation or the Business.
6.4.10 Any payment by any Jasc Stockholder under this Agreement will be
treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration.
6.5 ESCROW AGREEMENT
Claims will be satisfied first out of, and to the extent of, the
Escrow Fund (if then still in existence) in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement and thereafter by recourse directly to the applicable Jasc
Stockholders. For greater certainty, payments to a Corel Indemnified Party from
the Escrow Fund will be comprised of both cash and Corel Common Shares,
allocated pro rata based upon the ratio of cash to Corel Common Shares in the
Escrow Fund at the time of that payment. The Escrow Agreement will provide for
the payment, on the date which is 18 months after the Closing Date, to each Jasc
Stockholder of an amount equal to the remaining balance of that Jasc
Stockholder's portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, less amounts in respect of
which a Corel Indemnified Party has asserted Claims as provided in and subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The
Escrow Agreement will further provide that the portion of the Escrow Fund which
is comprised of Corel Common Shares will be valued at $5.0 million for the
duration of the term of the Escrow Fund (and that value will be proportionately
reduced to the extent that Claims are satisfied by the payment from the Escrow
Fund of Corel Common Shares) for the purpose of satisfying Claims.
6.6 LIMITATION OF REMEDIES
A Corel Indemnified Party's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to
any and all Claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (including
Claims for breaches of representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements
contained in this Agreement) will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions
set out in this Article 6. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Corel
Indemnified Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action of that Corel
Indemnified Party against the Corporation and the Jasc Stockholders as a matter
of equity or under or based upon any Law or arising under or based upon common
law or otherwise, except to the extent specifically provided in this Article 6.

ARTICLE 8
GENERAL MATTERS
8.1 PUBLIC NOTICES
No press release or other announcement concerning the Transaction will
be made by the Jasc Stockholders, the Corporation, the Merger Subsidiary or
Corel without, in the case of those to be made by the Jasc Stockholders or the
Corporation, the prior written consent of Corel, and in the case of those to be
made by the Merger Subsidiary or Corel, without the prior written consent of the
Stockholder Representative (which consent, in either case, will not be
unreasonably withheld). The Principal Stockholders will assist the Merger
Subsidiary and/or Corel in informing the personnel and management of the
Corporation of the change in the ownership of the Corporation; provided always
that those communications will be made only by or with the prior approval of the
Merger Subsidiary and/or Corel.
8.2 STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE
Unless this Agreement explicitly provides to the contrary, each of the
Jasc Stockholders agree that the Stockholder Representative is authorized on
behalf of that Jasc Stockholder to do all acts under this Agreement on behalf of
that Jasc Stockholder which the Jasc Stockholder could do itself, including
accepting notices, granting consents, approvals or waivers, entering into
amendments and executing and delivering all documents specified to be executed
and delivered by "the Jasc Stockholders" (as opposed to by "each Jasc
Stockholder" or "each of the Jasc Stockholders"). In furtherance of the
foregoing authority, each of the Jasc Stockholders hereby appoints the
Stockholder Representative as the Jasc Stockholders true and lawful attorney
with full power and authority in the Jasc Stockholder's place and stead to act
in the capacity set out above in this section.
8.3 EXPENSES
8.3.1 The Jasc Stockholders, on the one hand (and as further specified in
section 5.11), and Corel and the Merger Subsidiary, on the other hand, will
be responsible for the expenses (including fees and expenses of legal
advisers, accountants, brokers, investment bankers (including, for greater
certainty, commissions and fees due to Xxxxxxxxx Agio Xxxxx as referenced
in section 3.5)
-58-
and other professional advisers) incurred by them, respectively, (and, in
the case of the Jasc Stockholders, including those expenses incurred by or
on behalf of the Corporation) in connection with the negotiation and
settlement of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction
(provided, however, that the Jasc Stockholders may cause the Corporation,
prior to the Time of Closing, to satisfy any of those expenses (but not
including those set out in sections 5.11.5 or 5.11.6) incurred by them or
by or on behalf of the Corporation).
8.3.2 Notwithstanding section 8.3.1 and as further specified in section
5.11, any filing fees payable in connection with any filings made under the
HSR Act will be shared equally between the Jasc Stockholders (or the
Corporation if the Jasc Stockholders cause the Corporation to satisfy those
fees prior to the Time of Closing), on the one hand, and Corel and the
Merger Subsidiary, on the other hand.
8.3.3 Notwithstanding section 8.3.1, if the Closing does not occur, the
Jasc Stockholders will, or will cause the Corporation to, reimburse Corel
and the Merger Subsidiary for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses related to investigating and consummating the Transaction
(including the negotiating and drafting of this Agreement), including the
fees and expenses of professional advisors (but excluding investment
banking fees), up to a maximum of $250,000; provided that Corel and the
Merger Subsidiary will only be entitled to those reimbursed expenses if the
Corporation and/or the Jasc Stockholders have, prior to July 7, 2005,
entered into a written agreement with respect to an alternate transaction
that would result in a change of control of the Corporation, in which
event, the reimbursement will be due and payable upon entering into that
written agreement to the alternate transaction.
8.3.4 If, following the Closing Date, Corel and/or the Jasc Stockholders
receive notice that a Stockholder Expense was not satisfied in full prior
to the Effective Time pursuant to section 5.11, the party receiving that
notice shall inform the other party of the deficiency within 3 Business
Days of receipt. Within 5 Business Days of delivery of the notice, to the
extent not otherwise addressed in section 5.11, the Jasc Stockholders will
pay to Corel the amount by which the applicable Stockholder Expense was not
satisfied prior to the Effective Time (the "STOCKHOLDER EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT
AMOUNT"). Each of the Jasc Stockholders will pay to Corel cash equal to a
pro rata portion of the Stockholder Expense Adjustment Amount based upon
the Jasc Stockholder's Ownership Percentage. If the entire Stockholder
Expense Adjustment Amount is not paid by the Jasc Stockholders within the 5
Business Day period, the unpaid balance of the Stockholder Expense
Adjustment Amount will be satisfied by a cash payment from the Escrow Fund
and each Jasc Stockholder that did not make its required payment during the
5 Business Day period will make a cash payment to the Escrow Fund equal to
that Jasc Stockholder's pro rata share of the Stockholder Expense
Adjustment Amount (based upon the Jasc Stockholder's Ownership Percentage),
all in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Jasc Stockholders will have no obligation to satisfy any
Stockholder Expense Adjustment Amount to the extent that Stockholder
Expense Adjustment Amount has been included in the Closing Working Capital
Amount such that the Closing Balance Sheet or the related working papers
specifically identifies that particular accrual as relating to the
particular Stockholder Expense Adjustment Amount. Any dispute under this
section 8.3.4 shall be handled in accordance with the dispute resolution
procedures described in section 2.11.
-59-
8.4 ASSIGNMENT
Except as provided in this section, no party may assign its rights or
benefits under this Agreement. The Merger Subsidiary may, at any time prior to
the Time of Closing:
8.4.1 assign all (but not less than all) of its rights and benefits under
this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Merger Subsidiary who delivers to
the Jasc Stockholders an instrument in writing executed by the assignee
confirming that it is bound by and will perform all of the obligations of
the Merger Subsidiary under this Agreement as if it were an original
signatory; and
8.4.2 assign, and each of Corel and/or Holdings may assign, all or a
portion of its rights and benefits under this Agreement by way of security
to any Person who provides financing to the Merger Subsidiary or its
Affiliates;
provided that no assignment contemplated above will relieve the Merger
Subsidiary, Corel or Holdings, as the case may be, of its obligations under this
Agreement. In the event of an assignment contemplated above pursuant to section
8.4.1, any reference in this Agreement to "Merger Subsidiary" will be deemed to
include the assignee.
After the Closing, each of Corel and/or the Surviving Corporation may
assign its rights and benefits under this Agreement to any Person who purchases
all or substantially all of the shares of the Merger Subsidiary or all or
substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Corporation.
The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns.

JASC STOCKHOLDER SIGNATURE PAGE
This signature page is executed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger among Corel Corporation, Corel JS Acquisition, Inc., Jasc Software, Inc.
and the Principal Stockholders dated as of October 25, 2004 (the "AGREEMENT").
All capitalized terms used in this signature page have the meanings given to
them in the Agreement. The undersigned Jasc Stockholder represents and warrants
to the Merger Subsidiary and Corel as follows and acknowledges that the Merger
Subsidiary and Corel are relying upon the following representations and
warranties in connection with the Transaction:
1.1 COREL COMMON SHARES. With respect to the Corel Common Stock, the Jasc
Stockholder:
1.1.1 understands that those shares have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act, and that the issuance of those shares is
being made in reliance on a private placement exemption;
1.1.2 is acquiring those shares for its own account;
1.1.3 acknowledges those shares are not freely transferable;
1.1.4 has had the opportunity to ask all questions and to obtain all other
information from the Merger Subsidiary and Corel as it has deemed necessary in
connection with its decision to acquire those shares; and
1.1.5 acknowledges that it is not acquiring those shares as a result of any
"general solicitation" or "general advertising," as those terms are used in
Regulation D under the Securities Act.
1.2 NO FOREIGN PERSON. The Jasc Stockholder that is acquiring shares forming
part of the Total Equity Consideration is not a foreign person within the
meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.
1.3 INCORPORATION AND STATUS OF THE JASC STOCKHOLDER. If an Entity, the Jasc
Stockholder is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of formation.
1.4 POWER OF THE JASC STOCKHOLDER AND DUE AUTHORIZATION. If an Entity, the Jasc
Stockholder has all necessary power and capacity to enter into, and to perform
its obligations under, this Agreement. Each of this Agreement and each of the
Related Agreements to which the Jasc Stockholder is a party has been duly
authorized by the Jasc Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Jasc Stockholder and is a valid and binding obligation of the
Jasc Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the usual
exceptions as to bankruptcy and the availability of equitable remedies. At the
Time of Closing, each of the Related Agreements to which the Jasc Stockholder is
a party will be duly executed and delivered by the Jasc Stockholder and will be
valid and binding obligations of the Jasc Stockholder, enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, subject to the usual exceptions as to bankruptcy
and the availability of equitable remedies, provided that (i) no representation
as to enforceability is made with respect to the agreements described in section
4.1.6 of the Agreement, and (ii) the enforceability of the indemnification
provisions contained in Schedule B to the Corel Minority Shareholders' Agreement
may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
1.5 TITLE TO, AND RIGHT TO SELL, PURCHASED SHARES. The Jasc Stockholder is the
sole registered and beneficial owner of those Jasc Shares set out opposite the
Jasc Stockholder's name on Schedule 3.1.3 with good and marketable title to
those Jasc Shares, free of all Charges. There are no subscriptions, warrants,
options, calls, or other rights or Contracts to which the Corporation or any
Jasc Stockholder is subject to or bound which in any way limit or restrict the
consummation of the Transaction (specifically in respect of that Jasc
Stockholder's Jasc Shares) and there are no shareholders agreements, pooling
agreements, voting trusts or other Contracts with respect to the voting of the
Jasc Shares other than as set out in Schedule 3.1.3. At or prior to the Time of
Closing, those agreements and restrictions will have been complied with or
terminated (and evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the Merger
Subsidiary to that effect will have been provided to the Merger Subsidiary).
1.6 NO CONTRAVENTION BY JASC STOCKHOLDERS. None of the entering into of this
Agreement or any Related Agreement, the consummation of the Transaction or the
performance by the Jasc Stockholder of that Jasc Stockholder's other obligations
under this Agreement or any Related Agreement to which it is a party (a) will
contravene, breach or result in any default under (1) if the Jasc Stockholder is
an Entity, the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, constating documents or
other organizational documents of that Jasc Stockholder, (2) any license,
permit, order, judgment, decree or Law to which the Jasc Stockholder is a party
or by which it may be bound or (b) contravenes, breaches or results in any
default under, or conflicts with or will conflict with or results in or will
result in any modification of any of the terms of or results in or will result
in the termination of or the creation of any Charge, acceleration right or other
right pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which the Jasc Stockholder is a
party or by which it may be bound or will in any way affect the continuation,
validity or effectiveness of any such Contract.
1.7 APPOINTMENT OF STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE. Each Jasc Stockholder designates
and appoints Xxxxxx X. Xxxx as the Stockholder Representative under this
Agreement and authorizes the Stockholder Representative to take such actions on
behalf of such Jasc Stockholder under this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, accepting notices, reviewing information provided to the Stockholder
Representative and executing the certificate required in section 4.1.1 on behalf
of each Jasc Stockholder, together with all such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Stockholder Representative may consult with legal
counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and

faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The
Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for actions he takes or fails to
take in the absence of his own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Re: Consent to Jasc/Corel Transaction
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are writing to give notice, and to the extent it is required to obtain your
consent, in connection with the [agreement title] (the "Agreement) between you
and Jasc Software, Inc. ("Jasc").
THE TRANSACTIONS - Jasc and Corel Corporation ("Corel") are proposing to enter
into a transaction that provides for (1) the transfer of certain of Jasc's
assets to Corel or a wholly owned subsidiary of Corel and (2) the merger of a
wholly owned subsidiary of Corel into Jasc, which will result in Jasc becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of Corel. Following the merger, Corel may desire to
transfer the Agreement to another one of its wholly owned subsidiaries (a "Corel
Transfer") and/or assign all or a portion of its rights and benefits under the
Agreement as security to any person who provides financing to Corel or its
subsidiaries.
On completion of the transaction and subject to receiving any necessary consent,
either Corel or a wholly owned subsidiary of Corel (the "Resulting
Counterparty") will be entitled to receive all the benefits and be obligated to
pay amounts payable and discharge all other obligations and liabilities under
the Agreement. You will be entitled to enforce the Agreement directly against
the Resulting Counterparty, in respect of its obligations and liabilities under
the Agreement, as if that entity had executed and delivered the Agreement
instead of Jasc (as it existed prior to the merger).
YOUR CONSENT- To the extent that the Agreement (1) entitles you to terminate;
(2) requires you to receive notice of the transactions; and/or (3) requires your
prior written consent to the transactions, we request that you:
- acknowledge receiving notice of the transactions;
- waive any rights to terminate the Agreement upon a change of
control and/or a Corel Transfer; and
- consent to the transactions (including a Corel Transfer and/or
grant of security interests).
PLEASE INDICATE YOUR CONSENT, AND YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE AGREEMENT WILL
CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT FOLLOWING THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BY
SIGNING BELOW ON THE ENCLOSED COPY OF THIS LETTER AND RETURNING THE SAME TO THE
UNDERSIGNED BY FAXING IT TO XXXXXXXX XXXXXX, CORPORATE COUNSEL AT JASC AT FAX
NUMBER (000) 000-0000 NO LATER THAN _____________, SEPTEMBER ______, 2004.

Jasc's new owner, wishes to continue this important relationship in the future.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Jasc Software, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Jasc Software, Inc. as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Jasc Software, Inc. as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

December 31, 2003
1. BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Jasc Software, Inc. (the Company) designs, develops, markets, and sells
general-use computer software throughout the world.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company accounts for the licensing of software in accordance with American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, as amended. The Company recognizes revenue when (i)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered; (iii) the sales prices is fixed or determinable;
and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue
upon shipment of its product in the United States from its distributors to
retailers and upon shipment to master representatives, internationally.
The Company has several retailers in the United States which operate on a
consignment basis, where revenue is recognized at the time the retailer sells
the Company's product to the end customer. The Company has two international
master representatives with whom it does business on a royalty basis, in which
profits are shared and recognized as royalty revenue at the time the master
representative sells the Company's product to the end customer. Royalty revenue
of $3,890,368 and $3,368,593 is included in net sales in 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
The Company offers product right of return terms to certain customers. This
right of return is accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 48,
Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists, with returns estimated based on
historical activity and reflected as a reduction of revenues.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
The Company classifies costs incurred for shipping in costs of goods sold. Any
shipping costs billed to customers are included in revenue.

Jasc Software, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of 90 days or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying cost of cash
equivalents at December 31, 2003 and 2002, approximates fair value.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist of materials and finished goods.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over three to seven years. The Company leases equipment
under capital leases. Amortization of these leased assets is included in
depreciation expense.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment losses when
indicators of impairment are present by comparing the undiscounted cash flows to
the assets' carrying amount. An impairment loss is recorded if necessary.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At December 31, 2003, the Company has A stock-based employee compensation plan
which is described more fully in Note 8. The Company accounts for this plan
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income for 2003 and 2002, as all options granted under those plans had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.
2003 2002
---------- ----------
Net income, as reported $3,370,746 $1,851,314
Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation
expense determined under fair-value-based
method for all awards (139,188) (74,623)
---------- ----------
Pro forma net income $3,231,558 $1,776,691
========== ==========
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
minimum value option pricing model. The minimum value option pricing model is
used by nonpublic companies and excludes stock price volatility of the stock in
the calculation of fair value of the option. The following assumptions were used
for options granted in 2003: risk-free interest rate of 4.06%; dividend yield of
0%; and an expected life of the option of ten years. The fair value of options
granted in 2003 and 2002 was $0.66 and $1.26 per share, respectively.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $2,217,687 and $1,418,174
in 2003 and 2002, respectively, and are included as marketing and selling
expense in the statements of income.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Product development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. SFAS No.
86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development
costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility and until the
product is generally available for sale. Costs incurred by the Company during
this phase have been immaterial. Therefore, the Company has not capitalized any
software development costs through December 31, 2003.

In 2003 and 2002, the Company acquired the technology of certain products. The
cost is being amortized over five years. The accumulated amortization as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, was $312,277 and $147,782, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the
Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the stockholders of an S
corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable
income. As a result, no provision for federal taxes has been included in the
financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATION
A certain prior year amount has been reclassified to conform to the current year
financial statement presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
All dollar amounts included herein are expressed in thousands of US$ unless
otherwise noted Certain per share information is expressed in units of US$
unless otherwise noted.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"). The
Company was acquired by Vector Capital ("Vector"), a venture capital company
based out of California, on August 28, 2003. The Company accounted for the
acquisition by allocating the purchase price paid by Vector to the Company's net
assets (push-down accounting). Because of the application of push-down
accounting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods ended prior to
August 29, 2003 (Predecessor) are not comparable to the consolidated financial
statements for the periods ended after August 28, 2003 (Successor) (Note 11).
Certain comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Founded in 1985, Corel Corporation is a technology company specializing in
content creation tools and business process management. Corel products are
available for users of most PCs, including International Business Machines
Corporation and IBM-compatible PCs.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corel and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Corel"). All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. Corel follows the equity method of accounting for
investments in other companies where it holds 20% or more of the outstanding
voting shares and has the ability to exert significant influence. Under the
equity method, Corel records its initial investment at cost and records its pro
rata share of earnings or losses of equity investments in its results of
operations.
DIFFERENTIAL REPORTING
The Successor Company, with the unanimous consent of its shareholders, has
elected to prepare its financial statements in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles, using the differential reporting
options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises described below from
the date of acquisition:
(a) Income taxes
The Company has elected to apply the differential reporting measurement option
allowed for income taxes to account for income taxes using the taxes payable
method.
(b) Goodwill
The Company has elected to apply the differential reporting measurement option
allowed for goodwill and other intangible assets to elect to test goodwill for
impairment only when an event or circumstance occurs that indicates that the
fair value of a reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies over the
estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired and is
not amortized.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Examples of
estimates include the provisions for sales returns and bad debts, the length of
product cycles and related capital asset lives. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION
Corel recognizes revenue from packaged software and licence fees when the
software is delivered, when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement
exists, when the fee is fixed and determinable, and when collection is probable.
Sales to distributors are subject to agreements allowing various rights of
return and price protection. Corel establishes provisions for estimated future
returns, exchanges and price protection. When telephone support is included for
a limited time (post contract support or "PCS", generally for 90 days) together
with the licence fee, the entire licence fee is recognized upon delivery of the
product and the insignificant costs to provide the support are accrued. When
support is provided together with an annual licensing fee, the entire fee is
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the licence agreement since
Corel does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair
market value of this PCS. Revenue from professional services and other services
are recognized as the services are delivered.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs related to software
products developed for sale are expensed as incurred unless they meet the
criteria for deferral under generally accepted accounting principles.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash includes cash equivalents, which are investments that are highly liquid and
have terms to maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
Cash equivalents typically consist of commercial paper, term deposits and
banker's acceptances issued by major North American banks, and corporate debt.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair
value.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments are investments that are generally held to maturity and
have terms greater than three months at the time of acquisition. Short-term
investments typically consist of commercial paper, Government of Canada Treasury
Bills and banker's acceptances. Short-term investments are carried at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates their fair value.
RESTRICTED CASH
Corel maintains restricted cash in investments with major financial institutions
as security against certain financial obligations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Corel utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to enhance its ability
to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk, which exists as part of its
ongoing operations. Gains and losses are recognized when realized.
INVENTORY
Inventory of product components is valued at the lower of average cost and
replacement cost. Finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost and net
realizable value.
LONG LIVED ASSETS
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization of licences commences with the
market release of each new software product and version. Depreciation and
amortization are calculated using the following rates and bases:
Capital assets
Furniture and equipment 20 - 33.3% declining balance
Computer equipment 33.3% straight line
Research and development equipment 20 - 50% declining balance
Leasehold improvements Straight line over the term of the lease
Intangible assets
Technology Intangible assets are amortized over their
useful life, generally 3 years, unless the
life is determined to be indefinite, in
which case no amortization is taken.
Licences, purchased software, The greater of: a) the ratio that current
deferred royalties gross revenues bear to the total of current
gross revenues and anticipated future gross
revenues or, b) the straight line method
over the remaining economic life, generally
estimated to be three to five years
Corel regularly reviews the carrying value of its long lived assets. If the
carrying value of its long lived assets exceeds the amount recoverable, a
write-down is charged to the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the
fair value of the assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
The functional currency of Corel and its subsidiaries, which are accounted for
as integrated foreign operations, is the US dollar. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the closing
period-end rates of exchange. The gains or losses resulting from the
remeasurement of these amounts have been reflected in earnings in the respective
periods. Non-monetary items and any related amortization of such items are
measured at the rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or
obligations incurred. All other income and expense items have been remeasured at
the average rates prevailing during the respective periods.
INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS
Investments tax credits, which are earned as a result of qualifying research and
development expenditures, are recognized and applied to reduce research and
development expense in the year in which the expenditures are made and their
realization is reasonably assured.
FISCAL 2002 - INCOME TAXES
Corel accounted for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under
this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
tax recoverable or payable, which would arise if assets were recovered and
liabilities settled at the financial statement carrying amounts. Future tax
assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes to these balances are
recognized in income in the period in which they occur.

HEMERA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
On July 17, 2000, Corel purchased a 23% interest in Hemera Technologies, Inc.
("Hemera"), a privately held company. As consideration for these shares, Corel
transferred its GraphicCorp division and related assets to Hemera. As of the
effective date of the transaction, the fair value of the GraphicCorp division
and its related assets was estimated at $9.7 million and the shares were valued
at this amount. No gain or loss was recognized on the transfer. During fiscal
2001, Hemera received additional financing, which resulted in Corel's interest
in Hemera being diluted to 21%. Corel's share of Hemera's operating results have
been incorporated into the statement of operations. Due to the continued losses
experienced by Hemera, the Company wrote of the balance of the investment in the
third quarter of fiscal 2003.
LINUXFORCE, INC.
In December 1999, Corel purchased, and currently maintains, a 33% interest in
LinuxForce, Inc., a privately held company, for cash. Corel's share of
LinuxForce, Inc.'s operating results was nominal in fiscal 2003 and 2002. Due to
LinuxForce's continued losses and limited resources of funding, the Company
wrote off the balance of the investment in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
INVESTMENTS RECORDED AT COST
Corel owns 1,193,824 shares of common stock of GraphOn Corporation ("GraphOn").
Corel has accounted for the cost of this investment under the first-in,
first-out method. GraphOn's most recent audited financial statements included a
"going-concern note" which raises substantial doubt on the company's ability to
continue as a going concern without further funding. GraphOn's cash reserves
have continued to deteriorate over the subsequent two quarters. Accordingly, the
Company wrote off its investment in GraphOn in fiscal 2003.

FISCAL 2002 TECHNOLOGY WRITE-DOWN
In fiscal 2002, circumstances suggested the possible impairment of technology.
An independent valuation of the majority of Corel's intangible assets indicated
an impairment in value existed. The independent valuator relied primarily on the
income approach, under which fair market value is a function of the future
revenue expected to be generated by an asset, net of all allocable expenses. The
income approach focuses on the income-producing capability of the developed
software and the core technology, and best represents the present value of the
future economic benefits expected to be derived. Corel prepared a valuation on
the intangible assets not covered in the independent valuator's report. This
valuation resulted in a total write off of $17.8 million, which included a
write-off of technology acquired from SoftQuad Software, Ltd. ("Softquad") of
$11.0 million and technology acquired from Micrografx, Inc. ("Micrografx") of
$6.7 million. The technology write-offs were non cash charges to income.
5. FISCAL 2002 IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
In fiscal 2002, circumstances suggested that Corel's goodwill was impaired and
that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Following a review, Corel
determined that the impairment loss to be recognized was the full carrying
amount. The total non cash charge was $49.9 million consisting of $36.3 million
associated with the acquisition of Micrografx and $13.6 million associated with
SoftQuad.
6. SOFTQUAD ACQUISITION
On March 15, 2002, Corel completed the acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding stock of SoftQuad, a Canadian-based developer of XML-enabling
technologies and commerce solutions for e-Business. Corel's consolidated
statements of operations reflect the results of operations of SoftQuad from the
date of acquisition.
The aggregate purchase price paid was approximately $18.1 million, including
11,071,833 common shares of Corel at a value of $16.9 million. The components of
the aggregate purchase price were as follows (in thousands)
Common shares $16,897
Other costs of acquisition 1,226
-------
Total purchase price $18,123
=======
Other costs of acquisition include professional fees and other costs directly
related to the acquisition.
The purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as
follows:
Cash $ 771
Other current assets 839
Core technology 4,456
Developed software 10,858
Property and equipment 161
Future tax liabilities (5,957)
Bridge loan from Corel (2,150)
Other liabilities (4,488)
-------
Net assets acquired 4,490
Total purchase price 18,123
-------
Goodwill $13,633
=======
The estimates of fair value were determined by Corel's management based on
information furnished by the management of SoftQuad and an independent valuation
of developed software and in-process research and development projects.
To determine the fair market value of the core technology and the developed
software, Corel considered the three traditional valuation approaches: the cost
approach, the market approach and the income approach.
The independent valuator relied primarily on the income approach, under which
fair market value is a function of the future revenue expected to be generated
by an asset, net of all allocable expenses. The income approach focuses on the
income-producing capability of the developed software and the core technology,
in arriving at the present value of the future economic benefits expected to be
derived.

Corel is a party to a number of additional claims arising in the ordinary course
of business relating to employment, intellectual property and other matters.
Based on its review of the individual matters, Corel believes that such claims,
individually, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
position or results of operations but, in the aggregate, may have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
Such possible effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
8. LONG TERM DEBT
TERM LOAN AND LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a secured term loan with Xxxxx Fargo Foothill for $10.0 million.
It is repayable in 42 equal monthly installments of $238 USD beginning January
1, 2004 and is secured by the assets of the Company. Interest of the greater of
i) 6.0% or ii) prime plus 3.5% is charged to the daily balance of the loan and
paid monthly. The principal payments due in fiscal 2004 are $2,619.
Associated with the term loan is a revolving line of credit secured by certain
accounts receivable. Xxxxx Fargo Foothill will advance up to $7.5 million
subject to the borrowing base availability to the Company. The line of credit
expires on August 25, 2006. Any funds advanced on the line of credit are repaid
with collections from the related receivables. Interest of the greater of i)
6.0% or ii) prime plus 2.5% is charged to the outstanding daily balance. There
is also a letter of credit fee of 2.5% of the undrawn balance charged directly
to the line on a monthly basis. As of November 30, 2003 there were no funds
advanced on the line of credit.
SUBORDINATED DEBT
The Company has a note payable to a related party in the amount of $10.0 million
that is subordinated in favour of the debt to Xxxxx Fargo Foothill. The note
payable matures August 25, 2006, is non-interest bearing and is secured by a
general security agreement.
The Company has a demand note payable to a related party in the amount of $6,973
million that is subordinated in favour of the debt to Xxxxx Fargo Foothill.
Additional advances may be requested by the Company under this agreement and may
be fulfilled at the discretion of the lender. The demand note payable is
non-interest bearing and is secured by a general security agreement.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The primary objective of Corel with respect to short-term investments is
security of principal. Corel manages its investment credit risk through a
combination of the (i) selection of securities with an acceptable credit rating;
(ii) selection of term to maturity, which in no event exceeds one year in
length; and (iii) diversification of debt issuers.
Included in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of November 30,
2003 and November 30, 2002 were corporate debt amounts of $8.0 million and $10.0
million, respectively. These amounts were repaid, in full, at maturity in
December 2003 and December 2002, respectively. All of Corel's short-term
investments as at November 30, 2003 had maturity dates of less than two months
from year end. Corel's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments are denominated predominantly in US dollars.
Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited
due to the diversity of Corel's channel arrangements. Corel has credit
evaluation, approval and monitoring processes intended to mitigate potential
credit risks. Xxxxxx Micro Inc. accounted for $2.8 million (22.2%) and $8.7
million (43.1%) of accounts receivable at November 30, 2003 and November 30,
2002, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, unless
otherwise noted.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS
Corel manages its financial exposure to certain foreign exchange fluctuations
with the objective of minimizing the impact of foreign currency exchange
movements on its operations.
To meet this objective Corel enters into foreign exchange forward contracts from
time to time for terms of less than twelve months. Contracts are with major
Canadian chartered banks, and therefore non-performance by a counterparty is
considered unlikely. As at November 30, 2003, Corel had US dollar foreign
exchange forward contracts with maturity dates from January 9, 2004 to November
26, 2004 to purchase a total of CDN $13.6 million (estimated fair value CDN
$14.1 million). As at November 30, 2002, Corel had US dollar foreign exchange
forward contracts with maturity dates from December 23, 2002 to August 8, 2003
to purchase a total of CDN $9.7 million (estimated fair value CDN $9.8 million).
10. SHARE CAPITAL
COMMON SHARES - PREDECESSOR
There were an unlimited number of common shares ("Predecessor Common Shares")
authorized at November 30, 2002.
On October 30, 2001, Corel completed the acquisition of Micrografx, Inc. The
aggregate purchase price paid, including acquisition costs of $1.5 million, was
approximately $33.8 million consisting of 6,894,250 Predecessor Common Shares
valued at $16.0 million and participation rights valued at $16.3 million, which
were settled for cash in October 2002
On March 15, 2002, Corel completed the acquisition of SoftQuad. The aggregate
purchase price paid was approximately $18.1 million, consisting of 11,071,833
Predecessor Common Shares valued at $16.9 million and the remaining amount
consisting of $1.2 million in acquisition costs.
Holders of stock options for Predecessor Common Shares were given the option to
elect to receive the amount above the exercise price up to $1.05 ($1.4820 CAD)
per share. All stock options not exercised or exchanged, expired on August 30,
2003.
COMMON SHARES - SUCCESSOR
On August 28, 2003 Vector purchased the outstanding Predecessor Common Shares of
the Company. As part of the Arrangement the Company was authorized to issue an
unlimited number of Series B Shares and an unlimited number of Corel New Common
Shares. Each of the Predecessor Common Shares that were not held by Vector were
converted into one fully paid and non-assessable Corel New Common Share and one
Corel Series B share. Vector purchased and subsequently canceled the balance of
the Corel New Common Shares for $0.30 per share and the Corel Series B Shares
for $0.75 per share. The Predecessor Common Shares held by Vector were converted
into 3.5 Corel New Common Shares resulting in 43,750,000 Corel New Common Shares
issued and outstanding.
PREFERRED SHARES - PREDECESSOR
There were an unlimited number of participating, convertible, non-voting,
non-redeemable Series "A" preferred shares ("Series "A" preferred shares')
authorized at November 30, 2002. The dividend rights were the same as for common
shares, other than dividends or other distributions to the extent payable in the
form of common shares. Dividends on each full and each fractional Series "A"
preferred shares were cumulative.
In the event of liquidation of Corel, the greater of the $5.625 per share
purchase price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, and the amount per share
that could be distributed to common shareholders, assuming the conversion of the
Series "A" preferred shares, would be distributed to the holders of the
preferred shares. If such payment is made, Series A preferred shareholders will
have no further claim on assets. On March 24, 2003 Vector acquired 22,890,000 of
the Series "A" preferred shares. On August 18, 2003, Vector converted 12,500,000
shares into Predecessor Common Shares.
PREFERRED SHARES - SUCCESSOR
As a result of the acquisition by Vector, the balance of the Series A Preferred
Shares held by Vector (10,390,000 shares) were converted one for one into New
Series A preferred shares with the same rights and obligations as the
Predecessor Series 'A' Preferred shares..
11. VECTOR ACQUISITION
On August 28, 2003 Vector, including Vector cc Acquisition, Inc. ("Vector cc
Acquisition") acquired Corel (see note 10). The Company accounted for the
transaction as a business combination by applying push down accounting and
consequently revalued its balance sheet to reflect the fair market value of the
assets and liabilities of the Company with a corresponding $8.5 million increase
to goodwill. Subsequent to the acquisition, Corel Corporation amalgamated with
Vector cc Acquisition. The following charts summarizes the changes made to the
accounts of the Company as a result of the comprehensive revaluation.

NOTE
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"). The
Company was acquired by Vector Capital ("Vector"), a venture capital company
based out of California, on August 28, 2003. The Company accounted for the
acquisition by allocating the purchase price paid by Vector to the Company's net
assets (push-down accounting). Because of the application of push-down
accounting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods ended prior to
August 29, 2003 (Predecessor) are not comparable to the consolidated financial
statements for the periods ended after August 28, 2003 (Successor)
