The Merger shall become effective on the date (the "Effective Date") and at the time (the "Effective Time") of filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such other time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger as filed. If the Delaware Secretary requires any changes in the Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing its certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Click2learn, Merger Sub and IntelliPrep will execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to conform to the substantive portions of the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Article 1 thereof shall be amended to read as follows: "The name of this corporation is IntelliPrep Technologies, Incorporated" Thereafter, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation may be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by law.

1.7 Conversion of Shares.
1.7.1 Exchange Ratio. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:
(a) Treasury Shares. All shares of any class of capital stock of IntelliPrep held by IntelliPrep as treasury shares shall be canceled.
(b) Conversion of Common Shares Outstanding. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of IntelliPrep ("IntelliPrep Common Stock") shall be converted into the right to receive from Click2learn shares of Click2learn common stock, $.01 par value per share (''Click2learn Common Stock"), with the exchange ratio for IntelliPrep Common Stock to be determined by allocating 1,812,497 shares of Click2learn Common Stock to the holders of IntelliPrep Common Stock, assuming the exercise of all outstanding Warrants (as defined in Section 2.3(c) below) and other rights to purchase IntelliPrep Common Stock, whether vested or unvested and regardless of any restrictions on conversion or exercise, but excluding the impact of any Options (as defined in Section 1.7.1(f) below) and thereby deriving an exchange ratio for each share of IntelliPrep Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio"); provided, however that any Warrant that terminates by its terms in connection with the Merger shall not be included in determining the Exchange Ratio except to the extent that such Warrant has actually been exercised. The shares of Click2learn Common Stock so issued shall be referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration." The number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock to be issued to each stockholder of IntelliPrep under this Section 1.7.1(b) shall be calculated by aggregating all shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock held by each such stockholder, so that such number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock to be issued shall be equal to the number of shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock held by such stockholder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with fractional shares of Click2learn Common Stock being rounded to the nearest whole number pursuant to Section 1.7.3.
(c) Escrow Arrangements.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to effectiveness of the Merger, 181,250 shares of Click2learn Common Stock, as adjusted to take into account the rounding of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.7.1(c)(iii) (the "Indemnification Escrow Shares") shall be deposited in escrow with Mellon Investor Services LLC (the "Escrow Agent") to satisfy any indemnification obligations under Article 8, to be held and administered in accordance with an Indemnification Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.7.1(c)(i) (the "Indemnification Escrow Agreement"), such Indemnification Escrow Shares to be withheld and deducted, pro rata as provided in Section 8.5(d), from the shares of Click2learn Common Stock otherwise issuable to each stockholder of IntelliPrep Common Stock at the Effective Time.
(ii) In addition to the escrow arrangement established pursuant to Section 1.7.1(c)(i), and subject to effectiveness of the Merger, 10% of the shares of
2
Click2learn Common Stock, as adjusted to take into account the rounding of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.7.1(c)(iii) that are issuable as a result of the Merger (i) to the Principals and (ii) upon conversion of shares issued in connection with the investment in Intelliprep made on April 17, 2001 (the "Special Liability Escrow Shares") shall be deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent to satisfy any indemnification obligations under Article 8 with respect to the Revenue Targets (as defined in Section 8.4 below), to be held and administered in accordance with a Special Liability Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.7.1(c)(ii) (the "Special Liability Escrow Agreement"), such Special Liability Shares to be withheld and deducted, pro rata as provided in Section 8.5(d), from the shares of Click2learn Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Principals at the Effective Time.
(iii) All such Indemnification Escrow Shares and Special Liability Shares shall be free of any other escrow or pledge obligation. By approving the Merger at a special meeting of the stockholders or by written consent, by delivering their certificates representing shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7.2, or by signing this Agreement (in the case of the Principals), the stockholders shall agree to be bound with respect to the indemnification obligations of the stockholders and the procedures set forth in Article 8. Fractional shares of Click2learn Common Stock shall not be deposited in escrow. In lieu thereof, each stockholder shall round such fractional share to the nearest whole number with 0.5 being rounded up and deposit into escrow such number of full shares of Click2learn Common Stock. The Indemnification Escrow Shares and the Special Liability Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent in book entry form. Notwithstanding the escrow of the Indemnification Escrow Shares and the Special Liability Escrow Shares, cash dividends or other non-stock distributions declared and paid on such shares shall continue to be paid by Click2learn to the stockholders and all voting rights with respect to such shares shall inure to the benefit of and be enjoyed by such stockholders. Any securities received by the Escrow Agent in respect of any Indemnification Escrow Shares and Special Liability Escrow Shares held in escrow as a result of any stock split or combination of shares of Click2learn Common Stock, payment of a stock dividend or other stock distribution in or on shares of Click2learn Common Stock or change of Click2learn Common Stock into any other securities pursuant to or as a part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation of Click2learn, or otherwise, shall be held by the Escrow Agent as, and shall be included within the definition of, Indemnification Escrow Shares and Special Liability Escrow Shares, as applicable. The Indemnification Escrow Shares and the Special Liability Escrow Shares shall be available to satisfy any indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 8.
(d) Merger Sub Shares. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(e) Warrants. Each outstanding Warrant to purchase shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock shall, unless such Warrant shall be exercised prior to consummation of, or shall terminate by its terms in connection with, the Merger, be assumed by Click2learn and shall constitute a Warrant to purchase that number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio and the number of shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock subject to such Warrant, at a price per share (rounded to the nearest $0.01) equal to the aggregate exercise price for the shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock subject to such Warrant divided by the number of full shares of Click2learn Common Stock deemed to be purchasable pursuant to such Warrant; provided, however, that the number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Warrant shall not include any
3
fractional shares, and, at the time of assumption of such Warrant, such fractional interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, with 0.5 being rounded up.
(f) Options. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock issued pursuant to Intelliprep's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the "IntelliPrep Option Plan"), whether or not vested or exercisable (the "Options"), shall, unless such Option shall be exercised prior to the consummation of, or shall terminate by its terms in connection with, the Merger, be assumed by Click2learn and shall constitute an option to acquire, on the same vesting terms, and on substantially the same other terms and conditions as were applicable under such assumed Option, that number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio and the number of shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock subject to such Option, at a price per share (rounded to the nearest $0.01) equal to the aggregate exercise price for the shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock subject to such Option divided by the number of full shares of Click2learn Common Stock deemed to be purchasable pursuant to such Option; provided, however, that the number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Option shall not include any fractional shares, and, at the time of such assumption upon the last exercise of such Option, such fractional interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, with 0.5 being rounded up. Click2learn shall assume the obligations of IntelliPrep under the IntelliPrep Option Plan and shall comply with the terms of the IntelliPrep Option Plan as they apply to the Options assumed as set forth above.
(g) Appraisal Rights. Holders of shares of IntelliPrep Capital Stock who have not agreed to a waiver of such rights and who complied with all the requirements for perfecting appraisal rights, as required under Delaware Law, shall be entitled to their rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares (the "Appraisal Shares"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Appraisal Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to dissent, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the shares of Click2learn Common Stock to which such holder is then entitled under this Agreement and Delaware Law, without interest thereon and upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Appraisal Shares held by a stockholder who has not agreed to waive such rights and who has perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall not be converted into Click2learn Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.7.1.
(h) Recapitalizations; Stock Splits. If, prior to the Effective Time, Click2learn recapitalizes through a split-up of its outstanding shares of capital stock into a greater number, or a combination of its outstanding shares of capital stock into a lesser number, reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its outstanding shares of capital stock into the same or a different number of shares of other classes of capital stock, or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares of capital stock payable in shares or securities convertible into shares, the number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock into which the shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock are to be converted, and the number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each assumed Option, will be adjusted appropriately so as to maintain the proportionate interests of the holders of IntelliPrep Common Stock and Options and the holders of shares of capital stock of Click2learn.
1.7.2 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Procedure. Click2learn shall mail prior to the Closing Date to each holder of record (as of the date 20 business days prior to the Closing Date) of a certificate or
4
certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock (and as soon as practicable to stockholders that become holders of IntelliPrep Common Stock subsequent to such record date, if any), other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.7.1(a), (i) a letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.7.2 and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the certificates in exchange for certificates representing Click2learn Common Stock. Upon surrender of a certificate for cancellation together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Click2learn, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, by the later of (a) ten business days following the Effective Time and (b) ten business days following the surrender of such certificate, a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Click2learn Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.7.1, and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled; provided, however, that the certificates representing the Indemnification Escrow Shares and the Special Liability Escrow Shares shall be retained by the Escrow Agent in book-entry form in accordance with the Indemnification Escrow Agreement or the Special Liability Escrow Agreement, as applicable.
(b) Lost Certificates. In the event that any certificates representing shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the stockholder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Click2learn shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the shares of Click2learn Common Stock that such stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.7.1; provided, however, that Click2learn may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require such stockholder to provide Click2learn and/or its transfer agent with a reasonable and customary indemnity agreement and post a bond against any claim that may be made against Click2learn and/or its transfer agent with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(c) Other Exchange Terms. The shares of Click2learn Common Stock that each stockholder of IntelliPrep shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger (including the Indemnification Escrow Shares and the Special Liability Escrow Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. No interest shall accrue on the Merger Consideration. If the Merger Consideration (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any person other than the person in whose name the certificate or certificates representing shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that the person requesting such exchange pay to Click2learn any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate or certificates so surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Click2learn that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Click2learn nor any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable law, including abandoned property, escheat and similar laws to the extent required under law to be so delivered.
1.7.3 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Click2learn Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger, and no dividend, stock split or other distribution with respect to Click2learn Common Stock shall relate to any such fractional interest, and any such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a security holder. The aggregate number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock a stockholder of IntelliPrep is entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, with 0.5 being rounded up.
5
1.7.4 No Further Transfers. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of any shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing shares of IntelliPrep Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be forwarded to Click2learn and shall be canceled and exchanged in accordance with this Section 1.7.
1.8 Principal Representative. By approving the Merger at a special meeting of stockholders or by written consent of the stockholders (or by virtue of his, her or its signature to this Agreement), each stockholder of IntelliPrep shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (the "Principal Representative"), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as his, her or its representative and true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act in his, her or its name, place and stead as contemplated by Article 8 and to execute in the name and on behalf of such stockholder the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Special Liability Escrow Agreement and any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document to be delivered by the stockholders in connection with the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and the Special Liability Escrow Agreement, as applicable. In the event Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx should resign, die or otherwise become unable to act as the Principal Representative, then Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx shall become the successor Principal Representative with the same powers and duties as the former.

8.4 Indemnification by Principals for Failure to Meet Revenue Targets. Click2learn is entering into this Agreement and consummating the Merger based on the understanding that the customers of IntelliPrep identified herein (the "Named Accounts") will generate at least $1,100,000 in recognizable revenue from the Products and services related to the Products during the period from the Closing through December 31, 2001 (the "Revenue Target").

36
provided in the Special Liability Escrow Agreement. "Revenue Target Shortfall" means the amount by which the Revenue Target exceeds the actual recognized revenue, determined in accordance with AICPA SOP 97-2—Software Revenue Recognition Statement of Position and generally accepted accounting principles, from the Named Accounts during the period from the Closing through December 31, 2001. The "Named Accounts" consist of the following six customers of IntelliPrep: Microsoft, LearnNow, Xirris, DevX, Universal College of Learning and Xxxxxxx.xxx and their "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act).
8.5 Threshold and Limitations.
(a) Except in connection with indemnification claims arising out IntelliPrep Losses or Click2learn Losses based on fraud, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to receive any indemnification payment with respect to any claims for indemnification under Section 8.2 or 8.3 ("Claims") until the aggregate Losses or Click2learn Losses, as applicable, for which such Indemnified Parties would be otherwise entitled to receive indemnification exceed $25,000 (the "Threshold"); provided, however, that once such aggregate IntelliPrep Losses or Click2learn Losses exceed the Threshold, such Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification only for the aggregate amount of all IntelliPrep Losses or Click2learn Losses in excess of the Threshold. The limitations set forth in this Section 8.5(a) shall not apply to any claims asserted by Click2learn against the Principals pursuant to Section 8.4.
(b) Except for Click2learn Losses based on fraud, the aggregate liability of any stockholder of IntelliPrep pursuant to this Article 8 shall be limited to his, her or its pro rata portion of the Indemnification Escrow Shares or the Special Liability Escrow Shares, as applicable, as determined under Section 8.5(d).
(c) Except for IntelliPrep Losses based on fraud, the aggregate liability of Click2learn pursuant this Article 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the product of 181,250 multiplied by the average of the closing price of the Click2learn Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the Effective Date.
(d) Except for claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, an indemnifying party shall not be obligated to defend and hold harmless an Indemnified Party, or otherwise be liable to such party, with respect to any claims made by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 after the expiration of the Survival Period, except that indemnity may be sought after the expiration of the Survival Period if the process to make a claim for indemnification shall have been initiated prior to the expiration of such time period.
(e) The indemnification obligations of stockholders under this Article 8 shall be satisfied only by forfeiture to the Click2learn Indemnified Parties of his, her or its pro rata portion of the Indemnification Escrow Shares or the Special Liability Escrow Shares, as applicable in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8 and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement or Special Liability Escrow Agreement, as applicable. The aggregate value of Claims paid by means of the forfeiture to Click2learn of Indemnification Escrow Shares shall be deemed to reduce the total Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the stockholders of IntelliPrep pursuant to Section 1.7. Any such claims shall be deemed to reduce the Indemnification Escrow Shares or the Special Liability Escrow Shares, as applicable, pro rata, with respect to each stockholder or each Principal, as determined by reference to the number of shares of Click2learn Common Stock such stockholder is entitled to receive in the Merger as compared to all other stockholders.
8.6 Procedure for Indemnification. Whenever a Claim arises for indemnification under this Article 8, the parties shall comply with the notice and other procedures specified in the applicable Indemnification Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Claim for IntelliPrep Losses pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, the parties agree to comply with the notice and other
37
procedures (including those with respect to dispute resolution) specified in the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, as appropriate to reflect the parties seeking and defending against claims made for recovery of asserted losses, subject to the following: (a) all notices to Click2learn shall be to its General Counsel, (b) the IntelliPrep Indemnified Parties may act only through the Principal Representative, (c) the delivery of notices or instructions to the Escrow Agent shall not be required for indemnification and no such notices or instructions shall be given and (d) payments in satisfaction of IntelliPrep Losses shall be made directly by Click2learn to the IntelliPrep Indemnified Parties in immediately available funds pursuant to a written schedule to be provided by the Principal Representative to Click2learn at the time of the final resolution of a particular Claim (as to which schedule, Click2learn shall be entitled to rely). Notwithstanding the foregoing, one half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and expenses for the defense or handling of claims, as provided in Sections 4(b) and 4(d)(ii), respectively, of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, shall be paid by the Principals and, to the extent sufficient to cover such obligation, shall be satisfied by a deduction of such amount from the payment otherwise made by Click2learn to the IntelliPrep Indemnified Parties.
8.7 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided, the indemnification provisions of this Article 8 are the sole and exclusive remedy of any party to this Agreement for a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties hereto would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that the other parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof) in any competent court having jurisdiction over the parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity.
