AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 16, 2009, by and among UNIFY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), UCAC, INC, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and AXS-ONE INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms are defined as set forth in the Table of Defined Terms contained herein.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of such corporation and its respective stockholders that the Company and Parent combine through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger and declared the Merger advisable;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company shall be converted into shares of common stock of Parent at the rate set forth herein;

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations promulgated thereunder;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, certain holders (each a “Voting Stockholder” and collectively the “Voting Stockholders”) of Company Shares listed on Exhibit A-1 are entering into a stockholder agreement, in each case in the form attached as Exhibit A-2 hereto (each, a “Company Stockholders Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, certain holders (each a “Parent Voting Stockholder” and collectively the “Parent Voting Stockholders”) of Parent Shares listed on Exhibit B-1 are entering into a stockholder agreement, in each case in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 hereto (each, a “Parent Stockholders Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger; Effective Time; Closing

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and the Company shall be the successor or

surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the consummation of the Merger, is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the certificate of merger of Merger Sub and the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL as soon as practicable on or before the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective upon such filing or at such time thereafter as is provided in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article VIII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of counsel for Parent, on the second business day after all of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Merger as set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived in writing (other than conditions with respect to actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself), or such other date, time or place as is agreed to in writing by the Parties (the “Closing Date”).

1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation

2.1 Certificate of Incorporation; Name. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended, and the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Company’s name.

2.2 By-Laws. At the Effective Time, the by-laws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended.

ARTICLE III

Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation

3.1 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

3.2 Officers. The officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

ARTICLE IV

Merger Consideration; Conversion or Cancellation of Shares in the Merger; Exchange and
Treatment of Company Debt

4.1 Share Consideration for the Merger; Conversion or Cancellation of Shares in the Merger. At the Effective Time, the manner of converting or canceling shares of the Company and Parent shall be as follows:

(a) Conversion of Company Stock. Subject to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.3 hereof, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (collectively, “Company Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Company Shares described in Section 4.1(e) and any Dissenting Shares), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Parent (collectively, “Parent Shares”) determined by dividing 1,000,000 by the sum of (i) the number of Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the number of Company Shares issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All Company Shares to be converted into Parent Shares pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Company Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares, except the right to receive for each of the Company Shares, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2, the number of Parent Shares specified above and cash in lieu of fractional shares. The ratio of Company Shares per share of Parent Shares is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio.” Each Dissenting Share shall be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL and pursuant to Section 4.1(b) below.

(b) Appraisal Rights. Company Shares that have not been voted for approval of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and with respect to which written

objection to the Merger has been properly made in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive from Parent the Parent Shares otherwise issued with respect to such Company Shares at or after the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and, except as provided by applicable law, each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Dissenting Shares, other than such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) shall fail to validly perfect or shall waive or withdraw his, her or its objection or demand for payment of the fair value of his, her or its Shares, or if such Dissenting Shares (or such other Company Shares with respect to which appraisal rights have not terminated) become ineligible for such payment or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Dissenting Shares is not entitled to relief under Section 262 of the DGCL, then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event of withdrawal or ineligibility, whichever last occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares will cease to be Dissenting Shares (or, in the case of such other Company Shares, the appraisal rights shall have terminated) and each such Company Share will be converted into the right to receive, and will be exchangeable for, the Parent Shares into which such Dissenting Shares would have been converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a), without interest. The Company shall promptly give Parent notice of any objection to the Merger received by the Company from a Dissenting Shareholder, and Parent shall have the reasonable opportunity, at its sole expense, to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such objection. The Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Parent, or as required under the DGCL, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer or agree to settle, any such objection. Each Dissenting Shareholder or other shareholder who, pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares will receive payment therefor after the fair value therefor has been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions, and any Parent Shares that would have been issued with respect to such Dissenting Shares will be retained by Parent.

(c) Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted automatically into and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate representing any shares of Merger Sub shall continue to represent ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Outstanding Options. Each option to purchase Company Shares (each, a “Company Option”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and in accordance with the applicable Company Option Plans, be cancelled prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive an amount, if any, in cash equal to (i) the Change in Control Price of the Company Shares covered by such Company Option, less (ii) the exercise price of such Company Option. As used herein, the “Change in Control Price” means the higher of (A) the highest price per Company Share paid in connection with the Merger, or (B) the highest fair market value per

Company Share at any time during the sixty-day period immediately preceding the Effective Time. The Company shall cancel the Company Option Plans as of the Effective Date, and the sole remaining right of each holder of a Company Option after the Effective Date shall be to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 4.1(d). After the Effective Time, Parent shall grant options to purchase Parent Shares to continuing employees of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Parent’s customary incentive compensation policies and procedures.

(e) Outstanding Warrants. Each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Shares (each, a “Company Warrant”) shall be assumed by Parent (in accordance with the further provisions contained in Section 6.13) and each such assumed warrant shall be converted into and represent a warrant to purchase the number of Parent Shares (a “Substitute Warrant”), in substantially the same form as the corresponding Company Warrant, determined by multiplying (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Shares of $0.01. Parent will reserve a sufficient number of Parent Shares for issuance under this Section 4.1(e).

(f) Cancellation of Parent Owned and Treasury Stock. All of the Company Shares that are owned by Parent, any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or by the Company as treasury stock shall automatically cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and no Parent Shares shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(g) Adjustments to the Exchange Ratio. In the event of any reclassification, stock split or stock dividend with respect to Company Shares or Parent Shares, any change or conversion of Company Shares or Parent Shares into other securities or any other dividend or distribution with respect to Company Shares or Parent Shares (or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing should occur) prior to the Effective Time, appropriate and proportionate adjustments, if any, shall be made to the Exchange Ratio, and all references to the Exchange Ratio in this Agreement shall be deemed to be to the Exchange Ratio as so adjusted.

4.2 Payment for Shares in the Merger. The manner of making payment for Shares in the Merger shall be as follows:

(a) Exchange Agent. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall make available to American Stock Transfer & Trust, or other entity mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, a sufficient number of certificates representing the Parent Shares required to effect the delivery of the aggregate consideration in Parent Shares and cash for the Fractional Securities Fund required to be issued pursuant to Section 4.1 (collectively, the “Share Consideration” and the certificates representing the Parent Shares comprising such aggregate Share Consideration being referred to hereinafter as the “Stock Merger Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Share Consideration out of the Stock Merger Exchange Fund and the Fractional Securities Fund. The Stock Merger Exchange Fund and the Fractional

Securities Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “Certificates”) (i) a form of letter of transmittal, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parties (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment therefor. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and any other required documents, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive for each of the Company Shares represented by such Certificates the Share Consideration, without interest, allocable to such Certificates and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, such Certificates shall represent solely the right to receive the Share Consideration allocable to such Certificates.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions that are declared after the Effective Time on Parent Shares and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Time will be paid to Persons entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Parent Shares until such Persons surrender their Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(b) above. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Parent Shares are issued any dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time and payable with respect to such Parent Shares between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender. After such surrender there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Parent Shares are issued any dividends or other distributions on such Parent Shares which shall have a record date after the date of such surrender. In no event shall the Persons entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions be entitled to receive interest on such dividends or other distributions.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate representing Parent Shares is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such Parent Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) No Liability. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any of the Parties shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any Parent Shares, in accordance with Section 4.3, cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares or any dividend to which the holders thereof are entitled, delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable escheat law. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with

respect to the Parent Shares held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such Parent Shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(f) Termination of Funds. Subject to applicable law, any portion of the Stock Merger Exchange Fund and the Fractional Securities Fund which remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand of Parent, and any former stockholder of the Company shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their applicable claim for the Share Consideration for their Company Shares.

4.3 Cash For Fractional Parent Shares. No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of Parent Shares shall be entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled pursuant to Section 4.2 (after taking into account all Parent Shares then held of record by such holder) a cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) the fractional interest of a Parent Share to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled and (ii) the closing price of a Parent Share on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NCM”) on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time (the cash comprising such aggregate payments in lieu of fractional Parent Shares being hereinafter referred to as the “Fractional Securities Fund”).

4.4 Transfer of Shares after the Effective Time. All Parent Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares, and no further registration of transfers shall be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article IV.

4.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing Company Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Parent Shares, cash for fractional shares, if any, and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver an indemnification agreement as it may reasonably direct with respect to any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.6 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the relevant taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the

Company Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

4.7 Treatment of Company Debt.

(a) Exchange of Notes. Subject to the provisions below, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holders of existing Company convertible notes (the “Old Notes”) to agree as part of the Merger to exchange the Old Notes for Parent Shares. As of the date of this Agreement, the Old Notes have a principal and accrued interest value of approximately $12,900,000. At the Effective Time, the Old Notes will be exchanged for 2,100,000 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent), plus or minus the number of Parent Shares equal to (i) the Adjusted Working Capital, divided by (ii) five (5) (as such number may be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent). As used herein, “Adjusted Working Capital” is defined as the current assets of the Company as of the Closing Date, less the current liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date, provided that for purposes of this calculation, (x) “current liabilities” shall exclude the liabilities set forth on Section 4.7(a)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (y) “current liabilities” shall include the cost of cashing out the Company Options under Section 4.1(d), the outstanding balance, if any, under the Working Capital Note and the other liabilities set forth on Section 4.7(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Earn-Out Applicable to Holders of Old Notes. Holders of the Old Notes shall be eligible to receive additional Parent Shares on a pro rata basis pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.7(b) (the “Earn-Out”). The Earn-Out shall measure the Surviving Corporation’s net license revenue as recorded in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) on the financial statements of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (the “Net License Revenue”) for licensing any of the software or software applications of the Company acquired at Closing (the “Applications”), including any enhancements, improvements or derivate works, for a period of approximately one (1) year following the Closing, as more fully described below. For Net License Revenue over $2.0 million during such period, the holders of Old Notes shall collectively receive .35 Parent Shares (as such percentage may be adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent) for each $1.00 of Net License Revenue recorded during such period. After the holders of Old Notes have received in the aggregate 2,580,000 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent) under the Earn-Out, the Parent Shares issued as the Earn-Out shall be distributed one-half to the holders of Old Notes and one-half to the Management Members until the Management Members have received 171,250 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent) under the Earn-Out. Thereafter, any additional Parent Shares issued as Earn-Out shall be distributed solely to the holders of Old Notes. Any fractional shares allocable under this Section 4.7(b) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Earn-Out measurement period shall commence upon the Closing and end on July 31, 2010. The Parent Shares issued as Earn-Out will be issued quarterly, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of Unify’s fiscal quarters during the Earn-Out period. For

avoidance of doubt, Net License Revenue (a) does not include any fees recognized for performing any services, including any consulting services, maintenance services or support fees or any fees recognized in connection with licensing of any products or software, other than the Applications, and (b) includes (i) the amount of deferred license revenue for the Applications recorded on the Surviving Corporation’s books on the last day of the Earn-Out period, in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) any amounts invoiced to Group Technologies and its affiliates related to the licensing of the Applications during the Earn-Out period. In the case of so-called “bundled sales,” where Applications acquired hereunder are “bundled” with other software offered by Parent or its affiliates, or by Parent and a third party or parties, the amount of Net License Revenue allocable to the Applications acquired hereunder shall be used to determine the payments required hereunder. If Parent sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of the Company’s assets prior to the end of the Earn-Out period, or if Parent is acquired (by merger, tender offer, or otherwise) by a third-party acquirer prior to the end of the Earn-Out period, then (i) the Earn-Out period shall terminate; (ii) the holders of Old Notes shall be issued the number of Parent Shares, if any, equal to (x) 2,580,000 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent), minus (y) the number of Parent Shares previously issued to the holders of Old Notes under the Earn-Out; and (iii) the Management Members shall be issued the number of Parent Shares, if any, equal to (x) 171,250 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent), minus (y) the number of Parent Shares previously issued to the Management Members under the Earn-Out.

(c) Protective Provisions. The Parties acknowledge that the right of the holders of the Old Notes to the benefits of the Earn-Out described in Section 4.7(b) is an integral part of the consideration to be received pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent agrees that until the Earn-Out is determined and the Parent Shares have been issued to the holders of the Old Notes, Parent shall not take, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to take, any actions, or fail to take any actions with the specific intent of reducing or impairing the Earn-Out, and until such time, Parent shall use reasonable commercial efforts to:

(i) permit the holders of the Old Notes and their agents, attorneys and accountants to have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to all books and records of the Surviving Corporation for the purpose of auditing Parent’s compliance with this Section 4.7; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Surviving Corporation and shall be arranged through responsible officers of the Surviving Corporation designated for such purpose; and, provided, further, that if the audit results in any additional payments to the holders of Old Notes in excess of ten percent (10%) of the actual amounts paid to such holders, then Parent shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the auditor, in addition to any additional payments due and owing to the holders of Old Notes, all of which Parent will pay within twenty (20) days after completion of the audit; and

(ii) cause the books and records of the licensing of Applications and the calculation of Net License Revenues to be kept in a manner that makes calculation of such Net License Revenues reviewable by holders of Old Notes or their designees.

(b) (i) From and after the Solicitation Period End-Date until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not, and will not permit their respective directors, officers, investment bankers, affiliates, representatives and agents to, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage in, or enter into, any negotiations or discussions concerning any Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, the Company may (A) enter into one or more customary confidentiality agreements with applicable counterparties in furtherance of a Company Superior

Proposal, and (B) continue to take any of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above from and after the Solicitation Period End-Date with respect to any party that has made a Company Acquisition Proposal prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date or with whom the Company is having ongoing discussions or negotiations as of the Solicitation Period End-Date regarding a possible Company Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to the rights of the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a), in the event that, notwithstanding compliance with Section 6.3(b)(i), the Company receives a Company Superior Proposal the Company may, to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (in consultation with outside counsel) that such action would, in the absence of the foregoing proscriptions, be required by its fiduciary duties, participate in discussions regarding any Company Superior Proposal in order to be informed and make a determination with respect thereto. In such event, the Company shall, (A) no less than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such Company Superior Proposal, if practicable, inform Parent of the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Person making such Company Superior Proposal and (B) promptly keep Parent informed of the status including any material change to the terms of any such Company Superior Proposal.

(iii) As used herein, the term “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer relating to any (1) merger, consolidation, business combination, or similar transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (2) sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise, of assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions, (3) issuance, sale, or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase such securities, or securities convertible into such securities) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (4) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other similar type of transaction with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (5) tender offer or exchange offer for Company securities; in the case of (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above, which transaction would result in a third party (or its shareholders) acquiring more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of the Company or assets representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the net income, net revenue or total assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, (6) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or (7) public announcement of an agreement, proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the term “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall not include the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” means any offer made by a third party (including any affiliate of the Company) which, if consummated, would result in such third party (or its shareholders) owning, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company Shares then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together, and otherwise on terms which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (based on its consultation with a Updata Capital, Inc. or another financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and other such matters that it deems

relevant) would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company after consultation with its financial advisor, is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal and regulatory aspects thereof.

(c) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall, except as required by their fiduciary duties as determined in good faith in consultation with outside counsel, (i) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee of this Agreement or the Merger, (ii) approve, recommend or endorse any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement (each a “Company Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with outside counsel, such disclosure is necessary for the Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that, except as required by their fiduciary duties as determined in good faith and in consultation with outside counsel, neither the Company nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend, a Company Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Notwithstanding the obligations of the Company set forth in clause (i) of Section 6.3(c), (i) at any time prior to adoption of this Agreement by holders of Company Shares, other than in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may take the actions prohibited by clause (i) of Section 6.3(c) (and in each case modify accordingly the statement of the Company’s Board of Directors included or to be included in the Proxy Statement issued pursuant to Section 6.5) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and/or financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that the Company shall have, at least five (5) days prior to taking such action, provided to Parent written notice which shall state expressly that the Company intends to take such action, and (ii) in response to the receipt of a Company Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger and, in the case of a Company Superior Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer made directly to its stockholders, may recommend that its stockholders accept the tender or exchange offer (and in each case modify accordingly the statement of the Company’s Board of Directors included or to be included in the Proxy Statement issued pursuant to Section 6.5) (any of the foregoing actions in response to the receipt of a Company Superior Proposal, whether by the Board of Directors of the

Company or a committee thereof, a “Change of Recommendation”), if all of the following conditions in clauses (A) through (E) are met:

(A) A Company Superior Proposal with respect to it has been made and has not been withdrawn;

(B) The Company Stockholders Meeting has not occurred;

(C) The Company shall have at least five (5) days prior to a Change of Recommendation, provided to Parent written notice which shall state expressly (x) that the Company has received such Company Superior Proposal, (y) the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person or group making the Company Superior Proposal, and (z) that the Company intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so;

(D) The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded in good faith, after receipt of advice of its outside legal counsel and/or financial advisor, that, in light of such Company Superior Proposal, the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law; and

(E) The Company shall not have materially breached (directly or indirectly) any of the provisions set forth in this Section 6.3 with respect to obtaining such Company Superior Proposal and which breach is continuing.

(e) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 6.3, the Company will promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent, orally and in writing, if any Company Acquisition Proposal is made or proposed to be made or any information or access to properties, books or records of the Company is requested in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal, the principal terms and conditions of any such Company Acquisition Proposal or potential Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (and will disclose any written materials received by the Company in connection with such Company Acquisition Proposal, potential Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry) and the identity of the party making such Company Acquisition Proposal, potential Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. The Company will keep Parent advised of the status and details (including amendments and proposed amendments) of any such request or Company Acquisition Proposal.

The Company and Parent will, and will cause their accountants and lawyers to, use their reasonable efforts to have or cause the S-4 Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable, including, without limitation, causing their accountants to deliver necessary or required instruments such as opinions, consents and certificates, and will take any other action required or necessary to be taken under federal or state securities laws or otherwise in connection with the registration process.

6.8 Publicity. The Parties agree that they will consult with each other concerning any proposed press release or public announcement pertaining to the Merger in order to agree upon the text of any such press release or the making of such public announcement, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or national automated quotation system, in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Board of Directors of Parent or the Company withdraws its recommendation of this Agreement in compliance herewith, neither Party will be required to consult with or obtain the agreement of the other in connection with any press release or public announcement.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall use their best efforts to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and shall not knowingly take or fail to take any action which action or failure to act would jeopardize the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization within Section 368(a) of the Code.

become eligible to participate in such plans will be credited with periods of service with the Company before the Effective Time as if such service had been with Parent, as applicable.

(b) If required by Parent in writing delivered to the Company not less than five business days before the Effective Time, the Company shall, at the Effective Time or effective one day prior to the Effective Time contingent on the Closing occurring, (i) terminate any Company Plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Code Section 401(k) (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) and no further contributions shall be made to any 401(k) Plan after such termination, or (ii) freeze the 401(k) Plans and no further contributions shall be made to any 401(k) Plan after such freeze, or (iii) cause the 401(k) Plans to be merged in to the Parent 401(k) Plan as soon as administratively possible after the Closing Date and the participants of the 401(k) Plans shall be governed by the Parent 401(k) Plan. The Company shall provide to Parent (i) certified copies of resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, as applicable, authorizing such termination and (ii) an executed amendment to each 401(k) Plan in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent to conform the plan document for such 401(k) Plan with all applicable requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder relating to the tax-qualified status of such 401(k) Plan. To the extent the applicable 401(k) Plan has been amended pursuant to this section, Parent will not be obligated to make any matching or other employer contributions to any 401(k) Plan after the Merger.

(c) After the Effective Time, except to the extent that Parent continues Company Plans in effect, employees of the Company who become employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries will be eligible for employee benefits that Parent or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, provides to its employees generally and, except as otherwise required by this Agreement, on substantially the same basis as is applicable to such employees, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require any duplication of benefits. Parent will or will cause its Subsidiaries to give credit to employees of the Company, with respect to the satisfaction of the limitations as to pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods for participation and coverage that are applicable under the employee welfare benefit plans (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) of Parent and credit employees of the Company with an amount equal to the credit that any such employee had received as of the Effective Time towards the satisfaction of any co-insurance, co-payment, deductible or out-of-pocket limit under the comparable employee welfare benefit plans of the Company.

6.18 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer or employee of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the Parties agree to cooperate and defend against and respond thereto to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company. It is understood and agreed that

after the Effective Time, Parent and Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (to be reimbursed within ten (10) business days of receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation of a request therefor) in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (“Damages”) in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time), the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that (A) Parent shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties and upon such assumption Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (B) Parent shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to pay for only one counsel for each Indemnified Party, (C) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (D) Parent shall not be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that a final judgment determines that any Damages may not be reimbursed under the DGCL. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.18, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify Parent thereof; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of Parent under this Section 6.18 except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices Parent. Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.18 continue in full force and effect without limit as to time.

If Parent or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.18.

Parent shall ensure than any officer or director of the Company who becomes an executive officer or director of Parent on or after the Effective Time shall, at the time such person becomes an executive officer or director of Parent, be named as an insured under Parent’s directors and officers liability policy to the same extent as other executive officers and directors of Parent.

(b) The Company shall purchase for the benefit of the persons serving as executive officers and directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for seven (7) years after the Effective Time, under either the Company’s policy in existence on the date hereof, or under a policy of similar coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are generally not less

advantageous than the Company’s current policy, and in either case, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time which were committed by such executive officers and directors in their capacity as such (“Tail Insurance”). The Company shall not purchase Tail Insurance with a premium of more than $125,000. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such Tail Insurance to be maintained during the seven-year period.

6.19 Takeover Statute.

If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Parent and the members of their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.20 Accountants’ “Comfort” Letters.

The Company and Parent will each use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to each other letters from their respective independent accountants, dated a date within two business days before the date of the Registration Statement, in form reasonably satisfactory to the recipient and customary in scope for comfort letters delivered by independent accountants in connection with registration statements on Form S-4 under the Securities Act.

6.21 Management Severance. Each executive management member of the Company listed on Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Management Member”) has an employment agreement which entitles him to certain severance benefits in event of his involuntary separation from service without cause in connection with or subsequent to a change in control of the Company. Each Management Member has agreed to and will prior to the Effective Time (a) amend his employment agreement effective as of the Closing to reduce the severance benefit to the amount which he would be entitled to receive, at the original salary level applicable to such Management Member set forth on Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each, “Original Salary Level”), in the event that his involuntary separation from service without cause and without a change in control (“Regular Severance”) and (b) allocate the amount of his Regular Severance over the number of months required to continue his gross base salary at the Original Salary Level until such Regular Severance is fully paid in cash, as set forth on Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. In addition, the Company will amend each Management Member’s employment agreement such that in the event of an involuntary separation from service without cause in connection with the change of control each Management Member will be eligible to receive additional compensation in the form of earn-outs (collectively, the “Management Performance Shares”) based upon Net License Revenue recorded over the same period in which the holders of Old Notes will be eligible to receive their Earn-Out shares, as set forth on Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Management Performance Shares shall be earned in accordance with the provision of Section 4.7(b), so that after holders of Old Notes have received 2,580,000 Parent Shares (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent) as Earn-Out, the Management Members will receive one-half of the next 342,500 Parent Shares (as adjusted to

reflect stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits of Parent) distributed as Earn-Out, with the Management Performance Shares allocated to the Management Members in proportion to their total change of control severance benefit before amendment of their employment agreements, as set forth on Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The maximum severance benefits due to a Management Member will be the Regular Severance set forth in Section 6.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and such Management Member’s applicable percentage of the Management Performance Shares distributed under Section 4.7(b). Regular Severance shall be paid in accordance with the Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s regular payroll policies. Issuance of the Management Performance Shares will be made to the Management Members on the same basis as the issuance of Earn-Out Parent Shares to the holders of Old Notes. The Management Members will also receive subsidized COBRA benefits as described in their employment agreements in the event of an involuntary separation from service without cause in connection with a change in control. Each Management Member’s employment will terminate as of the Closing unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and such Management Member. The protective provisions described in Section 4.7(c) of this Agreement shall apply for the benefit of the Management Members as if incorporated in this Section 6.21.

8.5 Effect of Termination; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.5, in the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in this Article VIII, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Parties or their respective affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders except (x) with respect to the treatment of confidential information pursuant to Section 6.7, the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.1, and Article IX generally, (y) to the extent that such termination results from the willful breach of a Party of any of its representations or warranties, or any of its covenants or agreements or (z) intentional or knowing misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) In the event that (i)(A) a Company Acquisition Proposal or the intention to make a Company Acquisition Proposal shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally or otherwise publicly announced by the Company or the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal, (B) such Company Acquisition Proposal or intention is not irrevocably and publicly withdrawn prior to the vote of the Company stockholders at the duly held Company Stockholders Meeting, and (C) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or Parent (1) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) due to the Company Stockholders Meeting not occurring as a result of such Company Acquisition Proposal or (2) Section 8.2(c), (ii) this Agreement is terminated by (A) Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b) or (B) the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or (iii) the Company terminates this Agreement, for any reason, other than pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3(b) hereof, then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than the earlier to occur of (x) sixty (60) days following the date of such termination; (y) the fifth (5^th) business day after the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated by a Company Superior Proposal; and (z) the date the transactions contemplated by a Company Superior Proposal are consummated, pay Parent a fee equal to $500,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent’s revenue (in accordance with GAAP) for the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2009 is less than $4,500,000, the Company Termination Fee shall be reduced to zero. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement, and accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth in this Section 8.5(b), the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(d) and the Company is not in breach of this Agreement, Parent shall pay to the Company an amount equal to all Transaction Expenses incurred by the Company prior to such termination promptly but in no event later than the fifth business day after receipt of an invoice from the Company for such Transaction Expenses, including detailed backup for such Transaction Expenses (collectively, the “Parent Termination Fee”). Parent

acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit which results in a judgment against Parent for the fee set forth in this Section 8.5(c), Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in breach of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to all Transaction Expenses incurred by Parent prior to such termination promptly but in no event later than the fifth business day after receipt of an invoice from Parent for such Transaction Expenses, including detailed backup for such Transaction Expenses (collectively, the “Parent Reimbursement Fee;” and, collectively with the Parent Termination Fee and the Company Termination Fee, each a “Termination Fee”). If the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5(d), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth in this Section 8.5(d), the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which a Party is entitled to receive a Termination Fee, the payment of such Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to such Party, except in the event of (x) a willful breach by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or (y) the intentional or knowing misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in which event the non-breaching Party shall have all rights, powers and remedies against the breaching Party which may be available at law or in equity. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any such right, power or remedy by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such Party.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), with Company, Parent has requested Stockholder, and Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Stockholder Agreement with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock now or hereafter beneficially owned by Stockholder of which Stockholder has the right to vote or direct the voting thereof (the “Shares”).

ARTICLE I

GRANT OF PROXY AND VOTING AGREEMENT

1.1 Voting Agreement. In the event that any stockholder action is to be taken at any time with respect to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all agreements related to the Merger and any actions related thereto or contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), whether by written consent, vote of the stockholders of the Company at a meeting or otherwise, Stockholder agrees to vote all of the Shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the Transaction Documents. Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the term of this Stockholder Agreement, Stockholder will not vote any Shares in favor of the approval of any (i) Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any other extraordinary transaction involving Company to which Parent has not otherwise approved or (iii) corporate action the consummation of which would frustrate the purposes of, or prevent or delay the consummation of, the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

1.2 Irrevocable Proxy. Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shares. By entering into this Stockholder Agreement, Stockholder hereby grants a proxy appointing Parent, and each duly elected officer thereof, as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to vote, express, consent or dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power as Parent or its proxy or substitute shall, in Parent’s sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Shares to effect any action described in Section 1.1 above (including, without limitation, the right to sign its name (as Stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to Company that the law of the State of Delaware permits or requires in furtherance of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Transaction Documents). Stockholder retains the right to vote or otherwise utilize its voting power for all purposes not inconsistent with this Section 1.2. The proxy granted by Stockholder

pursuant to this Article I is irrevocable for the term of this Stockholder Agreement and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into this Stockholder Agreement and the Merger Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses.
