iManage and Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.
1.2 Closing Date; Effective Time of the Merger. Unless this

cease and (iii) the Merger shall have all the effects provided by Delaware law,

its purposes, objects, rights, privileges, powers, immunities and franchises,
shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger.
1.4 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.
(a) The Articles of Incorporation of Sub in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the Articles of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation unless and until amended as provided

Effective Time of the Merger shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation

of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.
1.5 Directors and Officers. The sole director of the Surviving
Corporation shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and the officers of Sub immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation, in each case until their successors shall have been elected and
qualified or until otherwise provided by law.
1.6 Actions at the Closing. At the Closing, Sub, THOUGHTSTAR and
iManage shall take such reasonable actions and execute and deliver such
agreements and other instruments and documents as necessary or appropriate to

terms, including without limitation the following:

"EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS") and will execute and deliver a Consulting Agreement and
a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement in substantially the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit C (collectively, the "CONSULTING AGREEMENTS");
(the Merger Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Employment Agreements and
Consulting Agreements sometimes collectively referred to as the "ANCILLARY
AGREEMENTS").
1.7 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that
the Merger shall constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that this
Agreement shall constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of the
regulations thereunder.
2. Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time of the Merger, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of iManage, Sub,
THOUGHTSTAR or the holder of any shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock:
2.1 Capital Stock of Sub. All issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Sub shall continue to be issued and shall be converted into
1,000 shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock
certificate of Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to
evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
2.2 Cancellation of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock. All shares of
THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by THOUGHTSTAR
and any shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock that are owned by iManage, Sub or any
other Subsidiary of iManage shall be canceled, and no stock of iManage or other
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. In this Agreement, a
"SUBSIDIARY" of a corporation or other entity means a corporation or other
entity, the voting securities of which are sufficient to elect at least a
majority of the Board of Directors or other managers of such corporation or
other entity and which are owned or otherwise controlled directly or indirectly
by such parent corporation or other entity.

2.3 Conversion of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock. Each issued and
outstanding share of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock as of the Closing Date (other than
shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof) shall be converted,
without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive
the following (the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"):
(a) an amount of cash, without interest thereon; equal
to (the "PRO RATA CASH AMOUNT"):
(i) four million five hundred thousand dollars
($4,500,000) less (x) the amount of any Transaction Expenses (as defined in
Section 7.4) for which iManage has been provided with invoices that have been
approved for payment by Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as the representative of the THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholders prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, and (y) the amount
required for the repayment referred to in Section 8.2 (l), divided by
(ii) the aggregate of (x) the number of shares
of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger and (y) the number of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common
Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all THOUGHTSTAR Options (as
defined in Section 2.7(a) below), warrants and other securities exercisable for
or convertible into shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger in the case of both (x) and (y), after giving effect to the
actions contemplated by Sections 2.7(b) and 2.8(b) to the extent actually taken
(the "CASH CONSIDERATION"), and
(b) the right to receive a number shares of iManage
Common Stock (such number hereinafter referred to as the "EXCHANGE RATIO")
calculated as follows:
(i) the numerator shall equal fourteen million
dollars ($14,000,000) divided by the average closing price per share for shares
of iManage Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending two
(2) trading days prior to the Closing Date as reported by NASDAQ; provided,
however, that if such price is at or below thirteen dollars ($13.00) per share,
such price shall be deemed to be thirteen dollars ($13.00) per share and if such
price is at or above thirty-three dollars ($33.00) per share, such price shall
be deemed to be thirty-three dollars ($33.00) per share (the "AVERAGE PRICE PER
SHARE"), and
(ii) the denominator shall equal the aggregate
of (x) the number of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and (y) the number of
shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all
THOUGHTSTAR Options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible
into shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger in the case of both (x) and (y), after giving effect to the actions
contemplated by Sections 2.7(b) and 2.8(b) to the extent actually taken.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholder, other than Xxxxx Xxxxxx, shall have the right to elect (each person
making such an election being an "ELECTING SHAREHOLDER") to receive one dollar
($1.00) in cash in respect of each share of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock held by
such Electing Shareholder in lieu of the Pro Rata Cash Amount. In order to be an
Electing Shareholder, a person must deliver a written
4
10
notice to iManage that is received by iManage not later than three business days
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. In the event that an Electing
Shareholder makes such an election, in addition to one dollar ($1.00) per share
in cash, such Electing Shareholder shall receive, in respect of each share of
THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock held by such Electing Shareholder, a number of shares
of iManage Common Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of iManage Common
Stock that such Electing Shareholder would have received in respect of such
share of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock had it not made the election pursuant to this
Section 2.3(c), less (y) a number of shares of iManage Common Stock (or fraction
of a share) equal to the quotient of one dollar ($1.00) less the Pro Rata Cash
Amount divided by the Average Price Per Share.
(d) In the event one or more THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders
becomes an Electing Shareholder, the amount of Cash Consideration otherwise to
be received by Xxxxx Xxxxxx on the Merger shall be decreased by an amount equal
to the product of (x) one dollar ($1.00) less the Pro Rata Cash Amount and (y)
the aggregate number of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock owned by the
THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders collectively immediately prior to the Merger (the
"XXXXXX ADJUSTMENT"), and the number of shares of iManage Common Stock otherwise
to be received by him shall increase, by a number equal to the quotient of the
Xxxxxx Adjustment divided by the Average Price Per Share. Each THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholder other than Xxxxx Xxxxxx who is not an Electing Shareholder shall
receive the amount of Cash Consideration or number of shares of iManage Common
Stock that such THOUGHTSTAR Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to
Sections 2.3(a) and (b), respectively, regardless of the number of THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholders who become Electing Shareholders.
2.4 Adjustment of Exchange Ratio. If, between the date that is
two (2) trading days prior to the Closing Date and the Effective Time of the
Merger, the outstanding shares of iManage Common Stock or THOUGHTSTAR Common
Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different
class by reason of any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
split, reverse split, stock dividend, combination, exchange of shares or other
readjustment, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted.
2.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of iManage Common
Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of THOUGHTSTAR
Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of iManage
Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of iManage Common Stock to
be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from iManage an amount
of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such
fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Average Price Per Share.
2.6 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) THOUGHTSTAR Certificates Delivered at the Closing.
At the Closing, the THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders shall deliver the certificates
representing their shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock (or affidavits of lost
certificates) to be exchanged for the shares of iManage Common Stock in the
Merger. In the event that any THOUGHTSTAR Shareholder delivers an affidavit of
lost certificates of such Shareholder's THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock, such
Shareholder shall simultaneously deliver to iManage such security or
5
11
indemnity as may be required by iManage to save iManage harmless, in order to be
entitled to receive Merger Consideration in respect of the THOUGHTSTAR Common
Stock evidenced by the lost certificate.
(b) iManage to Provide Common Stock. Within ten (10)
days following the Closing, iManage shall deliver to the THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholders the certificates representing the shares of iManage Common Stock
issuable, and cash in an amount sufficient for payment in lieu of fractional
shares pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, and, on the later of (x) the Closing and
(y) two business days after the date on which Xxxxx Xxxxxx advises iManage that
iManage has been presented with all invoices for Transaction Expenses pursuant
to Section 2.3(a)(i), iManage shall deliver to the THOUGHTSTAR shareholders
checks (or wire transfers) representing cash payable in respect of shares of
THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement in exchange for the shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock surrendered
pursuant to Section 2.6(a).
(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No
dividends or other distribution on the iManage Common Stock shall be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered certificate until the holder of record of such
certificate shall surrender such certificate (or affidavit of lost certificate)
subject to the effect, if any, of applicable escheat and other laws. Following
surrender of any such certificate (or affidavit), there shall be delivered to
the person entitled thereto, without interest, the amount of dividends or other
distributions theretofore paid with respect to the iManage Common Stock so
withheld as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time of the Merger and prior
to such date of delivery.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in THOUGHTSTAR Common
Stock. All shares of iManage Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange
of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof
(including any cash paid in respect of fractional shares thereof) shall be
deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such
shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock. There shall be no further registration of
transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares
of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger,
certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they
shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.
2.7 THOUGHTSTAR Stock Plan.
(a) Schedule 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedules lists as of
the date of this Agreement, all holders of outstanding options to purchase
THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock (the "THOUGHTSTAR OPTIONS") issued and outstanding
under the THOUGHTSTAR, Inc. Amended 1998 Stock Option Plan, including the number
of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock subject to each such option, the exercise
or vesting schedule, the exercise price per share and the term of each such
option. On the Closing Date, THOUGHTSTAR shall deliver to iManage an updated
Schedule 2.7 hereto current as of the time immediately prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger.
6
12
(b) THOUGHTSTAR shall use its best efforts to insure
that (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger all THOUGHTSTAR
Options whether vested or unvested (except for options which would remain
unvested immediately after the consummation of the Merger that are held by
Continuing Key Employees (the "CONTINUING KEY EMPLOYEE OPTIONS")) shall be
exercised (with any unvested THOUGHTSTAR Options other than Continuing Key
Employee Options becoming immediately and fully vested) and (ii) at the
Effective Time of the Merger each share of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock issuable on
such exercise shall be converted, without any action on the part of the holders
thereof, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the Exchange
Ratio issuable for shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock by reason of the Merger.
(c) At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Continuing
Key Employee Options, shall be assumed by iManage in accordance with this
Section 2.7. Each Continuing Key Employee Option so assumed by iManage under
this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and
conditions as were applicable to such Continuing Key Employee Option and/or as
provided in the THOUGHTSTAR 1998 Amended Stock Option Plan (the "THOUGHTSTAR
STOCK OPTION PLAN") governing such Continuing Key Employee Option as in effect
on February 29, 2000, except that:
(i) such Continuing Key Employee Option will be
exercisable for that number of whole shares of iManage Common Stock equal to (x)
the product of the number of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock that were
issuable upon exercise of such Continuing Key Employee Option immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger and the Exchange Ratio, plus (y) a number of
shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the product of the
number of shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of
such Continuing Key Employee Options and the Cash Consideration by (2) the
Average Price Per Share and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares
of iManage Common Stock,
(ii) the per share exercise price for the shares
of iManage Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Continuing Key
Employee Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the
aggregate exercise price of the THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock for which such
Continuing Key Employee Option was exercisable immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger by the number of shares of iManage Common Stock
issuable on the exercise of such Option, rounded up to the nearest whole cent,
and
(iii) except as set forth in the Continuing
Employee Option Agreement, such Continuing Key Employee Option shall not be
vested at the Effective Time of the Merger, but rather shall vest as follows: on
the sixth-month anniversary of the Closing Date, twenty-five percent (25%) of
each holder's Continuing Key Employee Options will vest, provided the holder is
an employee of iManage or any of its affiliates, including Sub (iManage and such
affiliates being hereinafter the "IMANAGE OPTION GROUP"), on such date, and
thereafter one-eighteenth (1/18th) of each holder's remaining Continuing Key
Employee Options shall vest per month, beginning on the seventh-month
anniversary of the Closing Date, provided in each case that the holder has
provided continuous service to the iManage Option Group during such
7
13
period and is an employee of a member of the iManage Option Group on the
applicable vesting date.
(d) Each Continuing Key Employee shall have executed and
delivered to iManage an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D (an "CONTINUING KEY EMPLOYEE OPTION AGREEMENT") in which such
Continuing Key Employee agrees that on the Merger the terms of such employee's
THOUGHTSTAR Options shall be as described in this Section 2.7. As soon as
practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, iManage will issue to each
person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger was a holder
of one or more options that became a Continuing Key Employee Option, a written
document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such holder's Continuing Key
Employee Options by iManage. iManage shall file a Form S-8 Registration
Statement in accordance with Section 7.2 to register the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Continuing Key Employee Options.
2.8 THOUGHTSTAR Warrants.
(a) Schedule 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedules lists as of
the date of this Agreement, all holders of outstanding warrants to purchase
THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock ("THOUGHTSTAR WARRANTS"), including the number of
shares of THOUGHTSTAR Common Stock subject to each such warrant , the exercise
price per share and the term of each warrant. On the Closing Date, THOUGHTSTAR
shall deliver to iManage an updated Schedule 2.8 hereto current as of the time
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
(b) THOUGHTSTAR shall use its best efforts to insure
that (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger all outstanding
THOUGHTSTAR Warrants shall be exercised and (ii) at the Effective Time of the

THOUGHTSTAR evidence that THOUGHTSTAR's and each ERISA Affiliate's (as
applicable) 401(k) plan has been terminated pursuant to resolutions of each such
entity's Board of Directors (the form and substance of which resolutions shall
be subject to review and approval of iManage), effective as of the day

6. Covenants of iManage. During the Interim Period, iManage agrees
(except to the extent that THOUGHTSTAR shall otherwise consent in writing) that:
6.1 Breach of Representations and Warranties. iManage shall not
take any action that would breach or cause to be inaccurate any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4. Promptly after becoming
aware of the occurrence of or the pending or threatened occurrence of any event
that would cause or constitute such a breach or inaccuracy, iManage shall give
detailed notice thereof to THOUGHTSTAR and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent or promptly remedy such breach or inaccuracy.
6.2 Consents. After execution of this Agreement, iManage shall
promptly apply for or otherwise seek, and use its reasonable efforts to obtain,
all consents and approvals required or that THOUGHTSTAR may reasonably request
for the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event

to divest, any assets as a condition to obtaining any consent or approval
necessary to consummate the Merger.
6.3 Reasonable Efforts. iManage shall use its reasonable efforts
to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fulfill and cause to
be fulfilled the conditions to Closing under this Agreement.
6.4 Access to Information. iManage shall respond to questions
concerning information and financial statements contained in the SEC Documents
and senior management of iManage shall, upon request, make a presentation to
THOUGHTSTAR's Board of Directors and the THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders as to the
business, condition and financial prospects of iManage; provided that
information concerning iManage shall be limited to inquiry concerning
information that has otherwise been publicly disclosed. iManage shall furnish
all THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders with such information as is required to be
furnished under Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time or times
and in the manner required by Regulation D. No information or knowledge obtained
through such questions or presentations pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall
affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or
in the conditions to the obligations of THOUGHTSTAR to consummate the Merger.
6.5 Loan to THOUGHTSTAR. iManage shall loan up to four hundred
thousand dollars ($400,000) to THOUGHTSTAR (including the loan of one hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) loaned by iManage to THOUGHTSTAR on March 23,
2000), as needed from time to time for working capital of THOUGHTSTAR (the
"LOAN"); provided that on and after the date of this Agreement such amounts may
only be expended with the prior approval of iManage, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No amounts shall be advanced on the Loan on and after the
date, if any, that this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 9.1 or after
any breach of or default under this Agreement by THOUGHTSTAR. Any monies so
loaned by iManage shall be due and payable, together with accrued but unpaid
interest, on the earlier of (x) day that is sixty (60) days following the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to
31
37
Section 9.1, and (y) the date, if any, on which THOUGHTSTAR commits a breach of
or default under this Agreement. Interest shall accrue on such Loan at the rate
of Prime and one-quarter percent (0.25%) per annum, based on a 360 day year.
("PRIME" shall mean the variable rate of interest, per annum, most recently
announced by Silicon Valley Bank as its "prime rate," whether or not such
announced rate is the lowest rate available from such Bank.) The principal of,
and accrued interest on the Loan is the "LOAN INDEBTEDNESS." The Loan shall be
evidenced by a promissory note in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto. At the
Effective Time of the Merger, the Loan Indebtedness shall be cancelled and all
amounts due and owing the Loan shall be forgiven.
In the event that the Closing has not occurred by May 5, 2000 for
reasons related to iManage's failure to satisfy the conditions to the
obligations of THOUGHTSTAR to effect the Merger or for reasons related to
THOUGHTSTAR's failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of iManage to
effect the Merger (other than failures by THOUGHTSTAR to satisfy the conditions
set forth in Sections 5.7 and 8.2(a), (b) (to the extent within the control of
THOUGHTSTAR), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) (to the extent within the control of
THOUGHTSTAR), (h), (k), (n) (except for the exercise of the Utah Technology
Finance Corporation warrant) or (o)) and 8.5(g), and THOUGHTSTAR has
insufficient funds to conduct its operations in the manner described in Article
5, then iManage shall make such additional loans to THOUGHTSTAR as iManage and
THOUGHTSTAR reasonably mutually agree are required to enable THOUGHTSTAR to so
conduct its operations. Any such additional loan shall be evidence by a
promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.5 and in the
form of promissory note attached as Exhibit E hereto with respect to the Loan.
6.6 Registration Rights Agreement. During the Interim Period
iManage will use its reasonable efforts to seek the consent of existing holders
of rights for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
shares of Common Stock of iManage held by them to an amendment and restatement
of the existing registration rights agreement between iManage and such existing
holders in the form of an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
attached as Exhibit F. In the event such consent cannot be obtained, iManage
shall seek the consent of such existing holders to an amendment and restatement
of such agreement that would contain the provisions contained in section 1.5 of
the form of agreement attached as Exhibit F, except that such section would not
include the provisions of section 1.5 (c)(iv) and would not permit other holders
of iManage securities to have their securities registered pursuant to Section
1.5. Such an amendment and restatement being referred to herein as the
"REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT".
7. Additional Agreements. In addition to the foregoing, iManage and
THOUGHTSTAR each agree to take the following actions after the execution of this
Agreement:

take all reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal
requirements that may be imposed on such parties with respect to the Merger and
will promptly cooperate with and furnish information to such other parties in
connection with any such requirements imposed upon such other parties in
connection with the Merger. Each of the parties shall take all reasonable
actions to obtain (and to cooperate with such other parties in obtaining) any
consent, authorization, order
32

party, required to be obtained or made by the parties in connection with the
Merger or the taking of any action contemplated thereby or by this Agreement or
the Merger Agreement.
7.2 Employee Stock Options. iManage will file a Form S-8
Registration Statement covering the shares of iManage Common Stock issuable upon

Closing Date and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such shares to be
registered under the Securities Act and to maintain such registration in effect
until the exercise or termination of all of the Continuing Key Employee Options.
7.3 THOUGHTSTAR Employee Benefits. iManage shall take such
actions as it deems appropriate to make available as promptly as is reasonably
practicable to THOUGHTSTAR employees and contractors such benefits (including
vacation, medical, dental, life and disability insurance, and participation in
other company-wide plans) as are generally made available to employees of
iManage, or benefits that taken as a whole are reasonably equivalent thereto,
provided that this Section 7.3 shall not obligate iManage to maintain or
continue any specific benefits in effect for any period of time, it being the
intent of the parties solely to provide that the benefits to employees and
contractors of THOUGHTSTAR be reasonably equivalent to the benefits to iManage
employees and contractors as in effect from time to time. For purposes of
determining the benefits to which THOUGHTSTAR employees and contractors are
entitled to receive pursuant to the preceding sentence, THOUGHTSTAR employees
and contractors shall be deemed to have worked for iManage for the same period
as they have been employed by, or have been providing independent contractor
services to, THOUGHTSTAR.
7.4 Expenses.
(a) iManage shall pay its own costs, fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the Merger, including all actions taken in
connection therewith, including all legal and accounting costs, fees and
expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

or any actions taken in connection therewith, and all such costs, fees and
expenses being "TRANSACTION EXPENSES". The Transaction Expenses shall be the
responsibility of the shareholders of THOUGHTSTAR (without limitation and
regardless of any provision of Article 10).

its shareholders shall pay all of their own costs, fees and expenses incurred in

Effective Time of the Merger any further action is reasonable and necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving

immunities and franchises of either iManage or THOUGHTSTAR, the proper officers
and directors of each corporation which is a party to this Agreement shall take
all such reasonable and necessary action.
7.6 Public Announcements. iManage and THOUGHTSTAR shall
cooperate with each other in releasing information concerning this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated herein. Where practicable each of the parties

information to any governmental agency or prevent iManage from issuing any
release when it believes it is legally required to do so.

cause its accountants, counsel and other representatives to treat, as
confidential all confidential documents and information concerning the other
party and its Subsidiaries furnished by the other party to such party in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the
extent that such information or documents (i) at the time of its disclosure to
the receiving party by or on behalf of the disclosing party is already known or
available to the receiving party or its Subsidiaries, provided that the
receiving party or its Subsidiaries are not subject to similar restrictions of
confidentiality as set forth herein with a third party with respect to such
information; (ii) is or becomes known or available to the public other than as a
result of an unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party or its directors,
officers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives or advisors; (iii)
becomes known or available to the receiving party or its Subsidiaries without
similar restrictions of confidentiality as set forth herein from a source other

agreement with, or without obligation of secrecy to, the disclosing party which
would prohibit such disclosures to the receiving party by such other party; (iv)
is independently generated by the receiving party or its Subsidiaries and not
derived from confidential information; or (v) is required to be disclosed by the
receiving party or its Subsidiaries by law, regulation, court order or other
legal process, using the same standard of care to protect such confidential
documents or information as is used by the receiving party to protect its own
confidential data or information. Subject to the foregoing, each party hereto
will not release or disclose such information or documents to any person other
than its representatives in connection with this Agreement. In the event that
any party or any of its representatives is requested or required to disclose any
of the confidential information referred to above, such party will provide the
other party with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the
other party may seek a protective order or waive such party's compliance with
this Section 7.7. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of
a waiver hereunder, such party is, in the opinion of its counsel (which may be
internal counsel), compelled to disclose such confidential documents or
information, such party may, subject to prior notification thereof, disclose
that portion of such confidential documents or information which its counsel
advises that such party is compelled to disclose. In any event, any party hereto
will not oppose action by, and such party will cooperate with, the other party
to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded such confidential information. In the
event of the termination of this Agreement, each party, and shall
34
40

documents obtained by such party or on behalf of such party from the other party
in connection with this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the
execution hereof, and such party shall, and shall cause its representatives to,
destroy all copies thereof; provided, that counsel to each party shall be
entitled to keep one copy of each such document for use in the event of
litigation or arbitration. The obligations contained in this Section 7.7 shall
terminate four years after the date hereof.
7.8 NASD and SEC Filings. iManage shall use reasonable efforts
to remain in compliance with the reporting obligations of all applicable
governmental acts, rules and regulations of any Governmental Entity, including
without limitation the Exchange Act and to remain listed on The Nasdaq National
Market or other comparable exchange, to the extent necessary to permit iManage
Common Stock to be traded under Rule 144. In addition, iManage shall file all
appropriate documents and otherwise shall use reasonable efforts to cause the
shares of iManage Common Stock issuable on the Merger to be listed on the Nasdaq
National Market.
7.9 Tax-Free Reorganization. iManage shall treat the Merger as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and shall
comply with all reporting requirements related thereto. iManage and THOUGHTSTAR
shall not take any action not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and the
exhibits hereto that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to
qualify as a reorganization.
7.10 Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Effective Time of the Merger,
iManage shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former
officers, directors and employees of THOUGHTSTAR (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED

or amounts that are paid in settlement of, with the approval of iManage (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), or otherwise in connection with,
any claim, action, suit, judgment, proceeding or investigation (a "CLAIM"),
based in whole or in part on the fact that such person is or was such a
director, officer or employee and arising out of actions or omissions occurring
at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement), in each case to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware Law (and shall pay expenses in advance of the final
disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the
fullest extent permitted under Delaware Law).

Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after

retain their regularly engaged independent legal counsel as of the date of this
Agreement, or other independent legal counsel satisfactory to them provided that
such other counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to iManage, (ii) iManage shall
pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties
promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) iManage will use its
reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter,
provided that iManage shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this
Section 7.10, promptly upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify iManage
(although the failure so to notify
35
41
iManage shall not relieve iManage from any liability which iManage may have
under this Section 7.10, except to the extent such failure prejudices iManage).
The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain one law firm (in addition to local
counsel) to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is,
under applicable standards of professional conduct (as reasonably determined by
counsel to such Indemnified Parties) a conflict on any significant issue between
the position of any two or more of such Indemnified Parties, in which event, an
additional counsel may be retained by such Indemnified Parties.
This Section 7.10 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be
enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties referred to herein, their heirs and
personal representatives and shall be binding on iManage, iManage's obligations

complied with or satisfied by it hereunder.

cause Xxxxx Xxxxxx to be released from any and all obligations pursuant to the
Xxxxx Lease, including without limitation, by providing the landlord pursuant to
such lease with an unconditional guaranty from iManage on commercially
reasonable terms; provided that nothing in this clause 7.12 (i) shall relieve
Xxxxx Xxxxxx or THOUGHTSTAR from their obligations to cause the Xxxxx Lease to
be assigned to Sub at the Effective Time, (ii) indemnify and hold Xxxxx Xxxxxx
harmless from any liability pursuant to or in connection with the Xxxxx Lease
and (iii) reimburse Xxxxxx for any expenditures by or on behalf of THOUGHTSTAR

expenditures during such 90 day period in an amount of up to $10,000; provided
that prior to the Closing Date Xxxxx Xxxxxx had not been reimbursed therefor by
or on behalf of THOUGHTSTAR. This Section 7.12 is intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, his heirs and personal
representatives, and shall be binding on iManage and its successors and
permitted assigns.

prompt written notice to iManage and Sub, and iManage and Sub shall give prompt
written notice to THOUGHTSTAR, of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any

or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate and (ii) any
failure by THOUGHTSTAR, iManage or Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or
satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by
it hereunder. No such disclosure shall be taken into account in determining
whether the conditions to any parties' obligations to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been satisfied, but such
disclosure shall be deemed to supplement, modify and/or amend the Disclosure
Schedules to this Agreement prior to the Effective Time of the Merger as of the

shall not have been consummated before July 15, 2000 (provided that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to any
party whose willful failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been the
cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time of the Merger to
occur on or before such date); (ii) there shall be a final nonappealable order
of a Federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in effect preventing or
prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; or (iii) there shall be any statute,
rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued applicable to the

illegal.

shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the Board of Directors
of the party taking such action.

Agreement by either THOUGHTSTAR or iManage as provided in Section 9.1, this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall

their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors,
agents or other representatives, except as set forth in Sections 6.5, 7.4, 7.7,
9 and 12 of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect and

termination results from the willful breach by a party hereto of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this
Agreement.
9.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by iManage, Sub and
THOUGHTSTAR or their respective successors or assigns, by action taken by their

successors or assigns.

inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained
herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance

hereto by THOUGHTSTAR or any failure by THOUGHTSTAR to perform or comply with
any covenant contained herein or in any schedules, exhibits or other documents

subject to Section 10.5.
(a) there shall be no liability for indemnification for

to be indemnified up to the total of all Losses, including the initial $50,000),
(b) there shall be no liability for indemnification
under this Section 10 for any Losses or Escrow Transaction Expenses which, in

10.3(c) below,
(c) an amount equal to the Escrow Amount shall be
withheld from the Merger Consideration paid by iManage to the THOUGHTSTAR

Effective Time of the Merger) and shall be held in escrow to the
42
48
Expiration Date in a fund to be established and managed pursuant to an Escrow

Shareholder Representative (the "ESCROW FUND"), and the Escrow Fund shall be
iManage's sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses,
(d) all claims for Losses paid to the Indemnified
Parties shall be paid only from the Escrow Fund and any moneys remaining in the
Escrow Fund at the Expiration Date shall be transferred to the THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholders in proportion to their interests therein,

(whether by time, amount, procedure or otherwise), any remedy at law or in
equity to which iManage may be entitled as a result of actual fraud by any
THOUGHTSTAR Shareholder, and
(f) the indemnification obligations under this Section
10 shall terminate on the later of (i) the Expiration Date, and (ii) the final
resolution of any and all claims under this Agreement pending as of the
Expiration Date.
10.4 Indemnification Procedures. Upon obtaining knowledge of the
institution of any action, proceeding, or other event which could give rise to a
claim of indemnity pursuant to this Section 10, iManage shall promptly give
written notice to the Shareholder Representative appointed pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement. The notice shall describe the facts or alleged facts and the
potential Loss or range of Loss if the Loss can be estimated. Except to the
extent set forth below in this Section 10.4, if such claim or demand relates to
a claim or demand asserted by a third party, iManage shall have the right, at
the expense of the THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders, to employ counsel to defend such
claim or demand and the THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders shall have the obligation to
assist in the defense of any such claim or demand; provided that the THOUGHTSTAR
Shareholders shall have no obligation to incur any expense in connection with
such assistance, but any expense borne by iManage in obtaining such assistance
shall be a Loss under this Article 10; provided further that any such settlement
shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholder Representative, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
iManage will keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably
informed as to the status of any claim or demand asserted by a third party and
shall allow the Shareholder Representative to participate in any proceeding with
respect to such a claim, but at the expense of the Shareholder Representative or
the THOUGHTSTAR Shareholders; provided that iManage shall remain in control in
any such proceeding.
10.5 Expenses. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of
Section 10.3 above, any and all costs, fees and expenses to be borne by the
shareholders of THOUGHTSTAR pursuant to Section 7.4 above, shall be paid by such
shareholders without regard to the provisions of Section 10.3 above; none of the
limitations of such Section 10.3 shall apply with respect to such costs, fees or
expenses; and the payment of such costs, fees and expenses shall not reduce the
Escrow Amount. iManage may, at its election, apply monies in the Escrow Fund to
all or any portion of any Loss suffered by it by reason of a breach of or
default under Section 7.4, but iManage shall not be required to do so and may
seek recovery for any such Loss
43
49
from any other source, including any asset of any THOUGHTSTAR Shareholder
outside of the Escrow Fund.

hereby, constitute the final written expression of the agreement among the
parties, and is a complete and exclusive statement of those terms, subject to
any amendments prepared and executed in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof. It
