PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights key aspects of the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our common stock discussed under Risk Factors.
References to we, us, our and our company refer to Bentley Systems, Incorporated together with its subsidiaries.
Bentley Systems, Incorporated
We are a global provider of collaborative software solutions that enable our users to create, manage and publish architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) content. Our software solutions are used to design, engineer, build and operate large constructed assets such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. We focus on five vertical industries that deploy such assets: transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. In addition, we provide professional services for our software solutions, including implementation, integration, customization and training.
We generate revenues through a renewable subscription program, known as Bentley SELECT, as well as through perpetual licenses and services. We actively market the benefits of Bentley SELECT and expect to continue growing our subscriptions revenues in future periods. In 2001, more than 60% of our revenues were derived from our subscriptions.
Organizations engaged in the design, construction and operation of large constructed assets require a software solution that facilitates efficient design, while also allowing all project participants to communicate, collaborate and share information throughout an assets lifecycle. These organizations also require solutions that are specifically tailored to meet their unique industry requirements and business processes.
Our collaborative software solutions allow project participants to communicate, collaborate and share AEC content. This collaboration enables our users to maximize the value of AEC content by providing an integrated approach to managing the lifecycle of large constructed assets. Our solutions are used to:
| Create. Generate architectural and engineering designs and associate them with intelligent content such as descriptive and other relevant information. | |
| Manage. Store, organize and index content, provide and control access and track and record changes. | |
| Publish. Share and distribute content through multiple methods to project participants from disparate organizations and communicate relevant content to other enterprise applications. |
For example, using our solutions, a pump is created as an intelligent, three-dimensional graphic component and associated with descriptive attributes such as capacity and price. Through our collaboration servers, the pump can be accessed by project participants and incorporated into other designs, printed on paper or viewed over the Internet. Our collaboration servers can also send descriptive information about the pump to procurement or other enterprise systems. We believe that our collaborative approach facilitates the design and construction process, shortens project schedules, reduces overall project costs and facilitates the operation and management of the constructed asset.
The foundation of our software solutions is our design platform, MicroStation. MicroStation was originally developed in the mid-1980s by a team of developers led by Keith and Barry Bentley. We also offer discipline-specific applications tailored to the specific needs of users in our targeted vertical industries. Our collaboration servers manage and publish content created by MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications, as well as content created by other design and enterprise applications.
- 1 -
Our solutions are used by major architectural, engineering and construction firms, including Bechtel Corporation, as well as by owner/ operators of large constructed assets, including 46 U.S. state departments of transportation, Fincantieri Cantieri Nivali Italiani SpA, Union Bank of Switzerland, San Antonio City Public Service Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We believe that owner/ operators will drive the use of collaborative AEC content applications. And today, approximately two-thirds of our MicroStation registered licenses are registered by owner/ operators. We generated total revenues of $202.6 million and net income of $4.1 million in 2001. Sales outside North America constituted 48% of total revenues, and no single customer accounted for over 1% of total revenues, in 2001.
Our objective is to be a leading provider of collaborative software solutions to the industries we have targeted. To achieve this objective we intend to pursue the following strategies:
| Focus on the vertical industries we serve; | |
| Enhance and extend our collaborative software solutions; | |
| Grow our subscriptions revenues; | |
| Increase our direct sales and support capabilities; | |
| Expand our professional services; and | |
| Grow through strategic acquisitions. |
We were originally incorporated in California in 1984 and reincorporated in Delaware in March 1987. Our principal executive office is located at 685 Stockton Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania 19341. Our telephone number at that address is 610-458-5000. We maintain our primary website at www.bentley.com and a number of special purpose websites in the United States and other countries in which we do business. Our websites, and the information contained therein, are not part of this prospectus.
Pending Acquisition
On January 25, 2002, we purchased a 12.5% interest in, and an option to acquire the remainder of, Rebis, a leading developer of discipline-specific applications for the manufacturing plants industry. We expect to exercise our option to acquire the remainder of Rebis and complete this acquisition simultaneously with or soon after the closing of this offering. We intend to use approximately $ million of the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of this acquisition. The completion of the acquisition of Rebis is not a condition to the closing of this offering. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, Rebis had total revenues of $15.9 million and net income of $1.3 million.

RISK FACTORS
Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our quarterly revenues fluctuate in ways that could adversely impact our operating results and
Our revenues are difficult to predict and fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. Our actual revenues in a quarter could fall below expectations, which could lead to a decline in our stock price. Our quarterly revenues may fluctuate and may be difficult to forecast for a variety of reasons, including the following:
| a higher concentration of sales in the fourth quarter as a result of information technology spending patterns; | |
| postponement or cancellation of orders for new perpetual licenses or subscriptions due to changes in general economic conditions or in strategic priorities, project objectives, budget or personnel of our users; | |
| variability in user evaluations and the duration of internal approval and expenditure authorizations; | |
| changes in the pricing of our products and services or those of our competitors; | |
| variability in the mix of our revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses and services; and | |
| unpredictability in users purchasing decisions due to the number, timing and significance of software product enhancements and new software product announcements by us and our competitors. |
We cannot ensure that our revenues will grow or that we will maintain profitability.
We suffered net losses in 2000 and 1998. Growth in our revenues is dependent upon increased levels of spending on information technology by our existing and new users, especially on our discipline-specific applications and collaboration servers, and on overall economic growth. Competition in the marketplace may require us to increase our operating expenses in the future in order to:
| develop our direct sales force and increase our sales and marketing efforts; | |
| broaden our user support and other services offerings; and | |
| expand our administrative resources. |
We have also experienced fluctuation in operating results in interim periods in certain geographic regions due to seasonality or regional economic conditions. To the extent that increases in our expenses precede or are not followed by increased revenues, our profitability will suffer. Our revenues must continue to grow and we must manage our expenses appropriately in order for us to maintain our profitability on a quarterly and annual basis.
Our operating expenses are based in part on our expectations for future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short term. Accordingly, any shortfall in our revenues could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on our operating results and stock price. You should not rely on our past results to predict our future performance.
- 6 -
An erosion of MicroStations market acceptance would have an adverse impact on our operating results because our MicroStation platform provides the foundation for the majority of our revenues.
We derive revenues from our MicroStation platform, discipline-specific applications that run on MicroStation and collaboration servers that are interoperable with our MicroStation platform. In 2001, we derived over half of our revenues from MicroStation perpetual licenses and the Bentley SELECT subscriptions covering MicroStation. We expect that current and future versions of MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications will continue to account for a large portion of our revenues in the foreseeable future. Our future financial performance will depend on the development and future commercial acceptance of our products and on the successful development, introduction and commercial acceptance of future products and upgrades. If our products or any future upgrades do not gain commercial acceptance, or if significant defects are found, demand for our products will decline, resulting in a significant reduction in our revenues.
MicroStation V8 reads and writes files in its own DGN format, as well as files in the DWG format developed by one of our competitors and which is used by programs and applications written by several of our competitors. Should the DWG file format be revised in such a way that MicroStation is unable to read and write to such files, demand for MicroStation may erode.
Our growth depends on our ability to develop or acquire discipline-specific applications and
The market for our MicroStation platform is mature. We cannot assure you that MicroStation will achieve greater penetration in our target industries. As a result, our growth will depend on our ability to develop or acquire discipline-specific applications and collaboration servers and successfully market these additional products in our targeted industries.
We recently changed our distribution model, and we are unsure whether our new model will succeed.
In 2001, we initiated a strategy to change our distribution model for perpetual licenses from a predominantly resale model to one that emphasizes direct sales. Formerly, we sold perpetual licenses to our channel partners for resale to end users, with the channel partners retaining the difference between the prices they paid to us and the prices they charged to end users. Under our new model, we continue to rely on many of the same channel partners to help us identify and consummate sales to end users and pay a commission on perpetual licenses to these channel partners. Because we have only recently introduced this new distribution model in North America and have not yet implemented it globally, we are unsure whether or to what extent it will succeed. In addition, we have incurred and will continue to incur costs associated with our shift to this new distribution model. If our new distribution model is unsuccessful, we may lose channel partners, users and, consequently, sales and subscriptions.
We have recently announced another change to our distribution strategy, to take effect beginning in 2003, whereby certain users will be defined as corporate accounts and will be serviced solely by our direct sales force.
If our channel partners do not agree with any of the changes described above and decide to reduce or eliminate sales of our products or if we fail to identify, hire and retain effective members of our direct sales force, our operating results may be adversely impacted.
We may not be able to complete the acquisition of the remainder of Rebis.
We expect that the acquisition of the remainder of Rebis will occur simultaneously with or soon after the closing of this offering. The acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including that our company shall not have suffered a material adverse effect. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that this pending acquisition will occur. We estimate the total remaining consideration to be $ million, of which 70% will be paid in cash and the remaining 30% will be paid in shares of our common stock, valued at the initial public offering price. If we are unable to close this acquisition, the net proceeds from this
- 7 -
We may be unable to identify or complete suitable acquisitions and any acquisitions we do complete may disrupt our business operations, result in future impairment charges or be dilutive to our stockholders.
As part of our business strategy, we intend to pursue strategic acquisitions. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisitions. If we identify suitable candidates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to finance those acquisitions on commercially acceptable terms. If we acquire a company, we may have difficulty integrating its products, services, technologies or personnel into our operations or its key personnel may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and workforce, increase our expenses and adversely affect our operating results. We may incur significant debt or issue equity securities to pay for future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities may be dilutive to our stockholders.
Our business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets which affects the amount of future period amortization expense. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. The value of intangible assets may be impaired in the future, resulting in changes to our operating results that could be material.
Because our users are concentrated in five vertical industries, our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in one or more of these industries.
As a result of our focus on the transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government sectors, our financial results depend, in significant part, upon economic conditions in these sectors. Demand for our solutions may be reduced by a decline in overall demand for computer software and services or in demand for computer software and services in the vertical industries that we serve. An economic downturn or adverse change in the regulatory environment or business prospects for one or more of the industries we serve, or a change in the levels of government spending, may cause our users to reduce information technology spending. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to increase or maintain our revenues from users in the vertical industries on which we currently focus our resources.
Because the majority of our revenues is derived from providing Bentley SELECT to subscribers for a subscription fee, the cancellation of these subscriptions would adversely impact our business.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, we generated more than 60% of our total revenues through our subscriptions. We have expended significant financial and personnel resources on the assumption that our subscribers will not terminate these subscriptions. However, if users terminate their subscriptions due to market conditions, changing perceptions of the quality of our products or services or other factors, our revenues will significantly decrease and our business will suffer.
We may be unable to retain or attract users if we do not develop new products or enhance our current products in response to technological changes and market demand.
Rapid technological change as well as changes in user requirements are characteristic of the software industry. New platforms and technologies are expected to be developed in the industries we serve. We are devoting significant resources to the development of new technologies, requiring a considerable investment of technical and financial resources. These investments may not generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs or generate expected returns. We will not compete effectively if we fail to:
| maintain and enhance our technological capabilities to correspond to emerging environments and standards; | |
| develop and market products and services that meet changing user needs; or | |
| anticipate or respond to technological changes on a cost-effective and timely basis. |
- 8 -
In addition, a decline in the demand for information technology among our current and prospective users will result in decreased revenues or slower growth because our sales depend, in part, on our users demand for new or additional information technology systems and services. We must develop additional discipline-specific applications that satisfy the changing, specialized requirements of current and prospective users in our target industries. To the extent we determine that new technologies are required to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of such technologies may require us to make significant investments. We may not be able to fund these investments and these investments in new technologies may not result in commercially viable products, which would result in a loss of revenues and adversely affect our business and our operating results.
Our international operations expose us to risks related to government regulation, intellectual property rights, collectibility of payments, exchange rate fluctuations and other risks, any of which could adversely impact our operating results.
We anticipate that international operations will continue to account for the same or an increasing portion of our revenues. Our revenues from sales outside North America constituted approximately 47% and 48% of our total revenues in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Risks inherent in our international operations include the following:
| unexpected changes in or differing regulatory practices and tariffs and trade barriers; | |
| difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; | |
| longer collection cycles for accounts receivable; | |
| increased cost and development time required to modify and translate our products for local markets; | |
| failure to identify suitable channel partners, systems integrators or other third-party vendors; | |
| differing foreign technical standards; | |
| regulatory, social, political, labor or economic conditions in a specific country or region; | |
| operating costs in many countries that are higher than in the United States; | |
| laws, policies and other regulatory requirements affecting trade and investment including loss or modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs and import and export license requirements; | |
| exposure to different legal standards or risks; | |
| greater difficulty in protecting our intellectual property rights; and | |
| the impact of fluctuating exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies in markets where we do business. |
We face competition from a number of software companies that have advantages due to their larger user base, greater name recognition, long operating and product development histories, greater international presence and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources.
The market for our software solutions has been and continues to be intensely competitive. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope of the products and services they offer. They include well established companies that have larger installed user bases. We encounter competition from a number of sources, including:
| technology companies providing content creation, management and publishing in transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government; | |
| vendors of factory planning solutions, including mechanical computer aided design; | |
| vendors of product lifecycle management solutions; |
- 9 -
| generalized content management, document management and publishing vendors; | |
| horizontal, collaborative enterprise software vendors; | |
| systems integrators, who may advocate for alternative approaches or competitive solutions; and | |
| in house information technology departments or local technology providers that may develop technology that provides some or all of the functionality of our products and services. |
We expect to experience additional competition from companies that may consolidate complementary products and technologies or existing vendors who may enter any of the vertical industries we serve. Some competitors have become more aggressive with their pricing, payment terms or issuance of contractual implementation terms or guarantees. We may be unable to continue to compete successfully with new and existing competitors without lowering prices or offering other favorable terms. We expect the competitive environment to persist and intensify, which could negatively impact our operating results and market share.
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, if we are subject to intellectual property infringement claims of third parties or if we are unable to continue to license important third-party software, our business will be harmed.
We rely on a combination of contract, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights. The protective measures we have taken may not deter misappropriation of our intellectual property and proprietary information. A third party could obtain our proprietary information or may independently develop technologies that are less expensive or more effective than our technology. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. In addition, the laws of some countries in which our software products are, or may be, licensed do not protect our software products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Enforcing our rights could be costly.
We may be subject to adverse claims or litigation alleging infringement by us of the intellectual property rights of others. As the number and functionality of our products increases, we become increasingly subject to the risk of infringement claims. If infringement claims are brought against us, our defense against these claims could distract management and we may have to expend significant funds and resources to defend or settle such claims. If we are found to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could be forced to pay significant license fees, royalties or damages for infringement.
As part of our standard license agreements, we agree to indemnify our users for some types of infringement claims under the laws of the United States and some foreign jurisdictions. If a claim against us were successful, we may be required to incur significant expense and pay substantial damages as we are unable to insure against this risk. Even if we were to prevail, the accompanying publicity could adversely impact the demand for our software. Provisions attempting to limit our liability in our standard agreements may be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances.
We integrate third-party software into certain of our products, including MicroStation. We may not be able to renew our third-party licenses or develop or purchase alternative technology. Even if licenses for third-party software are available to us, they may not be available on commercially viable terms. If we cannot maintain licenses for important third-party software or develop or license similar technology on a timely or commercially viable basis, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.
If we are unable to retain Greg Bentley, Keith Bentley, Barry Bentley and other key personnel, our business will be adversely affected.
We are highly dependent on certain members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Greg Bentley, and our Co-Chief Technology Officers, Keith Bentley and Barry Bentley. Greg,

If we are unable to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, specifically software engineers, sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel and managerial personnel, we will be unable to develop, sell and service new products and increase our revenues.
If we are unable to attract, train and retain highly-skilled technical, sales and marketing, professional services and managerial personnel, we may be unable to compete effectively. Competition for personnel in the software industry is intense and, at times, we have had difficulty hiring qualified candidates within desired geographic locations, including near our headquarters in Exton, Pennsylvania, or with certain industry-specific expertise. Uncertainty created by turnover of key employees or the inability to attract, train or retain enough qualified personnel to support our growth could adversely affect our business and operating results.
The New York Stock Exchange could delist us if we are unable to appoint one additional director who meets the NYSEs independence requirements within 12 months following this offering.
The rules of the New York Stock Exchange require that we have an audit committee composed of three independent directors. A director is considered independent under these rules if, among other things, he or she is not one of our employees and has no other relationship that may interfere with the exercise of the directors independence from management and our company. Two of our directors currently meet these requirements. If we are unable to appoint a third director within 12 months following this offering, our listing on the New York Stock Exchange could be jeopardized. Delisting could affect your ability to sell your shares and cause a decline in the market price of your shares.
Terrorist attacks or threats or acts of war may negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions and fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, as well as government and industry spending, which can decline as a result of numerous factors outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of war. Recent terrorist attacks in the United States, as well as events occurring in response to or in connection with them, including future terrorist attacks against United States targets and targets in other countries in which we do business, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States, its allies or other countries in which we do business, or military or trade disruptions impacting our users, may adversely impact our operations. As a result, there could be decreased sales of our products and services, increased costs from added security measures and extensions of time for payment of accounts receivable from our users. Any or a combination of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Risks Related to This Offering
We have allocated approximately % of the net proceeds of this offering to fund a portion of the Rebis acquisition and repay certain indebtedness and management may spend or invest the remaining net proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to fund a portion of our acquisition of Rebis, repay certain indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and possible acquisitions and investments. We have broad discretion to determine the allocation of our net proceeds from this offering that will be used for general corporate purposes. You will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use these net proceeds. Our managements failure to use these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.

Our use of Arthur Andersen as our independent auditors may adversely affect this offering and our business.
On March 14, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the governments investigation of Enron Corporation. Andersen has publicly stated that it intends to contest vigorously the indictment. This prospectus includes our consolidated financial statements, financial statements of Geopak Corporation and consolidated financial statements of Rebis, each audited by Andersen. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited by Andersen and interim financial statements reviewed by it, so long as Andersen is able to make certain representations to its clients. Our access to the capital markets and our ability to make timely SEC filings could be impaired if the SEC ceases accepting financial statements audited by Andersen, if Andersen becomes unable to make necessary representations to us or if for any reason, including the loss of key members of our audit team from Andersen, Andersen is unable to perform required audit services for us in a timely manner. In such a case, we would promptly seek to engage new independent auditors, but such actions could disrupt our operations and affect the price and liquidity of our common stock.
A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may cause our common stock price to significantly decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by our stockholders after this offering, or the perception that these sales are likely to occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Based on shares outstanding as of March 31, 2002, upon completion of this offering we will have outstanding million shares of common stock, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. Of these million shares, million including the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market immediately after the offering is completed. After the lockup agreements pertaining to this offering expire 180 days from the date of this prospectus, an additional million shares will be eligible for sale in the public market. In addition, if all outstanding and vested options and warrants were fully exercised, shares would be available for sale 90 days from the date of this prospectus and an additional shares would be available 180 days from the date of this prospectus.
An active public market for our common stock may not develop, which would impede your ability to sell your shares and could cause our common stock price to decline.
Before this offering, no public market existed for our common stock. If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will pay a per share price that was not established in a public trading market. Rather, you will pay the per share price that we negotiated with the representatives of the underwriters. An active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering, which would affect your ability to sell your shares and would cause a decline in the market price of your shares. The market price of your shares may fall below the initial public offering price.
Our executive officers and directors and their affiliates will own % of our outstanding common stock after this offering which may significantly lessen the impact of your voting rights.
We anticipate that our executive officers and directors, together with their affiliates, will beneficially own an aggregate of approximately % of our outstanding common stock following the completion of this offering. These stockholders may be able to exercise substantial influence over our actions that require stockholder approval, including electing directors and approving significant corporate transactions. In addition, three of the Bentley brothers, Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley, currently represent a majority of the board of directors and will continue to represent a majority immediately following this offering. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company, which could cause our stock price to decline. We cannot assure you that these stockholders will vote their shares in a manner that is consistent with your preferences.
- 12 -
Anti-takeover provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could discourage or prevent an acquisition of our company and could affect the price of our common stock.
Provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws that we intend to adopt before the closing of this offering may inhibit changes of control that are not approved by our board of directors. These include a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms, board ability to designate and issue our authorized but undesignated preferred stock, a prohibition on stockholder actions by written consent, a prohibition on stockholder ability to call special meetings and advance notice for nominations of directors and stockholders proposals. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of the corporations outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a business combination, as defined, for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless specified conditions are satisfied.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-law provisions and Delaware law could diminish the opportunities for a stockholder to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at prices above the then current fair market value of our common stock, that could result from takeover attempts. In addition, our certificate of incorporation will allow our board of directors to issue, without further stockholder approval, preferred stock that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. The issuance of preferred stock also could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock, including the loss of voting control to others. The provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may have the effect of discouraging or preventing an acquisition of our business. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
The stockholder rights plan we intend to adopt will also have anti-takeover effects.
The stockholder rights plan that we expect to adopt is designed to protect our stockholders in the event of unsolicited offers to acquire us and other coercive takeover tactics that, in the opinion of our board of directors, could impair its ability to adequately represent stockholder interests. The provisions of the stockholder rights plan may render an unsolicited takeover more difficult or less likely to occur or might prevent such a takeover, even though such a takeover may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price and may be favored by a majority of our stockholders.
As a new investor, you will experience immediate dilution of % in the book value of your common stock and will experience additional dilution as outstanding options and warrants are exercised.
The per share net tangible book value of common stock you purchase in this offering will be less than the initial public offering per share price you paid for such common stock. Accordingly, if you purchase common stock in this offering at an initial public offering price of $ per share, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $ per share, which equals the difference between your purchase price per share and the net tangible book value per share. Prior investors paid lower per share prices than the initial public offering price. In addition, we have issued a significant number of options and warrants to purchase common stock at prices significantly below the initial public offering price. As of March 31, 2002 and giving effect to this offering, we had outstanding options to purchase 3,957,946 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.75 per share and outstanding warrants to purchase up to 988,290 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.17 per share. To the extent these outstanding options and warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to our investors.
In addition, the board of directors will adopt two new stock option plans that will become effective on or before the closing of this offering. Issuance of common stock upon the exercise of options issued under these new plans will have the effect of further diluting our investors.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $ million from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we estimate that we will receive total net proceeds of approximately $ million. These net proceeds are based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and are calculated after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder.
We intend to use:
| an estimated $ million of the net proceeds to fund a portion of the proposed acquisition of the remainder of Rebis, a leading developer of discipline-specific applications for the manufacturing plants industry, in a transaction more fully described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Acquisitions Rebis; | |
| approximately $15.2 million of the net proceeds to repay a promissory note issued in connection with our acquisition of certain product lines from Intergraph Corporation on December 26, 2000. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 9.5% and has a maturity date of December 1, 2003; and | |
| the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. We currently have no agreements with respect to material acquisitions other than the Rebis acquisition. |
The amount and timing of our uses of the net proceeds from this offering may vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, including our revenue growth, asset growth, cash flow and acquisition activities. Pending our use of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock for the last five years and have never paid cash dividends on our Class B common stock or Class D common stock. We pay quarterly dividends on our Senior Class C common stock. In 2001, we paid approximately $1.5 million in dividends on the Senior Class C common stock. In addition, we had accrued but unpaid dividends as of December 31, 2001 of approximately $0.8 million, which have since been paid.
Upon the closing of this offering, our Class A common stock will be redesignated common stock and our outstanding shares of Class B common stock, Senior Class C common stock, Class D common stock and Series A preferred stock will be converted into shares of our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock after this offering. Our policy is to retain cash for our operations and the expansion of our business. Our senior secured credit facility contains covenants limiting our ability to pay cash dividends under certain circumstances.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table summarizes our capitalization as of December 31, 2001:
| on an actual basis; | |
| on a pro forma basis to give effect, upon the closing of this offering, to the redesignation of our Class A common stock as common stock, the conversion of all other outstanding capital stock into our common stock and the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the automatic exercise, on a net issuance basis as of March 31, 2002, of certain warrants held by certain of our executive officers and others, as if each had occurred on December 31, 2001; and | |
| on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give further effect to the issuance of shares of our common stock for the proposed acquisition of the remainder of Rebis, our sale of shares of our common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and the application of the net proceeds as described under Use of Proceeds, including the payment of $ million in cash to fund a portion of the proposed acquisition of the remainder of Rebis, as if each had occurred on December 31, 2001. |

DILUTION
Pro Forma Net Tangible Book Value
The pro forma net tangible book value of our common stock was approximately $ million, or approximately $ per share, as of December 31, 2001. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. We calculated pro forma net tangible book value assuming each of the following occurred on December 31, 2001:
| the redesignation of our Class A common stock as common stock and the conversion of all other outstanding capital stock into our common stock; | |
| the sale of the common stock offered hereby; | |
| the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition of the remainder of Rebis and the associated intangibles acquired in connection with this acquisition; and | |
| the issuance, upon closing of this offering, of shares of our common stock upon the automatic exercise, on a net issuance basis as of March 31, 2002, of certain warrants held by certain of our executive officers and others. |
Dilution After This Offering
Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.
Assuming our sale of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2001 would have been approximately $ million or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.

Differences Between New and Existing Stockholders in Number of Shares and Amount Paid
The table below summarizes, on a pro forma basis, as of December 31, 2001, the differences between the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and by the new investors purchasing shares in this offering. We assumed an initial public offering price of $ per share and we have not deducted the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses in our calculations.

If the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full:
| the number of shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will decrease to approximately % of the total number of shares of our outstanding common stock; and | |
| the number of shares held by new investors will increase to , or approximately % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after completion of this offering. |
The foregoing excludes as of December 31, 2001:
| 3,960,146 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $5.75 per share on an actual basis and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding to be assumed in connection with the proposed acquisition of the remainder of Rebis, at a weighted average exercise price of $ per share, on a pro forma as adjusted basis; | |
| 988,290 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $10.17 per share, on a pro forma basis; and | |
| 2,100,000 additional shares of common stock that will be available for future issuance under our stock option plans. |
The exercise of options or warrants outstanding that have an exercise price less than the initial public offering price will increase dilution to new investors.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
The following should be read with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to those statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in Risk Factors, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
We are a global provider of collaborative software solutions that enable our users to create, manage and publish architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) content. Our software solutions enable our users to design, engineer, build and operate large constructed assets such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. We focus on five vertical industries that deploy such assets: transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. In addition, we provide professional services for our software solutions, including implementation, integration, customization and training.
Revenues. We generate revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses and services. Our subscriptions revenues consist of annual recurring fees that our users pay for Bentley SELECT. Coverage under Bentley SELECT includes the right to use our products on a concurrent license basis and access to maintenance and technical support, product updates, upgrades and enhancements. Subscriptions revenues include Bentley SELECT coverage for separately sold perpetual licenses. Subscriptions revenues also include annual and monthly term licenses under the Bentley SELECT subscription program. We began offering term licenses with the introduction of our Geopak software product lines in 1996. In April 2002, we expanded our subscription program to include annual and monthly term licenses for additional Bentley software solutions and a comprehensive enterprise subscription program for our largest users. We actively market the benefits of our Bentley SELECT subscription program and expect to continue deriving a larger percentage of total revenues from our recurring subscription base in future periods. As a percentage of total revenues, subscriptions revenues were 49.9%, 53.7% and 61.0% in 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
We recognize revenues from subscriptions ratably over the duration of the contract. The duration of the initial Bentley SELECT subscription contract is typically two years and we also offer licenses for monthly or annual terms. These contracts automatically renew for successive terms, unless terminated. Billings in advance of providing these services are recorded as deferred subscriptions revenues. We recognize revenues from perpetual licenses when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is considered probable and there are no remaining obligations. Our professional services consist of implementation, integration, customization and training. We recognize revenues for these services as they are performed.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of subscriptions revenues includes our internal salaries and related costs associated with servicing Bentley SELECT subscribers, as well as channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage and support to our Bentley SELECT subscribers. Cost of perpetual licenses includes channel partner compensation, royalties to certain technology providers, amortization of software translation costs, user manuals, the costs of diskettes and packaging materials and shipping and handling costs. Cost of services includes salaries for internal and third party personnel and related overhead costs for providing implementation, integration, customization and training services to our users.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses include research and development, selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily

Historically, the incentive compensation of the five Bentley brothers named in the Summary Compensation Table was computed generally based on 20% of operating cash earnings each quarter. See Management Executive Compensation Summary Compensation Table. The aggregate annual amounts paid under this arrangement were $2.5 million, $0.7 million, $1.6 million, $1.8 million and $4.3 million for each of the five years ended December 31, 2001. This incentive arrangement will be replaced following this offering with the employment agreements described in Management Employment Agreements.
We generated approximately 36% of our total revenues in 2001 from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 9% from Asia/Pacific and 3% from Latin and South America. North America includes Canada and the United States and Latin and South America includes Mexico. Because we generate revenues and incur expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in exchange rates will affect our revenues and operating performance. We believe we have a natural hedge against currency fluctuations because we generate revenues and incur costs and expenses in local currencies. Accordingly, we do not employ other mechanisms to manage our exposure to foreign currency risk.
Impact of Change in Distribution Model
In 2001, we initiated a strategy to change our distribution model for perpetual licenses from a predominantly resale model to one that emphasizes direct sales. Under our new model, we sell and deliver perpetual licenses directly to our users and the channel partner assigned to the account earns a commission. The new distribution model took effect in North America in November 2001 and will be phased in globally during 2002. Under the new model, our recognized revenues from the sale of each perpetual license are expected to be higher, reflecting the end user mark-up. Our cost of revenues will also increase by an approximately equal amount reflecting the commission paid to our channel partners. We anticipate that this change will not materially affect our gross profit, but that our gross margin percentage from perpetual licenses will decline.
In anticipation of this change in our distribution model, we actively sought to reduce the volume of products carried by our channel partners in their inventories. These efforts resulted in a reduction in channel partner inventories from approximately $13.3 million as of December 31, 2000 to approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 2001. The reduction in channel partner inventories during 2001 represents products purchased by our end users from our channel partners in excess of the $61.5 million in perpetual licenses revenues that we recognized in 2001.
Acquisitions
Rebis. On January 25, 2002, we purchased for $5.0 million in cash a 12.5% interest in, and an option to acquire the remainder of, Rebis, a leading developer of discipline-specific applications for the manufacturing plants industry. It is our current intention to exercise this option. Based upon a formula set forth in the option, we estimate the total consideration to be $ million, of which 70% will be paid in cash and the remaining 30% will be paid in shares of our common stock, valued at the initial public offering price. The closing of this acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions. We cannot give you any assurance that the contingencies related to our acquisition of the remainder of Rebis will be satisfied in a timely manner, or at all. The completion of the acquisition of the remainder of Rebis is not a condition to the closing of this offering. For the year-ended September 30, 2001, Rebis had revenues of

Geopak. In December 1996, we purchased 25% of the capital stock of Geopak Corporation and acquired worldwide distribution rights for Geopaks products. Geopak develops civil engineering software based on MicroStation primarily for the transportation industry. On September 18, 2001, we acquired the remaining capital stock of Geopak for an aggregate purchase price of $17.2 million. In consideration for such acquisition, we paid the stockholders of Geopak $7.5 million in cash and issued 40,000 shares of our Senior Class C common stock, 480,000 shares of our Class D common stock and warrants to purchase up to 554,667 shares of our Class B common stock. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
Intergraph Product Lines. On December 26, 2000, we purchased the civil engineering, plot-services and raster-conversion software product lines from Intergraph for a total purchase price of $35.4 million, as adjusted during 2001. At the closing, we paid $13.5 million in cash, excluding transaction costs, and delivered a promissory note for the balance, which is payable in equal installments over a three-year period. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 9.5%. We will repay this acquisition note with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our operating results. The impact of and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results and requires managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our preparation of this prospectus requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure you that actual results will not be different from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenues are the key component of our results of operations. In addition, our revenue recognition policy determines the timing of associated costs, such as commissions and royalties. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in determining revenues; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy such as reserves for possible returns of products from our channel partners and subscriptions revenues to be recognized on contracts awaiting renewal notification. Revenue results are difficult to predict and any shortfall in revenues or delay in recognizing revenues could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.
We recognize revenues from non-recurring perpetual license agreements in accordance with the provisions of AICPA Statements of Position (SOP) 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9 Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions as well as the preliminary conclusions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue 00-21, Multiple Element Arrangements. Perpetual licenses for software are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable and all

We recognize revenues from Bentley SELECT subscriptions ratably over the duration of the contract. The duration of the initial Bentley SELECT subscription contract is typically two years and we also offer licenses for monthly or annual terms. These contracts automatically renew for successive terms unless terminated. Billings in advance of providing services are recorded as deferred subscriptions revenues. Our professional services facilitate the implementation, integration, customization and training of our software solutions. We recognize revenues for these services as they are performed, as they are principally contracted for on a time and material basis.
In 2001, we initiated a strategy to change our distribution model for perpetual licenses from a predominantly resale model to one that emphasizes direct sales. Prior to the change, we recognized revenues upon shipment to the channel partner and recorded a reserve that reduced revenues for an estimate of future returns. Estimates for returns were adjusted periodically based upon historical rates of returns, inventory levels in the distribution channel and other related factors. While management believes it can make reliable estimates for these matters, nevertheless unsold products in these distribution channels are exposed to rapid changes in end user preferences or technological obsolescence due to new operating environments, product updates or competing products. As the amount of inventory in our distribution channel is no longer material, this risk has been reduced.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The majority of our receivables is due from various end users and channel partners located throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific. From time to time, our users dispute the amounts due to us and in other cases our users experience financial difficulties and cannot pay on a timely basis. In certain instances, these factors ultimately result in uncollectible accounts. The determination of the appropriate reserve needed for uncollectible accounts involves significant judgment. Changes in the factors used to evaluate collectibility could result in changes in the reserve needed. Such factors include changes in the financial condition of our customers as a result of industry, economic or customer-specific factors.
Intangibles. Our business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets. This affects the amount of future period amortization expenses and impairment expenses that we may incur. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance of our acquired businesses. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, we had approximately $49.7 million and $31.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles, net, respectively, accounting for 31% and 23%, respectively, of our total assets. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Income taxes. Our income tax policy records the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We follow specific guidelines regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessary allowances as required. The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record additional valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

Subscriptions. Subscriptions revenues increased to $123.6 million in 2001 from $96.8 million in 2000, representing an increase of 27.7%. The acquisition of the product lines from Intergraph and the acquisition of Geopak represented $15.8 million and $2.0 million of the increase, respectively. The other increase of $10.8 million, or 11.2%, was primarily driven by Bentley SELECT subscriptions coverage of newly sold perpetual licenses and new subscription coverage on previously sold perpetual licenses. As a percentage of total revenues, subscriptions revenues increased to 61.0% in 2001 from 53.7% in 2000.
Perpetual Licenses. Revenues from perpetual licenses decreased to $61.5 million in 2001 from $70.3 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 12.5%. The acquisition of the product lines from Intergraph contributed an additional $8.2 million in perpetual licenses revenues in 2001. The change in our distribution model resulted in a reduction of channel partner inventories of $11.8 million in 2001. If channel partner inventories had remained constant in 2001, we would have recognized an additional $11.8 million in perpetual licenses revenues. The other decrease of $3.1 million is largely the result of our increased emphasis on subscriptions revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, perpetual licenses revenues decreased to 30.3% in 2001 from 39.0% in 2000.
Services. Revenues from services increased to $17.5 million in 2001 from $13.1 million in 2000, representing an increase of 33.2%. This increase reflects our strategy to build our professional services in support of our products. As a percentage of total revenues, services revenues increased to 8.7% in 2001 from 7.3% in 2000.
Cost of Revenues
Total Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased to $54.7 million in 2001 from $59.6 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 8.3%. The decrease was attributable to lower channel partner compensation for subscription program services, elimination of royalty expenses previously paid to two technology providers that we acquired during 2000 and 2001, a reduction in software translation costs and reductions in the cost of packaging, shipping and handling, which reflect an emphasis on electronic fulfillment of orders. Gross margin was 73.0% in 2001 and 66.9% in 2000.
Cost of Subscriptions. Cost of subscriptions decreased to $25.5 million in 2001 from $29.7 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 14.2%. Gross margin on subscriptions revenues was 79.4% in 2001 and 69.3% in 2000. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in channel partner compensation. In 2001, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage and support to our Bentley SELECT users was reduced as we assumed greater responsibility for providing these services.
Cost of Perpetual Licenses. Cost of perpetual licenses decreased to $13.1 million in 2001 from $17.7 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 26.1%. Gross margin on perpetual licenses was 78.7% in 2001 and 74.8% in 2000. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the elimination of royalty expenses previously paid to two technology providers that we acquired during 2000 and 2001 and reductions in the cost of packaging, shipping and handling, which reflect an emphasis on electronic fulfillment of orders.
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased to $16.1 million in 2001 from $12.2 million in 2000, representing an increase of 32.0%. Gross margin on service revenues was 8.0% in 2001 and 7.1% in 2000. This increase was attributable to better utilization of internal and external staffing.
- 27 -
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to $40.5 million in 2001 from $35.3 million in 2000, representing an increase of 14.8%. The increase primarily reflects the addition of software development engineers associated with the acquisitions of the Intergraph product lines and Geopak, as well as regular salary increases for existing employees. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 20.0% in 2001 and 19.6% in 2000. We expect to continue investing in research and development initiatives associated with MicroStation, our discipline-specific applications and collaboration servers.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $74.7 million in 2001 from $69.4 million in 2000, representing an increase of 7.6%. The increase was attributable to the addition of sales and marketing personnel in connection with acquisitions, activities associated with the launch of MicroStation V8 and regular salary increases for existing personnel. Offsetting these increases were decreases attributable to the postponement of our annual users conference in 2001 due to the events of September 11. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 36.9% in 2001 and 38.5% in 2000.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to $16.3 million in 2001 as compared to $12.1 million in 2000, representing an increase of 34.9%. The increase is attributable to general and administrative expenses associated with the acquisition of Geopak, regular salary increases for existing personnel and travel expenses. General administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 8.0% in 2001 and 6.7% in 2000.
Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased to $6.5 million in 2001 from $2.7 million in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to our acquisition of product lines from Intergraph and, to a lesser extent, our acquisition of Geopak. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Changes in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of approximately $2.2 million on operating expenses during 2001.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased to $3.5 million in 2001 from $1.5 million in 2000. Interest expense increased to $4.2 million in 2001 from $2.2 million in 2000. The increase reflected increased debt, amortization of bank fees associated with our revolving credit line and non-cash costs relating to warrants issued to certain executives for the guarantee of our revolving credit line. Interest income was consistent at $0.7 million in 2001 and in 2000.
Other Income, net
Other income, net was $0.2 million in 2001 as compared to none in 2000. This increase reflects an increase associated with our equity in income of minority interests, partially offset by an unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income tax increased to $2.6 million in 2001 from $0.9 million in 2000. The provision for income tax for 2001 reflects an effective worldwide tax rate of approximately 39%. Provision for income taxes for 2000 reflects non-deductible expense on our pretax loss of $0.3 million. We expect that our effective income tax rate will decline to approximately 35% in 2002 as a result of the deductibility of goodwill.

As a percentage of total revenues, revenues outside North America accounted for approximately 47.4% in 2000 and 49.2% in 1999. Our total revenues originated from the following major geographic territories:

Subscriptions. Subscriptions revenues increased to $96.8 million in 2000 from $90.9 million in 1999, representing an increase of 6.5%. This increase was driven by $8.7 million from Bentley SELECT subscription coverage of newly sold perpetual licenses and new subscription coverage on previously sold perpetual licenses. This increase was partially offset by $3.6 million in foreign exchange effects. As a percentage of total revenues, subscriptions revenues increased to 53.7% in 2000 from 49.9% in 1999.
Perpetual Licenses. Revenues from perpetual licenses decreased to $70.3 million in 2000 from $78.4 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 10.5%. This decrease was due to our emphasis on subscriptions revenues and a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduced comparative revenues by $3.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in channel partner inventories during 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, perpetual licenses revenues decreased to 39.0% in 2000 from 43.1% in 1999.
Services. Revenues from services increased to $13.1 million in 2000 from $12.9 million in 1999, representing an increase of 2.2%. As a percentage of total revenues, services revenues remained consistent at 7.3% in 2000 and 7.0% in 1999.
Cost of Revenues
Total Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased to $59.6 million in 2000 from $63.4 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 6.0%. Gross margin on revenues was 66.9% in 2000 and 65.2% in 1999.
Cost of Subscriptions. Cost of subscriptions decreased to $29.7 million in 2000 from $31.4 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 5.4%. Gross margin on subscriptions revenues was 69.3% in 2000 and 65.5% in 1999. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in channel partner compensation, offset by increased internal technical support costs. In 2000, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage and support to our Bentley SELECT users was reduced as we assumed greater responsibility for providing these services.
- 29 -
Cost of Perpetual Licenses. Cost of perpetual licenses decreased to $17.7 million in 2000 from $19.4 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 8.7%. This decrease was the result of lower perpetual licenses revenues. Gross margin on perpetual licenses remained relatively consistent at 74.8% in 2000 and 75.3% in 1999.
Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased to $12.2 million in 2000 from $12.6 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 3.4%. Gross margin on service revenues was 7.1% in 2000 and 1.7% in 1999. This increase was attributable to better utilization of internal and external staff.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to $35.3 million in 2000 from $34.0 million in 1999, representing an increase of 3.8%. The increase primarily reflects the addition of software development engineers associated with an acquisition that occurred in May 2000, as well as regular salary increases for existing employees. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 19.6% in 2000 and 18.7% in 1999.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $69.4 million in 2000 from $70.3 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 1.2%. This decrease was primarily due to cost control efforts related to advertising, marketing and promotion costs. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 38.5% in 2000 and 38.6% in 1999.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased to $12.1 million in 2000 from $12.8 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 5.7%. In 1999, we recorded $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, which did not occur in 2000. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 6.7% in 2000 and 7.0% in 1999.
Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased to $2.7 million in 2000 from $2.5 million in 1999. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Changes in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact of approximately $3.2 million on operating expenses during 2000.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased to $1.5 million in 2000 from $1.9 million in 1999, representing a decrease of 21.9%. Interest expense was $2.2 million in 2000 and $2.3 million in 1999. Interest income was $0.7 million for 2000 and $0.4 million for 1999. The increase reflected interest earned on notes receivable from employees related to purchases of equity, which were issued in 1999 and 2000.
Other Income, net
Other income, net was none in 2000 as compared to $0.7 million in 1999. This decrease reflects an unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates, and an increased loss from our equity in minority interests.
Arbitration Settlement
In 1999, we recognized a gain of $13.6 million of income pursuant to an arbitration settlement agreement between us and Intergraph Corporation. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms of the Intergraph arbitration settlement.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income tax decreased to $0.9 million in 2000 from $4.2 million in 1999. The provision for income tax for 2000 reflects the effects of non-deductible expenses on our pretax loss of $0.3 million. While non-deductible expenses remained relatively consistent between 1999 and 2000, we reported taxable income of $11.6 million in 1999 as compared to a pretax loss of $0.3 million in 2000.

Our operating results have varied on a quarterly basis and may fluctuate significantly in the future. In general, our revenues are highest in the fourth quarter, reflecting customer expenditures against approved budgets and information technology spending. Our revenues generally are also strong in the second quarter, due in part to fiscal year ends of our government clients. Third quarter revenues are generally lower than fourth quarter revenues primarily due to a slow down in the summer months, particularly outside of North America.
Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include those described below and elsewhere in this prospectus:
| a higher concentration of sales in the fourth quarter as a result of information technology spending patterns; | |
| postponement or cancellation of orders for new perpetual licenses or subscriptions due to changes in general economic conditions or in strategic priorities, project objectives, budget or personnel of our users; | |
| variability in user evaluations and the duration of internal approval and expenditure authorizations; | |
| changes in the pricing of our products and services or those of our competitors; | |
| variability in the mix of our revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses and services; and | |
| unpredictability in users purchasing decisions due to the number, timing and significance of software product enhancements and new software product announcements by us and our competitors. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operations primarily with cash generated through operations and our revolving credit facility. During 2000, we borrowed from our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and to fund, in part, the acquisition of product lines from Intergraph. During 2001, we repaid the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2001, we had $13.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $9.1 million. Excluding the current portion of deferred subscriptions revenues, our working capital as of December 31, 2001 was $47.3 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.7 million, $17.8 million and $20.1 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 2001, net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from our net income before depreciation and amortization and an increase in deferred subscriptions revenues. In 2000, net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from our net income before depreciation and amortization and increases in accruals and other current liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $17.9 million in 2001 as compared to 2000. This increase was primarily the result of net income of $4.1 million in 2001 compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in 2000 and an increase in our deferred subscriptions revenues of $8.3 million primarily due to the acquisition of the product lines from Intergraph and the annual Bentley SELECT subscriptions covering these product lines.
Net cash used in investing activities was $9.5 million, $25.0 million and $4.7 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in 2001 reflects purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.7 million, the net cash portion of the acquisition of Geopak Corporation of $3.7 million and $1.1 million for capitalized software translation costs and investments. Cash used in investing activities in 2000 reflects acquisitions of $14.2 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7.8 million and $2.9 million for capitalized software translation costs and investments. Cash used in investing activities in 1999 reflected $2.6 million for capitalized software translation costs, investments and acquisitions of technology and other intangibles. In 1999, purchases of property, plant and equipment were $2.2 million. We have generally funded acquisitions and capital expenditures, in part, through the use of cash generated through operations, bank loans and the sale of equity securities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.7 million in 2001, net cash provided by financing activities was $5.3 million in 2000 and net cash used in financing activities was $13.1 million in 1999. In 2001, we repaid $22.8 million under the revolving credit facility and other debt and paid $1.5 million in Senior Class C common stock dividends. These cash outflows were offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $2.6 million and the sale of Senior Class C common stock of $2.6 million. In 2000, we borrowed $15.5 million from our revolving credit facility and repaid $18.7 million of other short-term and long-term debt. We also received proceeds of $7.4 million from the sale of Senior Class C common stock. In 1999, we repaid $13.1 million of short-term and long-term debt.
On December 26, 2000, we entered into a $32.0 million revolving credit facility with two commercial U.S. banks as co-lenders. Borrowings under this facility are collateralized by our assets and provide for discretionary advances up to 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2001, borrowings available under the revolving credit facility were $26.1 million. The revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain financial and non-financial covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, there were no letters of credit outstanding. However, as of March 31, 2002, a letter of credit in the amount of $1.3 million was outstanding.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our revolving credit facility, cash generated from operations and net proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
Inflation
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133, issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. We adopted SFAS No. 133 beginning on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also changes the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. We adopted SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001. We have historically used the purchase method to account for all business combinations and we do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 141 will materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed annually for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. SFAS No. 142 applies to goodwill and certain intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001. We adopted this statement on January 1, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 had no impact on our financial statements. However, in the future, SFAS No. 142 will have the impact of reducing our non-cash amortization expense of goodwill and will have a material impact on our financial statements. The required impairment tests of goodwill may result in future period write-downs. Amortization of goodwill was

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Under SFAS No. 143, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the liability. Our adoption of SFAS No. 143 will be effective on January 1, 2003. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, it removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
Because we have operations in a number of countries and our service agreements in such countries are denominated in foreign currencies, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As currency rates change, translation of the income statements of our international entities from local currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. We do not hedge translation risks because we generally reinvest the cash flows from operations outside North America. We do not utilize any derivative security instruments.
Management estimates that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would have impacted reported operating profit by approximately $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This sensitivity
- 35 -
Interest Rate Risk
We earn interest income from our balances of cash and cash equivalents. This interest income is subject to market risk related to changes in interest rates, which primarily affects our investment portfolio. We invest in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy. Our investment policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of investment.
As of December 31, 2001, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market accounts. Due to the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, a sudden change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the value of the portfolio. Management estimates that if the average yield of our investments decreased by 100 basis points, our interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001 would have decreased by approximately $0.1 million. This estimate assumes that the decrease occurred on the first day of 2001 and reduced the yield of each investment instrument by 100 basis points. The impact on our future interest income will depend largely on the gross amount of our investments and future changes in investment yields.

BUSINESS
Overview of Our Company
We are a global provider of collaborative software solutions that enable our users to create, manage and publish architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) content. Our software solutions are used to design, engineer, build and operate large constructed assets, such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. We focus on five vertical industries that deploy such assets: transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. In addition, we provide professional services for our software solutions, including implementation, integration, customization and training.
The foundation of our software solutions is our design platform, MicroStation. MicroStation was originally developed in the mid-1980s by a team of developers led by Keith and Barry Bentley. Our solutions are widely used both by major engineering and architectural firms, including Bechtel Corporation, as well as by owner/operators of large constructed assets, including 46 U.S. state departments of transportation, Fincantieri Cantieri Nivali Italiani SpA, Union Bank of Switzerland, San Antonio City Public Service Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
We generate revenues through a renewable subscription program, known as Bentley SELECT, as well as through perpetual licenses and services. Our subscriptions revenues consist of annual recurring fees that our users pay for Bentley SELECT. Coverage under Bentley SELECT includes the right to use our products on a concurrent license basis and access to maintenance and technical support, product updates, upgrades and enhancements. Bentley SELECT further offers our users a comprehensive relationship management vehicle that provides streamlined software purchasing arrangements as well as access to on-line services, industry-specific knowledge bases, content libraries, training sessions and special events. Since these benefits are only available through Bentley SELECT, most purchasers of perpetual licenses subscribe to Bentley SELECT. Subscriptions revenues include Bentley SELECT coverage for separately sold perpetual licenses. Subscriptions revenues also include annual and monthly term licenses under the Bentley SELECT subscription program. We began offering term licenses with the introduction of our Geopak software product lines in 1996. In April 2002, we expanded our subscription program to include monthly term licenses for additional Bentley software solutions and a comprehensive enterprise subscription program for our largest users. In 2001, over 60% of our total revenues were derived from our subscriptions. We generated revenues of $202.6 million in 2001, and approximately 48% of our total revenues were generated from operations outside North America in 2001. As of March 31, 2002, we had 1,145 employees operating from 70 offices in 38 countries.
Industry Background
AEC content is critical to the design, construction and operation of large constructed assets, such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. AEC content consists of technical drawings, three-dimensional models, specifications, purchasing information and maintenance records, as well as relational data and indices. This content is typically created, used and shared by a large number of individuals from many different organizations throughout the lifecycle of the constructed asset, from design and construction through operation and maintenance.
AEC content is typically not organized and maintained systematically, despite the requirement to maintain legal documents of record and the potential additional value to be derived from using such content in the operation of large constructed assets. While drawings are printed and then used in construction, changes made during and after construction are most often not captured digitally. What begins as electronic design ends as marked-up paper drawings, and the foundation for integrated, digital AEC content is lost.
Participants in the design, construction and operation of large constructed assets require a solution that enables them to manage diverse, mission-critical AEC content and collaborate during all phases of the assets lifecycle. Collaboration across technical disciplines is complex and requires a solution that manages access, maintains revision history and tracks changes, including as built and as maintained.
- 37 -
Collaboration can lead to significant efficiencies by providing access to current AEC content, as well as enabling users to visualize the assets design, analyze real time impact, resolve design and construction issues and communicate specification changes. In addition, users seek a collaborative solution that allows AEC content to be published to multiple electronic and physical media in a format appropriate to each user. Collaboration can reduce design and construction time, lower project costs and result in assets that are more efficiently constructed and more easily operated.
Users also require software solutions that are designed for the needs of their specific industries. Unlike solutions with a broad, generic approach, solutions that incorporate extensive industry knowledge and industry best practices are better able to meet these needs. For example, a firm that designs and constructs roadway systems requires a solution that supports design workflows for bridges, interchanges, overpasses, on-ramps and off-ramps.
AEC software vendors currently offer either design solutions or generic collaborative solutions that manage information separate from design content. Without integrating design and collaboration, these solutions fail to address the long-term asset lifecycle needs of project participants, including contractors, owner/ operators and vendors. Moreover, these solutions significantly limit the usefulness of AEC content, either because they do not recognize attributes of AEC content or fail to support collaborative access to, and interaction with, AEC content.
AEC design content is predominantly created in either DWG or DGN, the industrys two leading and most widely accepted file formats. Large AEC projects typically involve the use of both file formats during the design and engineering phases, requiring significant work to translate files and frequently resulting in loss of important AEC content. As the work of one project participant is often relied upon by other participants, dual-formatted content significantly limits design and engineering efficiency, often resulting in errors and undependable file translations or reverting to the exchange of paper drawings or computer images thereof, instead of intelligent, queryable formats. Additionally, organizations that design, construct or operate large constructed assets have voluminous libraries of drawings and documents that date back many years, many of which are documents of record and must be maintained as a matter of law. While recent drawings and documents are often stored in various electronic formats, historical drawings are stored in libraries on paper, Mylar or microfilm. As a result, users require software solutions that accommodate digital content stored in either DWG or DGN file format, as well as legacy content currently stored on physical media.
AEC content can provide additional value to users through interoperability and integration with other enterprise software applications that are utilized by project participants, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), procurement, supply chain management (SCM) and financial control systems. These benefits can only be achieved if the content contained in a design file is recognizable, and can be related to other useful information such as bills of material and schedules. A drawing on paper is a collection of lines and arcs, and replicating it on a computer screen adds little value. The building blocks of a design, or the components, must be associated to their real characteristics or attributes. For example, a pump in an oil refinery must be understood to be a pump, rather than a graphical representation of a pump, with dimensions, manufacturer part number, how it interacts with other components and other information. With such relational and semantic context, the AEC content can be utilized to automatically provide a bill of materials to an SCM system, generate a cost estimate for a financial control system and enable project teams to assess alternative scenarios in identifying and resolving design or engineering issues.
According to International Data Corporation (IDC) research, total worldwide software license and maintenance revenues for AEC applications in 2001 were $2.138 billion and are forecast to grow to $4.072 billion by 2006 (IDC Worldwide Software Forecaster, March 2002). We believe that collaborative software solutions that integrate and manage AEC content represent an opportunity to solve problems not addressed by current AEC software.
Organizations engaged in the design, construction and operation of large constructed assets require a software solution that facilitates efficient design while also allowing all project participants to communicate, collaborate and share information throughout an assets lifecycle. These organizations

Our Solution
Our collaborative software solutions enable our users to maximize the value of AEC content by supporting an integrated approach to managing the lifecycle of a large constructed asset, from design and construction through operation and maintenance. The foundation of our solution is a single integrated design platform, MicroStation, that natively supports both the DWG and DGN file formats and is extended with our discipline-specific applications developed for the unique design challenges presented by the broad range of potential workflows that exist in our target industries. Our fully integrated collaboration servers manage and publish content created by MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications, as well as content created with other design and enterprise applications. We believe that our integrated approach facilitates the design and construction process, shortens project schedules, reduces overall project costs and facilitates the operation and management of the large constructed asset.
The benefits of our solutions include:
| Comprehensive unified architecture. MicroStation is the foundation for our discipline-specific applications and is integrated with our collaboration servers into a comprehensive, unified architecture. Because our solutions are founded on a comprehensive, unified architecture, our users benefit from application integration and data interoperability and consistency. Our collaboration servers recognize AEC content at the component level and intelligently manage content based on a components descriptive attributes. For example, our piping application can produce a design of a piping system that will integrate seamlessly with a structure created with our architectural application, regardless of whether the applications are used simultaneously on the same computer by one person or independently by two people across a network. MicroStation V8, released in October 2001, provides native access to its own DGN file format as well as to the industrys other leading format, DWG. This ability eliminates the need to translate between formats and manage resulting translation errors. | |
| Targeted vertical industry solutions. Our discipline-specific applications extend MicroStations creation capabilities with applications tailored to the design challenges of architectural and engineering disciplines. We offer discipline-specific applications for architectural design, civil engineering, geoengineering, facilities management and plant design, that incorporate extensive industry knowledge and industry best practices, and also integrate seamlessly with other Bentley products. These discipline-specific applications are developed utilizing the expertise of our employees, many of whom have spent substantial portions of their careers participating in projects within one or more of our target industries. We use combinations of discipline-specific applications to address the needs of users in five vertical industries: transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. Our focus on these vertical industry solutions enables our users to address unique workflow requirements encountered in these industries, while maintaining the integrity of AEC content. | |
| Collaboration for more efficiently constructed assets. Our collaboration servers enable project participants from disparate organizations in multiple locations to collaborate and share AEC content and expertise. Users of our collaboration servers are able to query and annotate designs, track change history and interface with accounting, procurement and other enterprise applications. By accurately tracking design history and providing easy access to AEC content, our software allows users to communicate effectively, streamline the design process, utilize |
- 39 -
resources efficiently, improve design quality and reduce costs incurred over the lifecycle of a large constructed asset. For example, our softwares ability to track design history allows a particular portion of a design iteration to be traced to its origin and contributor, information normally lost but invaluable when resolving disputes or addressing complex design and construction situations. | ||
| Incorporation of legacy AEC content. While new designs created with MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications are intelligent and created in a form immediately understood by our collaboration servers, our users have substantial volumes of historical documents of record in digital or hardcopy format that must also be managed, retained and made available, often as a matter of law. This is particularly valuable for applications related to vulnerability assessments and consequence management to assure the physical security of key infrastructure assets. Our software solutions enable our users to convert paper documents to digital form, index the document to describe its content, add intelligence and cross reference the digital components to other related data. These capabilities permit our users to benefit from AEC content that had previously been virtually inaccessible. | |
| Integrated digital content over the assets lifecycle. Our solutions enable the organization of AEC content related to the design, construction and maintenance of an asset. Our collaboration servers manage an integrated virtual model of an asset and associate it with descriptive content and other non-graphical content, providing an environment where changes due to construction, maintenance or other factors can be systematically and digitally recorded. By cohesively integrating previously disconnected and often non-digital AEC content, our solution prevents loss of mission critical information, simplifies access to AEC content and supports more effective management of large constructed assets. |
Our Strategy
Our objective is to be a leading provider of collaborative software solutions to the industries we have targeted. To achieve this objective we intend to pursue the following strategies:
| Focus on the vertical industries we serve. We focus on specific industries in which owner/operators derive substantial value from the operation of large constructed assets throughout their lifecycles. These industries include transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. We believe that industry experience and expertise are critical attributes sought by owner/operators when they select collaborative AEC software solutions. Our industry focus enables us to deliver tailored solutions that offer advantages in functionality and use of AEC content as compared to products offered by other software providers. In addition, we believe that our focus on specific industries makes our sales, marketing and product development efforts more efficient and effective in these targeted industry groups. We plan to devote substantial product development resources as well as additional sales and marketing resources in our efforts to expand our leadership position in each of our targeted vertical industries. | |
| Enhance and extend our collaborative software solutions. Our collaboration servers allow our users to maximize the value of large constructed assets by enabling the use, re-use and sharing of AEC content. Our content management and publishing products facilitate communication among project participants and non-engineers for purposes of building, maintaining, re-furbishing, repairing or operating these assets. We have invested significant research and development resources in our collaboration servers over the last three years and we intend to continue investing our resources to enhance this technology, as we believe collaboration servers will be a key component of our future growth. | |
| Grow our subscriptions revenues. In 2001, over 60% of our total revenues were derived from our subscriptions. In response to user demand, we have begun expanding Bentley SELECT to include monthly and annual term licenses for additional Bentley software solutions and a |
- 40 -
comprehensive enterprise subscription program for our largest users. We have aligned our sales force compensation, pricing structure and marketing materials to increase the adoption of Bentley SELECT subscriptions. We believe the recurring nature of subscriptions provides stability and predictability to our revenues. We expect to offer additional subscription programs under Bentley SELECT and to increase the percentage of our revenues derived from recurring subscriptions revenues. | ||
| Increase our direct sales and support capabilities. While historically we had used a network of independent channel partners to reach our users, during the last several years we have been increasing our direct sales and support capabilities. This shift has been part of our strategy to gain more direct control of our largest customers and to maximize our opportunities with these accounts. In 2001, we began selling and delivering perpetual licenses directly to our users in North America as opposed to indirectly though our channel partners. This plan will be phased in globally in 2002. In 2003, we intend to begin servicing certain of our largest accounts exclusively with our direct sales and support personnel while our channel partners focus on growing our business outside of these defined accounts. We expect to continue to enhance our direct sales and support capabilities and adjust the role of our channel partners to maximize our opportunities. | |
| Expand our professional services. As our products have evolved from desktop applications to broader enterprise and web-based solutions, our users need for implementation, integration, customization and training services has also grown. To date, such professional services have largely been performed by our channel partners. Our collaborative solutions will require a greater degree of professional services and we intend to take a more active role in the delivery and management of these services. We expect to continue to expand our services capabilities, grow its contribution to revenues and position our services as a value independent of related software sales. | |
| Grow through strategic acquisitions. To date, we have acquired and successfully integrated companies and/or technologies that strategically supplement our product offerings within our targeted vertical industries. We expect to continue to use acquisitions to expand our product offerings, accelerate our product development process and enhance our leadership position within our targeted industries. |
Our Products
We offer three types of products that enable our users to create, manage and publish AEC content. Our products include:
| MicroStation; | |
| Discipline-specific applications; and | |
| Collaboration servers. |
We offer our software through a renewable subscription program, known as Bentley SELECT, as well as through perpetual licenses. Our subscriptions revenues consist of annual recurring fees that our users pay for Bentley SELECT. Coverage under Bentley SELECT includes the right to use our products on a concurrent license basis and access to maintenance and technical support, product updates, upgrades and enhancements. Bentley SELECT further offers our users a comprehensive relationship management vehicle that provides streamlined software purchasing arrangements as well as access to on-line services, industry-specific knowledge bases, content libraries, training sessions and special events. Subscriptions revenues include Bentley SELECT coverage for separately sold perpetual licenses. Subscriptions revenues also include annual and monthly term licenses under the Bentley SELECT subscription program. We began offering term licenses with the introduction of our Geopak software product lines in 1996. In April 2002, we expanded our subscription program to include annual and monthly term licenses for additional Bentley software solutions and a comprehensive enterprise subscription program for our largest users.
- 41 -
Certain of our discipline-specific applications are available as portfolio subscriptions that address the needs of specific engineering and architectural disciplines within our targeted industries. Currently, we offer portfolio solutions for road design, rail design, civil engineering, geoengineering, plant design and manufacturing facilities design.
MicroStation
Our design platform, MicroStation, is a graphical design environment used to create, visualize, query and publish intelligent two-dimensional drawings, maps and three-dimensional models. Drawings, maps and models are created using vector graphics and may incorporate or be associated with other data such as images, aerial photographs and database records.
MicroStation is used for architectural, engineering and analysis workflows necessary to support the design, construction and operation of large constructed assets such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. We bundle MicroStation with several companion products that can be configured with MicroStation to address specific workflows, including configurations for schematic design, three-dimensional design, civil engineering and geographic features.
Drawings, maps and models created on the MicroStation platform preserve the full range of AEC content in an easily accessible, searchable form. MicroStation V8 offers native support for DWG files created on competitive platforms, allowing users to open, modify, display and save files that were created in either the DWG file format or MicroStations DGN file format.
MicroStation serves as the single integrated operating platform for our discipline-specific applications. MicroStations standards-based architecture enables users to simplify data management and ensures application integration and consistency. MicroStation is delivered with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including Visual Basic for Applications, that are used by end users and third parties to customize and extend its capabilities. The discipline-specific applications typically support the same APIs.
Discipline-Specific Applications
Each architectural and engineering discipline requires applications that are tailored to its unique design challenges and that deliver more than simple computerized drafting. Civil engineering disciplines required to design a roadway, for example, are very different from the architectural, structural, piping and other disciplines necessary to design a manufacturing plant. Our discipline-specific applications extend MicroStations creation capabilities to enable automated, directed and intelligent design, specific to the unique requirements of each discipline. Our discipline-specific applications are fully integrated with each other, offering seamless interoperability in a single design environment.
| Architectural Design. Our architectural design applications are delivered with libraries of parametric building parts and support Internet links to vendor and manufacturer product catalogs. All aspects of the design are integrated into a three-dimensional model, and a rich set of visualization and simulation tools provides dynamic and photorealistic reviews. Traditional drawings, bills of materials and other reports can be extracted from the model, which acts as a geometrically indexed database of AEC content. | |
| Civil Engineering. Our civil engineering applications are used to design, construct, maintain and operate transportation infrastructure. These applications are used for roadway and corridor design, widening and resurfacing, survey site design and storm water removal, hydrology, earthworks, bridge modeling, interchange design, rail design and maintenance. Users of these products create plans, plan profiles, cross sections, contour maps, digital terrain models and alignments, information generally necessary to plan and support construction. We also offer transportation operation and maintenance solutions for routing and permitting of oversize and overweight vehicles, automatic traffic surveillance and control and right of way land acquisition and planning. | |
| Geoengineering. Governments and utilities use our geoengineering products for corridor mapping, network planning and management, engineering work orders, land base mapping, asset |
- 42 -
management, public works, tax assessment, land register, land use management, and water and wastewater management. Our geoengineering applications support document conversion, mapping, imaging and spatial analysis. Because our discipline-specific applications are integrated, our users are able to conduct engineering, architecture and geoengineering within the same design environment. | ||
| Facilities. Automotive manufacturers, airports, banks and other occupants of large industrial and business complexes use our facilities applications to optimize factory floor layout, allocate and plan space and track and manage assets. Our facilities management applications are used to design, model and visualize facilities, associate asset records to their location and manage asset transactions. By providing quick and easy access to detailed and up to date AEC content pertaining to the facility and its associated assets, these applications help corporate and industrial users to optimize their use of space and lower operating costs. | |
| Plant Design. Our plant design applications enable piping and electrical systems design, instrumentation design and maintenance, equipment modeling, schematic and isometric drawing and interference detection. Our component-based architecture ensures that individual parts can be identified and intelligently manipulated. For example, a conduit for electrical cables can be used with related components created by other discipline-specific applications, without the loss of intelligence of the conduit component. Additionally, our applications support photorealistic simulation and animation of proposed changes, automatic detection of interference and other problems and dynamically projected models to specified construction milestones. These features provide project managers with actual versus planned construction comparisons, analysis of constructability issues, improved design and procurement strategies and alternatives for resolving design conflicts. |
Collaboration Servers
Our collaboration servers consist of content management servers and content publishing servers.
Our content management servers:
| act as a repository for AEC content created by our products, as well as for content created by other design and business products; | |
| enable synchronization between architectural and engineering disciplines and project participants; | |
| govern access to AEC content, ensuring security and enforcing data integrity; | |
| organize and index the information to support component and file-based queries; and | |
| integrate design, scheduling, procurement, operation, maintenance and other data from multiple, disparate systems, and allow it to be managed as though it were from a single, unified source. |
Our content publishing servers:
| render and print AEC designs as high-fidelity, large format drawings on local or remote devices; | |
| publish maps, models and high-resolution images over the network and Internet; | |
| support graphical and attribute-based queries and seamless integration with other data sources, such as an Oracle database; | |
| support Web development to enable users to create rich Web interfaces that organize the presentation of content through map, model or other interface paradigms; | |
| support streaming and other techniques to enable users to interactively navigate extremely large data sets, often gigabytes in size, even over low bandwidths; | |
| compose AEC content and deliver in appropriate formats to ERP, document management, procurement and other enterprise software systems; and | |
| deliver AEC content automatically based upon some event such as a date or workflow state. |

Technology and Product Architecture
Our software solutions are based on a single unified architecture and enable our users to create, manage and publish AEC content. MicroStation and discipline-specific applications are used to create AEC content and our collaboration servers are used to manage and publish such content. Our collaboration servers are accessed by users of MicroStation and related discipline-specific applications, as well as by many additional users that need access to AEC content.
Data generated by MicroStation and discipline-specific applications is stored in both files and relational databases. Data that is primarily graphical is stored in design files. The design file format used by MicroStation is known as the DGN format. With MicroStation V8, the DGN format was extended to store more complex data, track the history of graphical components, embed information using XML and store a superset of the data that is stored in other design file formats, particularly DWG, the other leading file format. MicroStation is the only platform that provides native support for both file formats. DGN files have mechanisms that allow nongraphical data associated with graphics to be stored either within the file itself, or linked to external relational databases.
Our collaboration servers store the design files and other files typically associated with AEC projects, such as Microsoft Word files and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and keep metadata about those files in a relational database such as Oracle. The metadata about these files includes file location, when and by whom revisions have been made, access rights, cross-referenced files and other similar information. The relational database may also contain an index of other relevant data contained within design files. The client software used to create the content connects to the collaboration server to request that data be delivered to the local computer for modification. Users who are not editors, but viewers of the content, can use thin, browser-based clients to request that the collaboration server deliver the appropriate data to their browser window.
- 44 -
Certain of our collaboration servers are designed to integrate and publish information from multiple sources, including design files, other application files such as spreadsheets and data stored in integrated databases. Information is collected from those sources using adapters, and business rules are defined in a macro language to relate the disparate data from those multiple sources. For example, the components in a design file can be linked to procurement data stored in a relational database and to scheduling information from a project schedule database to deduce and graphically display the components that will delay the project unless their delivery date is expedited.
MicroStation, our discipline-specific applications and collaboration servers have been developed using a combination of the C, C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, SQL and Java programming languages. Our users and third parties use documented APIs to extend and customize the applications.
MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications require a Microsoft Windows operating system. We currently support Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Our collaboration servers consist of server programs and a variety of client programs. Databases can run on either Microsoft Windows or Unix-based server systems.
Additionally, we offer an on-line project collaboration site to our Bentley SELECT subscribers. This site provides a neutral place for distinct organizations to collaborate and to coordinate project communication and data sharing. Our collaboration servers include similar functionality for users who prefer in-house collaboration networks.

Case Studies
Bechtel Corporation |
Bechtel Corporation, one of the worlds largest engineering and construction firms, is the prime contractor for the River Protection Project Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) in Hanford, Washington. The WTP is part of the governments solution to the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) single largest nuclear waste issue, the Hanford Tank Farm, which contains approximately 53 million gallons, in 177 underground tanks, of radioactive chemical and nuclear waste from reprocessing operations. Concerned about the deterioration of the tanks and the potential for radioactive waste to seep into the nearby Columbia River, the DOE commissioned the WTP in order to clean the site and securely store the nuclear waste. The total cost of the project, including design and construction, is estimated to be approximately $4 billion over 10 years. The project will use 250,000 cubic yards of concrete, 58,000 tons of reinforcing and structural steel, 1,500 tons of ductwork, nearly one million linear feet of pipe and 6 million feet of wire and cable.
- 47 -
After being named the prime contractor on the WTP in December 2000, Bechtel desired a set of software solutions to streamline the design and construction of the project, including:
| construction simulation applications to preview design changes and improve workflows; | |
| collaboration servers to manage AEC content throughout the projects lifecycle; and | |
| an integrated platform for employees located in multiple areas to share data. |
Bechtel selected our solutions for the WTP because it believes our discipline-specific applications best address its architectural, structural, HVAC and other project requirements. Bechtel recently implemented our software to perform three-dimensional graphic modeling for construction design and simulation, with a goal to reduce project costs by improving constructability and minimizing change at the project site. Bechtel also uses our collaboration servers to manage, integrate and maintain over 25,000 files created in multiple applications for various disciplines. In addition, our collaboration servers enable project participants to query, search and leverage AEC content over the plants lifecycle, an important requirement of the DOE. For the design and construction of the WTP, Bechtel currently uses MicroStation, 15 discipline-specific applications and our collaboration servers, employing over 850 licenses.
Bechtel standardized on the MicroStation platform in 1991 and currently owns nearly 3,000 MicroStation licenses world-wide.
Pentagon Renovation Program
The Pentagon, which is the headquarters for the U.S. Department of Defense, is the worlds largest low-rise office building and accommodates a daily population of approximately 23,000 employees. Since its original construction in 1943, the Pentagon has never undergone a major renovation. However, in 1991, approval was granted to begin the Pentagon Renovation Program (PenRen) in order to meet current health, fire and life safety codes and provide reliable electrical, air conditioning and ventilation services. PenRen is a long-term renovation project that entails more than 6,000,000 square feet of space and a multibillion-dollar budget. As part of this project, PenRen initiated the first comprehensive effort to standardize and organize all AEC content created in the Pentagons 58-year history. PenRen sought a solution that provided the most cost-effective way to:
| standardize the process by which AEC models are created; | |
| access AEC content in real-time to support renovation decisions; and | |
| utilize AEC content throughout the lifecycle of the facility. |
PenRen uses our MicroStation platform to integrate considerable amounts of data into cohesive three-dimensional images. MicroStation enables PenRen to gather and exchange graphic images and notational data; draw and distribute construction designs; provide animated three-dimensional models and presentations; and coordinate AEC content with subcontractors, supervisors and operations staff. PenRen utilizes MicroStation, along with third party solutions, to generate AEC content that supports the simulation of the movement of people, furniture and equipment, resulting in fewer disruptions and minimized costs. Our products play a central role in the Pentagons long-term facility and infrastructure management plan by allowing easy access to AEC content over the life of the facility.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon, MicroStation-based engineering models of the Pentagon quickly produced detailed structural drawings for use by rescue crews, structural engineers and law enforcement officers.
New York State Department of Transportation
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) manages a large and complex transportation system with over 110,000 highway miles, 17,000 bridges, 5,000 rail miles, 456 aviation facilities and 12 major ports. Prior to implementing our solutions, the NYSDOT managed its AEC content either manually or through a variety of internally developed systems. The NYSDOT experienced significant challenges in efficiently creating and managing AEC content, communicating project changes in
- 48 -
The NYSDOT began utilizing our solutions in 1987 with an initial purchase of 100 MicroStation licenses and added 125 licenses of our roadway design solution in 1989. By 2001, NYSDOT held 600 licenses of MicroStation, 325 licenses of our roadway design solution and 800 licenses of our network plotting application. In 2002, NYSDOT entered into a five-year, $5.2 million enterprise subscription agreement with us, which provides access to our full suite of collaborative software solutions, as well as our consulting and training services. The NYSDOT uses MicroStation and our discipline-specific applications to design and support multi-billion dollar capital projects annually and our collaboration servers to improve production workflow and standardize technical drawings. NYSDOT will use our collaboration servers to organize and provide security for its 7,000 active and archived projects, consisting of more than 300,000 files. The tight integration and support of these solutions enable the NYSDOT to efficiently complete a greater number of projects while utilizing fewer resources.
Bligh Lobb Sports Architecture
Bligh Voller Nield, a MicroStation user since 1991, is one of Australias largest architecture practices. Bligh Voller Nield joined forces with a leading UK-based architectural firm, Lobb Partnership, to form a team of sports facility specialists called Bligh Lobb Sports Architecture (BLSA). In 1996, BLSA won the bid to design, build and operate Stadium Australia, the largest Olympic stadium ever built. A challenging design feature of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Stadium was the translucent, saddle-shaped roof, which was designed to effectively shade and protect spectators, allow maximum natural light for athletes and provide an environment for optimal turf growth. Another design consideration for the stadium was the objective to reduce seating capacity by over 25% following completion of the Olympics, to save on future maintenance costs. BLSA was seeking a solution that had three-dimensional simulation capabilities to review numerous versions of the project prior to construction and a collaboration platform for project participants and contractors to share data seamlessly.
BLSA used our three-dimensional design capabilities to assist in designing and building Stadium Australia, including producing accurate drawings and models, automating engineering tasks and optimizing construction schedules. Using our three-dimensional models before construction began, BLSA was able to simulate the effects of light on the playing field and stands by creating a video with photo realistic animations containing time-lapse pieces for sunlight and shadow effects. In addition, our three-dimensional models simulated the phased seating reduction that was to follow the end of the Olympics. Our solutions allowed BLSA to explore multiple versions of the general stadium design, enabling collaboration and communication between various members of the design and construction teams. Construction of Stadium Australia began in September 1996, was completed three months ahead of schedule and successfully met budget guidelines.
Sales and Marketing
We market and sell our products, subscriptions and services globally, through a combination of a direct sales force and channel partners.
Our direct sales force and services organization is organized geographically into 11 territories. Five of these territories report to the Vice President of North America Operations and the remaining six report to the Senior Vice President of International Operations. In North America, in addition to our headquarters in Exton, Pennsylvania, we have 11 sales offices. Our international operations are headquartered in The Netherlands and we have 58 sales offices in 35 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia/Pacific and Latin and South America. In addition to our regionally-based sales force, we have supplemental industry-based teams of senior-level personnel who focus on opportunities in our targeted vertical industries.
We also utilize a network of independent channel partners that provide sales, service and support to their assigned accounts and are responsible for developing new opportunities. Among our channel partners
- 49 -
From 1987 through 1994, our products were distributed exclusively through Intergraph Corporation. In 1995 we began to develop a network of channel partners and a direct sales function to distribute our products other than through Intergraph and Intergraph continued distribution of our products on a non-exclusive basis. Over the past several years, we have increased our direct sales and support capabilities, focused on a reduced number of high quality channel partners and revised their compensation structure. In 2001 in North America, we further enhanced our direct relationship with our users by selling and delivering directly as opposed to indirectly through our channel partners. This change will be phased in globally during 2002. In February 2002, we announced our latest efforts to enhance our direct end user relationships by servicing certain of our largest accounts exclusively with our direct sales and support personnel while our channel partners focus on growing our business outside of these defined accounts. This change is aimed at properly deploying our limited sales and service resources toward the maximum number of opportunities. We plan to implement this new plan in 2003.
Our marketing programs, developed corporately and executed locally, are driven by our effort to learn continuously about our users and their needs to tailor our products to their specific industries and interests. We focus on existing accounts and the potential of those accounts to purchase additional Bentley solutions by communicating our corporate mission to retain and grow subscriptions revenues and by supporting the sales efforts of our direct sales force and channel partners. Our marketing efforts include industry-focused trade shows and Bentley sponsored seminars, general and industry relevant electronic newsletters, newsgroups and Web sites, the annual international user conference and local user group functions, editorial coverage and trade advertising. Our Bentley Education Network promotes curriculum development in academic courses relating to our products within colleges, universities and other educational institutions worldwide.
Research and Development
Since inception, we have devoted significant resources to develop our products and services. We believe our future success depends in large part on continuing innovation and rapid development. Our total research and development expenses were $40.5 million in 2001, $35.3 million in 2000 and $34.0 million in 1999. As of March 31, 2002, our research and development organization consisted of 333 employees. Our principal development center is in Exton, Pennsylvania, with other centers in Huntsville, Alabama, Miami, Florida, Turku, Finland and Quebec City, Canada. We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to our research and development activities.
Competition
The market for our software products and services has been and continues to be intensely competitive. We expect additional competition from established as well as emerging software companies. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope of the products and services they offer and include well-established companies that have larger installed user bases. We encounter competition from a number of sources, including:
| technology companies providing content creation, management and publishing in the vertical industries that we target, including transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. These include Autodesk, Intergraph (which is one of our principal stockholders), CadCentre (Aveva Group), Dassault Systemes, Eaglepoint, Nemetschek, Graphisoft, ESRI and Siemens, among others. | |
| vendors of factory planning solutions, including mechanical computer aided design, such as Dassault Systemes and Electronic Data Systems Corporation; |
- 50 -
| vendors of product lifecycle management solutions, such as Agile, MatrixOne and SAP; | |
| generalized content management, document management and publishing vendors, such as Documentum, FileNet and Open Text Corporation; | |
| horizontal collaborative, enterprise software vendors, such as Microsoft Corporation and Oracle; | |
| systems integrators, who may advocate for alternative approaches or competitive solutions; and | |
| in house information technology departments or local technology providers that may develop technology that provides some or all of the functionality of our products and services. |
Some of the products from vendors targeting the same vertical industries we target are built upon our design platform, MicroStation, such as applications offered by Intergraph. Intergraph also offers applications on its own platform technologies such as SmartPlant and GeoMedia. Other competing products are built upon other design platforms, such as AutoCAD and other proprietary platforms. To some degree, vertical application competition is derived from a design platform decision. Application vendors are typically very focused on serving their target industries and compete very aggressively.
We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include:
| new product and technology introductions; | |
| product features, functionality, performance and price; | |
| availability, completeness and integration of discipline-specific applications; | |
| collaborative capabilities among project participants; | |
| product enhancements; | |
| ease of integration and speed of implementation; | |
| knowledge of a customers industry; | |
| level of customer service and training; | |
| sales and marketing efforts; and | |
| company reputation. |
Although we believe our solutions currently compete favorably with respect to these factors, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources. Maintaining and growing our market share depends heavily upon our success in innovating, enhancing current products and developing or acquiring new products. Emerging technologies can disruptively change the competitive landscape and can permit new and strong competitors to emerge or allow existing competitors to strengthen their positions. Increased competition may impair our ability to maintain market share and may result in price reductions and reduced revenues and profit margins, any of which would harm our business.
Intellectual Property
Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We rely primarily on a combination of contract, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as other measures, including confidentiality agreements, to protect our proprietary information. Existing copyright laws afford only limited protection. We cannot guarantee that these protections will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which our software products are or may be licensed do not protect our software products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the
- 51 -
We integrate third-party software into certain of our products. In particular, we license the following software, which is incorporated into MicroStation:
| the Parasolids solids modeling library from Unigraphics Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which license expires in October 2005; and | |
| the OpenDWG toolkit from the OpenDWG Alliance, which is subject to a perpetual license. |
We may not be able to renew these or other third-party licenses or to develop or purchase alternative technology. Even if licenses for third-party software or licenses for alternative technology are available to us, they may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we cannot maintain or acquire licenses for important third-party software or develop or license similar technology on a timely or commercially reasonable basis, our business, financial condition and operating results will be seriously harmed.
We do not believe our software products, third-party software products we offer under sublicense agreements, our trademarks or our other proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, we cannot guarantee that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us with respect to current or future software products or that any such assertion may not require us to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.
Our license agreements with our users contain provisions designed to limit the exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in these license agreements may not be valid as a result of future federal, state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although we have not experienced any material product liability claims to date, the license and support of our software for use in mission critical applications creates the risk of a claim being successfully pursued against us. Damages or injunctive relief resulting under such a successful claim could seriously harm our business.
Employees
As of March 31, 2002, we had 1,145 full time employees, including 507 in sales and marketing, 333 in research and development, 214 in professional services and user support and 91 in administration. Our performance depends in significant part on our ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified personnel. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters and executive offices are in Exton, Pennsylvania, where we own two adjacent office buildings aggregating approximately 78,000 square feet. We also lease a European regional headquarters in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands. We believe our current facilities are adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time we become involved in litigation arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe the outcome of any pending legal proceeding of which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position.

(1) | These options vest annually over a four-year period beginning on November 27, 2002. |
(2) | Based on options to purchase 1,428,540 shares of our common stock granted during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. |
(3) | Potential realizable values are computed by: (i) multiplying the number of shares of common stock subject to a given option by the initial public offering price of $ , (ii) assuming that the aggregate stock value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5% and 10% rates shown in the table over the term of the options, and (iii) subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price. The potential realizable values do not take into account applicable tax expense payments that may be associated with such option exercises. The assumed 5% and 10% rates of stock price appreciation are provided in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of the future stock price. Actual realized value, if any, will be dependent on the future price of the common stock on the actual date of exercise, which may be earlier than the stated expiration date. |
Fiscal Year-End Option Values
None of the executive officers or non-executive employees named in the Summary Compensation Table exercised options during fiscal year 2001. The following table sets forth the number and value of shares underlying unexercised options held as of December 31, 2001.

Employment Agreements
Prior to this offering, we plan to enter into employment agreements with each of Greg, Keith, Barry and Raymond Bentley. The employment agreements will be effective upon the closing of this offering. Under the employment agreements, these employees will be entitled to annual base salaries and will participate in performance-based bonus arrangements based generally on the level of operating income achieved versus an annual target established by our board of directors.
Under their respective employment agreements, if the employment of either Greg, Keith, Barry or Raymond Bentley is terminated by us without cause or if they terminate for good reason, the terminated employee will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to two times (three times, if the termination follows a change in control of our company) their base salary and target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. In addition, we plan to adopt a supplemental executive retirement program for each of Greg, Keith, Barry and Raymond Bentley. Under this program, each of them will be eligible to receive an annual retirement benefit related to their age and an agreed percentage of their average base salary and bonus compensation under the agreements.
Each of Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley will also be granted, upon the completion of this offering, performance-accelerated stock options to purchase shares of our common stock. The per share exercise price for each share underlying the options will be equal to the per share initial public offering price for our shares under this offering. The options will become vested if the grantee is still employed by us five years after the grant date, subject to acceleration of vesting upon achievement of certain performance-based targets relating to our earnings growth. If Greg, Keith or Barry Bentley are terminated by us without cause or if they terminate for good reason, all of their performance-accelerated stock options will become 100% vested and exercisable, and the options will remain exercisable for one year after termination.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley participated in deliberations relating to executive compensation in 2001. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has an executive officer serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.
Benefit Plans
2002 Stock Option Plan for Employees
We intend to adopt the 2002 stock option plan for employees to attract and retain capable employees and to provide an inducement to such personnel, through share ownership in our company, to promote the best interest of the company. Under the 2002 stock option plan for employees, we will be authorized to issue incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of January 1 of each year, additional shares will be made available under the 2002 stock option plan for employees for non-qualified stock options only as necessary to keep the sum of (i) the number of shares that remain available for options under the 2002 stock option plan for employees plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding options in the aggregate under our 1995, 1997 and the 2002 stock option plans for employees at 15% of the outstanding common stock as of such January 1 of such year.
The 2002 stock option plan for employees will be administered by the compensation committee consisting of at least two non-employee directors appointed by our board of directors. The committee will have full authority, subject to the terms of the 2002 stock option plan for employees, to select optionees, to determine the terms and conditions of options, and generally to administer the plan. We intend for the options of non-executive-officer employees to be subject to time-based vesting.
We intend to issue performance accelerated stock options, or PASOs, which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, to certain of our executive officers once each year. We expect that the performance period of each PASO will be at least one year. We also expect that the term of the
- 58 -
Under the plan, options may be granted for terms of up to ten years at an exercise price per share determined by the committee, but which will not be less than their fair market value as of the grant date. Incentive stock options will be subject to additional limitations required to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, such as requirements that:
| the exercise price per share of an incentive stock option granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our voting stock cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of the optioned shares on the date of the grant and the term of the incentive stock option cannot be more than five years; | |
| the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time the option is granted, of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any optionee during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000; and | |
| an incentive stock option may not be assignable or transferable by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. |
2002 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
We intend to adopt the 2002 stock option plan for non-employee directors in order to align more closely the interests of our non-employee directors with our stockholders. Under the 2002 stock option plan for non-employee directors, we will be authorized to issue to our directors who are not our employees, non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock. The plan will provide for an automatic annual grant to each non-employee director of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock. The compensation committee will administer the 2002 stock option plan for non-employee directors. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 2002 stock option plan for non-employee directors will be at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, and the options generally will expire 10 years from the grant date unless extended in the committees discretion. Options granted under the plan generally will vest 20% on the date of grant and 20% each year for the next four years.
1997 Stock Option Plan
The 1997 stock option plan permits our board of directors to grant to our employees non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options for the purchase of our common stock. We have reserved 3,800,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1997 stock option plan, of which 3,393,816 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2002. No further options will be granted under the 1997 stock option plan after the closing of this offering but all options outstanding under the plan will remain in full force and effect. Options granted under the 1997 stock option plan vest over four years and generally terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
1995 Stock Option Plan
The 1995 stock option plan permits our board of directors to grant to our employees non-qualified stock options for the purchase of our common stock. We have reserved 1,075,080 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1995 stock option plan, of which 564,130 shares were issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2002. No further options will be granted under the 1995 stock option plan but all options outstanding under the plan will remain in full force and effect. Options granted under the 1995 stock option plan generally vest over four years and terminate on either January 31, 2004 or November 13, 2006.

Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan
We maintain a qualified profit sharing/401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all full-time employees in the United States with six months of service. Under the plan, eligible employees may elect to make salary deferral contributions of their annual compensation, subject to certain statutory limitations. We make matching contributions to the 401(k) portion of our plan and may make discretionary contributions to the profit sharing portion of our plan up to a maximum of 6% of qualified annual compensation for each eligible participating employee. Each employees right to the matching and discretionary contributions made to their profit sharing plan/401(k) account are subject to vesting. The vesting period, which commences upon the beginning of the employees service with us, is four years.
Discretionary contributions under the plan may be made in cash or stock, at the election of our board of directors. As of March 31, 2002, we had issued 355,626 shares of our Class B common stock to the trustee of the plan for the accounts of our U.S. employees.
We also maintain various retirement benefit plans for employees of our international subsidiaries, primarily defined contribution plans.
Executive Incentive Plan
The members of our Executive Committee identified above, other than Greg, Barry and Keith Bentley, are paid quarterly bonuses as a percentage of their cash compensation. The percentage is computed under a formula based generally on our achievement of our budgeted cash operating earnings as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Intergraph
At December 31, 2001, Intergraph Corporation, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: INGR) and a stockholder of our company since 1987, owned approximately 29% of our fully diluted common stock. Intergraph currently distributes our products on a non-exclusive basis. Revenues from Intergraph aggregated 4.4%, 2.3% and 2.4% of total revenues in 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
During 1999, we and Intergraph entered into a number of agreements to settle pending disputes. Under the settlement agreements, among other things, Intergraph paid us approximately $13.7 million, transferred to us 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock and agreed to terminate its use of our proprietary plotting libraries in all Intergraph products. In connection with one of the settlement agreements, we granted Intergraph registration rights that allow them to sell shares of our common stock in this offering.
On December 26, 2000, we purchased the civil engineering, plot-services and raster-conversion software product lines from Intergraph for an initial purchase price of approximately $24.6 million. At the closing, we paid approximately $13.5 million in cash and delivered a promissory note for approximately $11.1 million, which is payable in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 9.5%. The principal amount of the note was subject to adjustments based on transferred and renewal maintenance revenues related to the software product lines that we acquired from Intergraph. The principal amount of the note was adjusted upward as of June 1, 2001 to $13.2 million and again as of December 1, 2001 to $17.2 million. As adjusted, the total purchase price was $35.4 million. The principal balance of the note as of March 31, 2002 was approximately $15.2 million. The Bentley SELECT contracts and the revenues from those contracts, to the extent related to the acquired product lines, secure our payment of the note to Intergraph Corporation. We plan to repay this note with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering.
Transactions with Executive Officers
Between 1987 and 1994, we were owned 50% by Greg, Keith, Barry, Raymond and Richard Bentley, on the one hand, and 50% owned by Intergraph, on the other hand, and Intergraph had the exclusive worldwide right to distribute all our products. During that period, one-third of the royalties from Intergraph under the exclusive distribution agreement was paid as bonuses to Greg, Keith, Barry, Raymond and Richard Bentley. Upon settlement of an arbitration with Intergraph in 1999, in which we sought to recover due but unpaid royalties for the period between 1987 and 1994, bonuses based on the unpaid royalties received in the settlement, net of arbitration costs, were paid to the Bentleys and David Nation. In the aggregate, those bonuses consisted of $0.9 million in cash and deferred compensation arrangements under which an aggregate $5.1 million payment will be made six months after the completion of this offering. Interest on the deferred compensation is at the rate of 6% per annum and is paid annually.
On August 6, 1999, we sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock to Greg, Keith, Barry, Raymond and Richard Bentley and David Nation for an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million. In connection with this purchase, we loaned them an aggregate of $5.1 million. All of the these loans are evidenced by full recourse promissory notes and become due and payable six months after the closing of this offering. Interest on the notes at 6% per annum is paid annually. As of December 31, 2001, an aggregate principal amount of $5.1 million was outstanding under the notes.
On December 26, 2000, we entered into a $32 million Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association and Citibank N.A. As a condition to the agreement with the banks, each of Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley and their spouses executed agreements in favor of PNC Bank and Citibank to personally guarantee, and pledged personal assets to secure the guarantees, up to $7.5 million of our obligations under the revolving line of credit. In consideration for executing the guaranty agreements, we issued to the guarantors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 579,984 shares of
- 61 -
The exercise price for each of the warrants to purchase Class B common stock issued to Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley in connection with the bank guaranty agreements is equal to the initial public offering price per share of our common stock less a discount. The discount on the exercise price was initially 20% and increases by 10% per year on a straight line basis over a five-year period beginning on December 26, 2001, up to a maximum discount of 70%. As of March 31, 2002, the discount was 22.6%. These warrants will be automatically exercised, on a net issuance basis, immediately prior to the closing of this offering.
On December 26, 2000, we sold an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,040,000 shares of Class B common stock. This equity was required as a condition to the revolving credit and security agreement and the proceeds were used to fund our acquisition of product lines from Intergraph. In that transaction, Greg Bentley purchased 27,500 shares of our Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 381,333 shares of our Class B common stock for a purchase price of $2.75 million and each of Keith Bentley and Barry Bentley purchased 5,000 shares of our Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 69,333 shares of our Class B common stock for a purchase price of $0.5 million. The balance of the offering of 37,500 shares of Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase up to 520,000 shares of Class B common stock were purchased by third party investors for an aggregate purchase price of $3.75 million. The warrants expire on December 26, 2010. The Senior Class C common stock accrues quarterly dividends and we are obligated, subject to certain conditions under our revolving credit and security agreement, to pay 45 days following the end of the quarter, one-half of the quarterly dividend accrual and may pay the other half at the discretion of our board of directors.
On July 2, 2001, Malcolm Walter, our Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President and Head of Field Operations, purchased 1,000 shares of our Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase 13,867 shares of our Class B common stock for a purchase price of $0.1 million. At the same time, an additional 25,000 shares of Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase up to 346,667 shares of Class B common stock were purchased by a third party investment firm. The warrants expire on July 2, 2011.
The exercise price for each of the warrants to purchase Class B common stock issued to Greg, Keith and Barry Bentley and Malcolm Walter is equal to the initial public offering price per share of our common stock less a discount. For each warrant, the discount on the exercise price was initially 0% and increases by 10% per year on a straight line basis over a five-year period beginning on the first anniversary of its sale up to a maximum discount of 50%. As of March 31, 2002, the discount on the warrants sold on December 26, 2000 was 2.6% and the discount on the warrants sold on July 2, 2001 was 0%. These warrants will be automatically exercised, on a net issuance basis, immediately prior to the closing of this offering.
Other Transactions
On October 1, 2001, we entered into a Warehouse and Shipping Outsourcing Agreement with VideoRay, LLC. Under the agreement, we outsource to VideoRay the warehousing and shipping services that we previously had conducted in-house. The outsourcing was desirable because of our diminishing needs for our warehouse and related services as a result of changes in our product distribution methods, from physical kits to electronic delivery. VideoRay also assumed the operation of and all lease payments for our warehouse in Exton, Pennsylvania. We pay VideoRay a monthly fee of $23,700 for these services and VideoRay assumes certain costs of operating the facility, including rent, warehouse-related occupancy

Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, our Class A common stock will be redesignated as common stock and all of our other outstanding capital stock will be converted into our common stock.
The following summary description of our capital stock, certificate of incorporation and by-laws is not intended to be complete and assumes the filing immediately prior to the closing of this offering of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws substantially in the form to be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and by provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Common Stock
After giving effect to the issuance of shares of our common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and the reclassification and conversion of our capital stock, there will be shares of common stock outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. See Preferred Stock.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock. The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The election of directors is determined by a plurality of votes cast and, except as otherwise required by law, our certificate of incorporation or by-laws, all other matters are determined by a majority of the votes cast. The common stock has no preemptive rights and is not convertible, redeemable or assessable. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.

The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control over us.

Rights Plan. In addition, prior to the closing of this offering, we intend to adopt a stockholder rights agreement under which holders of common stock of record at the close of business on the date immediately preceding the closing of this offering will receive one right per share. Each right will entitle the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of our Series B junior participating preferred stock at a purchase price to be determined by our board prior to the closing of this offering. Each one one-thousandth of a share of Series B junior participating preferred stock will have economic and voting terms equivalent to one share of our common stock. Until it is exercised, the right itself will not entitle the holder thereof to any rights as a stockholder, including the right to receive dividends or to vote at stockholder meetings. Prior to the closing of this offering, we intend to authorize 100,000 shares of Series B junior participating preferred stock for issuance in connection with our stockholder rights agreement.
The stockholder rights agreement is designed to protect stockholders in the event of unsolicited offers to acquire us and other coercive takeover tactics which, in the opinion of our board of directors, could impair its ability to represent stockholder interests. The provisions of the stockholder rights agreement may render an unsolicited takeover more difficult or less likely to occur or may prevent such a takeover, even though such takeover may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market rate and may be favored by a majority of our stockholders.
The description and terms of the rights will be set forth in a rights agreement. Although the material provisions of the stockholder rights agreement have been accurately summarized, the statements below concerning the rights agreement are not complete and in each instance reference is made to the form of rights agreement itself, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Each statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference.
Stockholder rights are not exercisable until the distribution date and will expire at the close of business on the tenth anniversary following the date of the agreement, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by us. A distribution date would occur upon the earlier of the tenth business day:
| after the first public announcement by us or an acquiring person (as defined below) that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (referred to as an acquiring person) has beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock (the date of such announcement or communication is referred to as the stock acquisition date); | |
| or later if determined by our board, after the commencement or announcement of the intention to commence a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 15% of our outstanding common stock; or | |
| after a person becomes an adverse person, which is a person whose beneficial ownership of common stock exceeds an ownership limitation, set by the board after the board has determined that this person is accumulating stock for short-term personal gain or such ownership is or would likely cause a material adverse impact on our business or prospects. |
If any person becomes an acquiring person or is deemed an adverse person, each holder of a stockholder right will be entitled to exercise the right and receive, instead of Series B junior participating preferred stock, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, a reduction in purchase price, property or other securities of us) having a value equal to two times the purchase price of the stockholder right. All stockholder rights that are beneficially owned by an acquiring person, an adverse person or their transferee will become null and void.
If after the stock acquisition date or after our board has determined that a person is an adverse person, (1) we are acquired in a merger or other business combination or (2) 50% or more of our assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a stockholder right (except rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the purchase price of the right.
- 67 -
The purchase price payable, the number of one one-thousandth of a share of Series B junior participating preferred stock or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of rights and the number of rights outstanding, are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution or to avoid adverse tax consequences.
At any time until the earlier of (1) ten days following the stock acquisition time or such later time as the board may designate, or (2) the expiration of the stockholder rights agreement, we may redeem all the stockholder rights at a price of $0.001 per right. We may not redeem the rights in whole or in part while a person continues to retain the status of an adverse person. The stockholders rights agreement excludes all of the members of the Bentley family and their affiliates and associates from being an acquiring person or an adverse person. The stockholder rights agreement also exempts stockholders and their associates and affiliates who beneficially own 15% or more of the stockholder rights agreement voting stock on the record date for the rights until they first own less than 15% of the stock. Prior to this date, however, these exempted stockholders will be considered acquiring persons if they acquire any additional stockholder rights agreement voting stock then outstanding. At any time after a person has become an acquiring person and prior to the acquisition by such person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, we may exchange the stockholder rights, in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-thousandth of a share of Series B junior participating preferred stock (or of a share of a class or series of preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per right.
Warrants
Immediately prior to the closing of this offering there will be outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 3,523,474 shares of our Class B common stock. Of these warrants, we have outstanding warrants to purchase 2,535,184 shares of Class B common stock which will be automatically exercised upon the closing of this offering. These warrants have a net issuance mechanism which, if exercised on March 31, 2002, would result in a net issuance of 158,116 shares. Immediately following the closing of this offering, the remaining warrants to purchase 988,290 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.17 per share will remain outstanding. The warrants to be outstanding after the closing of this offering are held by PNC Bank, National Association and Citibank, N.A. If unexercised, these warrants will expire upon the earlier of the second anniversary of this offering or 90 days after we receive a notice of nonrenewal from PNC Bank and Citibank with respect to our revolving credit facility.
Exchangeable Shares of Preferred Stock of 9090-0960 Quebec Inc., a Canadian Subsidiary
On April 26, 2000, we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding stock of HMR Inc., a Quebec corporation that develops of high performance digital imaging software for the engineering market, through our indirect subsidiary 9090-0960 Quebec Inc. As part of that transaction, certain existing stockholders in HMR exchanged their shares for securities, known as exchangeable shares, of 9090-0960 Quebec. Holders of exchangeable shares are entitled to receive dividends equivalent to those provided to our Class B common stock, if any. Exchangeable shares are subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations, reclassifications and other similar changes in our Class B common stock. Holders of the exchangeable shares are not entitled to vote or attend meetings of the stockholders of 9090-0960 Quebec or our company.
Holders of exchangeable shares also are entitled to retraction rights in the exchangeable shares. The retraction rights permit holders to require 9090-0960 Quebec to redeem at any time on up to two occasions all or a portion of their exchangeable shares on a one-for-one basis for our Class B common stock, plus all declared but unpaid dividends, if any. The exchangeable shares shall be automatically redeemed by 9090-0960 Quebec on December 31, 2002, unless the date of redemption is extended or accelerated by its board of directors The date of the automatic redemption may only be accelerated if fewer than 15% of the original exchangeable shares remain outstanding or if there is a change in control of 9090-0960 Quebec. In addition, holders of exchangeable shares have a put right for use on up to two occasions to require 9090-0952 Quebec Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, to purchase all or a portion of

Registration Rights
After the completion of this offering, certain of our stockholders, who originally purchased shares of our Series A preferred stock, Senior Class C common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class B common stock, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of shares of common stock under the Securities Act. Beginning 180 days after this offering, holders of these rights may require us on two occasions, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to file a registration statement under the Securities Act at our expense with respect to their shares of common stock. The rights to require registration terminate on the fourth anniversary of the closing of this offering. We are required to use our best efforts to effect such a registration, subject to conditions and limitations. In addition, holders of registrable securities are entitled to notice and to the inclusion of their shares of common stock, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act at any time subsequent to this offering, either for our own account or for the account of other stockholders exercising registration rights. These rights are subject to the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in that registration under certain circumstances.
Upon the closing of our acquisition of the remainder of Rebis and the closing of this offering, stockholders of Rebis will be entitled to registration rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of shares of common stock received as part of their consideration. These holders are entitled to notice and inclusion of their shares of common stock if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act either for our own account or for the account of other stockholders exercising their registration rights. These rights are subject to the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in that registration under certain circumstances.
The description of the registration rights to be held by certain of our stockholders after this offering is not complete and is qualified by our amended and restated information and registration rights agreement and by a form registration rights agreement filed as an exhibit to the Purchase and Option Agreement among our company, Rebis and the stockholders of Rebis, each of which is attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Limitation on Liability
Our certificate of incorporation limits or eliminates the liability of our directors or officers to us or our stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the DGCL). The DGCL provides that our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
| for any breach of such persons duty of loyalty; | |
| for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| for the payment of unlawful dividends and some other actions prohibited by Delaware corporate law; and | |
| for any transaction resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. |
Our certificate of incorporation also entitles our directors to the benefits of all limitations on the liability of directors generally that now or hereafter become available under the DGCL. The certificate of

We maintain directors and officers liability insurance that provides our directors and officers with insurance coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, error and other wrongful acts.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws that we intend to adopt prior to this offering contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult:
| acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; | |
| acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or | |
| removal of our incumbent officers and directors. |
These provisions, summarized below, are intended to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. These provisions also serve to discourage hostile takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. We believe that these provisions are beneficial because the negotiation they encourage could result in improved terms of any unsolicited proposal.
Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock, which allows the board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any unsolicited attempt to change control of our company. This ability may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.
Stockholder Meetings. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our President, our Chief Executive Officer or by a resolution adopted by a majority of the members of our board of directors.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our by-laws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors.
Election and Removal of Directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class will serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders. Once elected, directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of our outstanding common stock. For more information on the classified board, see Management Board of Directors. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibits persons deemed interested stockholders from engaging in a business combination with a Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless:
| the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date that the interested stockholder attained such status; | |
| upon completion of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are officers and directors and certain employee stock plans; or |
- 70 -
| on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporations voting stock. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to fall and could affect our ability to raise equity capital on terms favorable to us.
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase common stock. Of these shares, the shares of common stock being sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (Rule 144), may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 described below.
The remaining shares were issued and sold by us in private transactions, are restricted securities and may be sold in the public market only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. Subject to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, additional shares will be available for sale in the public market, subject in the case of shares held by affiliates to compliance with certain volume restrictions, as follows:
Date of Availability for Sale | Number of Shares | |||

Subject to compliance with certain volume restrictions, if all outstanding warrants were fully exercised, shares would be available for sale immediately following this offering.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that is not more than the greater of:
| 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; or | |
| the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks before such sale, subject to the filing of a Form 144 with respect to such sale. |
Sales under Rule 144 generally are also subject to manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who has not been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months before a sale and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares for at least two years, is entitled to sell the shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, any of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us prior to the date of this prospectus under a stock
- 72 -
We have agreed with the underwriters that during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus we will not file a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act to register shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of stock options granted by us. We intend to file the Form S-8 registration statement upon the expiration of the lock-up period. The Form S-8 registration statement will become effective immediately upon filing and shares covered by that registration statement will thereupon be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates.
Prior to this offering there has been no public market for our common stock and no predictions can be made regarding the effect, if any, that market sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price.
All of our directors (other than Jay Seid), executive officers and warrant holders and substantially all holders of our outstanding common stock (other than Bachow Investment Partners III, L.P.), which hold in the aggregate shares of our common stock have agreed that they will not, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or warrants to acquire shares of common stock during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. See Underwriting.
After the closing of this offering, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act. See Description of Capital Stock Registration Rights. Registration of such shares under the Securities Act would result in such shares, except for shares purchased by affiliates, becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration.

The underwriters may allow and the selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per share to brokers and dealers.

Over-Allotment Option
We have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of shares of common stock, exercisable to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions shown on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise this option at any time until 30 days after the date of the underwriting agreement. To the extent the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be committed, so long as the conditions of the underwriting agreement are satisfied, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriters initial commitment as indicated in the preceding table.
Lock-Up Agreements
We and the selling stockholder have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., neither we nor the selling stockholder will, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or dispose of any common stock or any securities that may be converted into or exchanged for any common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. All of our executive officers, directors (other than Jay Seid), warrant holders and substantially all holders of our outstanding common stock (other than Bachow Investment Partners III, L.P.), which hold in the aggregate shares of our common stock, have agreed under lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities which may be converted into or exchanged or exercised for any common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus.
Offering Price Determination
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price has been negotiated between the representatives and us. In determining the initial public offering price of our common stock, the representatives considered:
| prevailing market conditions; | |
| our historical performance and capital structure; | |
| estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects; | |
| an overall assessment of our management; and | |
| the consideration of these factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses. |
Indemnification
We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities relating to the offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.
Stabilization, Short Positions And Penalty Bids
The representatives may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate short covering transactions, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:
| Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number |
- 75 -
of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or purchasing shares in the open market. |
| Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum. | |
| Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. | |
| Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Listing
We plan to file an application for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BSS. In connection with that listing, the underwriters have undertaken to sell the minimum number of shares to the minimum number of beneficial owners necessary to meet the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.
Stamp Taxes
Purchasers of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition of the offering price listed on the cover of this prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Bentley Systems, Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bentley Systems, Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible securities and stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bentley Systems, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Operations and summary of significant accounting policies
Operations
Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Bentley or the Company) is a global provider of collaborative software solutions that enable the Companys users to create, manage and publish architectural, engineering and construction content. Bentleys software solutions are used to design, engineer, build and operate large constructed assets such as roadways, bridges, buildings, industrial and power plants and utility networks. The Company focuses on five vertical industries that deploy such assets: transportation, manufacturing plants, building, utilities and government. In addition, the Company provides professional services for its software solutions, including implementation, integration, customization and training.
Unaudited pro forma stockholders equity
In connection with the proposed initial public offering of the Companys Common Stock (the Offering), all of the outstanding shares of the Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock), Senior Redeemable Convertible Class C Common Stock (Class C Common Stock) and Redeemable Convertible Class D Common Stock (Class D Common Stock) will convert into common stock upon the closing of the Offering. In addition, the Class A Common Stock will be redesignated as Common Stock upon the closing of the Offering. The unaudited pro forma stockholders equity at December 31, 2001 reflects the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock into 1,552,450, , and 480,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock. Additionally, the Company has 2,535,184 redeemable warrants consisting of 1,955,200 warrants issued in connection with the sale of Class C Common Stock (Class C Stockholder Warrants) and 579,984 warrants issued to certain stockholders and directors of the Company for their guaranty of a portion of the revolving credit facility (Senior Guarantor Warrants) (see Note 13). These warrants will automatically be exercised on a net issuance basis upon the closing of the Offering. The unaudited pro forma stockholders equity as of December 31, 2001 reflects the conversion of the redeemable common stock warrants into common stock and additional paid-in capital.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Companys principal subsidiaries are Bentley Systems Europe BV, Bentley Systems Pty. Ltd. (Australia), Bentley Systems Co., Ltd. (Japan), Bentley Systems Germany GmbH (Germany) and Bentley Systems (UK) Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. See Note 3 for investments in unconsolidated entities.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Supplemental cash flow information
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company paid income taxes of $1,047, $2,100 and $1,349, respectively, and interest of $2,245, $2,316 and $2,535, respectively. During 2001, the Company received a federal tax refund of $615.
Accretion of dividends and redemption value related to Preferred Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock was $2,396, $2,396 and $7,014 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000
F-8
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
and 2001, respectively (see Notes 11 and 12). In addition, Class C Common Stock accrued $798 of cash dividends as of December 31, 2001 (see Notes 7 and 11).
In 2001, the Company issued warrants valued at $749 to certain of the Companys stockholders in consideration for their personal guarantees of a portion of the Companys indebtedness under its bank credit facility (see Note 6). The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense relating to modifications made to extend the contractual life of certain employee stock options in the amount of $1,032 and $674 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2001, respectively (see Note 14). Additionally, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense relating to options issued below fair market value in the amount of $17 in the year ended December 31, 2001. In 2000, the Company issued warrants valued at $704 as fees associated with the bank credit facility (see Notes 6 and 13). In 2000, the Company issued shares valued at $388 as a contribution to the profit sharing plan (see Note 10).
The following table displays the noncash assets that were acquired during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, as a result of the acquisitions described in Note 2. There were no business acquisitions in 1999.

Revenue recognition
The Companys subscriptions consist of annual recurring fees that its users pay for Bentley SELECT. Coverage under Bentley SELECT includes the right to use the Companys products on a concurrent license basis and access to maintenance and technical support, product updates, upgrades and enhancements. Subscriptions revenues include Bentley SELECT coverage for separately sold perpetual licenses. Subscriptions revenues also include annual and monthly term licenses sold under the Bentley SELECT subscription program. The Company began offering term licenses with the introduction of its Geopak software product lines in 1996. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company expanded its subscription program to include annual and monthly term licenses for additional Bentley software solutions and a comprehensive enterprise subscription program for its largest users. Subscriptions revenues are recognized ratably over the duration of the contract. The duration of the initial Bentley SELECT subscription contract is typically two years and licenses for monthly or annual terms are also offered. These
F-9
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
contracts automatically renew for successive terms, unless terminated. These licenses are included in subscriptions revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Billings in advance of providing these services are recorded as deferred subscriptions revenues.
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in compliance with all applicable accounting regulations, including American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. Revenues from perpetual licenses for software are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and all significant obligations have been fulfilled by the Company. In 2000, software licenses were distributed principally through channel partners and license revenues were recognized upon shipment, unless collectibility was not reasonably assured. The Company estimates the amount of product returns and exchanges and records this reserve as a reduction in perpetual licenses upon shipment of the product. Revenues from perpetual licenses include shipping and handling charges.
In 2001 the Company initiated a strategy to change its distribution model for perpetual licenses. Under the prior model, perpetual licenses were sold to channel partners for resale to users. Under the new model, the Company sells and delivers perpetual licenses directly to its users and the channel partner assigned to the account earns a commission. The new distribution model took effect in North America in November 2001 and will be phased in globally during 2002. Under the new model, the recognized revenues from the sale of each perpetual license are expected to be higher, reflecting the end-user markup. Cost of revenues will also increase by an approximately equal amount reflecting the commission paid to channel partners. The Company anticipates that this change will not materially affect gross profit, but the Companys gross margin percentage from perpetual licenses will decline.
For arrangements containing multiple elements, such as perpetual license fees, support/maintenance and consulting services and where vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements in accordance with the residual method prescribed by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions.
Revenues from implementation, integration, customization and training are recognized as services are performed as they are principally contracted for on a time and materials basis. For complex integration services, where the services are essential to the functionality of the software, the Company follows the percentage-of-completion method as defined in SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Any anticipated losses on such contacts or programs are charged to operations when identified.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lives of the related leases.
Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company follows the provisions of SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for computer software developed or obtained for internal use including the requirement to capitalize specified
F-10
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
costs and the amortization of such costs. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets arise from acquisitions and principally consist of goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships, and acquired technology. Intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years. The recoverability of the carrying values of intangible assets is evaluated on a recurring basis based upon estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to its net realizable value. As of December 31, 2001, no such write-down was required.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The effect of SFAS No. 142, as described more fully under Recent Accounting Pronouncements below, will have a material impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Cost of revenues
Cost of subscriptions revenues includes internal salaries and related costs associated with servicing Bentley SELECT subscribers, as well as channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage and support to Bentley SELECT subscribers. Cost of perpetual licenses includes channel partner compensation, royalties to certain technology providers, amortization of software translation costs, user manuals, the costs of diskettes and packaging materials and shipping and handling costs. Cost of services includes salaries for internal and third party personnel and related overhead costs for providing implementation, integration customization and training services to users.
Research and development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software development engineers, third party development fees, costs of computer equipment used in software development and facilities costs.
SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires the capitalization of costs incurred upon achieving technological feasibility until such product is ready for sale. Costs related to research, design and development of computer software are expensed as incurred. The Company determines technological feasibility to occur when beta testing with existing clients begins. With the exception of producing foreign language translation versions, the time period between the establishment of technological feasibility and the completion of software development is short, and accordingly, no significant development costs had been incurred or capitalized during that period. Amortization of costs relating to translated versions is computed using the straight-line method over the economic life of the product, which is two years. As of December 31, 2000 and 2001, the net book values of capitalized software translation costs were $1,300 and $800, respectively, and were included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses of approximately $2,575, $2,970, and $2,333 were included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.
F-11
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company does not accrue federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries since such undistributed earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested and, if remitted, would not have a material impact on the Companys overall income tax provision due to estimated available foreign tax credits.
Foreign currency translation
Exchange adjustments resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Exchange adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are reflected as a separate component of stockholders equity. The net foreign currency transaction gains for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 were $855 and $577, respectively. The net foreign currency transaction loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $305. These amounts are included in other income, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (see Note 18).
Net income (loss) per share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, dual presentation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is required on the face of the statements of operations for companies with complex capital structures. Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the shares used to calculate diluted net income per share included 194,959 options to purchase common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as no additional shares for the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock are included in the denominator as the result is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents of 1,552,450, 1,840,679 and 4,252,368 shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the deemed and cash dividends were not excluded from the numerator in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net income per share has been calculated using the net income (loss) before dividends on Preferred Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock and assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock into shares of common stock, as if the shares had converted immediately upon their issuance.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents and receivables.
F-12
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. Generally, the Company requires no collateral from its customers. The Companys accounts receivable are derived from perpetual licenses and subscriptions to a large number of channel partners and end users throughout the world. See Revenue Recognition. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.
The Companys cash and cash equivalents are with financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality.
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities and deferred subscriptions revenues are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Companys debt obligations approximate their fair values as of each of the balance sheet dates.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys critical estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, adequacy of allowance for bad debts and returns, impairment of long-lived assets and accounting for income taxes.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has elected to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans following Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations rather than the alternative fair value accounting provided under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (see Note 13).
Other comprehensive income (loss)
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income established rules for the reporting of comprehensive income (loss) and its components. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of redeemable convertible securities and stockholders equity.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current years presentation.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS
F-13
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
No. 133, issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 beginning on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also changes the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001. The Company has historically used the purchase method to account for all of its business combinations and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed annually for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds their fair values. SFAS No. 142 applies to goodwill and certain intangibles assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, and will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 had no impact on our financial statements. However, in the future, SFAS No. 142 will have the impact of reducing non-cash amortization expense of goodwill and will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. The required impairment tests of goodwill may result in future period write-downs. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, amortization of goodwill was $430, $492 and $3,109, respectively.
The following table presents the impact of SFAS No. 142 relating to goodwill amortization and related tax affects on operating income (loss) and net income (loss), as if they had been in effect for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001:

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Under SFAS No. 143, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the liability. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 will be effective on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, it removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
2. Acquisitions
HMR Inc.
In 1997, the Company purchased 25% of HMR Inc. (HMR), and acquired worldwide distribution rights for HMRs products. HMR is a Quebec corporation that develops high performance digital imaging software for the engineering markets. On May 31, 2000, the Company acquired all of the remaining stock of HMR in exchange for 40,274 shares of the Companys Class B nonvoting common stock (Class B Common Stock), 221,318 Exchangeable Shares of a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary exchangeable into the Companys Class B Common Stock on a share for share basis and options granted to employees. The total purchase price was valued at $1,904 based upon an independent valuation. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of HMR have been included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired, which was $1,605, has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 15 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 was $62 and $107, respectively.
Product lines from Intergraph Corporation
On December 26, 2000, the Company purchased the civil engineering, plot-services and raster-conversion software product lines from Intergraph Corporation (Intergraph) for an initial purchase price of
F-15
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
$25,268, including acquisition costs. At the closing, the Company paid $13,463 in cash and delivered a secured note for $11,087, payable in equal installments over three years. In 2001, an increase, attributable to the earn-out based upon the renewal maintenance revenues for the acquired product lines, was made to the principal balance of the note in the amount of $10,036. The operating results attributable to the acquisition of these assets have been included in the Companys consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
The total purchase price of the product lines acquired from Intergraph Corporation is as follows:

Upon the consummation of the Offering, the Class D Common Stock will convert into 480,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
12. Preferred stock
The Company has 1,552,450 shares of Preferred Stock authorized.
On September 18, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and issued 1,552,450 shares of its Preferred Stock plus 2,171,028 shares of Class B Common Stock held in escrow, for $15,000. Upon issuance, a fair value of $13,800 and $1,100 was assigned to the Preferred Stock and Class B Common Stock held in escrow, respectively, net of costs. The Preferred Stock may be converted into 1,552,450 shares of Class B Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time and will be automatically converted into common stock upon the completion of an initial public offering of the Companys Common Stock, as defined.
The Preferred Stock accrues annual dividends at a rate of $1.9522 per share, which compounds annually at the rate of 20.201% (Accrued Dividends). Accrued Dividends and the accretion of redemption value during 1999, 2000 and 2001 were $2,396, $2,396 and $5,455, respectively, and are payable only if

and when declared by the Companys Board of Directors and must be paid prior to any dividends on the Companys common stock and in connection with a redemption of the Preferred Stock. At any time after March 18, 2003, the holders of outstanding Preferred Stock will have the right and option to require the Company (subject to restrictions imposed by law) to redeem the Preferred Stock for $9.6621 per share plus Accrued Dividends not previously paid (the Redemption Amount). At any time after March 18, 2005, the Company will have the right and option to redeem all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock for the Redemption Amount. In the event of liquidation or sale of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock will receive, at their discretion, a preferred payment equal to the Redemption Amount or an amount equal to that which would be payable to the holder if the holders shares of Preferred Stock were converted to common stock prior to the liquidation or sale.
In connection with certain charter amendments since 1998, the dividend rate has been increased retroactively to the original issuance date. The Company has increased the carrying value of the Preferred Stock by the accrued dividends and accretion of the value assigned to the Class B Common Stock.
So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to elect one member of the Companys Board of Directors, whose consent may be required for certain actions outside of the ordinary course of business.
In the event that the Company completes an initial public offering of its common stock, and the proceeds of such offering are less than $30,000, holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right, on or after September 18, 2002, to require the Company to purchase all of their shares into which the Preferred Stock was converted for $25,300; provided, however, that this right shall terminate if prior to the exercise thereof the Company achieves a market capitalization in excess of $300,000.
In connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company issued 2,171,028 shares of its Class B Common Stock to be held in escrow and distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock and/or certain of the Companys other stockholders who were stockholders on September 18, 1998 over a four year period based on the Companys market value during the period in relation to certain agreed upon targets.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GEOPAK Corporation as of December 31, 2000 and August 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

GEOPAK CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Operations and summary of significant accounting policies
Background
GEOPAK Corporation (the Company) develops civil engineering software based upon the Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Bentley) MicroStation product. On December 18, 1996 Bentley purchased 25% of the common stock of the Company and acquired worldwide distribution rights for the Companys products (see Note 2). On September 18, 2001, Bentley acquired the remaining common stock of the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Supplemental cash flow information
During the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, the Company paid income taxes of $428 and $303, respectively, and interest of $6 and $0, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The principal sources of the Companys revenues are software license fees, software maintenance and support fees, royalty fees and training and consulting fees. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the AICPA. Revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is considered probable.
License fee revenues relate primarily to term license subscriptions to the Companys software products, including maintenance and support, and are recognized ratably over the terms of the related agreements, which are usually a period of one year.
License fee revenues from sales of perpetual licenses are generally recognized upon delivery, based upon the residual method after all elements, other than maintenance and support, have either been delivered or vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair values exist for such undelivered elements. License fee revenues from sales of perpetual licenses were $67 and $64 for year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, respectively.
Revenues from software maintenance and support contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is usually a period of one year. VSOE of fair value of software support is determined based on the price charged when the maintenance and support element are sold separately.
Royalty fee revenues relate to royalties received by the Company from sales of the Companys software licenses and maintenance and support by Bentley (see Note 2). The Company recognizes royalties related to subscriptions over the related subscription period, royalties from sales of perpetual licenses generally upon delivery and royalties from sales of maintenance and support ratably over the related support period.
F-39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Revenues from training and consulting services are recognized as services are performed, based on VSOE of fair value, which is determined by reference to the price the customer would be required to pay when the services are sold separately.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue includes advance billings and payments for license subscriptions, maintenance and support services and consulting services that have not yet been delivered or performed.
Deferred royalty revenue from Bentley
Deferred royalty revenues from Bentley includes advance billings and payments for royalties from Bentley on license subscriptions and maintenance and support services that have not yet been delivered or performed.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lives of the related leases.
Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.
Research and development
Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is generally achieved upon the completion of a working model. Since software development costs have not been significant after the completion of a working model, all such costs have been charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses of approximately $274 and $225 were included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
F-40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Net income per share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, dual presentation of basic and diluted net income per share is required on the face of the statements of operations for companies with complex capital structures. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options.
For the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, the shares used to calculate diluted net income per share include options to purchase 6,283 shares of common stock.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are with financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality.
For the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, Bentley accounted for approximately 37% and 36%, respectively, of the Companys total revenues and as of December 31, 2000 and August 31, 2001 represented approximately 61% and 52%, respectively, of the Companys total accounts receivable. One other customer accounted for approximately 14% of the Companys total revenues for the eight months ended August 31, 2001.
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals and other current liabilities are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the Companys employee stock option equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
F-41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133, issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 beginning on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The Company does not utilize derivatives.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations. The adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill and certain other intangibles will not be amortized. Instead, these intangibles will be reviewed annually for impairment and any resulting write-down will be charged to results of operations in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is less than its fair value. SFAS No. 142 applies to goodwill and certain intangibles assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations that applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Under this pronouncement, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the liability. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required to be adopted on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets that addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of, it removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 144 will materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
2. Transactions with related parties
Bentley
On December 18, 1996, Bentley purchased 25% of the common stock of the Company and obtained an option to purchase the remaining common stock of the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, the Company recorded rental expense to BHA of $114 and $82, respectively.
On December 18, 1996, the Company and BHA entered into a Service Agreement whereby BHA performs certain technical support obligations of the Company for end users of the software pursuant to license agreements, lease agreements and technical support agreements for the software, and certain other first-line technical support services. For the year ended December 31, 2000 and the eight months ended August 31, 2001, the Company recorded expense of $2,128 and $1,197, respectively, under the Service Agreement which is included within cost of revenues in the accompanying statement of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Rebis:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rebis (a California corporation) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible stock and shareholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rebis and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

REBIS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Operations and summary of significant accounting policies: |
Background
Rebis (the Company) is a leading developer of discipline-specific applications for the manufacturing plants industry. On January 25, 2002 Bentley Systems Incorporated (Bentley) purchased 12.5% of the common stock of the Company and acquired an option to purchase the remainder of the Company.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible stock and shareholders equity (deficit) for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Supplemental cash flow information
During the years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company paid income taxes of $390, $687, $114 and $44, respectively, and interest of $136, $22, $9 and $2, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The principal sources of the Companys revenues are software license fees, software maintenance and support fees and professional service fees. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the AICPA. License fee revenues relate primarily to perpetual licenses to end-users and are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is considered probable. Software arrangements with customers often include multiple elements, including software products, maintenance and/or other services. The Company recognizes software license fees based upon the residual
F-53
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
method after all elements other than maintenance and support have either been delivered or vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for such undelivered elements.
Revenues from software maintenance and support contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is usually a period of one year. VSOE of fair value of software maintenance and support is determined based on the price charged for the maintenance and support element when sold separately.
Revenues from training and consulting services are recognized as services are performed, based on VSOE, which is determined by reference to the price the customer will be required to pay when the services are sold separately.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets which is three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lives of the related leases.
Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.
Research and development
Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is generally achieved upon the completion of a working model. Since software development costs have not been significant after the completion of a working model, all such costs have been charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses of approximately $105, $152, $33 and $18 were included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Foreign currency translation
Exchange adjustments resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in income. Exchange adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are reflected as a separate component of shareholders equity (deficit). Foreign currency
F-54
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
transaction gains and losses for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 were not material.
Net income per share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, dual presentation of basic and diluted net income per share is required on the face of the statements of operations for companies with complex capital structures. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are with financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality.
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities and deferred subscription revenues are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has elected to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans following Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals or exceeds the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Other comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income established rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Other comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible stock and shareholders equity (deficit).
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133, issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 beginning on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The Company does not utilize derivatives.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of
F-56
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
accounting for business combinations. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill and certain other intangibles will not be amortized. Instead, these intangibles will be reviewed annually for impairment and any resulting write-down will be charged to results of operations in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds their fair values. SFAS No. 142 applies to goodwill and certain intangibles assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, and will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, that applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Under this pronouncement, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the liability. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required to be adopted on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, that addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of, it removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.

The Companys articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Companys Board of Directors has the power to issue these shares in one or more series and to secure the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of ownership. On September 30, 1999, the Company issued 708,230 shares of redeemable convertible Series A preferred stock (Series A Preferred Stock) with a stated value of $2.824 per share for an aggregate price of $2,000. The holders of
F-57
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Series A Preferred Stock have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such holders shares could be converted. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment. In the event of a qualified initial public offering, as defined, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be automatically converted into common stock.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% per share, subject to adjustment. Such dividends accrue from the date of issuance whether or not earned and are payable in cash quarterly when, and as declared, by the Board of Directors.
During the year ended September 30, 2001 these shares were redeemed for $2,000. The Series A Preferred Stock was carried at its current redemption value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of shareholders equity (deficit), since the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock is outside the control of the Company.
4. Stock options
The 1994 Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options for the purchase of common stock to key employees, the option price per share may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted, the options generally vest over four years and the maximum term of an option may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. In August 1998, the Companys Board of Directors and shareholders approved an amendment to the 1994 Plan to reserve an additional 1,100,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of qualified or nonqualified stock options. At September 30, 2001, there are 2,000,000 options authorized under this plan. As of September 30, 2000 and 2001, 954,171 and 922,521 options were outstanding under this plan, respectively.

The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during 2000 and 2001 was estimated as $0.96 and $1.20, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: volatility 70%; dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate of 6.4% and 4.6% on the date of the grant; expected life of options seven years.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation, currently states that a director of the registrant shall have no personal liability to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent that Section 102(b)(7) (or any successor provision) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, expressly provides that the liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited. No amendment or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the registrant for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
The registrants amended and restated by-laws require the registrant to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving while a director or officer of the registrant at its request as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permissible under Delaware law. Any person claiming indemnification as provided in the by-laws shall be entitled to advances from the registrant for payment of the expenses of defending actions against such person in the manner and to the full extent permissible under Delaware law. On the request of any person requesting indemnification under such provisions, the board of directors of the registrant or a committee thereof shall determine whether such indemnification is permissible or such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel if the board or committee so directs or if the board or committee is not empowered by statute to make such determination.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the by-laws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any insurance or other agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in their official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding
II-1
The duties of the registrant to indemnify and to advance expenses to a director or officer provided in the by-laws shall be in the nature of a contract between the registrant and each such director or officer and no amendment or repeal of any such provision of the by-laws shall alter, to the detriment of such director or officer, the right of such person to the advancement of expenses or indemnification related to a claim based on an act or failure to act which took place prior to such amendment, repeal or termination.
Delaware law also permits indemnification in connection with a proceeding brought by or in the right of the registrant to procure a judgment in its favor. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. The registrant has directors and officers liability insurance.
The underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement contains provisions indemnifying our officers and directors, against liabilities arising, under the Securities Act, or otherwise.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts and commissions, or any public offering. The recipients in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in those transactions.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) It will provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Physical delivery of the Acquired Assets to Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable, generally will be made at the current location of each Acquired Asset or as otherwise provided in the General Bill of Sale. At the Closing, the Selling Entities, Bentley and BSI Netherlands shall execute and deliver a General Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the "General Bill of Sale"), with respect to the transfer and conveyance of the applicable Acquired Assets pursuant thereto and the assumption of any related Assumed Liabilities.

The parties shall use the Statement of Net Revenues as the basis for -12-
calculating the cash portion of the consideration for the Acquired Assets. The costs incurred in the preparation and delivery of the Statement of Net Revenues shall be shared equally by Bentley and Intergraph. (c) The consideration for the Acquired Assets shall be payable by Bentley and BSI Netherlands to Intergraph for itself and on behalf of the other Selling Entities, as follows (the "Consideration"): (i) At the Closing, Bentley will pay, by wire transfer, an aggregate amount equal to the license revenues attributable to the Civil, Raster and Plotting products for 1999 as reflected in the Statement of Net Revenues, net of the set-offs or adjustment, if any, provided for in sections 2.2(d) and (e) below, such amount to be allocated among the Acquired Assets and to the Selling Entities as indicated on Schedule 2.6; (ii) At the Closing, Bentley will issue a secured promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Note"), the principal amount of which shall equal the Preliminary Note Amount (subject to adjustment as provided below). The Note will be secured pursuant to a Security Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the "Security Agreement). On the three-month anniversary of the MCO Date, the principal balance of the Note shall be adjusted up or down, effective as of the date of the Note, from the Preliminary Note Amount to an amount equal to 1.5 times the adjusted Transferred Maintenance Revenues. If the Selling Entities deliver the Second Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance pursuant to Section 7.1, then on the six-month anniversary of the MCO Date, the principal balance of the Note shall be adjusted up or down, effective as of the date of the Note, from the Preliminary Note Amount (after giving effect to the adjustment referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and to all payments made prior to such adjustment) to an amount equal to 1.5 times the adjusted Transferred Maintenance Revenues. On the 14-month anniversary of the MCO Date, the principal balance of the Note shall be increased, as of the first anniversary of the MCO Date, by an amount equal to (x) 1.5 times the Renewed Maintenance Revenues, plus (without duplication) (y) 1.5 times the revenues attributable to the renewed CAD II Maintenance Agreements (i.e. those agreements with Intergraph) for the 12 month period following the MCO Date, and the remaining payments under the Note will be accordingly adjusted to amortize the balance of the Note in equal quarterly payments for the remaining term thereof. The calculation of the Note based on that portion of Transferred Maintenance Revenues and Renewed Maintenance Revenues paid in foreign currencies shall be in accordance with Section 7.4. (d) The following items may be set off by Bentley at the Closing against the cash portion of the Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) above: (i) the amount of the liabilities assumed by Bentley in respect of accrued vacation and other paid time off of Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date; (ii) $219,600 in consideration of Bentley's obligation to recognize service time of non-U.S. Transferred Employees pursuant to Section 6.3; (iii) the amount of deferred revenues, if any, collected by the Selling Entities and relating to periods after the Closing on account of licenses of the Civil, Raster and/or Plotting products, all -13-
of which are set forth on Schedule 2.2(d); (iv) the amount of deferred revenues, if any, collected by the Selling Entities and relating to periods after the first anniversary of the MCO Date on account of Maintenance Agreements, all of which are set forth on Schedule 2.2(d); and (v) the amount of prepayments received by the Selling Entities in respect of customer orders received but not fulfilled by the Selling Entities for any of the Civil, Raster or Plotting products on or prior to Closing. (e) If at any time within 18 months following the Closing, Bentley claims that the Statement of Net Revenues contains any mistakes or errors, it shall notify Intergraph of such mistakes or errors and the parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any such discrepancies. If after such good faith efforts the parties are unable or unwilling to resolve said discrepancies, Bentley may, at its expense, engage a reputable public accounting firm to initiate and perform an audit of the Statement of Net Revenues in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Intergraph shall, and shall cause its auditors to, cooperate fully with such audit. Upon completion of such audit, Bentley shall deliver to Intergraph the Statement of Net Revenues, with such adjustments thereto as Bentley's auditors shall deem necessary to correct any mistakes or errors found as a result of the conduct of its audit. If such adjustments result in a downward adjustment to the Consideration equal to 5% or more of the Consideration based on 1999 license revenues, then Intergraph on behalf of itself and the other Selling Entities, shall pay the amount of such adjustment plus costs of the audit to Bentley or BSI Netherlands, respectively. If such adjustments result in an upward adjustment to the Consideration equal to 5% or more of the Consideration based on 1999 license revenues, then Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable, shall pay such amount to Intergraph on behalf of itself and the other Selling Entities, and Bentley shall pay the cost of its auditors. If the adjustments resulting from the audit do not result in either a downward or upward adjustment to the Consideration equal to at least 5% of the Consideration, then no payments are due to any party under this Section 2.2(e) and Bentley shall pay the cost of its auditors. Payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(e), if any, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the party receiving such payment within ten (10) business days following Bentley's delivery of the proposed adjustments to Intergraph, together with interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum. If the parties cannot agree after 30 days on the correct amount of the 1999 license revenues, the two auditing firms involved in the audit and, if necessary, a third auditing firm selected by them, shall determine a compromise resolution within 30 days and their joint determination shall be final and binding. If no audit of the Statement of Net Revenues is initiated pursuant to this Section 2.2(e), the Statement of Net Revenues shall not be subject to review or adjustment. 2.3 Closing Deliveries by Bentley.

The right of the Selling Entities and/or Bentley to use the Non-Owned IP is governed under the license agreements or other Contracts listed on Schedules 3.22(b) and 3.23(b). (c) To the best of the Selling Entities' knowledge, the development, license, use, sale, distribution, modification and exploitation of the Owned IP by the Selling Entities, and the use of the Non-Owned IP by the Selling Entities have not infringed on or otherwise violated the rights of any other Person or constituted an unlawful disclosure, use or misappropriation of the right or rights of any other Person.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.22(g), the rights to develop, make, license, use, have sold, have made, have used, perform, copy, make derivative works of, sell, distribute, modify and exploit the Owned IP held by Bentley immediately after the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be the same rights to develop, make, license, use, sell, have sold, have made, have used, perform, display, transmit, reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, modify and exploit the Owned IP held by the Selling Entities immediately prior to the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without any diminution or alteration as a result of the Closing or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

None of the Owned IP was developed as part of the performance of any obligation for any Tribunal, or any other Person which would require the taking of any action, whether or not actually taken, in order for all rights to the Owned IP to become vested in, or retained by, any Selling Entity. Other than the Owned IP and the rights of any Selling Entity in the Non-Owned IP, except as set forth in Schedule 3.22(h), no material Intellectual Property right is used in connection with the Civil, Raster or Plotting products or is necessary for the use thereof. -27-

All such patents and any such registrations are in good standing, have been validly prosecuted or issued, are subsisting, and are in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. To the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, no Person other than a Selling Entity has either applied for any patent or registered any claim to copyright with respect to any part of the Owned Software. The Selling Entities have taken sufficient measures to protect their Owned IP and Non-Owned IP and perfect the chain of title for the Owned IP such that Bentley may file and record, with the appropriate government agencies, applications for patent, trademark and/or copyright protection for Owned IP for which there is no current corresponding patent or registration. (j) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.11 and to the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, (i) none of the Owned IP has been infringed by any other Person and none is threatened, and (ii) none of the Owned IP is being used by any other Person except pursuant to a license agreement or other Contract as set forth in Schedule 3.22(h). 3.23 Software. (a) Schedule 1.1(c) sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all items of Software (i) which are owned by a Selling Entity and (ii) which comprise a part of the Acquired Assets (the "Owned Software"). The Owned Software shall include without limitation all earlier or predecessor versions of any of such Software (whether or not released, distributed or sunsetted) if and to the extent that such can be identified. (b) Schedule 3.23(b) sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all items of Software (i) which is not owned by any Selling Entity but in which a Selling Entity has a right or rights (by license or otherwise) and (ii) which also comprise a part of the Acquired Assets (the "Non-Owned Software"). The right of the Selling Entities to use the Non-Owned Software is under the assignments or other Contracts listed in Schedule 3.23(b). To the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, the use by Bentley of the Non-Owned Software will not constitute an infringement or other violation of the rights of any other Person or constitute an unlawful disclosure, use or misappropriation of the right or rights of any other Person. No rights of any third party not previously obtained are necessary to use, market, license, sell, modify, update, and/or create derivative works for any Non-Owned Software as to which the Selling Entities takes any such action in their business as currently conducted. (c) All Owned Software is free from material defects in programming and operation and performs in accordance with all normal industry expectations for quality and relevant HELP files and published user manuals therefor and in accordance with all technical, promotional and other written material used or provided to any Person in connection with the Owned Software. With respect to all Owned Software, the Selling Entities maintain machine-readable master-reproducible copies, reasonably complete technical documentation and/or user -28-
manuals for the most current releases or versions thereof and for all earlier releases or versions thereof currently being supported by the Selling Entities; and such software can be maintained and modified by reasonable competent programmers familiar with such language, hardware and operating systems. (d) Each of the Selling Entities has performed all obligations imposed upon it by any Contract with regard to the Software which are required to be performed by it on or prior to the date hereof, and no Selling Entity or, to the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, any other party, is in breach of or default thereunder in any respect, nor to the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, is there any event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder. (e) For purposes of this section, the word "accepted" shall mean that all deliverables owed to a licensee have been delivered and licensee has either (i) no entitlement to any further acceptance period, trial, testing period or the like, (ii) completed all applicable testing processes and accepted the deliverables, or (iii) any and all applicable acceptance or testing periods have expired according to their terms so that the recognition of revenue resulting from such contracts is not contingent upon the conclusion of such activities. (f) To the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, no Software comprising a part of the Acquired Assets (i) contains any coded instructions, anti-circumvention measures, routine, or other means (including but not limited to any back door) that would enable any person or computer system, including authorized or unauthorized users, to bypass any log-in and/or any security feature of the Software or any computer on which the Software is installed; (ii) contains any coded instructions, anti-circumvention measures, routine or other means (including but not limited to any time bomb or drop dead device) that, when activated in accordance with a predetermined method, date, or event, causes the Software to cease to operate, to operate in a degraded manner, to damage or destroy data or code, or otherwise deleteriously affect the functioning of the Software, other programs, or the computer systems on which the Software is installed or with which such computer systems are in communication (except demonstration versions or copies of Software which cease to function at a predetermined date if not purchased or if other similar action is not taken); (iii) contains any coded instructions, anti-circumvention measures, routine or other means that causes the Software, other software, or the computer system on which the Software is installed to perform an unauthorized function or to operate in an unauthorized manner; or (iv) contains any coded instructions, anti-circumvention measures, routine or other means (including any virus, trojan horse, or worm) that disables, erases, or otherwise harms software, hardware or data or otherwise causes such actions. 3.24 Development and Protection of the Owned IP. (a) The Owned IP (except for patents) consists exclusively of "works made for hire" as that term is used in Title 17 of the United States Code, and a Selling Entity is considered the author of each of such works. The Selling Entities have obtained from all appropriate Persons duly authorized and validly executed assignments of all patents included in the Owned IP that were not invented, created or originally developed by the Selling Entities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.24(a), the Owned IP was developed entirely by (i) full time employees of a -29-
Selling Entity working within the scope of their employment within the meaning of 17 USC Section 101 during the period (for each such person, the employee's "Engagement Period") in which either (I) (A) he or she was a full time employee of a Selling Entity, (B) he or she was employed only by a Selling Entity and (C) he or she was expressly employed for the purpose of or his written job description in the employment of a Selling Entity at the time of such actions included as a primary duty the development of part of the Owned IP or (II) he was subject to a valid and enforceable written Contract which assigned to such Selling Entity ownership of the work or works produced, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights therein (such employee, solely when meeting all of these criteria, referred to as a "Developer"), or (ii) independent contractors or consultants engaged by a Selling Entity which have assigned in writing to such Selling Entity their entire right, title, and interest in and to the work or works produced, including without limitation all intellectual property rights therein pursuant to a valid and enforceable written Contract (such contractor or consultant meeting these criteria also referred to as a "Developer"). Except as set forth in Schedule 3.24(a), no material Owned IP includes any Intellectual Property in which any Person other than a Selling Entity have or may acquire any right of ownership, control or compensation, any invention made by any employee of a Selling Entity who was not hired to invent at any time other than during the employee's Engagement Period or any independent contractor or consultant engaged by a Selling Entity who is not subject to one of the Contracts referred to in this Section 3.24(a)(ii), or the product of any effort to develop independently, through a "clean room" effort or otherwise, an expression in which any Person other than a Selling Entity has intellectual property rights. None of the Owned IP is the product of a joint invention or authorship by a Developer and any Person who is not also a Developer. To the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, no right of any Person other than a Selling Entity to any patent, patent application, trademark or copyright is embodied in any of the Owned Software, except as set forth on Schedule 3.24(a). (b) The Selling Entities have taken appropriate measures to (i) protect and obtain (but not register) copyrights and (ii) protect for the sole use and benefit of the Selling Entities the confidential and proprietary nature of the trade secrets, source code, object code and access codes for the Owned Software. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.24(b), each Person, including without limitation employees, agents, consultants, distributors and licensees of a Selling Entity, who has had access to or otherwise been exposed to such Software or trade secrets related thereto (including without limitation any of the source code for the Owned Software) has been advised of the confidential and proprietary nature thereof and any such agent, consultant, distributor or licensee has been required to enter into a written agreement with a Selling Entity acknowledging and agreeing that (i) the Owned IP is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of, and may be confidential to, such Selling Entity, and (ii) the Owned IP is not to be used or disclosed to any Person other than as specifically authorized by such Selling Entity. Each of the Contracts referred to in Section 3.24(b) and the Contracts referred to in Section 3.24(a)(i) was and is in full force and effect, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Selling Entity which is a party thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, each other Person which is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of -30-
the court before which any proceeding may be brought. Each Selling Entity has kept all of the Trade Secrets relating to the Software, including without limitation all of the source code for the Owned Software, strictly confidential and secret. Such Trade Secrets are not and have not been a part of the public knowledge or literature. No Selling Entity has disclosed, divulged or otherwise provided access to any part of the source code, object code or access codes for the Owned Software other than to Persons which have entered into written confidentiality agreements with the appropriate Selling Entity or who have a confidential relationship with the Selling Entity or a duty to keep such source code for the Owned Software confidential. To the best knowledge of the Selling Entities, no Person which is a party to such a confidentiality agreement or has a confidential relationship with any Selling Entity is in violation of, or in default under, any term or provision of such Contract which relates to the Owned IP. 3.25 Brokers. None of the Selling Entities has authorized any Person to act as a broker or finder or in any similar capacity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a manner as to give rise to a valid claim against Bentley for any brokers' or finders' fees or similar fees or expenses.

From the date hereof and through the Closing Date, each Selling Entity shall conduct its business with respect to such portion of the Acquired Assets as it may control only in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, unless Bentley shall otherwise consent in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless Bentley has given its prior written consent, no Selling Entity will take any action that would cause the breach of any covenant of such Selling Entity in this Agreement (including in this Article V) or that would cause the representations and warranties of such Selling Entity in this Agreement (including those set forth in Article III) to be untrue in any respect at any time through the Closing Date. 5.3 Preservation of Business. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, from the date hereof and through the Closing Date, each Selling Entity will, with respect to such portions of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as it may control: (a) use its best efforts to preserve intact its present business organization and not alter or change its methods of operation; (b) use its best efforts to preserve its goodwill and its present business relationships with all Persons; (c) use its best efforts to keep available the services of its present officers and employees, except as Bentley may otherwise reasonably request, provided that the Selling Entities shall not be obligated to increase compensation or benefits outside of the ordinary course of business in order to retain such persons; (d) maintain and keep its respective portion of the Acquired Assets in good repair and condition, normal wear and tear excepted; (e) pay and perform, when due, all obligations under its Contracts relating to the Acquired Assets; (f) comply with and perform all its obligations and duties imposed by all Legislative Enactments, except as may be contested by such Selling Entity in good faith by appropriate proceedings; -33-
(g) not amend or make other changes to its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other organic document in any manner whatsoever that would inhibit or hinder its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (h) not purchase, sell, lease, mortgage, pledge or otherwise acquire or dispose of its respective portion of any Acquired Assets, except for tangible personal property purchased, sold, leased or pledged in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices; (i) not enter into, or become obligated under, any Contract relating to any of the Acquired Assets, or change, amend, terminate or otherwise modify any such Contract, except for normal purchase, sale, license and lease agreements and commitments for tangible personal property which are entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices; (j) except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, not waive, compromise or settle any right or claim with respect to the Acquired Assets, or institute, settle or agree to settle any litigation, action or proceeding with respect to the Acquired Assets before any Tribunal; (k) not subject any of the Acquired Assets to any newly created Lien or other adverse interest or restriction, other than Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable that have been incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices; (l) not grant any rebates, discounts, advances or allowances to any customers with respect to the Civil, Raster or Plotting products, except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Selling Entities shall provide any such products (including Software products) or services at discounted rates or free of charge to any customer as a rebate, discount or advance, except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices); (m) not use or sell the inventories included in the Acquired Assets, except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices; and (n) not enter into any stocking transactions with dealers or resellers pursuant to which such dealers or resellers purchase products included in the Acquired Assets for the purpose of holding such products in their inventories in quantities that exceed their customary quantities of such products. 5.4 Access to Information. From the date hereof to the Closing Date, each Selling Entity shall furnish, and shall cause each Affiliate of such Selling Entity which it directly or indirectly controls to furnish, to the officers, employees and agents of Bentley reasonable access to (a) the officers, employees, agents, properties, Books and Records as they relate to its respective portion of the Acquired Assets and (b) all of its financial, operating and other data and information with respect to its respective portion of the Acquired Assets. No such examination, inspection or audit by Bentley or its agents and representatives (whether in accordance with this Section 5.4 or -34-
otherwise) shall in any way diminish, modify, terminate or otherwise affect the respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Selling Entities contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by the Selling Entities or any Affiliate of the Selling Entities in connection with this Agreement. 5.5 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, each Selling Entity shall give prompt notice to Bentley of (a) any threatened or actual lawsuit, any proposed settlement of any threatened or actual lawsuit and any pending or threatened governmental action or proceeding of any kind known to such Selling Entity which relates to its respective portion of the Acquired Assets or the transactions then contemplated by this Agreement; or (b) any material failure of the Selling Entities to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement then remaining to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. 5.6 Non-Solicitation. From the date hereof and until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, no Selling Entity or any Affiliate of a Selling Entity shall, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment (other than through public advertisements or other widely disseminated employment notices) or hire any Transferred Employee who is then currently employed by Bentley or its Affiliates. From the date hereof and until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Bentley nor any Affiliate of Bentley, or Intergraph nor any Affiliate of Intergraph, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment (other than through public advertisements or other widely disseminated employment notices) any person who is then currently employed by the other party or its Affiliates in the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands or Belgium. 5.7 Further Assurances; Transition Period. If at any time after the Closing, Bentley shall consider or be advised that any further assignments, conveyances, transfers or assurances in law, or any other actions or things, may be necessary or appropriate to assign, convey, transfer, set over or deliver to, or to vest, perfect or confirm in, Bentley any right, title or interest of any Selling Entity, of record or otherwise, in or to the Acquired Assets or to place Bentley in operating control of any of the Acquired Assets, such Selling Entity shall promptly execute, deliver and record, or cause to be executed, delivered and recorded, any and all such further instruments of assignment, conveyance and transfer and take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things, as may be reasonably requested by Bentley at Bentley's expense to assign, convey, transfer, set over and deliver to, and to vest, perfect and confirm in, Bentley all right, title and interest of such Selling Entity, of record and otherwise, in and to the Acquired Assets or to place Bentley in operating control of any of the Acquired Assets. Each Selling Entity shall also, without additional consideration, provide assistance to Bentley as may be reasonably requested by Bentley to assure the orderly transition of the Acquired Assets to Bentley. 5.8 Non-Competition. As a material inducement for Bentley to enter into this Agreement, the Selling Entities covenant and agree that, commencing on the Closing Date and continuing for a period of four (4) years thereafter, the Selling Entities shall not, and will cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, do any of the following: -35-
(a) develop, market or distribute any product (i.e., products used primarily for road or rail design or survey) or maintenance programs that compete with the Civil products included in the Acquired Assets or related maintenance for such products; provided, however, that (i) the Selling Entities or their Affiliates may develop, market or distribute certain products that are not included in the Acquired Assets that contain, or in the future may contain, certain civil functions (e.g., DTM creation, modeling and analysis, and surveying) (the "Permitted Civil Products"); provided that neither the Selling Entities nor any of their Affiliates will develop, market or sell any of the Permitted Civil Products in substitution of or as a replacement for the Civil products included in the Acquired Assets or maintenance programs for such products, and (ii) Intergraph and its Affiliates may list Team GeoMedia products developed by its Team GeoMedia Business Partners (as designated by Intergraph from time to time in accordance with its Team GeoMedia publications, and none of which are Intergraph Affiliates) in (a) Intergraph's catalogues for GeoMedia products, (b) its GeoMedia web site, and (c) any other Intergraph marketing programs for Team GeoMedia products; provided, in each case, that Intergraph's materials and web site and programs shall not publicize any program offering Team GeoMedia products in substitution of or as a replacement for the Civil products included in the Acquired Assets or maintenance programs for such products; and, provided further, that Team GeoMedia products shall not be Permitted Civil Products hereunder except to the extent of activities described in (a) through (c) in this subparagraph (ii); (b) develop, market or distribute any products designed primarily to plot, (or view representations thereof created in order to be plotted) MicroStation and/or AutoCAD and/or Intellicad files (or files produced by any MicroStation or AutoCAD or Intellicad layered application, or any DGN or DWG files), or any maintenance program that competes with the Plotting products included in the Acquired Assets or related maintenance for such products. The foregoing shall not preclude: (A) products of the Selling Entities which are: (i) for use in projects where the Selling Entities then provide vertical engineering design products that are not layered on AutoCAD, Intellicad, or MicroStation, and (ii) marketed primarily to plot data created by such vertical engineering design products; or (B) maintenance of the Selling Entities which: (i) is designed and marketed primarily for the products described in (A), and (ii) does not provide discounted or concessionary "competitive upgrades" (or similarly targeted marketing) to replace the Plotting products included in the Acquired Assets. For the purpose of this Section 5.8(b), the Bundled Products to be defined in the OEM Agreement between the parties when executed and delivered, will be considered MicroStation layered applications; (c) develop, market or distribute any stand-alone or server-based MicroStation-based raster product for processing engineering drawings (other than for GIS/Photogrammetry), or any maintenance programs that compete with the Raster products included in the Acquired Assets or related maintenance for such products, except in either case excluding the Selling Entities' or their Affiliates' non-MicroStation based technology platforms that may be developed in the future. In the event that the provisions of this Section 5.8 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations or any other limitations permitted by applicable law in any -36-
jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum permitted by applicable law. Each of the Selling Entities specifically acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Bentley, that Bentley would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to Bentley, that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing restrictions will be inadequate, and that, in the event of any such breach, Bentley, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course and to permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of quantifying actual damages. 5.9 Certain Employee Benefit Matters. (a) The Selling Entities' Incentive Benefits. Not later than thirty days following the Closing Date, each Selling Entity will pay to the Transferred Employees any incentive compensation benefits due to such Transferred Employees through the Closing Date and to the other Transferred Employees the pro rata portion of the bonus payments to such persons through the Closing Date, if any, in accordance with such Selling Entity's bonus scheme in effect for 2000. For each Transferred Employee, such Selling Entity will pay Bentley at the Closing (by way of a set off against the cash portion of the Consideration) the amount of such Selling Entity's liability for accrued vacation for such Transferred Employee in the amount assumed by Bentley. For accrued vacation not assumed by Bentley, such Selling Entity will pay these liabilities directly to the Transferred Employee within thirty days following the Closing. (b) Intergraph's Stock Incentive Plan. Intergraph shall extend, for a period of three months from the date of termination with respect to each Transferred Employee, the exercise periods under the Intergraph Corporation 1992 Stock Option Plan and the Intergraph Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan for all vested awards as of the date of termination of employment by Intergraph of such Transferred Employee. (c) Employment Assistance. Each Selling Entity will cooperate with Bentley in (i) the facilitation of the transfer of the Transferred Employees to Bentley, (ii) the performance by Bentley of its obligations under Section 6.3 to offer employment with Bentley to such employees of such Selling Entity as such parties shall agree upon prior thereto and (iii) Bentley's effort to employ such employees. No Selling Entity will (A) except upon the authorization and direction of Bentley, make any representations, promises or other communications, whether written or oral, to such employees regarding employment with Bentley or employee benefits, plans or practices of Bentley, or (B) take any act that diminishes Bentley's right to dismiss, subject to applicable law, any such employee with or without cause. (d) Expense Report Reimbursement. Each Selling Entity will reimburse a Transferred Employee for any business related expenses incurred by that Transferred Employee -37-
with respect to the period prior to the Closing in accordance with such Selling Entity's standard expense reimbursement policy. (e) Intergraph 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the date of the termination of employment by a Selling Entity in connection with this transaction, Intergraph, at its expense, shall take all actions which are necessary and appropriate to fully vest each Transferred Employee in all amounts in such employee's individual account in the Intergraph Corporation SavingsPlus Plan (the "Intergraph 401(k) Plan"). Any Transferred Employee who, as of the date of termination of such employee's employment with a Selling Entity, has an outstanding balance on any loan from the Intergraph 401(k) Plan, shall be eligible to transfer such loan, along with all amounts vested in such employee's Intergraph 401(k) Plan individual account, into the Bentley 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan (the "Bentley 401(k) Plan") pursuant to a trust-to-trust transfer ("Plan Asset Transfer") made in accordance with the administrative policies and procedures of the Bentley 401(k) Plan and Section 414(l) of the Code, provided that at the time of the Plan Asset Transfer Intergraph represents and warrants to Bentley that the Intergraph 401(k) Plan (i) provides for Plan Asset Transfers and (ii) is a qualified employee pension benefit plan in compliance with Code Sections 401 et seq. The plan administrator of the Intergraph 401(k) Plan shall, upon reasonable request, promptly provide the plan administrator of the Bentley 401(k) Plan with any and all data, records and other information pertaining to any Transferred Employee, a beneficiary, dependent, spouse or former spouse of any Transferred Employee, the Intergraph 401(k) Plan individual account for any Transferred Employee, and any other information considered necessary and appropriate for the plan administrator of the Bentley 401(k) Plan to establish and administer an individual account for any Transferred Employee in the Bentley 401(k) Plan. The plan administrator of the Intergraph 401(k) Plan shall further cooperate to take all such reasonable actions as are necessary or appropriate for such plan administrator to take to effect the Plan Assets Transfer in a timely and efficient manner, including the filing of any reports, notices or disclosures which may be required by any governmental agency. (f) Social Security Contributions; Health Insurance. The Selling Entities shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts accrued by them for social security contributions and employee health and welfare insurance with respect to Transferred Employees for years and periods (and portions thereof) ended on or prior to the Closing Date. 5.10 Enforcement of Certain Contracts and Confidentiality Agreements. The Selling Entities agree to enforce, for the benefit of Bentley, any and all rights of the Selling Entities under any Contract retained by the Selling Entities pursuant to which any confidential or proprietary information relating to any of the Acquired Assets was provided by the Selling Entities to any Person. The Selling Entities shall promptly inform Bentley of any breach of which any of them become aware by any Person of the confidentiality obligations under any such Contract relating to confidential or proprietary information relating to any of the Acquired Assets. 5.11 Confidential Information. Each of the Selling Entities hereby acknowledges that Bentley would be irreparably damaged if any proprietary or confidential information possessed -38-
by any Selling Entity concerning the Acquired Assets or Bentley (except for any information that is or becomes generally known to the public, otherwise than through a breach of this Agreement) were disclosed to or used by any Person engaged in competition with the Civil, Raster and Plotting products. Each of the Selling Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, accountants, agents or other representatives to use or disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, except as expressly permitted hereunder. If any Selling Entity is requested or required by any Tribunal to disclose any of such proprietary or confidential information, then such Selling Entity will provide Bentley with prompt written notice of such request or requirement. Bentley may then either seek appropriate protective relief from all or part of such request or requirement or waive such Selling Entity's compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.11 with respect to all or part of such request or requirement. Each Selling Entity shall cooperate with Bentley in attempting to obtain any reasonable protective relief that Bentley chooses to seek. If, after Bentley has had a reasonable opportunity to seek such relief, Bentley fails to obtain such relief, then such Selling Entity may disclose only that portion of such proprietary or confidential information which its legal counsel advises it is compelled to disclose. 5.12 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each applicable Selling Entity agrees: (a) to assist Bentley in preparing any tax returns that it is responsible for preparing and filing after the Closing Date with respect to the Acquired Assets conveyed on the Closing Date to the extent such tax returns require information not included within such Acquired Assets; to reasonably cooperate, at Bentley's expense, in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with Tribunals regarding, any tax returns relating to the Acquired Assets; and to make available to Bentley and to any Tribunal as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to liabilities for taxes associated with the Acquired Assets; (b) to provide Bentley with reasonable access to the portions of such Selling Entity's tax records and reports, general ledgers and any other books, records, files or correspondence which relate to the Acquired Assets and to preserve all such information, records and documents until the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation or extensions thereof and as otherwise required by law; and (c) to provide timely notice to Bentley in writing of any pending or threatened tax audits or assessments related to the Acquired Assets for periods beginning after the Closing Date and of which such Selling Entity has knowledge and to furnish Bentley with copies of all correspondence received from any Tribunal in connection with any tax audit or information request with respect to any such period. -39-
ARTICLE VI COVENANTS OF BENTLEY To induce the Selling Entities to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Bentley covenants as follows: 6.1 Consummation of Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, Bentley will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, Bentley shall not voluntarily take any action or course of action inconsistent with the satisfaction of the conditions, terms and provisions of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 6.2 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, Bentley shall give prompt notice to the Selling Entities of any material failure of Bentley or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement then remaining to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. 6.3 Employment. Prior to the Closing, Bentley has offered employment with Bentley to the Transferred Employees. Such offers were consistent with the hiring policies of Bentley and included employee benefits generally comparable to those of other similarly situated Bentley employees. If the annual salaries offered to non-U.S. Transferred Employees are less than the annual salaries being paid to such non-U.S. Transferred Employees' by the Selling Entities prior to Bentley's employment offer, Bentley shall increase the annual salaries offered to such non-U.S. Transferred Employees to equal the annual salaries they had been receiving from Intergraph prior to Bentley's employment offer. Bentley reserves the right to revoke the offer and refuse to hire any employee who does not satisfy Bentley's pre-employment requirements. Bentley will assume each Selling Entity's liability to the Transferred Employees for accrued vacation up to one week in the aggregate for each Transferred Employee, and the amount of such assumed liabilities shall be set off against the cash portion of the Consideration payable at Closing. Bentley shall provide each Transferred Employee who works in the United States with holiday paid time-off for December 26, 2000 through and including December 29, 2000. Bentley shall also allow such employees to carry over the number of accrued vacation days (not to exceed five days) to which he or she is entitled as of the Closing and apply such accrued vacation days to his or her vacation time in 2001 in addition to Bentley's normal vacation allowance for such employees during the calendar year 2001. Bentley shall recognize the service with the Selling Entities of each Transferred Employee for employee benefit purposes, including vacation policy; provided, however, that in consideration of the foregoing obligations of Bentley with respect to non-U.S. Transferred Employees, Bentley shall be entitled to an offset against the Consideration in the amount of $219,600. Nothing in this Agreement shall diminish the right of Bentley, subject to any then applicable Legislative Enactments, to dismiss any of those employees of a -40-
Selling Entity who become employees of Bentley with or without cause and to change the terms and conditions of employment of any or all of such employees. On or before January 31, 2001, Bentley shall pay Intergraph, for itself and the other Selling Entities, an amount equal to $414,300 multiplied by 130% multiplied by the quotient of the number of days from December 1, 2000 to the Closing divided by 31. 6.4 Trade Names and Service Marks. Bentley agrees that it will discontinue the use, directly or indirectly, in any manner or form, of the name "Intergraph" and the corresponding logo thereof; provided, however, that until the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, Bentley shall be permitted to use such name and logo only in connection with the distribution of inventory and supplies included in the Acquired Assets; and provided further that at any time following the Closing Date, Bentley shall be able to identify that the Acquired Assets were previously owned by the Selling Entities. Further, after the Closing, Bentley may use the name "Intergraph" and the corresponding logo thereof in the maintenance of the Acquired Assets and wherever its removal effects the operation of the Acquired Assets including registry keys, file system paths, and software component identifiers. 6.5 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, Bentley shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Selling Entities, make available to the Selling Entities and to any Tribunal all information, records and documents relating to (i) liabilities of the Selling Entities for Taxes relating to the Acquired Assets, (ii) matters disclosed on Schedule 3.12, and (iii) such other matters as the Selling Entities may reasonably request relating to the Excluded Assets or the performance of obligations with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Selling Entities, Bentley shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit certain of the Transferred Employees identified by the Selling Entities to appear as witnesses or trial representatives, and to assist the Selling Entities in trial preparation in connection with any litigation or proceeding relating to the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.12; provided, however, that the Selling Entities shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but without other expense or hourly charges) incurred by such Transferred Employees in providing any such requested assistance to the Selling Entities. 6.6 Transfer of Certain Non-U.S. Pension Assets. Bentley and the Selling Entities shall take all steps reasonably required by the applicable law of any foreign jurisdiction to transfer the pension assets vested in any non-U.S. Transferred Employees under Intergraph's pension plan. 6.7 OEM Agreement. As promptly as practical following the Closing, Bentley and Intergraph shall enter into a MicroStation OEM Agreement consistent with the terms set forth in that certain letter of intent dated April 20, 2000 between Bentley and Intergraph. ARTICLE VII MAINTENANCE -41-
7.1 Transferred Maintenance Revenues. Bentley hereby agrees to perform the maintenance obligations under the Maintenance Agreements on behalf of the Selling Entities with respect to the products included in the Acquired Assets. The Selling Entities shall be entitled to all revenues accrued under the Maintenance Agreements for any period prior to the MCO Date. Prior to the Closing, for purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Note on a preliminary basis (the "Preliminary Note Amount"), the Selling Entities shall provide Bentley with a schedule ("Schedule 7.1") which lists all Maintenance Agreements in effect in the United States as of October 31, 2000 and in effect outside of the United States as of July 31, 2000, specifying, without limitation, the products covered thereunder, the remaining terms thereof and the Maintenance Agreements that are scheduled to expire on or before the MCO Date. The revenues set forth on Schedule 7.1 shall be net of any third-party costs and shall not include any maintenance revenues with respect to the MicroStation product, and shall reflect those revenues that will accrue under all of the Maintenance Agreements for the period (for each such agreement) from the MCO Date through and including the earlier of (i) the expiration of the current term of the Maintenance Agreement in question (treating any renewal date as an expiration date), and (ii) the first anniversary of the MCO Date, (such earlier date is referred to herein as the "Expiration Date"). Such Schedule 7.1 is referred to herein as the "Schedule of Transferred Maintenance." The aggregate net maintenance revenues set forth on the Schedule of Transferred Maintenance for the period from the MCO Date to the Expiration Date is referred to herein as the "Transferred Maintenance Revenues." The Schedule of Transferred Maintenance Revenues shall also set forth the aggregate Transferred Maintenance Revenues by month and by currency for each country. The Preliminary Note Amount shall be equal to 1.5 times the amount of Transferred Maintenance Revenues. Within 50 days following the Closing, the Selling Entities shall use their good faith efforts to complete and shall provide to Bentley an updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance setting forth all Maintenance Agreements in effect as of the MCO Date (the "Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance"). The Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance shall clearly show all changes from the initial schedule that was delivered at the Closing. Upon delivery of the Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance, the Note shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.2(c)(ii) hereof and the Intergraph payments described in Section 7.2 below shall be appropriately adjusted with retroactive effect to the MCO Date. If, despite the Selling Entities' good faith efforts, the Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance does not reflect all Maintenance Agreements in effect as of the MCO Date, then the Selling Entities shall, within 150 days following the Closing, provide Bentley with a further updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance ("Second Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance") setting forth all Maintenance Agreements as of the MCO Date. The Second Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance shall clearly show all changes from the initial schedule that was delivered at the Closing and the Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance. Upon delivery of the Second Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance, the Note shall be further adjusted as provided in Section 2.2(c)(ii) hereof and the Intergraph payments described in Section 7.2 below shall be appropriately adjusted with retroactive effect to the MCO Date. All references herein to the "Schedule of Transferred Maintenance" after delivery of the Initial Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance or after delivery of the Second Updated Schedule of Transferred Maintenance, as the case may be, means such schedule as so updated; and the Transferred Maintenance Revenues reflected on each such schedule shall be referred to herein as the "Transferred Maintenance Revenues." -42-
7.2 Payment of Transferred Maintenance Revenues to Bentley and BSI Netherlands. For each Maintenance Agreement, during the period from the MCO Date through and including its Expiration Date, the Selling Entities will continue to invoice and collect the Transferred Maintenance Revenues from the subscriber. Subject to Section 7.5, within 30 days after the end of each month during said period, (a) Intergraph will remit to Bentley, regardless of amounts actually collected by the Selling Entities from the subscriber, a subcontractor fee in an amount equal to 95% of the Transferred Maintenance Revenues (excluding Transferred Maintenance Revenues relating to maintenance services provided to customers located in European countries (the "European Transferred Maintenance Revenues")) accrued for the immediately preceding month, and (b) the Selling Entities will remit to BSI Netherlands, regardless of amounts actually collected by the Selling Entities from the subscriber, a subcontractor fee in an amount equal to 95% of the European Transferred Maintenance Revenues accrued for the immediately preceding month. Monies remitted to Bentley and BSI Netherlands pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be paid in U.S. dollars computed, for all Maintenance Agreements paid in non-U.S. currencies, at the exchange rate used to compute the amount of the Note at Closing, and payments hereunder to Bentley and BSI Netherlands shall be delivered via wire transfer of immediately available funds. 7.3 Renewed Maintenance Revenues. Subject to Section 7.5, from and after the Closing Date, the Selling Entities shall have no authority to and shall not take any action to enter into any new or renew any Maintenance Agreements between itself and any subscriber with respect to the Civil, Raster or Plotting products. At or prior to the Expiration Date for each Maintenance Agreement, the Selling Entities and Bentley shall jointly take all appropriate actions to solicit and encourage subscribers to renew their maintenance programs for the products included in the Acquired Assets with Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable. Within 30 days after the first anniversary of the MCO Date, Bentley shall provide Intergraph with a list of all subscribers from the list of subscribers described in the Schedule of Transferred Maintenance who have renewed such maintenance programs with Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable. From and after the Expiration Date of the Maintenance Agreements, Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable, shall be entitled to all Renewed Maintenance Revenues. For purposes hereof, "Renewed Maintenance Revenues" shall mean, with respect to the products included in the Acquired Assets, the monthly maintenance fees related to maintenance programs renewed with Bentley or BSI Netherlands, as applicable, after their respective Expiration Dates. Solely for purposes of calculating the Renewed Maintenance Revenues, the monthly maintenance fee (payable in foreign currency if applicable) for each renewed Maintenance Agreement shall be assumed to be the same as it was in the calculation of the Transferred Maintenance Revenues as of the first month after the MCO Date for the period (for each agreement) from the Expiration Date to the end of the first year after the MCO Date, notwithstanding the actual fee upon such renewal. Bentley acknowledges that Intergraph has, prior to the date of this Agreement, provided price quotes in the ordinary course of its business relating to the renewal of maintenance services to certain of its customers whose Maintenance Agreements are scheduled to expire within 90 days following the date on which such price quotes were provided (the "Quoted Prices"). To the extent Bentley enters into renewed Maintenance Agreements with such customers following the Closing, Bentley shall, for the term of the renewed Maintenance Agreements, provide -43-
maintenance services thereunder at the Quoted Prices, provided that such Quoted Prices were consistent with Intergraph's past practice. 7.4 Foreign Currencies. In calculating the Transferred Maintenance Revenues and the Renewed Maintenance Revenues for purposes of determining and adjusting the principal amount of the Note under Section 2.2(c)(ii), the portion of such revenues paid in non-U.S. currencies shall be denominated in U.S. dollars at the currency exchange rates in effect two Business Days before the Closing Date (with respect to Transferred Maintenance Revenues) and two Business Days before the date the Note is adjusted (with respect to Renewed Maintenance Revenues). 7.5 CAD II Maintenance. The administration of and post-Closing payment obligations pertaining to CAD II Maintenance Agreements shall be governed by the Master Agreement for Local Purchasing and Select Partner Agreements, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Bentley and Intergraph. Transferred Maintenance Revenues and Renewed Maintenance Revenues under the CAD II Maintenance Agreements shall be calculated based upon the net amounts payable to Bentley for purposes of computing the principal amount of the Note. ARTICLE VIII CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF BENTLEY The obligations of Bentley under this Agreement to acquire the Acquired Assets and to assume the Assumed Liabilities shall be subject to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions at or before the Closing: 8.1 Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties made by the Selling Entities set forth herein or in any Schedule, exhibit, instrument or other document delivered to Bentley pursuant to this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and on and as of the Closing Date, to the same extent and with the same effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date, except where such representation clearly relates to another date specified therein (in which case, such representation or warranty shall relate to such specific date). 8.2 Performance by Selling Entities. The Selling Entities shall have fully performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreements required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by each of them on or before the Closing. 8.3 Prohibitions, Restrictions and Litigation. On the Closing Date, there shall be no proceeding or other litigation outstanding or pending by any other Person against Bentley which prohibits or restricts, challenges or reasonably may be expected to give rise to a material challenge to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which claims (or reasonably may be expected to give rise to a claim of) damages as a result of the -44-
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Acquired Assets. 8.4 Consents. The waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. The Selling Entities shall have received the Consents referred to in Schedule 3.4(a) that relate to the Closing and such other material Consents from any Tribunal or other Person as may be necessary or appropriate (a) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Closing; (b) to enable Bentley to utilize the Acquired Assets subsequent to the Closing in substantially the same manner as they were utilized prior to the Closing; or (c) that are necessary to prevent a breach of or a material default or penalty, or material increase in payments under, or a termination of any material Contract included in the Acquired Assets. Bentley shall have received the Consents referred to in Section 9.4. 8.5 Lien Searches.

contributions) of any of the Selling Entities which are attributable to periods ending prior to the Closing Date; (i) the enforcement, or the attempted enforcement, of any Non-Compete Covenant against Bentley, any of its Affiliates or any of their employees, acting in his or her capacity as an employee of Bentley or an Affiliate of the same; (j) the transfer to Bentley of the rights and obligations of any of the Selling Entities arising with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date from the employment relationships of any of the Selling Entities with the Transferred Employees existing immediately prior to the Closing Date, by virtue of applicable Legislative Enactments of any Tribunal to implement EEC Council Directive 77/187; (k) the failure to transfer to Bentley the rights and obligations of any of the Selling Entities arising from the employment relationships of any of the Selling Entities with any of its employees existing immediately prior to the Closing Date, by virtue of applicable Legislative Enactments of any Tribunal to implement EEC Council Directive 77/187; (l) any liability or obligation arising under an applicable Environmental Law relating to any of the Selling Entities or any of their Affiliates (whether or not such liability or obligation would constitute a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.12 hereof) which has not been caused by Bentley or any of its Affiliates; (m) any liability or obligation with respect to the payment of the applicable Consideration to Intergraph as agent and on behalf of a Selling Entity; or (n) any matters described or required to be described on the Schedules pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, except for the Assumed Liabilities; or the failure of any of the Selling Entities or any ERISA affiliate to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any liabilities relating to any Employee Pension Benefit Plans, Employee Welfare Benefit Plans, violation of law with respect thereto, contributions and agreements relating thereto, ERISA, COBRA or HIPAA or otherwise relating to benefits for any Selling Entity's employees of any pension, retirement, healthcare or other employee benefit plan maintained by Intergraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1, no Selling Entity shall have any obligation to indemnify, compensate, reimburse or pay any sum to the Bentley Indemnitees in respect of any Losses ("Bentley Losses") pursuant to Section 10.1(a) unless and until all Bentley Losses for which Bentley Indemnitees are entitled to receive indemnification under such Section 10.1(a) exceed, in the aggregate, $400,000 (it being understood and agreed that all such Bentley Losses shall accumulate until such time as they exceed $400,000, at which time the Selling Entities shall be obligated to indemnify any Bentley Indemnitee seeking indemnification under Section 10.1(a) for the aggregate amount of the Bentley Losses, rather than the amount that exceeds $400,000) or in excess of the aggregate amount of the Consideration; provided, however, that the above limitations shall not be applicable to any claims for Bentley Losses pursuant to Sections 10.1(b)-(n), Bentley Losses described in the immediately following paragraph or any Bentley Losses relating to adjustments to the Consideration in Bentley's favor -48-
resulting from the audit referred to in Section 2.1(e). The parties further agree that the liability of the Selling Entities specified above with respect to the Bentley Losses shall be reduced to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually received by any of the Bentley Indemnitees for such Bentley Losses from the Selling Entities or any of its Affiliates or any insurance carrier of the Selling Entities or any of their Affiliates. In addition to the above, the Selling Entities shall indemnify and hold harmless Bentley under this Section 10.1 for any Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from breaches of those representations or warranties of the Selling Entities set forth in Sections 3.22, 3.23 and 3.24 that are qualified or limited by "knowledge" or similar limitations as if such representations or warranties were included in this Agreement without such qualifications or limitations. 10.2 Indemnification by Bentley. Bentley agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Selling Entities and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, Affiliates, agents and representatives, stockholders, successors and assigns (the "Intergraph Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from: (a) any error, inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties made by Bentley herein or in any certificate or other document or instrument furnished or to be furnished by Bentley to any of the Selling Entities in connection with this Agreement; (b) any violation or breach of any covenant or obligation by Bentley of, or default by Bentley under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document or instrument furnished or to be furnished by Bentley to any of the Selling Entities in connection with this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) the failure of Bentley to pay, perform or discharge when due any of the Assumed Liabilities and any of its obligations with respect to Transaction Taxes, if any, to the extent provided for in Section 11.12 hereof; (d) any and all claims resulting from Bentley's use of the Intergraph name and Service Marks; (e) any condition, event or activity relating to the Acquired Assets that occurs on or after the Closing Date; and (f) any use or exploitation by Bentley of the Intellectual Property in violation of the Intellectual Property assignments or the Cross-License Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, Bentley shall not have any obligation to indemnify, compensate, reimburse or pay any sum to the Intergraph Indemnitees in respect of any Losses ("Intergraph Losses") pursuant to Section 10.2(a) unless and until all Intergraph Losses for which Intergraph Indemnitees are entitled to receive indemnification under such Section 10.2(a) exceed, in the aggregate, $400,000 (it being understood and agreed that all such Intergraph Losses shall accumulate until such time as they exceed $400,000, at which time -49-
Bentley shall be obligated to indemnify any Intergraph Indemnitee seeking indemnification under Section 10.2(a) for the aggregate amount of the Intergraph Losses, rather than the amount that exceeds $400,000) or in excess of the aggregate amount of the Consideration; provided, however, that the above limitations shall not be applicable to any claim for Intergraph Losses pursuant to Sections 10.2(b)-(f) or any Intergraph Losses relating to adjustments to the Consideration in Intergraph's favor resulting from the audit referred to in Section 2.1(e). The parties further agree that the liability of Bentley specified above with respect to the Intergraph Losses shall be reduced to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually received by any of the Intergraph Indemnitees for such Intergraph Losses from Bentley or any of its Affiliates or any insurance carrier of Bentley or any of its Affiliates. 10.3 Satisfaction of Claims. If any Person entitled to indemnification under this Article X (an "Indemnified Party") desires to assert any claim for indemnification or to be held harmless under this Article X (a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Person that is obligated to provide such indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") notice of its demand for satisfaction of such Claim (a "Request"), specifying in reasonable detail the amount of such Claim and, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the basis for asserting such Claim. Within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party has been given a Request, the Indemnifying Party shall either (i) satisfy the Claim requested to be satisfied in such Request by delivering to the Indemnified Party payment by wire transfer or a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the Indemnified Party in immediately available Federal Reserve Funds in an amount equal to the amount of such Claim, or (ii) notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party contests such Claim by delivering to the Indemnified Party an objection to such Claim, specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the basis for contesting such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to satisfy a Claim (or portion of a Claim) within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party has been given a Request with respect to such Claim, and whether or not the Indemnifying Party has contested such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party asserting such Claim interest on the unpaid amount of such Claim (or unpaid portion of a Claim) at the Prime Rate, computed from the date such Request was given to the Indemnifying Party to the date such Claim (or portion of a Claim) is satisfied; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the Indemnified Party interest on that part of any unpaid Claim (or portion of a Claim) which the Indemnifying Party successfully contests. 10.4 Matters Which May Give Rise to Claims. (a) Notice and Control. Within 20 days (or such earlier time as might be required to avoid prejudicing the Indemnifying Party's capacity to defend) after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of commencement of any action evidenced by service of process or other legal pleading which it determines has given or could give rise to a Claim (a "Third-Party Matter"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof (together with a copy of such Claim, process or other legal pleading). The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Claim and in connection therewith: -50-
(i) such Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third-Party Matter at its own expense, in good faith and in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Indemnified Party; (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed as to the status of the defense of such Third-Party Matter; (iii) such Indemnifying Party shall employ legal counsel, accountants and/or other experts reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Matter; (iv) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to observe and be present (at its own expense) at any and all meetings, conferences and other proceedings with respect to such Matter; (v) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Matter or ceasing to defend against such Third-Party Matter, if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party; (vi) without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release from liability in respect of such Third-Party Matter to each Indemnified Party by the claimant or plaintiff; and (vii) unless such Indemnifying Party is successful in defending such Third-Party Matter on the merits, any and all losses, damages, costs, and expenses which any Indemnified Party shall suffer or incur in connection with such Third-Party Matter shall be conclusively deemed to be losses, damages, costs and expenses as to which the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified and held harmless under this Article X. Neither the observation or participation by any Indemnified Party in the defense of any Third-Party Matter, nor the failure by any Indemnified Party to observe or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Matter, shall affect in any way the liabilities and obligations of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Matter under this Article X. -51-
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third-Party Matter with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within 15 days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of such Third-Party Matter from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third-Party Matter on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party. (b) Expenses. If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third-Party Matter pursuant to Section 10.4(a), the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including but not limited to Legal Expenses) incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third-Party Matter. The reimbursement of such fees, costs and expenses shall be made by periodic payments during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred. (c) Cooperation. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in the defense of a Third Party Matter that is defended in accordance with this Section 10.4, and shall make available to the defending person or its representative all records and materials required for its use in such defense. 10.5 Rights to Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) Bentley shall have the right to set-off against the remaining unpaid Consideration (including, for such purposes, a reduction in the principal and interest due on the Note which shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to unpaid principal) (i) any amounts then due but not paid by Intergraph as a result of any Bentley Losses which any Bentley Indemnitee has incurred and for which such Bentley Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article X or (ii) any payments due but not paid to Bentley under Section 7.2 in connection with the Maintenance Agreements, and (b) Intergraph shall have the right to set-off against the amounts due to Bentley under Section 7.2 (i) any amounts then due but not paid by Bentley as a result of any Intergraph Losses which any Intergraph Indemnitee has incurred and for which such Intergraph Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article X or (ii) at any time while there shall be any past due payment of principal or interest under the Note; any amount of principal or interest then or thereafter to become due under the Note, in whatever order Intergraph may in its discretion elect; provided, however, that Intergraph and Bentley agree and acknowledge that any amounts that the other sets off pursuant to its right under this Section 10.5 shall not be considered past due. The parties agree that no other offsets shall be permitted against the amounts payable by each to the other hereunder or under the Note. Article XI GENERAL 11.1 Survival of Representations and Agreements. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document, affidavit or instrument delivered -52-

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the mutual consent in writing of Bentley and Intergraph; (b) by Bentley or the Selling Entities, if the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2000, provided that the failure to close is not a result of a breach of the party acting to terminate this Agreement; (c) by Bentley, if any representation or warranty of Intergraph made in or pursuant to this Agreement is untrue or incorrect in any material respect, Intergraph materially breaches the convents or other terms of this Agreement or if any of the conditions precedent to Closing contained in Article VIII are not satisfied; or (d) by Intergraph, if any representation or warranty of Bentley made in or pursuant to this Agreement is untrue or incorrect in any material respect, Bentley materially breaches the covenants or other terms of this Agreement or if any of the conditions precedent to Closing contained in Article IX are not satisfied. A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall give written notice thereof to the other party hereto, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without any further action by any party; provided, however, that if such termination is by Bentley or Intergraph pursuant to Section 11.2(c) or (d), respectively, nothing herein shall effect the non-breaching party's right to damages on account of such other party's breach. 11.3 HSR Filings; Other Filings. Each of the Selling Entities and Bentley has filed with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the United States -53-

The filing fees paid to the FTC in connection with the filings pursuant to the HSR Act have been borne equally by Bentley and Intergraph.

Bentley may not assign any right under this Agreement or delegate any obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of Intergraph, except to one or more other Affiliates of Bentley; provided, however, that any such delegation of obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of Bentley shall not relieve Bentley of any of its obligations under this Agreement. No Selling Entity may assign any rights under this Agreement or delegate any obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of Bentley, provided that, Bentley acknowledges that Foothill Capital Corporation, Intergraph's lender, has a lien on Intergraph's rights under this Agreement. 11.8 Amendments; Waivers, Etc. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each of the parties to this Agreement. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party entitled to enforce such term, but such waiver shall be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement. 11.9 Governing Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles relating to conflict of laws. 11.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. In relation to any legal action, suit or proceeding to which Bentley or any Selling Entity is a party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Bentley and each of the Selling Entities hereby irrevocably, for itself and on behalf of their Affiliates, (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware and to any state court in the State of Delaware (such courts being herein referred to as the "Agreed Courts") solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to herein, and (b) waives and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any document -55-
referred to herein, that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Agreed Courts, or that such proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Agreed Courts, or that this Agreement or any of such documents may not be enforced in or by the Agreed Courts, or that its property is exempt or immune from execution, or that the proceeding is brought in any inconvenient forum or that the venue of the proceeding is improper. Such submission to jurisdiction shall not affect any right of Bentley or any Selling Entity to commence proceedings in any other jurisdiction, and the commencement of proceedings in any jurisdiction shall not preclude Bentley or any Selling Entity from commencing proceedings in any other jurisdiction. Service of any and all process that may be served on any party hereto in any proceeding arising out of this Agreement may be made in the manner and to the addresses set forth in Section 11.6 and service thus made shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon such party by any party hereto on whose behalf such service is made. Nothing shall affect the right to serve any process in any other manner permitted by law. 11.11 Specific Performance. In addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled, the parties agree that temporary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance (which specific performance may take the form of delivery of any assets which may inadvertently have been omitted from a Schedule hereto) may be granted, to the extent permitted under applicable law, without proof of actual damages or inadequacy of legal remedy in any proceeding that may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement. 11.12 Tax Matters. (a) Tax Reporting for 2000. The Selling Entities will (i) prepare and timely file with each applicable tax or revenue service, taxing authority, or taxing tribunal (where the Acquired Assets are subject to Tax) Tax Returns which include all income, gains, losses, deductions and credits attributable to the Acquired Assets for the period or periods up to but not including the Closing Date and (ii) make timely payments of, and indemnify and hold Bentley harmless from and against, all Taxes required to be reflected on such Tax Returns. Bentley will (A) prepare and timely file with each applicable tax or revenue service, taxing authority, or taxing tribunal (where the Acquired Assets are subject to Tax) Tax Returns which include all income, gains, losses, deductions and credits attributable to the Acquired Assets for the period on or after the Closing Date and (B) make timely payments of, and indemnify and hold the Selling Entities harmless from and against, all Taxes required to be reflected on such Tax Returns. (b) Transaction Taxes. (i) Liability, Indemnification and Payment. (A) If, contrary to the considered judgment of the parties as set forth in Section 11.12(b)(ii) below, any sales and use taxes are imposed by any taxing authority, tax or revenue service, or tax tribunal within the State of Alabama (the "Alabama Sales and Use Taxes"), the party upon which such Alabama Sales and Use Taxes are legally imposed shall pay such sales and use taxes and any related interest, penalty, etc. to the applicable taxing authority and the other party -56-
shall promptly pay to, indemnify and hold the paying party harmless from and against 50% of such Alabama Sales and Use Taxes and any related interest, penalty, etc. (B) similarly, the parties shall each indemnify one another against 50% of all other Transaction Taxes ("Other Transaction Taxes"). (C) In every case where a payment of Transaction Taxes is required to be made directly by the indemnitee to the relevant taxing authority, (i) the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnitee the amount of such Transaction Taxes which are required to be paid by the indemnitee within thirty (30) days of the date that the indemnitee furnishes the indemnifying party with written notice and documentation proving that such Transaction Taxes are due and payable by the indemnitee to the applicable taxing authority and (ii) such amount shall bear interest at the Prime Rate if not paid within such thirty (30) day period. In this regard, Transaction Taxes shall not be deemed to be due and payable by the indemnitee during any period in which such Transaction Taxes may legally be contested without advance payment, unless the indemnifying party requests the indemnitee to make payment of such Transaction Taxes. (ii) Planning and Cooperation. Each of the Selling Entities and Bentley (A) believe, based on their separate and independent research, that each of the transfers provided for in this Agreement are transfers of a business as a going concern, if and to the extent allowable under applicable Legislative Enactments with respect to value added taxes ("VAT"), (B) believe, based on their separate and independent research, that each of the transfers provided for in this Agreement qualify as transfers that are exempt from Alabama Sales and Use Taxes, based on the casual sale and other allowable exemptions, and (C) shall act in a manner consistent with the foregoing. In the event that there is any assertion or determination that VAT, Alabama Sales and Use Tax, or Other Transaction Tax applies or may apply in connection with any transactions under this Agreement, or in connection with any transactions under this Agreement as to which any type of Other Transaction Tax does or may apply, Bentley and the applicable Selling Entities shall, in consultation and cooperation with each other and on a timely basis and commercially reasonable basis, give such notices, make such filings and requests, adopt such reporting positions, provide such information, and appear before such tax or revenue service, taxing authority, or taxing tribunal as are required, desirable, or reasonably requested by the other party, in an effort to maintain that such transfers are exempt or otherwise outside the scope of VAT, the Alabama Sales and Use Tax, or Other Transaction Taxes (as the case may be), in order to obtain or perfect an exemption of such transactions from VAT, the Alabama Sales and Use Tax, or Other Transaction Taxes (as the case may be), in order to obtain a reduction in rates for VAT applicable to such transactions, or in order to obtain a recovery of any VAT, Alabama Sales and Use Tax, or Other Transaction Tax (as the case may be) paid with respect to such transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.12(b)(ii) to the contrary, however, no party (the "first party") shall be required to take any action requested by the other party (the "requesting party") which results or could reasonably result in an increase in the amount of Taxes or Transaction Taxes imposed upon the first party or its Affiliates, unless the requesting party agree to indemnify the first party and its Affiliates for the amount of any -57-
such increase in Taxes or Transaction Taxes. Further, no party will be required to take any action requested by the other party that is not based on accepted tax practice and the legal requirements regarding the Transaction Tax involved.

Name: The name of the corporation shall be Geopak Corporation." Except for such amendment, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter continue in full force and effect as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until altered or amended as provided therein or by applicable law. 2.3 By-laws.

(a) At the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock other than Company Common Stock owned by Bentley shall be converted into the right to receive following (the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"): - 7 -
(i) cash in an amount equal to $8,000,000; (ii) 35,000 shares of Bentley's Class C Senior Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the Joinder to the Securities Purchase Agreement; (iii) 480,000 shares of Bentley's Class D Non-Voting Common Stock; and (iv) warrants to purchase 485,333 shares of Bentley's Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the Joinder to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(c) At the Effective Time, each of the then outstanding options held by Company employees to purchase Company Common Stock shall by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Bentley and converted into an option to purchase, under Bentley's 1997 Stock Option Plan, that number of shares of Bentley Class B Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option at the Effective Time by 1.4667, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by 1.4667. If the foregoing calculation results in an option being exercisable for a fraction of a share of Bentley Class B Common Stock, then the number of shares of Bentley Class B Common Stock subject to such option shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or imply any obligation on the part of Bentley, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to provide any continuing employment right to any individual. - 25 -
8.2 Tax Matters. (a) Bentley shall cause the Company to prepare and file all Returns required by law of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the "PRE-CLOSING PERIODS") and the Stockholders shall be responsible for, and indemnify Bentley against, the payment of all income, franchise or similar Taxes of the Company attributable to such periods, whenever incurred or assessed, in excess of the amounts reflected for Tax liabilities in the Financial Statements or, in the case of Taxes accruing after the periods covered by the Financial Statements, to the extent such Taxes were not incurred in the ordinary course of business. (b) The Returns for the Pre-Closing Periods shall be made available to the Stockholders no less than 21 calendar days prior to the filing thereof with the appropriate Governmental Authority for review by the Stockholders. From and after the Closing Date, Bentley and the Company, on the one hand, and the Stockholders, on the other hand, shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested, all information, records or documents relating to the Tax liabilities of the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and will preserve such information, records or documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

The Stockholders shall have the sole right to conduct any tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to a potential liability for such taxes and shall bear all costs and expenses of such audit or examination. Bentley shall not settle any tax claim for which the Stockholders may be liable without prior written consent of Stockholders which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Neither Bentley nor the Stockholders shall take any action, and Bentley shall cause the Company to refrain from taking any action, that would adversely affect the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code. 8.3 Non-Competition. (a) As an inducement to Bentley, and recognizing that Bentley would not have entered into this Agreement and the Collateral Documents without the Non-Competition Covenants, no Stockholder nor any Affiliate thereof shall, directly or indirectly, until two (2) years from the Closing Date: (i) engage, anywhere in the Territory, in developing, publishing, marketing, selling or supporting software useful in any civil engineering market (including, without limitation, the transportation, road, bridge, site and subdivision development, and survey and structures markets) that is substantially similar to or in competition with any software product offered by Bentley, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates (collectively, the "Bentley Entities") or planned to be offered by any Bentley Entity, or to - 26 -
provide anywhere in the Territory any service substantially similar to or in competition with any service offered by any Bentley Entity; (ii) be or become a shareholder, director, partner, owner, officer, employee or agent of, or consultant to, or give financial or other assistance to, Autodesk, Inc. or Intergraph Corporation or any other Person engaged in, or considering in engaging in, any such activities other than the Bentley Entities following the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit such Stockholder from owning, as a passive investor, up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any corporation so engaged; (iii) seek, in competition with the Bentley Entities, to procure orders from, purchase any product from or do business with, any customer or supplier thereof; (iv) solicit, or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, an employee of the Bentley Entities; (v) seek to contract with or engage (in such a way as to adversely affect or interfere with the Bentley Entities) any Person who has been contracted with or engaged to manufacture, assemble, supply or deliver products, goods, materials or services to the Bentley Entities; or (vi) engage in or participate in any effort or act to induce any of the customers, associates, consultants, partners, or employees of the Bentley Entities to take any action which might be disadvantageous to the Bentley Entities. The foregoing covenants are collectively referred to herein as the "NON-COMPETITION COVENANTS." (b) Each of the Stockholders agrees that a violation of any of the Non-Competition Covenants will cause irreparable damage to the Bentley Entities and that it is and will be impossible to estimate or determine the damage that will be suffered by the Bentley Entities in the event of a breach by a Stockholder of any such covenant. Therefore, each Stockholder further agrees that the Bentley Entities and/or any non-violating Stockholder shall be entitled to an injunction out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any further violation of such covenant or covenants by such Stockholder, his or her employer, employees, partners, agents or other associates, or any of them, such right to an injunction to be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Bentley Entities may have. (c) The invalidity of any one or more of the provisions contained in this Section 8.3 shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Section shall be invalid, this Section shall be construed as if such provision had not been inserted, and if such invalidity should be caused by the length of any period of time or the size of any area set forth in this Section, such period of time or such area, or both, shall, without need of further action by any party hereto, be deemed to be reduced to a period or area that will cure such invalidity. - 27 -

Section 9.3 Procedure. -24-
(a) A party with the obligation to indemnify under Section 9.1 or 9.2 is hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnifying Party". A party indemnified under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnified Party. " (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any claim, action, or proceeding with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder (a "Claim"), such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of his or its obligations under this Section with respect to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Claim arises out of a claim, action or proceeding made or commenced by a third party against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will promptly assume the defense of such Claim, will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly (but in any event not later than 20 days following of receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party) and fully assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the amount of any settlement and all related expenses. Section 9.4 Limitations. The following limitations shall apply to the foregoing indemnification obligations: (a) All claims for indemnification arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty shall be made on or before the expiration date of the applicable survival period for such representation or warranty; (b) All claim for indemnification arising out of the failure to perform an obligation required to be performed under this Agreement shall be made on or before the third anniversary of the date when such agreement was to be performed and completed; and (c) Neither Bentley, the Stockholders nor Innovatech shall be entitled to indemnification on account of breach or inaccuracy of representations or warranties until the aggregate amount of their respective claims exceeds CDN$275,000 (the "Threshold") but only to the extent that such claims exceed the Threshold. No Threshold shall apply with respect to the representations made in Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.6 and 7.7(a) and (b) and Section 8.1(b). The Threshold shall be reduced by the full amount of any shortfalls, if any, in the Canadian tax credits realized by HMR below the amounts reflected in its financial statements. (d) In measuring Bentley's damages, account shall be taken of Bentley's 25% ownership of HMR's Class A shares prior to the Closing. (e) The liability of an Indemnifying Party (other than Bentley and Newco) shall be limited to the portion of the applicable Purchase Price received by each such Indemnifying Party. (f) A Stockholder's or Innovatech's indemnification obligation may, at its or his election, be satisfied by delivery of shares of Buyer Stock or Exchangeable Shares, as -25-
the case may be, having a fair market value equal to the amount of the indemnification obligation. For purposes of this paragraph only, the fair market value of shares of Buyer Stock or Exchangeable Shares as the case may be, shall be the then fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by Bentley's Board of Directors but not less than US$14.58 per share of Buyer Stock or Exchangeable Shares, as applicable (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events).

Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(c) hereof shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Company in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Company to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend represented thereby.

3.3 The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Buyer Common Stock provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day, it shall be the immediately following Business Day. 3.4 If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof the dividends are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.

The restrictions in Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b), 4.1(c) and 4.1(d) above shall not apply if all dividends on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends declared following the initial date of issue of Exchangeable Shares on the Buyer Common Stock shall have been declared on the Exchangeable Shares and paid in full. -5-
ARTICLE 5 DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION 5.1 In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the Company in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date (the "LIQUIDATION DATE") of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Company among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, one (1) share of Buyer Common Stock, plus an amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends on each such Exchangeable Share and all dividends declared on Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions (collectively the "LIQUIDATION AMOUNT"), provided that if the record date for any such declared and unpaid dividends occurs on or after the Liquidation Date, the Liquidation Amount shall not include such additional amount equivalent to such dividends. 5.2 On or after the Liquidation Date and subject to the exercise by QuebecCo of the Liquidation Call Right, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company) for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Company Law and the by-laws of the Company and such additional documents and instruments as the Company may reasonably require, at any office and in any manner whatsoever as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by the Company, or on behalf of the Company by an authorized agent, by delivery to each holder at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company or by holding for pick up by the holder at any office as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, certificates representing shares of Buyer Common Stock (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) registered in the name of the holder and a cheque of the Company payable at par and in U.S. dollars at any branch of the bankers of the Company in respect of the amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends and all dividends declared on shares of Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions comprising part of the total Liquidation Amount (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company) without interest. On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time on or after the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Liquidation Amount in respect of -6-
the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof with an authorized agent of the Company including, without limitation, any chartered bank or trust company in Canada. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount so deposited (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) without interest for such Exchangeable Shares against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. In the event such payment or deposit of the total Liquidation Amount is made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holders of the Buyer Common Stock delivered to them. To the extent that the amount of tax required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder of Exchangeable Shares exceeds the cash portion of such payment, the Company is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value such portion of the property then payable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Company in order to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Company shall give an accounting to the holder with respect thereto and any balance of such proceeds of sale. 5.3 After the Company has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to Section 5.1 of these share provisions, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Company. ARTICLE 6 RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY HOLDER 6.1 A holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, subject to applicable law and subject to the exercise by QuebecCo of the Retraction Call Right, to require the Company, on no more than two occasions for any one holder, to redeem all or a portion, of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for one (1) share of Buyer Common Stock for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered by the holder, plus an amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and all dividends declared on Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions (collectively the "RETRACTION PRICE"), provided that if the record date for any such declared and unpaid dividends occurs on or after the Retraction Date, the Retraction Price shall not include such additional amount equivalent to such dividends. To effect such retraction, the holder shall present and surrender, at the registered office of the Company or at any other office and in any manner whatsoever as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Company Law and the by-laws of the Company and such additional documents and instruments as the Company may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the "RETRACTION REQUEST") in the form of Schedule A hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Company: -7-
(a) specifying that the holder desires to have any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the "RETRACTED SHARES") redeemed by the Company; (b) stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Company redeem the Retracted Shares (the "RETRACTION DATE"), provided that the Retraction Date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the tenth Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company; and (c) acknowledging the Retraction Call Right in favour of QuebecCo. 6.2 Subject to the exercise by QuebecCo of the Retraction Call Right, upon receipt by the Company in the manner specified in Section 6.1 hereof of a certificate or certificates representing all of the Exchangeable Shares owned by the relevant holder, together with a duly executed and completed Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.6, the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date. 6.3 On the Retraction Date and subject to the exercise by QuebecCo of the Retraction Call Right, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for pick up by the holder at any office as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, by or on behalf of the Company, certificates representing the Buyer Common Stock (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) registered in the name of the holder and a cheque of the Company payable at par and in U.S. dollars at any branch of the bankers of the Company in respect of the additional amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends and all dividends declared on Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions comprising part of the total Retraction Price (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company) and delivery of such certificates and cheque by or on behalf of the Company, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total Retraction Price, to the extent that the same is represented by such share certificates and cheque (less any tax required and in fact deducted and withheld therefrom and remitted to the proper tax authority), unless such cheque is not paid on due presentation. To the extent that the amount of tax required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder of Exchangeable Shares exceeds the cash portion of such payment, the Company is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value such portion of the property then payable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Company in order to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and shall give an accounting to the holder with respect thereto and any balance of such proceeds of sale. -8-
6.4 On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive his proportionate part of the total Retraction Price, unless payment of the total Retraction Price shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of the total Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Company shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Buyer Common Stock delivered to it. 6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Company believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and provided that QuebecCo shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Company shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Company. In any case in which the redemption by the Company of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Company shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 6.2 of these share provisions on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Company, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. 6.6 A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Company before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to QuebecCo shall be deemed to have been revoked. ARTICLE 7 REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE COMPANY 7.1 Subject to (a) applicable law, (b) the exercise by QuebecCo of the Redemption Call Right and (c) the Put Right of the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Company shall on the Automatic Redemption Date redeem (the "AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION") the whole of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for one (1) share of Buyer Common Stock for each Exchangeable Share, plus an amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and all dividends declared on Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions (collectively the "REDEMPTION PRICE"), provided that if the record date for any such declared -9-
and unpaid dividends occurs on or after the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall not include such additional amount equivalent to such dividends. 7.2 In any case of any redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the Company shall, at least fifteen (15) days before the Automatic Redemption Date, send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed a notice in writing of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by QuebecCo under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder. Such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right. On the Automatic Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by QuebecCo of the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed at the Redemption Price (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company) for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Company Law and the by-laws of the Company and such additional documents and instruments as the Company may reasonably require, at any office and in any manner whatsoever as may be specified by the Company in such notice. Payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by the Company, or on behalf of the Company by an authorized agent, by delivery to each holder at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company or by holding for pick up by the holder at any office as may be specified by the Company in such notice, certificates representing shares of Buyer Common Stock (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) registered in the name of the holder and a cheque of the Company payable at par in U.S. dollars at any branch of the bankers of the Company in respect of the additional amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends and all dividends declared on Buyer Common Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of these share provisions comprising part of the total Redemption Price (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company) without interest. On and after the Automatic Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Redemption Price of the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, with an authorized agent of the Company including, without limitation, any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Automatic Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or Automatic Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving -10-
their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price so deposited (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom by the Company), without interest for such Exchangeable Shares against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. In the event such payment or deposit of the total Redemption Price is made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the shares of Buyer Common Stock delivered to them. To the extent that the amount of tax required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder of Exchangeable Shares exceeds the cash portion of such payment, the Company is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value such portion of the property then payable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Company in order to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and shall give an accounting to the holder with respect thereto and any balance of such proceeds of sale. ARTICLE 8 PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION 8.1 Subject to applicable law and the articles of the Company, the Company may at any time and from time to time offer to purchase for cancellation all or any part of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at any price by tender to all the holders of record of Exchangeable Shares then outstanding at any price per share together with an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If in response to an invitation for tenders under the provisions of this Section 8.1, more Exchangeable Shares are tendered at a price or prices acceptable to the Company than the Company is prepared to purchase, the Exchangeable Shares to be purchased by the Company shall be purchased as nearly as may be pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each holder who submits a tender to the Company, provided that when shares are tendered at different prices, the pro rating shall be effected (disregarding fractions) only with respect to the shares tendered at the price at which more shares were tendered than the Company is prepared to purchase after the Company has purchased all the shares tendered at lower prices. If part only of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate shall be purchased, a new certificate for the balance of such shares shall be issued at the expense of the Company. ARTICLE 9 VOTING RIGHTS 9.1 Except as required by applicable law and the provisions of Sections 10 and 12.2, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or to vote at any such meeting. -11-

ANNEX D 1. QUEBECCO LIQUIDATION CALL RIGHTS 1.1 QuebecCo shall have the overriding right (the "LIQUIDATION CALL RIGHT"), in the event of and notwithstanding the proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newco pursuant to Article 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, to purchase all but not less than all of the Exchangeable Shares held by each such holder which shall be satisfied in full by causing to be delivered to such holder one share of Buyer Stock plus an amount equivalent to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends on such Exchangeable Share and all dividends declared on Buyer Stock which have not been declared on such Exchangeable Share in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions (collectively the "LIQUIDATION CALL PURCHASE PRICE"), provided that if the record date for any such declared and unpaid dividends occurs on or after the Liquidation Date, the Liquidation Call Purchase Price shall not include such additional amount equivalent to such dividends. In the event of the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right by QuebecCo, each holder shall be obligated to sell all the Exchangeable Shares held by the holder to QuebecCo on the Liquidation Date on payment by QuebecCo to the holder of the Liquidation Call Purchase Price for each such Exchangeable Share; 1.2 To exercise the Liquidation Call Right, QuebecCo must notify Newco and the Stockholders of QuebecCo's intention to exercise such right at least 20 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newco and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newco. Newco or an authorized agent will notify the holders of Exchangeable Shares as to whether or not QuebecCo has exercised the Liquidation Call Right forthwith after the expiry of the period during which the same may be exercised by QuebecCo.

In the event that Purchaser exercises the Call Right or the Company exercises the Put Right, the per share purchase price for the Remaining Shares shall equal an amount (the "Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount") equal to ((A x B) + C) x D / E, where "A" is the initial public offering price per share of Purchaser common stock in the Purchaser IPO times the total number of shares of common stock of Purchaser outstanding on a - 4 -
fully diluted basis (determined using the treasury method) immediately following the consummation of the Purchaser IPO (including the Purchaser Shares (as defined below)), where "B" is a fraction obtained by dividing (y) the Company's Revenues (as defined in Section 11.16) for the trailing four full quarters before the Purchaser IPO by (z) the sum of Purchaser's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the Purchaser IPO plus the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the Purchaser IPO, where "C" is an amount equal to the aggregate amount that would have been paid to the Company in cash upon the exercise of Company Options (as defined below) that are Assumed Options (as defined below) on the Subsequent Closing Date, where "D" is the percentage of Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below but excluding Out-of-Money Company Options as defined below) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser (the "Acquired Percentage"), and where "E" is the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding Out-of-Money Company Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser. "Out-of-Money Company Options" are Company Options with an exercise price greater than (e) the percentage of the Fully Diluted Shares of the Company on the date of the Call Right Notice (as defined below) or the Put Right Notice (as defined below), as applicable, that are not owned by Purchaser, multiplied by (f) the sum of (1) "A" x "B" as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph (except that "A" and "B" shall be calculated based upon information in the preliminary prospectus related to the Purchaser IPO, including using the middle of the proposed range for the initial public offering price per share of Purchaser common stock in the Purchaser IPO and Revenue information concerning each party if such Revenue information is reported in such preliminary prospectus) plus (2) the aggregate amount that would result from the exercise of all Company Options outstanding on the date of the Call Right Notice or Put Right Notice, as applicable, divided by (g) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares outstanding on the date of the Call Right Notice or the Put Right Notice, as applicable. The "Remaining Shares Purchase Amount" shall equal the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount times the total number of shares outstanding of the Company (not including shares underlying Company Options) on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the product of "A" x "B" in the first sentence of this paragraph equal less than two times the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters immediately prior to the Purchaser IPO. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the prospectus used in the Purchaser IPO does not include any historical or pro-forma financial disclosure about the Company, then clause (z) above, which is used in the calculation of "B" in the first sentence of this paragraph, shall equal Purchaser's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the Purchaser IPO. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying Company Options plus the maximum number of shares issued upon exercise of Company Options between the Initial Closing Date and the Subsequent Closing Date that may be taken account of in the calculation of the Acquired Percentage shall not be higher than three million five hundred thirteen thousand five hundred twenty-four (3,513,524) minus the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the Measuring Date. In addition, after the expiration of any over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the Purchaser IPO, if the underwriters exercised such over-allotment option, to the extent the shares of Purchaser common stock issued upon exercise of such over-allotment option were not taken account of in the calculation of "A" in the first sentence of this paragraph at the Subsequent Closing Date, the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount calculated at the Subsequent Closing Date shall be re-calculated such that "A" in such recalculation takes - 5 -
account of the shares of Purchaser common stock issued upon exercise of such over-allotment option that were not taken account of in the calculation of "A" at the Subsequent Closing Date, and the positive difference between the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount as calculated pursuant to this sentence and as calculated on the Subsequent Closing Date shall be distributed to the former shareholders of the Company. The "Measuring Date" shall be the date that is the earlier to occur of (A) the ninety-first (91st) day after the Initial Closing Date; or (B) the first day after the date on which the Company informs Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof that the Company Repurchase is complete. The Remaining Shares Purchase Amount shall be paid in a combination of cash and shares of Purchaser common stock (valued at the public offering price per share in the Purchaser IPO) (the "Purchaser Shares"), such that the cash paid by Purchaser shall equal seventy percent (70%) of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount. The balance of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount shall be payable in Purchaser Shares. The Purchaser Shares shall have registration rights pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Purchaser Shares Registration Rights Agreement"). On the Subsequent Closing Date (as defined below), each outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock held by Purchaser and dissenting shares of Company Common Stock) shall be converted into the right to receive the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount (less the pro rata portion of the fee due to SEG), with each share being converted into the same combination of Purchaser Shares and cash. Company Options shall be treated as set forth in Section 1.03(i)(A) hereof. (e) Additional Call Right. On or after one hundred eighty (180) days following the Initial Closing Date, in addition to the Call Right, Purchaser shall have an option (the "Additional Call Right"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the party entitled to waive the same of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, to cause the Company and the Shareholders to enter into the Agreement of Merger. In the event that Purchaser exercises the Additional Call Right, the per share purchase price for the Remaining Shares and the Company Options (excluding Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options (as defined below)) (the "Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount") shall equal (i) the percentage of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser multiplied by (ii) the sum of (A) two times the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters at the time of such exercise plus (B) the aggregate amount that would have been paid to the Company in cash upon the exercise of Company Options outstanding on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options divided by (iii) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser. The "Additional Call Right Purchase Amount" shall equal (a) the Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount multiplied by the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not owned by Purchaser minus (b) the aggregate amount that would have been paid to the Company in cash upon the exercise of Company Options outstanding on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options. The Additional Call Right Purchase Amount shall be payable, at the option of Purchaser, in cash at the Subsequent Closing (as defined below), or at least one-third in cash at the Subsequent Closing and the remainder in the form of promissory notes of Purchaser in the - 6 -
form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Purchaser Promissory Notes"). Company Options shall be treated as set forth in Section 1.03(i)(B) hereof. The Purchaser Promissory Notes will be dated the date of the Subsequent Closing and will be payable in cash to each shareholder of the Company (other than Purchaser and dissenting shareholders) in two equal annual installments for the remaining amount of the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount payable to each such shareholder of the Company, the first such installment to be payable one year after the Subsequent Closing. The Purchaser Promissory Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to the interest rate in effect from time to time under any revolving credit facility of Purchaser in excess of $5,000,000 or, if Purchaser does not have such a revolving credit facility, at a rate equal to the annual prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus one percent (1%). The Purchaser Promissory Notes shall further provide that the installment payments shall accelerate and become immediately due and payable (A) upon the consummation of the Purchaser IPO, (B) upon the consummation of a sale by Purchaser of its equity securities for cash, provided that the accelerated amount will be limited to the net proceeds that are not to be used to redeem any securities of Purchaser outstanding on the Initial Closing Date or (C) upon the consummation of a sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock or assets of Purchaser or a merger or similar reorganization of Purchaser that results in Purchaser's shareholders immediately prior to such transaction holding less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving, continuing or purchasing entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Purchaser exercises the Additional Call Right and so acquires the Remaining Shares, if a Purchaser IPO is consummated prior to twelve (12) months after the Termination Date in effect at the time Purchaser exercises the Additional Call Right, the shareholders of the Company that sell the Remaining Shares to Purchaser and the holders of Company Options outstanding on the Subsequent Closing Date that are not Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser, on the date the Purchaser IPO is consummated, for each such Remaining Share or each share underlying such Company Options that are not Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options held by such holders, additional consideration in cash (the "Additional Call Right Look Back") equal to the excess, if any, net of fees due to SEG equal to five and one-half percent (5 -1/2%) of such excess, which shall also be deducted from the Additional Call Right Look Back and paid by Purchaser on behalf of such holders to SEG on the date the Purchaser IPO is consummated, of the Alternate Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount (as defined below) over the Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount. The "Alternate Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount" is equal to ((A x B) + C) x D/E, where "A" is the initial public offering price per share of Purchaser common stock in the Purchaser IPO multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock of Purchaser outstanding on a fully diluted basis (determined using the treasury method) immediately following the consummation of the Purchaser IPO, where "B" is a fraction obtained by dividing (y) the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the exercise of the Additional Call Right by (z) the sum of Purchaser's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the exercise of the Additional Call Right plus the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters before the exercise of the Additional Call Right, where "C" is the aggregate amount that would have been paid to the Company in cash upon the exercise of Company Options outstanding on the Subsequent Closing Date that were not Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options, where "D" is the percentage of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that were not owned by Purchaser, and where "E" is the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (excluding - 7 -
Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options) of the Company on the Subsequent Closing Date that were not owned by Purchaser. In addition, after the expiration of any over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the Purchaser IPO, if the underwriters exercised such over-allotment option, to the extent the shares of Purchaser common stock issued upon exercise of such over-allotment option were not taken account of in the calculation of "A" in the immediately preceding sentence, the Alternate Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount shall be re-calculated such that "A" in such recalculation takes account of the shares of Purchaser common stock issued upon exercise of such over-allotment option that were not taken account of in the initial calculation of "A," and the positive difference between the Alternate Additional Call Right Per Share Purchase Amount as calculated pursuant to this sentence and as initially calculated shall be distributed to the former shareholders of the Company. "Additional Call Right Out-of-Money Options" are Company Options outstanding on the date of the Additional Call Right Notice (as defined below) with an exercise price greater than (e) the percentage of the Fully Diluted Shares of the Company on the date of the Additional Call Right Notice that are not owned by Purchaser, multiplied by (f) the sum of (1) two times the Company's Revenues for the trailing four full quarters at the time of the exercise of the Additional Call Right plus (2) the aggregate amount that would result from the exercise of all Company Options outstanding on the date of the Additional Call Right Notice, divided by (g) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares of the Company outstanding on the date of the Additional Call Right Notice. (f) Rights After the Termination Date. (i) In the event that the Company does not elect to extend the Termination Date to December 31, 2003 as provided in Section 1.03(b), and the Call Right, the Put Right and the Additional Call Right expire unexercised, the Company shall have an option, subject to Section 1.03(f)(ii) below, exercisable prior to the consummation of a Company Liquidity Event (as defined below) or a Company IPO (as defined below) and no later than three years after the Termination Date, to repurchase the Purchaser Preferred Shares from Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have an option, exercisable within 90 days after the Termination Date, to sell the Purchaser Preferred Shares to the Company, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, and encumbrances other than those imposed by or through the Company, for an aggregate price equal to Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), payable in cash or pursuant to the terms of the First Company Promissory Note (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Call Right, the Put Right and the Additional Call Right expire unexercised after the consummation of the Purchaser IPO, Purchaser shall not have such option to sell the Purchaser Preferred Shares to the Company. In the event that the Company elects to extend the Termination Date to December 31, 2003 as provided in Section 1.03(b), and the Call Right, the Put Right and the Additional Call Right expire unexercised, the Company shall have an option, exercisable within three years after the Termination Date, to repurchase the Purchaser Preferred Shares from Purchaser for an aggregate price equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), payable in cash or pursuant to the terms of the First Company Promissory Note. (ii) The Company may exercise its option to repurchase the Purchaser Preferred Shares referred to in Section 1.03(f)(i), in whole or in part from time to time during the period set forth in subsection (f)(i) above (the "Repurchased Preferred Shares"); provided that partial exercises shall be for not less than 125,483 shares of the Purchaser Preferred Shares. In the event that Purchaser exercises its option referred to in Section 1.03(f)(i) to sell the Purchaser - 8 -
Preferred Shares to the Company or the Company exercises its option referred to in Section 1.03(f)(i) to repurchase such shares, the Company may pay for the Purchaser Preferred Shares in three equal annual installments, pursuant to the terms of a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "First Company Promissory Note"). The First Company Promissory Note will be dated the date of the closing of such sale and will provide that the first installment will be due in cash on the first anniversary of the closing of such sale. The First Company Promissory Note shall further provide that all such installments shall accelerate and become immediately due upon completion of a Company Liquidity Event. "Company Liquidity Event" means a sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock or assets of the Company or a merger of the Company that results in the Company's shareholders immediately prior to such transaction holding less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving, continuing or purchasing entity. (iii) In the event that the Call Right, the Put Right and the Additional Call Right expire unexercised and the Company exercises its option to repurchase the Purchaser Preferred Shares from Purchaser under Section 1.03(f)(i) (but not if Purchaser exercises its option under Section 1.03(f)(i) to sell the Purchaser Preferred Shares to the Company) and within one year after the closing of any such repurchase there is a Company Liquidity Event or an initial public offering of equity securities of the Company (a "Company IPO") that is not a Company Liquidity Event, Purchaser shall be entitled to be paid additional consideration, if any, equal to the Look-Back Amount. The "Look-Back Amount" shall be equal to the positive difference between the consideration payable to Purchaser as a result of such repurchase and (A) in the case of a Company Liquidity Event in which the valuation of the Company upon which the Company Liquidity Event was based exceeded $28,000,000, the consideration Purchaser would have been entitled to if it had disposed of the Repurchased Preferred Shares (or shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Repurchased Preferred Shares) in such Company Liquidity Event, or (B) in the case of a Company IPO that is not a Company Liquidity Event, in which the aggregate valuation of the Company (based upon the market capitalization of the Company immediately following the Company IPO) exceeds $28,000,000, the value of the Repurchased Preferred Shares (on an as converted basis) at the Company IPO price per share; provided, however, that in no event shall the total amount paid for the Repurchased Preferred Shares (including the Look-Back Amount and any prior payments made for the Repurchased Preferred Shares) exceed $5,000,000. (iv) Any closing under this Section 1.03(f) shall take place on the date that is 30 days after written notice of the exercise of an option under Section 1.03(f) has been delivered pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof by the exercising party to the other party, and such closing shall take place at the offices of Dechert, 4000 Bell Atlantic Tower, 1717 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, at 10:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, or at such other location, date and time as may be agreed upon between Purchaser and the Company. (g) Exercise of Call Right, Put Right and Additional Call Right. (i) Exercise of Call Right and Put Right. Purchaser shall deliver to the Company written notice pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof of its intention to exercise (such notice, the "Call Right Notice") or not to exercise (such notice, the "Declining Notice") the Call Right not more than 5 days after the initial filing by Purchaser under the Securities Act with the - 9 -
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a registration statement for the Purchaser IPO (the date of such initial filing, the "Initial Filing Date"). The closing in connection with the Call Right shall be subject to the consummation of the Purchaser IPO and the satisfaction of or waiver by the party entitled to waive the same of the conditions set forth in Article V and Article VI hereof. If the Company intends to exercise the Put Right, it shall deliver to Purchaser written notice pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof (the "Put Right Notice") of such intention not more than 20 days after the Company's receipt of the Declining Notice, after which 20 day period, the Put Right shall automatically terminate. The closing in connection with the Put Right shall be subject to the consummation of the Purchaser IPO and the satisfaction of or waiver by the party entitled to waive the same of the conditions set forth in Article V and Article VI hereof. Within twenty (20) days after the date of the Call Right Notice or the Put Right Notice, as applicable, provided that a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) does not exist, the Company shall convene a meeting or obtain the consent of the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of approving the Agreement of Merger and the Merger. (ii) Exercise of the Additional Call Right. The Additional Call Right may be exercised by Purchaser at any time on or after one hundred eighty (180) days following the Initial Closing Date by written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof (the "Additional Call Right Notice"). (h) Subsequent Closing; Escrow; Additional Purchaser Right. (i) Provided that Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, shall have exercised the Call Right or the Put Right, as the case may be, the closing with respect to the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right shall take place at the offices of Dechert, 4000 Bell Atlantic Tower, 1717 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, at 10:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, after the conditions set forth in Article V and Article VI hereof are satisfied or waived by the party entitled to waive the same concurrently with the closing of the Purchaser IPO or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, at Purchaser's option. Provided that Purchaser shall have exercised the Additional Call Right, the closing with respect to the Additional Call Right shall take place at such offices of Dechert at 10:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, five (5) business days after the date on which all the conditions set forth in Article V and Article VI hereof with respect to the Additional Call Right have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to waive the same, or at such other location, date and time as may be agreed upon between Purchaser and the Company. The closing related to the exercise of the Call Right, the Put Right or the Additional Call Right shall be referred to as the "Subsequent Closing," and the date and time of the Subsequent Closing shall be referred to as the "Subsequent Closing Date." (ii) At the Subsequent Closing in connection with the exercise of the Put Right, Call Right or the Additional Call Right, the Company and the Shareholders shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate dated the Subsequent Closing Date and signed by the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and by each Shareholder certifying that, subject to the updated disclosure schedules related to such representations and warranties delivered by the Company and the Shareholders concurrently with the delivery of such certificate and attached to such certificate, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders contained in this Agreement not qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects, and the representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality shall be true - 10 -
and correct in all respects, in each case as of the Subsequent Closing Date as if made on and as of the Subsequent Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date). Notwithstanding the fact that a representation and warranty of the Company and the Shareholders delivered on the Initial Closing Date was not made subject to any disclosure set forth on a disclosure schedule, the Company and the Shareholders shall be permitted to deliver such a disclosure schedule in connection with such representation and warranty at the Subsequent Closing, and in no event shall the mere addition of any such updated disclosure at the Subsequent Closing give rise to any liability for a breach of representation or warranty on the part of the Company or the Shareholders pursuant to Article X hereof. To the extent that there is a balance sheet of any Joint Venture dated as of a date reasonably close to the Subsequent Closing Date and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, the Company may deliver and represent and warrant the accuracy of such balance sheet in lieu of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.06(d) hereof. (iii) At the Subsequent Closing in connection with the exercise of the Additional Call Right, if Purchaser elects to pay a portion of the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount pursuant to the Purchaser Promissory Notes, Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a certificate dated the Subsequent Closing Date and signed by an authorized officer of Purchaser certifying that, subject to the updated disclosure schedules to such representations and warranties delivered by Purchaser concurrently with the delivery of such certificate and attached to such certificate, the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement not qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects, and the representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all respects, in each case as of the Subsequent Closing Date as if made on and as of the Subsequent Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date). Notwithstanding the fact that a representation and warranty of Purchaser delivered on the Initial Closing Date was not made subject to any disclosure set forth on a disclosure schedule, Purchaser shall be permitted to deliver such a disclosure schedule in connection with such representation and warranty at the Subsequent Closing, and in no event shall the mere addition of any such updated disclosure at the Subsequent Closing give rise to any liability for a breach of representation or warranty on the part of Purchaser pursuant to Article X hereof. (iv) At the Subsequent Closing, subject to Section 7.12(c) hereof, Purchaser shall deliver the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount or the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Merger; provided, however, that subject to Section 1.03(i) hereof, in full payment of the fee then due to SEG, the Company and the Shareholders direct that five and one-half percent (5 -1/2%) of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount or the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount, as applicable, shall be paid on their behalf to SEG out of the cash portion of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount or the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Subsequent Closing is the result of the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Company (the "Escrow Agent") that number of Purchaser Shares having a - 11 -
value (measured at the initial public offering price per share of Purchaser common stock in the Purchaser IPO) equal to ten percent (10%) of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount (all of which Purchaser Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount shall be Purchaser Shares to be delivered to the Shareholders as part of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount, and the number of such Purchaser Shares of each Shareholder to be deposited shall be based upon such Shareholder's ownership percentage of shares of Company Common Stock on the Initial Closing Date) to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the "Escrow Agreement"); provided further, however, that if the Subsequent Closing is the result of the exercise of the Additional Call Right, and Purchaser elects to pay the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount in cash at the Subsequent Closing rather than one-third in cash at the Subsequent Closing and the remainder pursuant to Purchaser Promissory Notes, Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent an amount of cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount (all of which cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount shall be cash to be paid to the Shareholders as part of the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount, and the amount of cash from each Shareholder to be deposited shall be based upon such Shareholder's ownership percentage of shares of Company Common Stock on the Initial Closing Date) to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. (v) In the event that the Call Right, the Put Right or the Additional Call Right is properly exercised, and all the conditions set forth in Article V or Article VI hereof (except for Section 6.01(c)(ii)) have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to waive the same, and the shareholders of the Company do not duly adopt and approve by the requisite vote the Agreement of Merger and the Merger, Purchaser shall have an option, exercisable within ninety (90) days after the date on which the vote of the shareholders of the Company concerning the adoption and approval of the Agreement of Merger and the Merger is taken, to sell the Purchaser Preferred Shares to the Company, for an aggregate price equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) plus interest accruing from the Initial Closing Date until such aggregate price has been paid in full at a rate equal to the annual prime rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus one percent (1%). In the event that Purchaser exercises its option to sell the Purchaser Preferred Shares referred to in this Section 1.03(h)(v), the Company may pay for the Purchaser Preferred Shares, at the Company's option, in a lump sum in cash or in three equal annual installments, with the first such installment due 30 days after such exercise and the second and third such installments due on each of the two subsequent yearly anniversaries thereafter, pursuant to the terms of a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Second Company Promissory Note"). The Second Company Promissory Note shall further provide that all such installments shall accelerate and become immediately due upon completion of a Company Liquidity Event. (i) Treatment of Company Stock Options at the Subsequent Closing. (A) At the Subsequent Closing in connection with the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, all Company Options pursuant to which the price per share that would be paid to the Company upon exercise is less than the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount (collectively, the "Assumed Options"), shall be assumed by Purchaser and shall thereafter constitute options to purchase shares of Purchaser's common stock. For purposes of this Agreement, any Company Option that the Company has promised to grant to individuals who are employees of the - 12 -
Company as of the Subsequent Closing shall have been granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Company Stock Option Plan") and shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under the outstanding Assumed Options shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to shares of common stock of Purchaser. Between the Initial Closing Date and the Subsequent Closing Date in connection with the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, the Company shall take appropriate actions to fully vest each Assumed Option effective immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing, except to the extent such accelerated vesting could result in the payment of any "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, from and after the Subsequent Closing, (i) each Assumed Option assumed by Purchaser may be exercised solely for shares of common stock of Purchaser, (ii) the number of shares of common stock of Purchaser subject to each Assumed Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing multiplied by the Conversion Rate (as defined below), multiplied by ninety-four and one-half percent (94 -1/2%), rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock of Purchaser, (iii) the per share exercise price for the shares of common stock of Purchaser issuable upon exercise of each such Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing, by the Conversion Rate, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent, and (iv) each such Assumed Option shall be subject to a Purchaser stock option plan, and the other terms of such Company Option shall remain unchanged; provided, however, that each such Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected by Purchaser after the Subsequent Closing. At the Subsequent Closing, Purchaser will pay SEG an additional fee with respect to each Assumed Option equal to five and one-half percent (5 1/2%) of the difference between (A) the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing minus (B) the aggregate exercise price of such Assumed Option. The Company and Purchaser shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Option Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.03(i). The "Conversion Rate" shall equal the Remaining Shares Per Share Purchase Amount divided by the initial public offering price per share of Purchaser common stock in the Purchaser IPO. Between the Initial Closing Date and the Subsequent Closing Date in connection with the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, the Company shall take appropriate actions to (i) fully vest each Out-of-Money Company Option, (ii) give the holder of each such Out-of-Money Company Option seven days after such vesting occurs to exercise the Out-of-Money Company Option, and (iii) provide for the expiration of each such Out-of-Money Company Option at the end of such seven-day period (the "Option Expiration Date"), which Option Expiration Date shall be at least fourteen days prior to the Subsequent Closing Date. The Company may permit holders of such Out-of-Money Company Options to make their exercise conditional on the occurrence of the Subsequent Closing, provided that written notice of any such conditional exercise is provided to the Company prior to the Option Expiration Date and is accompanied by the full price payable upon exercise in cash. At or prior to the Subsequent Closing Date in connection with the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for - 13 -
issuance a sufficient number of shares of common stock of Purchaser for delivery upon exercise of Assumed Options assumed by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 1.03(i). After a Subsequent Closing in connection with the exercise of the Call Right or the Put Right, Purchaser shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares underlying the Assumed Options at the same time that Purchaser does so in connection with any stock options issued prior to the Subsequent Closing under a Purchaser stock option plan and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.

To the knowledge of Purchaser after reasonable inquiry, there are no condemnation, environmental, zoning or other land use regulation proceedings, either instituted or planned to be instituted, which would adversely affect the use or operation of Purchaser's properties and assets for its intended uses and purposes, or the value of such and Purchaser has not received notice of any special assessment proceedings which would affect such properties and assets. Section 4.11. Proprietary Information of Third Parties. To the knowledge of Purchaser after reasonable inquiry, no third party has claimed or has reason to claim that any person employed by or affiliated with Purchaser has (a) breached or is breaching any of the terms or conditions of his or her employment, non-competition or non-disclosure agreement with such third party, (b) disclosed or is disclosing or utilized or is utilizing any trade secret or proprietary information or documentation of such third party or (c) interfered or is interfering in the employment relationship between such third party and any of its present or former employees. - 36 -

To the knowledge of Purchaser after reasonable inquiry, none of the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the current business of Purchaser, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a default under any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such person is obligated.

Purchaser understands that the Purchaser - 37 -
Preferred Shares have not been, and will not be when issued, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the representations of Purchaser as express herein. Section 4.16. Rule 144. Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(a) For purposes of this Section 10.03, a party against which indemnification be sought is referred to as an "Indemnifying Party" and a party which may be entitled to indemnification is referred to as the "Indemnified Party." An Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third party which is not an affiliate of any party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a "Third Party Claim"), and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to an Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided - 59 -
that (i) the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; and (iii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as the "Litigation Conditions"). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.03, the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 10.03, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Litigation Conditions cease to be met, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. (c) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. (d) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) which grants any injunctive or equitable relief, or (iii) which may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the affected business of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (e) The rights to indemnification of an Indemnified Party for breach of representation or warranty shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof; provided, however, that such obligations to defend and hold harmless under Sections 10.01 and 10.02 shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, prior to the expiration of the survival period referred to above, previously made a claim by delivering a notice stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. (f) Amounts payable in respect of indemnification obligations of the parties arising out of the purchase and sale of the Purchaser Preferred Shares shall be treated as an adjustment to the Initial Closing Payment. Amounts payable in respect of indemnification obligations of the parties arising out of the purchase and sale of the Remaining Shares shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate purchase price referred to in Section 1.03(d) or (e), as - 60 -
applicable. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Section 10.04. Limitations on Liability. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company, after the Initial Closing and until the Termination Date, shall not be liable to Purchaser under Section 10.01(a)(i) hereof unless the cumulative total of Damages under Section 10.01(a)(i) hereof exceeds $250,000 (the "Company Initial Closing Basket") whereupon Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.01 for all such Damages. The maximum liability of the Company to Purchaser for Damages under Section 10.01(a)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed $7,500,000. (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and after the occurrence of the Subsequent Closing Date, the Shareholders shall not be liable to the Purchaser under Section 10.01(a)(i) hereof unless the cumulative total of Damages under Section 10.01(a)(i) hereof exceeds $250,000 (including any Damages that have been cumulated in connection with the Company Initial Closing Basket) whereupon Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.01 for all such Damages. The maximum liability of the Shareholders in the aggregate to Purchaser for Damages under Section 10.01(a)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed $15,000,000. (c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser, after the Initial Closing and until the Termination Date, shall not be liable to the Company under Section 10.02(a)(i) hereof unless the cumulative total of Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) hereof exceeds $250,000 (the "Purchaser Initial Closing Basket") whereupon the Company shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.02 for all such Damages. The maximum liability of Purchaser to the Company for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed $7,500,000.

The maximum liability of Purchaser to the Shareholders for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed $15,000,000. (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (other than the sentence that immediately follows this sentence) to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of any Shareholder for Damages under Section 10.01(a)(i) hereof exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) any amount paid to such Shareholder in the Company Repurchase, (ii) the purchase price paid to such Shareholder at the Subsequent Closing for Remaining Shares held by such Shareholder, - 61 -
(iii) any amount paid to such Shareholder pursuant to the Additional Call Right Look Back, (iv) the purchase price at the Subsequent Closing for Remaining Shares held by any holder other than such Shareholder that were owned by such Shareholder on the Initial Closing Date and (v) any amount paid pursuant to the Additional Call Right Look Back to any holder of Remaining Shares other than such Shareholder that were owned by such Shareholder on the Initial Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event shall this Section 10.04(e) limit a Purchaser Indemnified Party's ability to recover for Damages under the Escrow Agreement. Section 10.05. Claims Related to Voting Agreements and Option Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company has fulfilled all of its agreements, covenants and obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, the Company has exercised reasonable efforts to achieve the adoption and approval by the requisite vote of the Company's shareholders of the Agreement of Merger and the Merger), the Company shall not be held liable to Purchaser for a breach by any Shareholder of such Shareholder's obligations under the Voting Agreement (including the proxy set forth therein) or Option Agreement entered into by such Shareholder. Section 10.06. Claims Against the Company. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shareholders agree that they shall not be entitled to any indemnification from, or to make or receive any amount for any claim against, the Company in respect of any Damage or Damages arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 10.07. Insurance. The amount due as indemnification with respect to any claim under this Article X shall take into account and shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance or indemnification proceeds actually paid by any third party in respect of the subject matter of such claim (after deducting all attorneys' fees, expenses and other costs of recovery); provided that the amounts of any increase in insurance premium or retroactive premiums or premium adjustments resulting from the making of a claim or claims against insurers shall, for this purpose, be deemed to be deducted from the amount so paid by such insurers. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS Section 11.01. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall bear the expenses incurred by that party incident to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants retained by such party, whether or not the transactions shall be consummated; provided, however, that if the transactions contemplated by the Subsequent Closing are completed, the Company agrees to assume the reasonable fees and expenses of a single law firm retained by the Company and the Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subsequent Closing up to an aggregate amount of $50,000. Section 11.02. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the - 62 -
Initial Closing and if there is no Subsequent Closing shall terminate on the Termination Date. In the event there is a Subsequent Closing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto in connection with the Subsequent Closing shall survive the Subsequent Closing and shall terminate on the date that is eighteen months after the Subsequent Closing Date. Section 11.03. Right of Co-Sale. (a) In the event that the Call Right, the Put Right and the Additional Call Right expire unexercised, and the Company has not exercised its option pursuant to Section 1.03(f)(i) to repurchase the Purchaser Preferred Shares, the holders of the Purchaser Preferred Shares shall have a right of co-sale to participate in any sale or series of related sales of capital stock of the Company in which a Shareholder participates that results in the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company by the Company or any shareholders of the Company on the terms set forth in this Section. For purposes of this Section, the Company and/or any shareholders of the Company who so sell, are defined as the "Selling Shareholders," and the holders of the Purchaser Preferred Shares are defined as the "Non-Selling Shareholders." (b) Notice of Proposed Transfer. A Shareholder that desires to participate in a sale or series of related sales set forth in Section 11.03(a) shall deliver to the Non-Selling Shareholders a written notice (the "Selling Shareholder Notice") stating: (i) the Selling Shareholder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer capital stock of the Company (the "Offered Shares"), (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (the "Proposed Transferee"), (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee, and (iv) the cash or other bona fide consideration for which the Selling Shareholder proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (the "Offered Price"). (c) Exercise of Rights of Co-Sale. At any time within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Selling Shareholder Notice, each of the Non-Selling Shareholders shall notify the Selling Shareholder in writing if such Non-Selling Shareholders elect to participate in the proposed transfer of Offered Shares. Each participating Non-Selling Shareholder shall then have the right to sell to the Proposed Transferee at the same price and on the same terms as the Selling Shareholder, an amount of shares equal to the number of Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock of the Company (assuming conversion of any securities convertible into common stock of the Company) held by such participating Non-Selling Shareholder and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of common stock of the Company (assuming conversion of any securities convertible into common stock of the Company) proposed to be transferred by all the participating Selling Shareholders. (d) Closing. The participating Non-Selling Shareholders shall enter into an agreement with the Proposed Transferee on terms and conditions identical, to the extent feasible, to the agreement entered into by the Selling Shareholders. To the extent that any Proposed Transferee refuses to enter into an agreement with any participating Non-Selling Shareholder, no Shareholder shall sell or transfer to such Proposed Transferee any shares of capital stock of the Company unless and until a Shareholder or Proposed Transferee purchases from such participating Non-Selling Shareholder the number of Purchaser Preferred Shares required to be - 63 -
purchased under paragraph (c) of this Section on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Selling Shareholder Notice. Section 11.04. Waiver of Claims. In the event of a Subsequent Closing, in consideration of benefits offered to each Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, each Shareholder, on behalf of such Shareholder and also on behalf of any other person or persons claiming or deriving a right from him, her or it, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges the Company, and its corporate affiliates, successors and predecessors, and all of their current or former employees, agents, officers, and directors of and from any and all claims, causes of actions, suits, charges, debts, dues, sums of money, attorneys' fees and costs, accounts, bills, covenants, contracts, agreements, expenses, wages, compensation, benefits, promises, damages, judgments, rights, demands, or otherwise, known or unknown to such Shareholder on the Subsequent Closing Date, in law or equity, accrued or unaccrued, contingent or non-contingent, whenever arising from the beginning of time up until the Subsequent Closing Date, in equity or in law, that such Shareholder or anyone claiming by, through, or under him, her or it, in any way might have, or could have, against the Company. Section 11.05. Restrictions on Transfer; Right of First Refusal. (a) Prior to the Termination Date, neither the Purchaser Preferred Shares, the Call Right nor the Additional Call Right shall be assignable or transferable by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to Section 11.05(b), the restrictions on assignability and transfer set forth in this Section shall terminate after the Termination Date. (b) After the Termination Date, before Purchaser may effect any sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of Purchaser Preferred Shares (other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser) (such shares, the "Purchaser Offered Shares"), Purchaser must give to the Company a written notice (the "Purchaser's Notice") stating (a) Purchaser's bona fide intention to sell, assign, transfer or convey such Purchaser Offered Shares and the name and address of the proposed transferee; (b) the number of shares of such Purchaser Offered Shares; and (c) the bona fide cash price or, in reasonable detail, other consideration, per share for which Purchaser proposes to sell, assign, transfer or convey such Purchaser Offered Shares (the "Purchaser Offered Price"). (c) After the Termination Date, the Company shall have the right of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to purchase all of the Purchaser Offered Shares that Purchaser proposes to sell, assign, transfer or convey, if the Company gives written notice of the exercise of such right to purchase within ten (10) business days after the date of its receipt of the Purchaser's Notice (the "Company's Refusal Period"). (d) The purchase price for the Purchaser Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company exercising the Right of First Refusal under this Agreement will be the Purchaser Offered Price multiplied by the number of Purchaser Offered Shares, and will be payable as set forth in Section 11.05(e) hereof. If the Purchaser Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company and Purchaser, absent fraud or manifest error. - 64 -
(e) Payment of the purchase price for the Purchaser Offered Shares purchased by the Company exercising its Right of First Refusal will be made within ten (10) days after the end of the Company's Refusal Period. Payment of the purchase price for the Purchaser Offered Shares will be made in cash or other consideration offered by the proposed purchaser. Section 11.06. Brokerage. Each party hereto will indemnify and hold harmless the others against and in respect of any claim for brokerage or other commissions relative to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby, based in any way on agreements, arrangements or understandings made or claimed to have been made by such party with any third party. As provided in Sections 1.02(b)(ii)(A) and 1.03(h)(ii) hereof, the fees or expenses of SEG incurred by the Company and the shareholders of the Company collectively in connection with the Initial Closing shall be paid out of the Initial Closing Amount and, in connection with the Subsequent Closing, if any, shall be paid out of the cash portion of the Remaining Shares Purchase Amount or the Additional Call Right Purchase Amount, as applicable. Section 11.07. Parties in Interest. All representations, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

No single waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute, absent an express statement otherwise, a continuous waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar). No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. Section 11.14. Severability.

EXHIBIT D REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT This Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of ________________ 200_, by and between Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the shareholders of Rebis, a California corporation ("Rebis"), listed on the signature page of the Agreement (each a "Shareholder" and, collectively, the "Shareholders"). RECITALS a. The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Information and Registration Rights Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Existing Registration Rights Agreement"), dated December 26, 2000, by and between the Company, Bachow Investment Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership or any other entity as to which any affiliate of Bachow & Associates, Inc. is the general partner ("Bachow"), the financial institutions party to the Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement) (the "Lenders"), PNC Bank, National Association as agent for the Lenders (the "Agent"), and the persons listed as "Senior Common Stock Purchasers" in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, as updated from time to time. b. The Company, Rebis and certain shareholders of Rebis entered into a Purchase and Option Agreement, dated as of January ___, 2002 (as it may hereafter be amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), under which Rebis (i) issued and sold to the Company 501,932 shares (the "Bentley Preferred Shares") of Rebis's Series A Convertible Preferred Stack, no par value per share, and (ii) the Company and Rebis each acquired an option (the "Purchase Option") to cause the other to enter into an agreement of merger (the "Agreement of Merger") finder which the Company, through a to-be-formed California corporation that will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, would acquire all of the capital stock of Rebis that the Company does not own after its purchase of the Bentley Preferred Shares in exchange for a combination of cash and shares of the Common Stock (as defined below), the effect of which will be that the Company would own one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rebis. c. Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, the consideration for the exercise of the Purchase Option shall be paid to the shareholders of Rebis in a combination of cash and unregistered shares of Common Stock (the "Purchaser Shares"). d. It is a condition precedent to the Agreement of Merger that the parties hereto enter into this Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and of the mutual promises set forth herein, the Company and the Shareholders, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: (a) "Commission" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act. (b) "Common Stock" shall mean the shares of any current or future class or series of the Company's common stock. (c) "Holder" shall mean any Shareholder (including Permitted Transferees (as defined in Section 7 hereof)) owning outstanding Registrable Securities which have not been sold to the public. (d) The terms "Register," "Registered" and "Registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing with the Commission a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act ("Registration Statement"), and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the Commission or pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Act. (e) "Registrable Securities" shall mean (i) all shares of Common Stock or securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, and (ii) any shares of Common Stock or other securities issued in connection with any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange or similar event related to the foregoing; provided, however, the Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock (A) which are then already registered, or (B) which have been sold to the public either pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144, promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act, or (C) which have been sold or otherwise transferred in a transaction pursuant to which the transferor's rights under this Agreement cannot be transferred. (f) "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 2 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all federal and state registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and accounting fees and expenses, but excluding Selling Expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders (if counsel is different from counsel for the Company). (g) "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time. (h) "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and fees and disbursements of counsel for any Holder (other than the fees and disbursements of counsel included in Registration Expenses). -2-
3. Piggyback Registration. 3.1 Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event the Company decides to Register for sale to the public generally, at any time subsequent to the Company's initial public offering of securities pursuant to a Registration (the "IPO"), any of its Common Stock either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders of the Company exercising their respective demand Registration rights on a form that would be suitable for a Registration involving solely Registrable Securities, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will: (a) promptly give each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws) and (b) use its best efforts to include in such Registration (and any related qualification under Blue Sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 2.2.3 below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request delivered to the Company by any Holder within ten (10) days after delivery of such written notice from the Company. 3.2 Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. 3.2.1 Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 2.1 is for a Registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.1. In such event the right of any Holder to Registration shall be conditioned upon such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such underwriting to the extent provided in this Section 2. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company (the "Underwriter's Representative"). The Holders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 2. 3.2.2 Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the Underwriter's Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 in writing that market factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter's Representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 2.2.3) may limit the number of, or eliminate, the shares of Holders' Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration and underwriting. 3.2.3 Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. In the event that the Underwriter's Representative limits the number of shares to be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.2.2, the number of shares to be included in such Registration shall be allocated so that the Registrable Securities held by Holders shall be excluded from such Registration and underwriting to the extent required by such limitation. If a limitation of the number of shares is still required after such exclusions, the number of shares that may be -3-
included in the Registration and underwriting by selling shareholders shall be allocated pursuant to the terms of the Existing Registration Rights Agreement or any other applicable registration rights agreement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 2.2.3 shall be included in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the number of shares Registrable under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement be limited by the provisions of this Section 2 or any other provisions of this Agreement. 3.2.4 Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the Underwriter's Representative. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such Registration. 3.3 Blue Sky in Piggyback Registration. In the event of any Registration of Registrable Securities of a Holder pursuant to Section 2, the Company will exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such securities; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such sites or jurisdictions but for this Section 2.3, or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, such expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders. 4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration shall be borne by the Holders of the securities Registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares Registered. 5. Registration Procedures. The Company will keep each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration pursuant to this Agreement advised as to the initiation and completion of such Registration. At its expense, the Company will use its best efforts to: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and cause such Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to 120 day; or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; -4-
(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them; (d) obtain clearance for such Registration and sale of securities from the National Association of Securities Dealers; and (e) promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or the Holder's designated attorney-in-fact, whenever a prospectus relating thereto covered by such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. 6. Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of the Company's obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request. 7. Indemnification. 7.1 Company's Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel for the Holders, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which Registration, qualification or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent such claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related Registration Statement) incident to any such Registration, qualification or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such Registration, qualification or compliance; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder and each person who controls any such Holder for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connect, on with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be for use in preparation of such prospectus (including any related Registration Statement). -5-
7.2 Holder's Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such Registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company of such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling such other Holder, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by such Holder of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to such Holder and relating to action or inaction required of such Holder in connection with any such Registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, partners, persons, law and accounting firms, underwriters or control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company, provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further that each Holder's liability under this Section 6.2 shall not exceed such Holder's proceeds net of sales commissions and expenses from the offering of securities made in connection with such Registration. 7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize such action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of such claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Holders in conducting the defense of such action, suit or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 6, then counsel for such party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of such party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced. of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission so to notify the -6-
indemnifying party will not relieve such party of any liability that such party may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 6. 7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 7.5 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities of Holders in a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise. 7.6 Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding this Section 6, to the extent that the provisions regarding indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 8. Transfer of Rights. Subject to the provisions hereunder, so long as the Company is given written notice by a Holder (or a transferee thereof, as the case may be) at the time of such transfer stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being assigned, the Registration rights under this Agreement may be transferred in whole or in part; provided, however, that, as a condition to such assignment, (a) such transferee shall be required to execute simultaneously therewith a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company whereby such transferee agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement as a Holder hereunder; (b) no less than 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities shall be assigned or transferred by a Holder to such transferee; and (c) the transfer of the shares of Registrable Securities from Holder shall not be to a transferee not otherwise prohibited under any other agreement between Holder and the Company (a "Permitted Transferee"). 9. Market Stand-Off. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, if so requested by Purchaser and the underwriters of the IPO, such Shareholder shall enter into a "lock-up" agreement in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters of the IPO that states that such Shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Common Stock during the 180-day period following the closing of the IPO. The obligations described in this Section 8 shall not apply to a Registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in -7-
the future, or a Registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period. 10. Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion in any Registration pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the following: (a) all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act during any ninety (90) day period, or (b) the expiration of three (3) years after the closing of the first registered public offering of Common Stock. 11. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Registration rights granted under this Agreement are subordinate to any and all Registration rights which the Company has granted to holders of the Company's equity securities prior to the date hereof, particularly pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement. 12. Miscellaneous. 12.1 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract between the Company and the Holders relative to the subject matter hereof. Subject to the exceptions specifically set forth in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. 12.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of Delaware. 12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement maybe executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 12.4 Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the interpretation of this Agreement. 12.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be conclusively deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, or one day after sent via reputable national overnight courier addressed (a) if to the Company, as set forth below the Company's name on the signature page of this Agreement, and (b) if to a Holder, at such Holder's address as set forth on the signature pages hereto, or at such other address as the Company or such Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the Holders or the Company, respectively. 12.6 Amendment of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by a written instrument signed by the Company and with the consent of any Holder or Holders who in the aggregate hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the Purchaser Shares issued -8-
at the Merger; provided, however, that no amendment to this Agreement shall become effective without the consent of any party hereto whose rights hereunder are adversely affected by such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agrees that additional parties to this Agreement may be added by a written joinder of a Permitted Transferee of any party hereto without any such consents or approvals.

Except as otherwise provided by law, on any matter on which (a) the holders of Class B Common Stock (but not the holders of Class D Common Stock) have the right to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class, (b) the holders of Class D Common Stock (but not the holders of Class B Common Stock) have the right to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall vote together as a single class, and (c) the holders of Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock have the right to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall vote together as a single class. 3. Conversion. (a) Conversion of Common Stock Upon Determination of Board. Upon the determination of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at any time while the Class B Common Stock is outstanding, then, upon ten (10) days written notice of such determination given to each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be reclassified and converted automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock, without any further action by the Corporation or the stockholders thereof, and such shares of Class B Common Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the certificate or certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation. After there are no longer shares of any class of Common Stock outstanding, other than Class A Common Stock, upon the effectiveness of the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, of a certificate stating that no shares of such other classes of Common Stock will be issued, the Class A Common Stock shall be redesignated automatically as "Common Stock," without any further action by the Corporation or the stockholders thereof. (b) Conversion of Common Stock Upon Public Offering. Upon the closing of the first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the offer and sale to the public for the account of the Corporation of any Comparable Security (as defined below) (an "IPO"), where no conversion of the Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, has previously occurred, then, without any further action by the Corporation or the stockholders thereof, each issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall be reclassified and converted automatically into one share of the offered Comparable Security, and such shares of Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the certificate or certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation. For the purposes herein, a "Comparable Security" shall mean any class or series of Common Stock of the Corporation (other than, with respect to holders of the Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, shares of the same class as is held by them) which has the same preferences, -2-
rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Class A Common Stock in all respects, except that the voting rights of such class or series of Common Stock may differ from the Class A Common Stock. (c) Automatic Conversion of Class D Common Stock. Each share of Class D Common Stock (i) with respect to which holders of Class D Common Stock have not exercised their Class D Redemption Rights in accordance with Section (A)6(a) on or before the expiration of such Class D Redemption Rights, or (ii) which has been sold or transferred by a holder thereof as permitted under applicable law and all other agreements, documents and instruments governing the transfer thereof (except for transfers of Class D Common Stock upon the death of any holder thereof to his or her estate or heirs) shall automatically be converted into Class B Common Stock or, if applicable, into the securities into which the Class B Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section (A)3(a). Section (A)3(b) or otherwise, on a one-for-one basis; provided, however, that any shares of Class D Common Stock that have not been redeemed by the holders thereof pursuant to Section (A)6(a)(i) shall be subject to the Corporation Class D Redemption Right (defined below) for the period and on the terms specified in Section (A)6(d)(i) prior to being converted into shares of Class B Common Stock. (d) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of the Class B Common Stock or the Class D Common Stock converts the same into shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section (A)3, he, she or it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock or the Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of the Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares as of such date. If the conversion of Class D Common Stock is in connection with an IPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Class D Common Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive Class B Common Stock upon conversion of such Class D Common Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Class D Common Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. (e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, -3-
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section (A)3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Class B Common Stock and the Class D Common Stock against impairment. (f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Class B Common Stock or the Class D Common Stock, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, the holder is at the time converting into Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities, as the case may be, and the number of shares of such Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Comparable Securities issuable upon such aggregate conversion. 4. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section (A) to be given to the holders of shares of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation. 5. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock or the Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock and the Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, the Corporation shall take action to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. 6. Redemption. (a) At the Option of Holders of the Class D Common Stock. The Class D Common Stock is redeemable by any one or more holders of Class D Common Stock in whole or in part (the "Class D Redemption Right") (i) at anytime during the period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the date that any share of Class D Common Stock is first issued (the "Class D Initial Issuance Date") and ending sixty (60) days following the fifth anniversary of the Class D -4-
Initial Issuance Date, or, if earlier (ii) upon the consummation of (A) an IPO (as defined in Section (A)3(b)) or (B) a Liquidity Event (as defined in Section (B)4(e)), where the price per share of the shares of common stock sold in such IPO or Liquidity Event is less than the Class D Redemption Amount per share (as calculated pursuant to Section (A)6(f)) in effect at the time of the IPO or Liquidity Event, as the case maybe. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section (A)6, holders of Class D Common Stock may exercise their Class D Redemption Rights by giving written notice in accordance with Sections (A)6(b) or (A)6(c), as the case may be (the "Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice"). At any time when the holders of Class D Common Stock have the right to exercise their Class D Redemption Rights but elect not to or fail to timely elect to exercise such rights, the unexercised Class D Redemption Rights shall immediately expire and all of the shares of Class D Common Stock not redeemed shall be automatically converted into shares of Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section (A)5 above. (b) Notice of IPO and Notice of Exercise. The Corporation will provide written notice of a proposed IPO and, if known, the proposed offering price or range of offering prices per share thereof (the "IPO Notice") to holders of Class D Common Stock before or promptly following the Corporation's initial filing of a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act for the securities to be sold in the proposed IPO. Holders of Class D Common Stock may exercise their Class D Redemption Rights in connection with an IPO only by providing the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice to the Corporation at its principal office no later than fourteen (14) days after the giving of the IPO Notice. Notwithstanding the timely giving of the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice in accordance with this Section (A)6(b) or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation will effect the redemption of the Class D Common Stock in connection with an IPO only upon the consummation of the IPO. If the IPO is not consummated following a timely Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice given in connection therewith, the Class D Redemption Right shall continue in effect as if the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice had not been given. (c) Notice of Liquidity Event and Notice of Exercise. The Corporation shall provide written notice of a Liquidity Event (the "Liquidity Event Notice") in which the consideration is to be paid or distributed to holders of the Class D Common Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Liquidity Event. Holders of Class D Common Stock may exercise their Class D Redemption Rights in connection with a Liquidity Event only by providing the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice to the Corporation at its principal office no later than ten (10) days following the date on which the Corporation gives a Liquidity Event Notice. Notwithstanding the giving of the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice in accordance with this Section (A)6(c) or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation will effect the redemption of the Class D Common Stock in connection with a Liquidity Event only upon the consummation of the Liquidity Event. If the Liquidity Event is not consummated following a timely Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice given in connection therewith, the Class D Redemption Right shall continue in effect as if the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice had not been given. (d) At the Option of the Corporation. If the holders of the Class D Common Stock have not exercised their Class D Redemption Rights prior to their expiration pursuant to -5-
Section (A)6(a)(i), then, for a period of 60 days following such expiration, the Corporation (on ten (10) days prior written notice (such notice from the Corporation referred to herein as the "Corporation Class D Redemption Notice")) shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Class D Common Stock (the "Corporation Class D Redemption Right") for an amount equal to the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount (as calculated pursuant to Section (A)6(f)) in effect on the date of exercise of the Corporation Class D Redemption Right. (e) Payment of the Class D Redemption Amount and Corporation Class D Redemption Amount. If any holder of the Class D Common Stock exercises the Class D Redemption Right within the period prescribed by Section (A)6(a)(i), the Corporation shall pay the Class D Redemption Amount in cash within one hundred eighty (180) days of receiving the Class D Stockholder Redemption Notice. If any holder of the Class D Common Stock exercises the Class D Redemption Right pursuant to Section (A)6(a)(ii) or if the Corporation exercises the Corporation Class D Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the Class D Redemption Amount or the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount, as the case may be, in cash within thirty (30) days following the consummation of the IPO, the consummation of the Liquidity Event or the date of such exercise, as the case may be. Pending payment of the Class D Redemption Amount or the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount, as the case may be, the Class D Redemption Amount or the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount shall continue to increase as provided in Section (A)6(f). Any shares of Class D Common Stock that are redeemed pursuant to this Section (A)6 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of Class D Common Stock. (f) Class D Redemption Amount and Corporation Class D Redemption Amount. (i) Prior to and on August 30, 2002, the "Class D Redemption Amount" of one share of Class D Common Stock shall equal $13.25. Commencing on August 30, 2003, the Class D Redemption Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to 10% of the Class D Redemption Amount on August 30 of the immediately preceding year, with such increase being pro rated on a per diem basis commencing on August 30 of the immediately preceding year with respect to any redemption occurring other than on August 30. For example, the Class D Redemption Amount per share on August 30, 2003 will be $14.575 per share; on June 30, 2004 will be $15.79 per share; and on May 30, 2006 will be $18.96. (ii) Prior to and on September 30, 2002, the "Corporation Class D Redemption Amount" of one share of Class D Common Stock shall equal $17.00 per share. Commencing on September 30, 2003, the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to 10% of the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount on August 30 of the immediately preceding year, with such increase being pro rated on a per diem basis commencing on August 30 of the immediately preceding year with respect to any redemption occurring other than on August 30. For example, the Corporation Class D Redemption Amount per share on October 1, 2006 will be $24.89. -6-
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Class D Redemption Right and the Corporation Class D Redemption Right shall be subordinate to (A) the Class C Redemption Right and the Stockholder Redemption Right to the extent such redemption rights are exercised prior to or contemporaneously with the Class D Redemption Right or the Corporation Class D Redemption Right and (B) the rights of any bank or other institution which holds a senior lien position in respect of the Corporation's obligations to repay borrowed money from time to time, and (ii) the Corporation shall not be required to redeem any shares of Class D Common Stock if such redemption would violate Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or cause a default or event of default under any of the Corporation's indebtedness for borrowed money. The shares of Class D Common Stock that are not redeemed pursuant to this Section (A)6(g) shall remain outstanding and entitled to all rights and preferences provided herein. In connection with a mandatory redemption by the Corporation upon the exercise of the Class D Redemption Rights by holders of the Class D Common Stock, if the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Class D Common Stock on the redemption date are insufficient to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Class D Common Stock, the holders of shares of Class D Common Stock who have exercised their Class D Redemption Rights shall share ratably in any funds legally available for redemption of such shares according to the respective amounts which would be payable with respect to the full number of shares owned by them if all such outstanding shares were redeemed in full. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of such shares of Class D Common Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are then legally available, on the basis set forth above. (B) Class C Common Stock. The Class C Common Stock shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as set forth below. 1. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock shall not have any right to vote on, or consent with respect to, any matters to be voted on or consented to by the stockholders of the Corporation, and the shares of Class C Common Stock shall not be included in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on any such matters. Except as otherwise provided by law, on any matter on which the holders of Class C Common Stock have the right to vote, the holders of Class C Common Stock shall vote as a single class. 2. Dividend Provisions. If any dividends or distributions are declared on the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock, the holders of shares of the Class C Common Stock shall participate with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such shares of the Class C Common Stock into Class B Common Stock or, if no shares of Class B Common Stock are then outstanding, such class of Common Stock into which the Class B Common Stock has been converted, on the terms set forth herein), in the receipt of such dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. 3. Liquidation Preference. -7-
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Class C Redemption Amount (as defined in Section 4) plus the Additional Shares Redemption Amount (as defined in Section 4) or (ii) the amount such holders would be entitled to receive with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock if such holders converted their respective shares of Class C Common Stock into Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section 5 below. Such payment shall be prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation other than the Preferred Stock (which Preferred Stock shall have priority over all Common Stock, including without limitation, the Class C Common Stock) by reason of their ownership thereof. (b) Upon the completion of the distributions required by Section (B)3(a) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock (other than Class C Common Stock) pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock (other than Class C Common Stock) held by each. (c) For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (without limitation), (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, but eluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation or any merger of the Corporation with or into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation that does not affect the ownership or the outstanding shares of the Corporation) or (ii) a sale of a majority of the assets of the Corporation. (d) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of the Class C Common Stock written notice of a transaction referred to in Section (B)3(c) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shrill describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 3, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the Class C Required Holders. "Class C Required Holders" shall mean the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Class C Common Stock; provided however, that such majority shall include the holders of a majority of such shares other than the Insiders, or a person or entity (other than the Insiders) that acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of any of such holders' interest in such Class C Common Stock. "Insiders" shall mean the Bentleys (as defined in Section (B)4(a)) together with (i) any persons who are employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries on the date such person first acquires shares of Class C Common Stock, (ii) any persons who acquire shares of Class C Common Stock within thirty (30) days of becoming -8-
employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and (iii) the immediate family members of any persons referred to in subclauses (i) or (ii). (e) In the event the requirements of Section (B)3(d) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (i) cause the closing of such transaction to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 3 have been complied with; or (ii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Class C Common Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in Section (B)3(d). 4. Redemption. (a) At the Option of Holders of the Class C Common Stock. The Class C Common Stock is redeemable by any one or more holders of Class C Common Stock in whole or in part from time to time (the "Class C Redemption Right") at any time on or after five (5) years after the date that the Class C Common Stock is first issued (the "Class C Initial Issuance Date"), if the Corporation has not then consummated a Qualified IPO (as defined in Section (B)5(b)) or a Liquidity Event on written notice (the "Class C Stockholder Redemption Notice"), or immediately prior to a Change of Control of the Corporation, at the option of any such holder of the Class C Common Stock for a purchase price equal to the sum of the Class C Redemption Amount (as calculated pursuant to Section 4(f)) and the Additional Shares Redemption Amount (as calculated pursuant to Section 4(g)). "Change of Control" shall mean an event that results in Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Barry J. Bentley, Raymond P. Bentley and Richard P. Bentley (each, a "Bentley" and collectively, the "Bentleys") and any trusts formed by a Bentley for the benefit of family members ceasing to own or control more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company. (b) At the Option of the Corporation. If the Corporation has not then consummated a Qualified IPO or a Liquidity Event, the Corporation (on thirty (30) days (the "Corporation Notice Period") prior written notice (such notice from the Corporation referred to herein as the "Corporation Class C Redemption Notice")) shall have the right to redeem all, or any portion of the Class C Common Stock (the "Corporation Class C Redemption Right") for an amount equal to the sum of the Class C Redemption Amount (as calculated pursuant to Section 4(f)) and the Additional Shares Redemption Amount (as calculated pursuant to Section 4(g)) on or after five (5) years after the Class C Initial Issuance Date. (c) Payment of the Class C Redemption Amount. If any holder of the Class C Common Stock exercises the Class C Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the Class C Redemption Amount in cash within one hundred eighty (180) days of receiving the Class C Stockholder Redemption Notice plus the Additional Shares Redemption Amount payable in the case of the Additional Shares Redemption Amount, at such holder's option, (A) in cash within one hundred eighty (180) days of receiving the Class C Stockholder Redemption Notice or (B) in Additional Shares, within five (5) days of receiving the Class C Stockholder Redemption Notice. -9-
The Company shall pay interest on any cash payments under this Section (B)4 accruing from the date, as applicable, on which a holder exercises its Class C Redemption Right or on which the Corporation gives the Corporation Class C Redemption Notice at an interest rate equal to the prime rate of interest of PNC Bank, National Association (the "Prime Rate") as in effect from time to time; provided that if the Corporation fails to pay the Class C Redemption Amount when due, such interest rate shall be the Prime Rate plus 4% (the "Default Rate"). If the Corporation exercises the Corporation Class C Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the Class C Redemption Amount in cash within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) expiration of the Corporation Notice Period, or (ii) notification from the holders of the Class C Common Stock that they will not convert their Class C Common Stock. Pending payment of the Class C Redemption Amount, the Class C Redemption Amount shall continue to accrue as provided in Section 4(f). If the Corporation exercises the Corporation Class C Redemption Right, at holder's option, the Corporation shall pay the Additional Shares Redemption Amount (A) in cash, within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Corporation Notice Period or (ii) notification from the holders of the Class C Common Stock that they will not convert their Class C Common Stock, or (B) in Additional Shares, within five days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Corporation Notice Period or (ii) notification from the holders of the Class C Common Stock that they will not convert their Class C Common Stock. If the Corporation is to pay the Additional Shares Redemption Amount in cash and fails to do so when such payment is due, the Corporation shall pay interest on such overdue Additional Share Redemption Amount at an interest rate equal to the Default Rate. The shares of Class C Common Stock required to be redeemed but not so redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of such shares of Class C Common Stock, such funds shall be used, as soon as available, to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are then legally available, on the basis set forth above. Any shares of Class C Common Stock that are redeemed by the Corporation under this Section 4 shall be redeemed pro rata among all holders of Class C Common Stock. Any shares of Class C Common Stock that are redeemed pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of Class C Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section (B)4, each time that a holder of Class C Common Stock seeks to exercise the Class C Redemption Right or the Corporation seeks to exercise the Corporation Class C Redemption Right, a copy of the Class C Stockholder Redemption Notice or Corporation Class C Redemption Notice, as applicable, shall be given by the Corporation (promptly upon its receipt or issuance of the applicable notice) to each holder of the Preferred Stock and no redemption of Class C Common Stock shall occur prior to thirty (30) days after such notice is provided to each holder of Preferred Stock. If any holder of Preferred Stock exercises its Stockholder Redemption Right during such thirty (30) day period, no redemption of Class C Common Stock shall occur until all amounts due to all such exercising holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section (C)3 below have been paid in full. (d) Additional Obligation and Right of the Corporation. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2001 (the end of each such calendar quarter being the "4(d) Redemption Date"), (i) the -10-
Corporation shall be required to redeem 2.5% of the Class C Redemption Amount as of the end of such quarter in cash for a price equal to 98.9847% of the portion of the Class C Redemption Amount to be redeemed and (ii) the Corporation shall have an option to redeem an amount up to an additional 2.5% of the Class C Redemption Amount as of the end of such quarter in cash for a price equal to 98.9847% of the portion of the Class C Redemption Amount to be redeemed; provided, that no redemption shall be made pursuant to this subsection (B)(4)(d) if on the applicable 4(d) Redemption Date, such redemption is prohibited by the terms of any senior bank debt to which the corporation is a party, without giving effect to any waiver (or amendment in the nature of a waiver) of such bank debt agreements for the non-compliance as of the applicable 4(d) Redemption Date with any of the following provisions of such bank debt agreements: (a) financial covenants or financial ratios; (b) payment defaults to any such bank or (c) requirements for delivery of audited financial statements not subject to a "going concern" qualification. If a redemption does not occur as of the applicable 4(d) Redemption Date, no redemption shall be made with respect to that 4(d) Redemption Date if subsequently a redemption could be made. Failure to effect a redemption on a 4(d) Redemption Date shall not affect the rights and obligations with respect to any subsequent 4(d) Redemption Date. (e) Liquidity Event. Upon the closing of a Liquidity Event, each share of Class C Common Stock shall, at the option of the holders of Class C Common Stock either: (i) be converted into Class B Common Stock or, if applicable into the securities into which the Class B Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section (A)4 herein or otherwise (and, with respect to the Additional Shares, at the then applicable Class C Conversion Factor); or (ii) be redeemed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, whether or not within five (5) years of the Class C Initial Issuance Date. "Liquidity Event" shall mean a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or a merger of the Corporation that, in the case of such merger, results in the Corporation's stockholders immediately prior to such transaction holding less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving, continuing or purchasing entity. The right of holders of Class C Common Stock to receive payments pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section (B)(4)(e) shall be subordinate to the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares. (f) Class C Redemption Amount. During the first year after a share of Class C Common Stock is issued, the Class C Redemption Amount of one such share of Class C Common Stock shall equal $125 per share, less the Class C Redemption Amount per such share, if any, that the Corporation redeemed during such year. After such first year, the Class C Redemption Amount of one share of Class C Common Stock at the end of any calendar quarter (the "Current Calendar Quarter") after such first year shall equal the Class C Redemption Amount of such share at the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the Current Calendar Quarter for which the calculation is being made (or, in the case of the first such calculation, the end of such first year) (such amount being the "Prior Class C Redemption Amount"), plus an additional amount equal to 5.7371% of such Prior Class C Redemption Amount (it being understood that if it is necessary to calculate the Class C Redemption Amount at any time other than the end of a calendar quarter, such additional amount shall be pro rated on a per diem basis over such calendar quarter), less the Class C Redemption Amount per share, if any, that the Corporation redeemed during the Current Calendar Quarter. -11-
(g) Additional Shares Redemption Amount. The "Additional Shares Redemption Amount" for each share of Class C Common Stock shall equal the Appraisal Fair Market Value per share times the number of Additional Shares (calculated pursuant to Section (B)5(a) hereof). "Appraisal Fair Market Value" shall be determined by a disinterested independent qualified appraiser (the "Appraiser") selected by the holder and the Corporation. If the holder and the Corporation are able to agree upon an Appraiser, such Appraiser shall be instructed to prepare a written valuation or appraisal (the "Appraisal") within thirty (30) days after its selection, with the expenses of the first valuation in any given 12 month period to be borne by the Corporation and, thereafter, to be borne equally by the Corporation and the holder. If the holder and the Corporation are not able to agree upon the selection of an Appraiser within a five (5) day period after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the valuation, each of the holder and the Corporation will, within five (5) days after the end of such five (5) day period, select an Appraiser to determine the Appraisal Fair Market Value. If either the holder or the Corporation fails to select an Appraiser within such five (5) days, the Appraiser selected by the other party shall determine the Appraisal Fair Market Value. Each of the Appraisers so selected will be instructed to furnish both the holder and the Corporation with a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, with the expense of each appraisal to be borne by the party selecting the Appraiser. If the higher of the appraisals is not more than 110% of the lower appraisal, then the Appraised Fair Market Value will be the arithmetic average of the appraisals. If the higher of the appraisals is greater than 110% of the lower appraisal, the Appraisers shall, within ten days after the issuance of their respective reports, select a third Appraiser to determine the Appraised Market Value. The third Appraiser shall furnish a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, with the expense thereof to be borne equally by the holder and the Corporation. The third appraisal shall be arithmetically averaged with the previous appraisals, and the appraisal furthest from the average of the three appraisals will be disregarded. The arithmetic average of the remaining two appraisals will be the Appraisal Fair Market Value. Each Appraiser engaged to provide an appraisal hereunder will be instructed to (i) include therein a statement of the criteria applied and assumptions made to determine the Appraisal Fair Market Value; (ii) arrive at a single calculation of such fair market value rather than alternative calculations or a range of calculations; and (iii) not attribute a premium or discount based on the fact that (1) the shares being valued constitute a majority or less than a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (2) there is no liquid market for the sale and purchase of the shares and (3) the shares are non-voting. Any appraisal not complying with the foregoing shall not constitute an appraisal for the purpose hereof. The failure of an Appraiser to complete an appraisal within thirty (30) days as instructed shall not affect the validity of such Appraiser's appraisal. 5. Conversion. The holders of the Class C Common Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Class C Conversion Rights"): (a) Right to Convert. The Class C Common Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time after the date beginning five years after the Class C Initial Issuance Date, or immediately prior to the consummation of a Liquidity Event, or immediately prior to a Change of Control of the Corporation at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into Class B Common Stock as provided herein. The number of shares of Class B Common Stock that such holder shall receive upon conversion -12-
of one share of Class C Common Stock shall equal the sum of (i) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") equal to the product of the Class C Conversion Factor (as defined below) multiplied by 2.77 1/3 plus (ii) the Class C Redemption Amount as of the time of conversion of one share of Class C Common Stock divided by the Conversion Fair Market Value of one share of the Class B Common Stock. The initial conversion factor (the "Class C Conversion Factor") shall be one. The Class C Conversion Factor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5(a). References herein to conversion of the Class C Common Stock into Class B Common Stock shall include, if no shares of Class B Common Stock are then outstanding, conversion into such other securities and/or property into which the Class B Common Stock has been converted. "Conversion Fair Market Value" of a share of stock means: (i) in connection with a conversion related to a Qualified IPO, the initial offering per share price to the public of the equity security sold in the Qualified IPO; (ii) in connection with a conversion related to a Liquidity Event, the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Corporation in the Liquidity Event (provided that if such per share consideration includes non-cash consideration, the per share value of such non-cash consideration shall be calculated (A) for non-cash consideration consisting of shares of publicly traded securities, based upon the closing price per share of such securities on the date of the closing of the Liquidity Event or (B) for other non-cash consideration, in the same manner that the Appraisal Fair Market Value of a share of stock is calculated; and (iii) in connection with a conversion other than pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, the Appraisal Fair Market Value of a share of stock. (i) Except for the Outstanding Rights (as defined below), if the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section (B)5(a)(ii) or (iii) is deemed to have issued or sold after the Class C Initial Issuance Date, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Anti-Dilution Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Class B Common Stock immediately prior to such time, then immediately upon such issue or sale, the Class C Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Class C Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Anti-Dilution Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock determined on the date of such issue or sale, times (B) the number of Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below) immediately after such issue or sale and the denominator of which is the sum obtained by adding (1) the gross consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale and (2) the product obtained by multiplying the Anti-Dilution Fair Market Value of the Common Stock determined on the date of such issue or sale times the number of shares of Fully Diluted Shares immediately prior to such issue or sale. For purposes of this Section (B), "Anti-Dilution Fair Market Value per Share" of securities shall mean (i) if such securities are traded on a securities exchange, the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange during the ten (10) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the applicable date; (ii) if such securities are traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing sale prices of the securities during the ten (10) trading day period ending (3) trading days prior to the applicable date; and (iii) if there is no public market for such securities, the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes of this Section (B), "Outstanding Rights" shall mean all rights, including warrants to purchase up to 1,040,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the Guaranty Agreements (as defined in the Revolving Credit -13-
and Security Agreement) entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated December 26, 2000 by and among the Corporation, Bentley Software, Inc., Atlantech Solutions, Inc. and PNC Bank, National Association (the "Revolving Credit and Security Agreement") and warrants to purchase up to 988,290 shares of Class B Common Stock issued to the lenders pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement and options to issue or acquire shares of the Common Stock outstanding on December 21, 2000, (including without limitation the rights of holders of Preferred Stock whether or not the applicable shares of Preferred Stock have been released from escrow under the Escrow Agreement between the Company and Bachow Investment Partners III, L.P. dated September 18, 2000) and options granted in the future at exercise prices of not less than Fair Market Value pursuant to the Corporation's employee stock option plans in effect from time to time and the issuance and sale of the Common Stock upon exercise of such rights and options. "Fully Diluted Shares" means all issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation's Class A and Class B Common Stock and all shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, rights, convertible securities (including the Preferred Stock and Class C Common Stock) and similar rights to subscribe for or to purchase such shares. (ii) Except for the Outstanding Rights, if the Corporation in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (for purposes of this Section (B), such rights or portions being herein called "Rights" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") after the Class C Initial Issuance Date and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Rights, then, for purposes of this Section 5(a), the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise for such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Rights, plus in the case of such Rights which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof by (b) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights or upon the conversion or exchange or all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights. No adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Rights or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (iii) If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities after the Class C Initial Issuance Date and the price per share for which Common -14-
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then, for purposes of this Section 5(a), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange if such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Rights for which adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor had been or are to be made pursuant to this Section 5(a), no further adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. (iv) It any Common Stock, Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Corporation therefor. In case any Common Stock, Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the Fair Market Value thereof as the date of receipt. (v) In case any Right is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Rights by the parties thereto, the Rights shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (vi) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. (vii) If the Corporation determines a record date of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Rights or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Rights or in Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of this Section 5(a), such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. -15-
(viii) If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Class C Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Class C Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. (ix) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another person or entity or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Fundamental Change." Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision to insure that all holders of Class C Common Stock shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of the conversion right granted hereunder, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the conversion right granted hereunder had such Fundamental Change not taken place. In any such case, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision with respect to the rights and interests of all holders of Class C Common Stock to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 shall thereafter be applicable to the Class C Common Stock including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor taking into account the value of the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, if the value per share so reflected is less than the Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such consideration, merger or sale. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to holders of Class C Common Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to acquire. (x) If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Rights or Convertible Securities have not been issued when such Rights or Convertible Securities are no longer outstanding, then the Class C Conversion Factor promptly shall be readjusted to the Class C Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such Rights or Convertible Securities been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued upon exercise of such Rights or the conversion of the Convertible Securities. (xi) If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, then the Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Class C -16-
Conversion Factor so as to protect the rights of the holders of Class C Common Stock, provided that no such adjustment shall decrease the Class C Conversion Factor. However, notwithstanding this Section 5(a)(xi), no adjustment to the Class C Conversion Factor shall be made upon the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features (the "Quasi-Equity Plans") to employees of or consultants to the Corporation that effectively give the recipients the benefit only of the appreciation in the Share Equivalent in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock at the date of grant. For the purposes of this Section (B), a "Share Equivalent" shall mean a right or other arrangement granted under a Quasi-Equity Plan substantially equivalent to the right to acquire one share of Common Stock or the right to the appreciation in such share over a specified period of time. (b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Class C Common Stock shall automatically be converted into Class B Common Stock or, if applicable, into the securities into which the Class B Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section (A)4 above or otherwise (at the then applicable Class C Conversion Factor with respect to the Additional Shares) upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. The Corporation shall provide each holder of Class C Common Stock with notice of any event that can result in the conversion of the Class C Common Stock under this Section 5(b) pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof. "Qualified IPO" means the Corporation's initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Corporation under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale to the public for the account of the Corporation of any class or series of common stock or other equity security of the Corporation resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of not less than $15 million at a "pre-money" valuation of at least $225 million; provided, however, that a Qualified IPO will be deemed to have occurred as of the end of two consecutive calendar quarters following a public offering that does not meet the requirements set forth above if the average daily market capitalization of the Corporation during such quarters (as measured based upon the price per share of the securities sold by the Corporation in such public offering) is equal to or greater than $225 million. (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of the Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Class B Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duty endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class C Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Class C Common Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of the Class C Common Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with a Qualified IPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Class C Common Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) -17-
entitled to receive Class B Common Stock upon conversion of such Class C Common Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Class C Common Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. (d) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Class C Conversion Rights of the holders of the Class C Common Stock against impairment. (e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Class C Common Stock, and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Class C Common Stock the holder is at the time converting into Class B Common Stock and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion. (f) Special Notices. In case at any time: (i) the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in cash or stock or make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock; (ii) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class of other rights; (iii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity or entities, or a sale, lease, abandonment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give, by delivery in person, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, telecopier or telex, addressed to each holder of any shares of Class C Common Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation: (a) at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or (b) if a record date shall not be established for any of the foregoing, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, shall specify the applicable terms and the date on -18-
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the applicable terms and the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. (g) Other Notices. Any other notice required by the provisions of this Section 5 to be given to the holders of shares of the Class C Common Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation. 6. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class C Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Class C Common Stock, the Corporation shall take action to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. 7. Board of Directors. (a) After the Class C Initial Issuance Date, and prior to (i) the Corporation selling 150,000 shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 26, 2000 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") or (ii) the Class C Redemption Amount of the Class C Common Stock issued on the Class C Initial Issuance Date reaching $10 million, as long as there is Class C Common Stock outstanding, the Corporation shall permit a representative of the holders of the Class C Common Stock (which representative shall be selected by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class C Common Stock, which holders shall, for the purposes of such vote, not include the Insiders or holders controlled by the Insiders) (the "Observer") to attend each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and each meeting of any committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as a non-voting observer; provided, however, that the Corporation reserves the right to exclude the Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Corporation believes that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege and, provided, further, that the Observer agrees to keep all materials and other information received by him or her confidential. The Corporation shall give the Observer the same notice of meeting and other materials that are given to the directors, including copies of minutes of each meeting. (b) Beginning on the date that (i) the Corporation has sold 150,000 shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Class C Redemption Amount of the Class C Common Stock issued on the Class C Initial Issuance Date has reached $10 million, as long as there is Class C Common Stock outstanding, the holders of -19-
the Class C Common Stock shall be entitled, but not obligated, to elect one (1) director (which director shall be selected by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class C Common Stock, which holders shall, for the purposes of such vote, not include the Insiders or holders controlled by the Insiders) (the "Class C Common Stock Director") to serve on the Corporation's Board of Directors. The Class C Common Stock Director shall be entitled to serve on all Board Committees. At any meeting (or in a written consent in lieu thereof) held for the purpose of electing directors, the presence in person or by proxy (or the written consent) of the holders of a majority of shares of Class C Common Stock other than the Insiders or holders controlled by the Insiders shall constitute a quorum of the Class C Common Stock for the election of the Class C Common Stock Director; but shall not otherwise affect the quorum requirements for the meeting generally. In no event shall the Class C Common Stock Director be a Bentley. A vacancy in the directorship held by the Class C Common Stock Director shall be filled only by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class C Common Stock, which holders shall, for the purposes of such vote, not include the Insiders or holders controlled by the Insiders. 8. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Class C Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section (B)5 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation's authorized capital stock. 9. Notices. (a) All notices and other communications from the Corporation to holders of the Class C Common Stock shall be mailed by first-class certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Corporation in writing by the last holder of the Class C Common Stock who shall have furnished an address to the Corporation in writing. (b) In the event: (1) the Corporation shall authorize issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase capital stock of the Corporation or of any other subscription rights or warrants; (2) the Corporation shall authorize any dividend or other distribution payable in evidences of its indebtedness, cash or assets; (3) of any Liquidity Event or consolidation or merger or change of control to which the Corporation is a party, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Corporation substantially as an entirety, or of any capital reorganization or reclassification or change of the Common Stock; (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up to the Corporation; (5) of the consummation of a Qualified IPO; and -20-
(6) the Corporation proposes to take any other action which would require an adjustment of the Class C Conversion Factor; make any distribution upon any class or series of stock of the Corporation (other than the Preferred Stock, the Class C Common Stock or the Class D Common Stock); provided, however, that the Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation to repurchase equity securities of the Corporation from former employees of the Corporation, other than the Bentleys, from time to time, so long as each such repurchase from a former employee, when combined with other repurchases for former employees does not exceed $250,000 per year. (C) Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as set forth below. 1. Dividend Provisions. From September 18, 1998, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock of the Corporation, at the rate of One Dollar and Ninety-Five and 22/100 Cents ($1.9522) per annum, pro rated for partial years, on each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock (appropriately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, merger and recapitalizations), payable quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall be cumulative and unpaid dividends shall compound annually at the rate of Twenty and Two Hundred and One Thousandths percent (20.201%) per annum. The amount of cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends at any date, after giving effect to such compounding, is hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Dividends." Except for the redemptions of Class C Common Stock required or permitted under Section (B)4(d) hereof, the Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividend or set aside a sum sufficient for such payment, or make any distribution, in respect of the shares of the Common Stock while any share of the Preferred Stock is outstanding without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a class (the "Required Holders"). In the event of any such dividend, set aside or distribution, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall participate with holders of shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such shares of the Preferred Stock into Class B Common Stock or, if no shares of Class B Common Stock are then outstanding, such class of Common Stock into which the Class B Common Stock has been converted, on the terms set forth herein), in the receipt of such dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock or other equity securities or rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock), which dividends shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the Accrued Dividends. As used in this Section 1, the term "distribution" shall not include the repurchase of shares of Common Stock except on a pro rata basis from all holders of Common Stock. 2. Liquidation Preference. -21-
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to (i) convert their respective shares of Preferred Stock into Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section 4 below, or (ii) have the Preferred Stock redeemed in accordance with Section 3 hereof, whether or not within four and one-half (4-1/2) years of the Initial Issuance Date (as deemed below). Such payment shall be prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof. (b) Upon the completion of the distributions required by Section (C)2(a) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each. (c) For purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (without limitation), (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation or any merger of the Corporation with or into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation that does not affect the ownership of the Corporation) or (ii) a sale of a majority of the assets of the Corporation. (d) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of the Preferred Stock written notice of a transaction referred to in Section (C)2(c) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the Required Holders. (e) In the event the requirements of Section (C)2(d) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (i) cause the closing of such transaction to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or (ii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in Section (C)2(d). 3. Redemption. -22-
(a) At the Option of Holders of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is redeemable by any one or more holders of Preferred Stock in whole or in part from time to time (the "Stockholder Redemption Right") at any time on or after four and one-half (4-1/2) years after the date that the Preferred Stock is first issued (the "Initial Issuance Date") on written notice (the "Stockholder Redemption Notice") at the option of any such holder of the Preferred Stock for Nine Dollars Sixty Six and 21/100 Cents ($9.6621) per share (the "Face Amount") plus Accrued Dividends to the date that the redemption payment is made (collectively, the "Redemption Amount"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Redemption Right and the Corporation Redemption Right (as defined below) shall terminate upon the earlier of the closing of (i) a Sale of the Corporation (as defined below); or (ii) an IPO. (b) At the Option of the Corporation. The Corporation (on thirty (30) days (the "Notice Period") prior written notice (such notice from the Corporation referred to herein as the "Corporation Redemption Notice")) shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all of the Preferred Stock (the "Corporation Redemption Right") for the Redemption Amount on or after six and one-half (6 1/2) years after the Initial Issuance Date. (c) Payment of the Redemption Amount. If any holder of the Preferred Stock exercises the Stockholder Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Amount in cash within one hundred twenty (120) days of receiving the Stockholder Redemption Notice. If the Corporation exercises the Corporation Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Amount in cash within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) expiration of the Notice Period, or (ii) notification from the holders of the Preferred Stock that they will not convert their Preferred Stock (each such time period referred to hereafter as a "Prescribed Period"). If the Corporation fails to pay the Redemption Amount within the applicable Prescribed Period, the Corporation shall instead pay the exercising holder an amount equal to $36,203,574 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of the Preferred Stock held by the exercising holder immediately prior to redemption and the denominator of which equals 1,552,450 (the "Delinquent Redemption Amount"). The Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue dividends as provided in Section (C)1 herein. The Delinquent Redemption Amount shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 4% (or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) from the date of the Stockholder Exercise Notice or the Corporation Exercise Notice (whichever is applicable) to the earlier of the date of payment or the Prescribed Period Deadline, as defined below. If the Corporation is required but fails to pay the Delinquent Redemption Amount plus accrued interest within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable Prescribed Period (the "Prescribed Period Deadline"), the Corporation shall instead pay the exercising holder an amount equal to any interest accrued pursuant to this Section 3(c) plus an amount equal to $37,108,663, multiplied by a fraction. the numerator of which equals the number of shares of the Preferred Stock held by the exercising holder immediately prior to redemption and the denominator of which equals 1,552,450 (the "Second Delinquent Redemption Amount"). The Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue dividends as provided in Section (C)1 herein. The Second Delinquent Redemption Amount shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 4% (or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) from the Prescribed Period Deadline to the date of payment. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, then (x) the holders of such shares shall share ratably in any -23-
funds legally available for redemption of such shares according to the respective amounts which would be payable to them if the full number of shares to be redeemed were actually redeemed; and (y) the Corporation shall only be required to pay the Redemption Amount out of funds legally available therefor and not the Delinquent Redemption Amount nor the Second Delinquent Redemption Amount; however, once the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock are sufficient to redeem any unredeemed shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3(c) then if the Corporation fails to pay the Redemption Amount within thirty (30) days from such time, the Corporation shall pay the exercising holder the Delinquent Redemption Amount (less the product of the portion of the Redemption Amount already paid multiplied by 105%) which amount shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 4% (or, if less, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law) to the earlier of the date of payment or ninety (90) days following the time that the funds of the Corporation became legally available for redemption of the shares of the Preferred Stock and, if the Corporation fails to pay the Delinquent Redemption Amount within such ninety (90) day period the Corporation shall pay the exercising holder the Second Delinquent Redemption Amount (less the product of the Delinquent Redemption Amount already paid multiplied by 102.5%), which amount shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 4% (or, if less, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law) until the date of payment. The shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed but not so redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, such funds shall be used, at the end of the next succeeding calendar quarter, to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are then legally available, on the basis set forth above. Any shares of Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock. (d) Sale of the Corporation. (i) In the event there is a Sale of the Corporation during the one (1) year period following exercise of the Stockholder Redemption Right or the Corporation Redemption Right, the Corporation shall pay the redeeming holders of the Preferred Stock (the "Redeeming Stockholders"), in addition to the Redemption Amount, an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Redemption Amount is less than the amount that the Redeeming Stockholders would have received (with any non-cash consideration valued at its Fair Market Value (as defined below)) had they remained stockholders of the Corporation (assuming the Redeeming Stockholders would have converted their shares of the Preferred Stock to Class B Common Stock prior to the sale) (the "Lookback Amount"). A "Sale of the Corporation" shall mean the entering into of any legally binding oral or written agreement (provided that closing occurs pursuant to such agreement regardless of whether such closing occurs prior or subsequent to one (1) year after the exercise of the Stockholder Redemption Right or the Corporation Redemption Right and, provided further, that in the case of a legally binding oral agreement, within 16 months after such exercise, such oral agreement is reduced to a written agreement or the closing occurs) or the closing of a transaction, pursuant to which (1) the Corporation's stockholders receive directly or indirectly cash and/or other consideration (including without -24-
limitation securities) and (ii) (A) a majority of the Corporation's consolidated assets are to be sold; or (B) a majority of the Corporation's fully diluted common equity is to become beneficially owned (as a result of a stock sale, merger or otherwise) by an individual or entity or group (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that does not own a majority of the fully diluted common equity as of the Initial Issuance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall only be obligated to pay the Lookback Amount to Redeeming Stockholders provided the Sale of the Corporation is to a purchaser with whom the Corporation had discussions (or with whose representatives the Corporation had discussions) regarding a potential Sale of the Corporation during the period commencing six (6) months prior to the exercise of the Redemption Right and ending on the date of exercise of the Redemption Right. (ii) Upon the closing of a sale of the Corporation in a transaction in which the holders of Common Stock receive (i) publicly traded securities of the acquiring entity in the transaction, or (ii) cash, or any combination of (i) and (ii), each share of Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holders of Preferred Stock either: (x) be converted into Class B Common Stock or, if applicable into the securities into which the Class B Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section (A)4 herein or otherwise (at the then applicable Conversion Ratio); or (y) be redeemed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, whether or not within four (4) years of the Initial Issuance Date. 4. Conversions. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"): (a) Right to Convert. The Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such Preferred Stock, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into Class B Common Stock as provided herein. The initial conversion ratio (the "Conversion Ratio") (i.e., the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock) shall be one to one. The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4(a); provided, however, that the Conversion Ratio shall not be adjusted in connection with the issuance of Class C Common Stock prior to April 1, 2001 or any conversion of such Class C Common Stock. References herein to conversion of the Preferred Stock into Class B Common Stock shall include, if no shares of Class B Common Stock are then outstanding, conversion into such other securities and/or property into which the Class B Common Stock has been converted. (i) Except for the Outstanding Rights (as defined below), if the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section (C)4(a)(ii) or (iii) is deemed to have issued or sold after September 18, 1998, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock immediately prior to such time; then immediately upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock determined on the date of such issue or sale, times (B) the number of Fully Diluted Shares as defined below) immediately after such issue or sale and the denominator of which is the sum obtained by adding (1) the gross -25-
consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale and (2) the product obtained by multiplying the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock determined on the date of such issue or sale times the number of shares of Fully Diluted Shares immediately prior to such issue or sale. For purposes of this Section (C), "Fair Market Value" shall mean: (i) if traded on a securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange during the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of issue or sale; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the average of the last bid or sales prices (whichever is applicable) during the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the date of issue or sale; and (iii) if there is no public market, the fair market value thereof. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right but not the obligation to utilize as the Fair Market Value for this Section (C), the amount determined as Appraisal Fair Market Value for purposes of Section (B) as of the relevant time. For purposes of this Section (C), "Outstanding Rights" shall mean all rights and options to issue or acquire the Common Stock outstanding on September 18, 1998, and options granted in the future at exercise prices of not less than Fair Market Value pursuant to the Corporation's employee stock option plans in effect from time to time and the issuance and sale of the Common Stock upon exercise of such rights and options. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (B)4, no adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made upon the issuance of Class C Common Stock or the warrants issued in connection therewith (the "Class C Warrants") or upon any anti-dilution adjustment to the Class C Common Stock or the Class C Warrants (collectively, the "Class C Securities") or upon the issue of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of the Class C Securities and no adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made upon the issuance of Class D Common Stock or upon any anti-dilution adjustment to the Class D Common Stock or upon the issue of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of the Class D Common Stock. (ii) Except for the Outstanding Rights, if the Corporation in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (for purposes of this Section (C) such rights or portions being herein called "Rights" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") after September 18, 1998 and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Stock is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Rights, then, for purposes of this Section 4(a), the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise for such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Rights, plus in the case of such Rights which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof by (b) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such -26-
Rights or upon the conversion or exchange or all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights. No adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Rights or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (iii) If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities after September 18, 1998 and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then, for purposes of this Section 4(a), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange if such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Rights for which adjustment of the Conversion Ratio had been or are to be made pursuant to this Section 4(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Ratio shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. (iv) If any Common Stock, Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Corporation therefor. In case any Common Stock, Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the Fair Market Value thereof as the date of receipt. (v) In case any Right is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Rights by the parties thereto, the Rights shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (vi) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. (vii) If the Corporation determines a record date of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Rights or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase -27-
Common Stock, Rights or in Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of this Section 4(a), such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. (viii) If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. (ix) Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision to insure that all holders of Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of the conversion right granted hereunder, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the conversion right granted hereunder had such Fundamental Change not taken place. In any such case, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision with respect to the rights and interests of all holders of Preferred Stock to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 shall thereafter be applicable to the Preferred Stock including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Ratio taking into account the value of the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, if the value per share so reflected is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such consideration, merger or sale. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to holders of Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to acquire. (x) If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Rights or Convertible Securities have not been issued when such Rights or Convertible Securities are no longer outstanding, then the Conversion Ratio promptly shall be readjusted to the Conversion Ratio that would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such Rights or Convertible Securities been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued upon exercise of such Rights or the conversion of the Convertible Securities. (xi) If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, then the Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion -28-
Ratio so as to protect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, provided that no such adjustment shall decrease the Conversion Ratio. However, notwithstanding this Section 4(a)(xi), no adjustment to the Conversion Ratio shall be made upon the granting of rights with equity features under Quasi-Equity Plans to employees of or consultants to the Corporation that effectively give the recipients the benefit only of the appreciation in the Share Equivalent in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. For the purposes of this Section (C), a "Share Equivalent" shall mean a right or other arrangement granted under a Quasi-Equity Plan substantially equivalent to the right to acquire one share of Common Stock or the right to the appreciation in such share over a specified period of time. (b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into Class B Common Stock or, if applicable, into the securities into which the Class B Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section (A)4 above or otherwise (at the then applicable Conversion Ratio) upon the closing of an IPO. (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Class B Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of the Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an IPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive Class B Common Stock upon conversion of such Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. (d) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment. (e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not -29-
fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Class B Common Stock and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion. (f) Special Notices. In case at any time: (i) the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in cash or stock or make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock; (ii) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity or entities, or a sale, lease, abandonment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give, by delivery in person, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, telecopier or telex, addressed to each holder of any shares of Preferred Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation: (a) at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or (b) if a record date shall not be established for any of the foregoing, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, shall specify the applicable terms and the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the applicable terms and the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. (g) Other Notices. Any other notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation. (h) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to -30-
effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. 5. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by applicable law, holders of the Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights. 6. Board of Directors. So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled, but not obligated, to elect one (1) director (the "Preferred Stock Director") to serve on the Corporation's Board of Directors. The Preferred Stock Director shall be entitled to serve on all Board Committees. If at any time the Corporation's Board shall increase to eight (8) or more members, including the Preferred Stock Director, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled, but not obligated, to elect an additional director (the "Supplemental Preferred Stock Director"). The Supplemental Preferred Stock Director shall have the same rights and privileges as the Preferred Stock Director other than the entitlement to serve on Board Committees. At any meeting (or in a written consent in lieu thereof) held for the purpose of electing directors, the presence in person or by proxy (or the written consent) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the Preferred Stock for the election of the Preferred Stock Director (and the Supplemental Preferred Stock Director when applicable); but shall not otherwise affect the quorum requirements for the meeting generally. A vacancy in the directorship held by the Preferred Stock Director (and the Supplemental Preferred Stock Director where applicable) shall be filled only by vote or written consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock. 7. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section (C)4 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation's authorized capital stock.

Procedure for Borrowing Advances. (a) Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day of a Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. Unless requested pursuant to Section 2.2(b) below, all Advances shall be Domestic Rate Loans. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other related agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Revolving Advances deemed to be requested pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be made regardless of (i) the existence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (ii) the fact that the aggregate amount outstanding of all Revolving Advances after giving effect to such deemed request shall exceed the Maximum Loan Amount or the Formula Amount, or (iii) any other restrictions on the making of Revolving Advances contained herein. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent at least three (3) 18
Business Days' prior written notice, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for one, two, or three months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. No Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrowers during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. (c) Each Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term. Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d) hereinbelow. (d) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Borrower may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If a Borrower desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent not less than three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to convert from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to convert from a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be outstanding more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate. (e) At its option and upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice, any Borrower may prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof. (f) Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may 19
sustain or incur as a consequence of any voluntary prepayment, any mandatory prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loans resulting from Revolving Advances exceeding the Formula Amount, voluntary conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such certificate shall be delivered to Borrowing Agent within sixty (60) days of any such loss. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (g), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans), the obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, as the case may be, shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such certificate shall be delivered to Borrowing Agent within sixty (60) days of any such loss. 2.3. Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account on Agent's books. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowers or deemed to have been requested by Borrowers under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.2, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. 2.4. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.5. Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) Maximum Loan Amount or (b) the Formula Amount. 20
2.6. Repayment of Advances. (a) The Revolving Advances and (except to the extent otherwise required hereunder to be paid sooner) all other Obligations shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. (b) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received. In consideration of Agent's agreement to conditionally credit Borrowers' Account as of the Business Day on which Agent receives those items of payment, each Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after the Business Day Agent receives such payments via wire transfer or electronic depository check. Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is credited and thereafter returned to Agent unpaid. (c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York Time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers' Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. (d) Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim. 2.7. Repayment of Excess Advances. The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred. 2.8. Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrowers' Account") in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent and Borrowers, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto. 2.9. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Agent shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit ("Letters of Credit") on behalf of any Borrower; provided, 21
however, that Agent will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the face amount of such Letters of Credit would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances plus (ii) outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Loan Amount or (y) the Formula Amount. The maximum amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans; Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest. 2.10. Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower or Subsidiary, may request Agent to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Agent at the Payment Office, Agent's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent may reasonably request. Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower or Subsidiary, also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any application, any applicable letter of credit and security agreement, any applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreement and/or any other applicable agreement, any letter of credit and the disposition of documents, disposition of any unutilized funds, and to agree with Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding. (d) Each Lender shall to the extent of the percentage amount equal to the product of such Lender's Commitment Percentage times the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed reimbursement obligations arising from disbursements made or obligations incurred with respect to the Letters of Credit be deemed to have irrevocably purchased an undivided participation in each such unreimbursed reimbursement obligation. In the event that at the time a disbursement is made the unpaid balance of Revolving Advances exceeds or would exceed, with the making of such disbursement, the lesser of the Maximum Loan Amount or the Formula Amount, and such disbursement is not reimbursed by Borrowers within two (2) Business Days, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and upon Agent's demand each Lender shall pay to Agent such Lender's proportionate share of such unreimbursed disbursement together with such Lender's proportionate share of Agent's unreimbursed costs and expenses relating to such unreimbursed disbursement. Upon receipt by Agent of a repayment from any Borrower of any amount disbursed by Agent for which Agent had already been reimbursed by Lenders, Agent shall deliver to each Lender that Lender's pro rata share of such repayment. Each Lender's participation commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the applicable Borrower) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. 2.12.

(ii) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate on outstanding Advances which it has funded. (iii) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (d) If any Lender or Participant (a "benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as 24
fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. (e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from Borrowers; provided, however, that Agent's right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers' rights (if any) against such Lender. 2.14. Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay existing indebtedness owed to Exiting Lender, (ii) to consummate the Acquisition, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction, and (iv) to provide for their working capital needs. 2.15. Defaulting Lender. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (x) has refused (which refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance or (y) notifies either Agent or Borrowing Agent that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a "Lender Default"), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a "Defaulting Lender") as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.15 while such Lender Default remains in effect. (b) Advances shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders ("Non-Defaulting Lenders") which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable Advances of each Lender pro rata based on the aggregate of the outstanding Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application; provided, that, such amount shall not be applied to any Advances of a Defaulting Lender at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of Advances of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeds such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage of all Advances then outstanding. (c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other 25
Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have Advances outstanding. (d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.15, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. (e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement. III. INTEREST AND FEES. 3.1. Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances (other than outstanding Letters of Credit) outstanding during the month (the "Monthly Advances") at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Revolving Interest Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date and to the extent of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate plus two hundred (200) basis points per annum, as applicable ("Default Rate"). 3.2. Letter of Credit Fees. (a) Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Eurodollar Applicable Margin per annum, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the last day of the Term and (y) to the Issuer, any and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the "Letter of Credit Fees"). All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the 26
Issuer's prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the termination of this Agreement, upon demand, Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to 105% of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its discretion, on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender's possession at any time. Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon payment and performance in full of all Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 3.3. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. If, for any month during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances and the average daily outstanding balance Letters of Credit for each day of such month does not equal the Maximum Loan Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a fee at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Loan Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. Such fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the last Business Day of each month. (b) Collateral Evaluation Fee. Borrowers shall pay Agent a collateral evaluation fee equal to $3,500 per month commencing on the first day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first day of each month thereafter during the Term. The collateral evaluation fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. (c) Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent a $500,000 non-refundable closing fee on the Closing Date ("Closing Fee"), less amounts previously paid by Borrowers to Agent. (d) Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent on the first day of each month following any month in which Agent performs any collateral monitoring, a collateral monitoring fee in an amount equal to $750 per day for each person performing such examination or analysis, plus all costs and disbursements actually incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis. 3.4. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate during such extension. 27
3.5. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. 3.6. Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.6, the term "Lender" shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall: (a) subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent or any Lender); (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent or any Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or (c) impose on Agent or any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be. Agent or such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowers, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 3.7. Basis For Determining Eurodollar Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type 28
of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan into an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan. 3.8 Capital Adequacy. (a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term "Lender" shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent's or any Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent's and each Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.8 shall be available to Agent and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. (b) A certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section 3.8(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such certificate shall be delivered to Borrowing Agent within sixty (60) days of Agent or any Lender determining any such amount or amounts. IV. COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 4.1. Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent and each Lender of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender a continuing security interest in and to all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Borrower shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect Agent's security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest. 29
4.2. Perfection of Security Interest. Each Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent's security interest in the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) at Agent's request and using reasonable best efforts to obtain, landlords' or mortgagees' lien waivers, (iii) upon Agent's request, delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent's security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Agent is hereby authorized to file financing statements signed by Agent instead of Borrower in accordance with Section 9-402(2) of the UCC . All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations, or, at Agent's option, shall be paid to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon demand. 4.3. Disposition of Collateral and Other Assets. Each Borrower will safeguard and protect all Collateral for Agent's general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or otherwise except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1 and the disposition or transfer of obsolete and worn-out Equipment in the ordinary course of such Borrower's business. 4.4. Preservation of Collateral. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent's interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Borrower's premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Borrower's owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Borrower's owned or leased property. Each Borrower shall cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. All of Agent's expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations. 4.5. Ownership of Collateral. With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security interest: (a) each Borrower shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of the its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (b) each document and agreement executed by each Borrower or delivered to Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects; (c) all signatures and endorsements of each 30
Borrower that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and each Borrower shall have full capacity to execute same; and (d) each Borrower's Equipment and Inventory shall be located as set forth on Schedule 4.5 and shall not be removed from such location(s) without the prior written consent of Agent except with respect to the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, Equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4.3 hereof and goods considered to be mobile goods under the UCC. 4.6. Defense of Agent's and Lenders' Interests. Until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, Agent's interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Borrower shall, without Agent's prior written consent, pledge, sell (except Inventory in the ordinary course of business and Equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4.3 hereof), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Borrower shall defend Agent's interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including without limitation: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Borrowers shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Each Borrower shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent's order and if they shall come into any Borrower's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Borrower in trust as Agent's trustee, and such Borrower will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement. 4.7. Books and Records. Each Borrower shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (c) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and all other proper accruals (including without limitation by reason of enumeration, accruals for premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation, obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as shall then be regularly engaged by Borrowers. 4.8. Financial Disclosure. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by such Borrower at any time during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of any Borrower's financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant's or auditor's possession, and to disclose to Agent and each Lender any information such accountants may have concerning such Borrower's financial status and business operations. Each Borrower hereby authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Agent and each Lender copies of reports or examinations relating 31
to such Borrower, whether made by such Borrower or otherwise; however, Agent and each Lender will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from such Borrower prior to obtaining such information or materials from such accountants or such authorities. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Agent shall give Borrowers prior notice of its intention to seek information under this Section 4.8. 4.9. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower shall comply with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to its respective Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Borrower's business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower. The Collateral at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the Collateral so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect. 4.10. Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times (and prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, with reasonable prior notice to Borrowing Agent) Agent and each Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Borrower's books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Borrower's business. Agent, any Lender and their agents may enter upon any of each Borrower's premises at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Borrower's business. 4.11. Insurance. Each Borrower shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At each Borrower's own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Agent, each Borrower shall (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which each Borrower has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Borrower's including, without limitation, business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Borrower insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured's officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Borrower either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (d) maintain all such worker's compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Borrower is engaged in business; (e) maintain foreign credit insurance with an annual limit of not less than $15,000,000 (on terms and with an insurance company acceptable to Agent in its sole but reasonable discretion); and (f) furnish Agent with (i) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a co-insured, additional insured and lender's loss payee as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (c) above, and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (C) that such policies and co-insured, additional insured and lender's loss payee clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice is given to Agent. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the 32
applicable Borrower to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Borrower and Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Borrower's name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (e) above. All loss recoveries received by Agent upon any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by Agent to Borrowers or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, on demand. 4.12. Failure to Pay Insurance. If any Borrower fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Borrower, and charge Borrowers' Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations. 4.13. Payment of Taxes. Each Borrower will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Borrower or any of the Collateral including, without limitation, real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any governmental authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Borrower and Agent or any Lender which Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent's or any Lender's opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may with five (5) days prior notice to Borrowers pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Borrower has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent's security interest in or Lien on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations and, until Borrowers shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to Borrowers' credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by Agent. 4.14. Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent's request will provide evidence of having done so. 4.15. Receivables. (a) Nature of Receivables. Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered 33
(except with respect to Domestic Non-Product Receivables) by a Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Borrower's standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent. At Agent's direction following either the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder or upon Agent's receipt of a notice from Intergraph pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, all invoices for any Maintenance Receivables shall be solely for Maintenance Receivables and no other Receivables not constituting Maintenance Receivables shall be included within such invoice. (b) Solvency of Customers. Each Customer, to the best of each Borrower's knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due or with respect to such Customers of any Borrower who are not solvent such Borrower has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables. (c) Locations of Borrowers. Each Borrower's chief executive office is located at the addresses set forth on Schedule 4.15(c) hereto. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Borrower keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office. (d) Collection of Receivables. Until any Borrower's or any Subsidiary's authority to do so is terminated by Agent (which notice Agent may give at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default or when Agent in its sole discretion deems it to be in Lenders' best interest to do so), each Borrower will, or will cause a Subsidiary, at such Borrower's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account, collect as Agent's property and in trust for Agent all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Borrower's or Subsidiary's funds (except with respect to a Subsidiary, at the direction of Agent)) or use the same except to pay Obligations. Each Borrower shall, upon request, deliver, or cause a Subsidiary to deliver, to Agent, or deposit in the Blocked Account, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness. (e) Notification of Assignment of Receivables. At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's security interest in, the Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent's actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Borrowers' Account and added to the Obligations. (f) Power of Agent to Act on Borrowers' Behalf. Agent shall have the right (but no duty or obligation) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Borrower, or any Subsidiary, any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Borrower hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as such Borrower's attorney and agent with power (i) to endorse such Borrower's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign 34
such Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables; (iii) to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer; (iv) to sign such Borrower's name on all financing statements or any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (v) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to demand payment of the Receivables; (vi) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (vii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to exercise all of Borrowers' rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (viii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; (ix) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables; (x) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to prepare, file and sign such Borrower's name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Customer; (xi) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to prepare, file and sign such Borrower's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables; and (xii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney and agent or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney and agent or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. Agent shall have the right at any time to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Borrower to such address as Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower. (g) No Liability. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom. Agent may, without notice or consent from any Borrower following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Default, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Receivables or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. Agent is authorized and empowered to accept the return of the goods represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by any Borrower, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Borrower's liability hereunder. (h) Establishment of a Lockbox Account, Dominion Account. All proceeds of Collateral shall, at the direction of Agent, be deposited by Borrowers into a lockbox account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts") as Agent may require pursuant to an arrangement with such bank as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Agent. In addition, all proceeds of Receivables generated by a Subsidiary of a Borrower shall, at the direction of Agent, be deposited into a Blocked Account. All proceeds of Receivables generated by a Subsidiary organized outside of the United States shall be deposited in the Foreign Blocked Accounts. Amounts in the excess of $25,000 and Subsidiaries' scheduled working capital requirements (as delivered to Agent) in the Foreign Blocked Accounts shall be transferred weekly (or more frequently if required by Agent) into any one or more accounts designated by Agent. 35
Borrowers shall, or cause Subsidiaries of a Borrower to, issue to any such bank, an irrevocable letter of instruction directing said bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at said bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Account shall immediately become the property of Agent and Borrowers shall, or cause Subsidiaries of a Borrower to, obtain the agreement by such bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder. Alternatively, Agent may establish depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") in the name of Agent at a bank or banks for the deposit of such funds and Borrowers shall deposit all proceeds of Collateral, or cause Subsidiaries of a Borrower to deposit all proceeds of Receivables, or cause same to be deposited, in kind, in such Depository Accounts of Agent in lieu of depositing same to the Blocked Accounts. (i) Adjustments. No Borrower will, without Agent's consent, compromise or adjust any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the business of such Borrower. 4.16. Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Borrower, it has been and will be produced by such Borrower, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder. 4.17. Maintenance of Equipment. The Equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment shall be maintained and preserved. No Borrower shall use or operate the Equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation. 4.18. Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Borrower's agent for any purpose whatsoever (except to the extent necessary, and subject to the terms of the preamble of this Article IV, for granting and the exercise of any powers of attorney contained herein), nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 4.19. Environmental Matters. (a) Borrowers shall ensure that the Real Property remains in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and they shall not place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real Property except as permitted by applicable law or appropriate governmental authorities. (b) Borrowers shall establish and maintain a system to assure and monitor 36
continued compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws which system shall include periodic reviews of such compliance. (c) Borrowers shall (i) employ in connection with the use of the Real Property appropriate technology necessary to maintain compliance with any applicable Environmental Laws and (ii) dispose of any and all Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property only at facilities and with carriers that maintain valid permits under RCRA and any other applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certificates of disposal, such as hazardous waste manifest receipts, from all treatment, transport, storage or disposal facilities or operators employed by Borrowers in connection with the transport or disposal of any Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property. (d) In the event any Borrower obtains, gives or receives notice of any Release or threat of Release of a reportable quantity of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a "Hazardous Discharge") or receives any notice of violation, request for information or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation or cleanup of environmental conditions at the Real Property, demand letter or complaint, order, citation, or other written notice with regard to any Hazardous Discharge or violation of Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or any Borrower's interest therein (any of the foregoing is referred to herein as an "Environmental Complaint") from any Person, including any state agency responsible in whole or in part for environmental matters in the state in which the Real Property is located or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (any such person or entity hereinafter the "Authority"), then Borrowing Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written notice of same to Agent detailing facts and circumstances of which any Borrower is aware giving rise to the Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. Such information is to be provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in the Real Property and the Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. (e) Borrowers shall promptly forward to Agent copies of any request for information, notification of potential liability, demand letter relating to potential responsibility with respect to the investigation or cleanup of Hazardous Substances at any other site owned, operated or used by any Borrower to dispose of Hazardous Substances and shall continue to forward copies of correspondence between any Borrower and the Authority regarding such claims to Agent until the claim is settled. Borrowers shall promptly forward to Agent copies of all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Real Property that any Borrower is required to file under any Environmental Laws. Such information is to be provided solely to allow Agent to protect Agent's security interest in the Real Property and the Collateral. (f) Borrowers shall respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. If any Borrower shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint or any Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent's interest in Collateral: (A) give such notices or (B) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to clean up, remove, mitigate or otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and expenses 37
incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by Borrowers, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Borrower. (g) Promptly upon the written request of Agent from time to time, Borrowers shall provide Agent, at Borrowers' expense, with an environmental site assessment or environmental audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the potential costs in connection with abatement, cleanup and removal of any Hazardous Substances found on, under, at or within the Real Property. Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to an appropriate Authority that is charged to oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous Discharge shall be acceptable to Agent. If such estimates, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $100,000, Agent shall have the right to require Borrowers to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure payment of these costs and expenses. (h) Borrowers shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent, Lenders and their respective employees, agents, directors and officers harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense, claims, costs, fines and penalties, including attorney's fees, suffered or incurred by Agent or Lenders under or on account of any Environmental Laws and arising out of or relating to Borrowers or any of the Real Property, including, without limitation, the assertion of any Lien thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property, whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. Borrowers' obligations under this Section 4.19 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances. Borrowers' obligation and the indemnifications hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. (i) For purposes of Section 4.19 and 5.7, all references to Real Property shall be deemed to include all of Borrowers' right, title and interest in and to its owned and leased premises. 4.20.

XI. LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT. 11.1. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other 58
Events of Default and at any time thereafter (such default not having previously been cured), Agent shall have the right to decrease the Receivables Advance Rate and at the option of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances and (iii) a filing of a petition against any Borrower in any involuntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any of any Borrower's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Borrower therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Borrowers to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Borrowers reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowers at least seven (7) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Agent is granted permission to use all of each Borrower's trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with (a) Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied as follows: first, to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Agent for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral; second, to interest due upon any of the Obligations and any fees payable under this Agreement; and, third, to the principal of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor. 11.2. Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Other Documents shall be deemed to compel Agent to accept a cure of any Event of Default. 11.3. Setoff. In addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right to apply any Borrower's property held by Agent and such Lender to reduce the Obligations. 59
11.4. Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative. XII. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. 12.1. Waiver of Notice. Each Borrower hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein. 12.2. Delay. No delay or omission on Agent's or any Lender's part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any default. 12.3. JURY WAIVER. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. XIII. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION. 13.1. Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Borrower, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2003 (the "Initial Term") or sooner terminated as herein provided. Agent and Lenders may, at their sole and absolute option, elect to renew and extend this Agreement for additional one (1) year periods (each a "Renewal Term") upon such terms and conditions acceptable to Agent, Lenders and Borrowers. Agent and Lenders shall endeavor to provide notice to Borrowing Agent prior to December 31, 2002 (and at each time in the future at which time there are two (2) years remaining under the Terms of this Agreement, if any), of its intention to either renew or not renew this Agreement beyond the Initial Term or then applicable Renewal Term (if any), but failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of Agent and/or any Lender or result in any extension of this Agreement. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) 60
days' prior written notice upon payment in full of the Obligations. In the event the Obligations are prepaid and refinanced with another financial institution in full prior to the last day of the Term (the date of such prepayment hereinafter referred to as the "Early Termination Date"), Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders an early termination fee in an amount equal to (x) 2.0% of the Maximum Loan Amount if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) 1.0% of the Maximum Loan Amount if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) 0.5% of the Maximum Loan Amount if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the last day of the Term. 13.2. Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Borrower's, Agent's or any Lender's rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers' Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations hereunder that survive the termination of this Agreement) of each Borrower have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or each Borrower has furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Borrower waives any rights which it may have under Section 9-404(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Borrower, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all Obligations are paid or performed in full. XIV. REGARDING AGENT. 14.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees charges and collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including without limitation, collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or applicable law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto. 61
14.2. Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. 14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default. Agent may resign on sixty (60) days' written notice to each of Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders (and prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, with Borrowers' consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers. Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 62
14.4. Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 14.5. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care. 14.6. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders. 14.7. Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the Advances (or, if no Advances are outstanding, according to its Commitment Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct. 14.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 14.9. Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required 63
under Sections 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8 from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders. 14.10. Borrowers' Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement. 14.11. Miscellaneous. (a) Agent shall administer this Agreement and the Other Documents and service the Obligations with the same degree of care as Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type held for its own account. (b) Agent and Lenders have agreed that Agent shall administer the Advances and maintain records in connection with Advances in accordance with this Agreement and that the relationship between Agent and Lenders with respect to Advances shall be only as provided in this Agreement. (c) Agent shall hold in its possession, at its offices at, or at such other location as Agent shall designate in writing, the originals of this Agreement and the Other Documents (except for the Notes), for the benefit of itself and Lenders. Agent shall keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all matters pertaining to the Advances. Upon reasonable prior notice to Agent, the files and records shall be made available to any Lender and its representatives and agents for inspection and copying during normal business hours. (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, in each instance: (i) receive, review and process all documents, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, reports, requisitions and other materials of every nature and description submitted by, or on behalf of, Borrowers or any other party, and distribute same for review by Lenders; (ii) fund the Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents; (iii) receive all payments of principal, interest, fees and other charges paid by, or on behalf of, Borrowers and distribute such funds to Lenders as specifically required in this Agreement; (iv) enforce all of the rights, remedies and privileges afforded or available to Lenders under the terms of this Agreement and the Other Documents, any opinion, certificates, warranties, representations or insurance policies furnished by or on behalf of Borrowers or any other party (but only after election to declare an Event of Default or Default and/or to accelerate the Obligations as provided in this Agreement); and (v) do or refrain from doing all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary or incident to the implementation, administration or servicing of the Advances and the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lenders. (e) In no event shall Agent be required to take any action which exposes the directors, officers, agents or employees of Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or applicable law. In acting hereunder as Agent (including, without limitation, the taking and holding of the Collateral), Agent shall be acting for the account of and as agent for all Lenders, to the extent of their respective pro rata shares in the Advances. 64
(f) In the event that all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Agent as the result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrowers' Obligations, title to any such Collateral or any portion thereof shall be held in the name of Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent (which in any case is authorized to do business in the state in which such Collateral is located), in any case as agent, for the ratable benefit of Agent and Lenders. Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired and administer all transactions relating thereto in its reasonable business judgment, including, without limitation, if Agent so determines, employing a management agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the same of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expense of such Collateral. Upon demand therefor by Agent from time to time, each Lender will contribute its pro rata share of all costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, Agent shall render or cause to be rendered by Agent, to each Lender, monthly, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its pro rata share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Agent shall deem reasonably necessary. Lenders acknowledge that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine to be most advantageous. XV. BORROWING AGENCY. 15.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent. (b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party. (c) All Obligations of Borrowers shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted to Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, failure of Agent or any 65
Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower's Obligations or the lack thereof. 15.2. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers' property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations. XVI. MISCELLANEOUS. 16.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at the Agent's and/or any Lender's option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Borrower irrevocably appoints as such Borrower's Agent for the purpose of accepting service within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Any judicial proceeding by any Borrower against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of Philadelphia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . 16.2. Entire Understanding. (a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Borrower's, Agent's and each Lender's respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in 66
connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. (b) The Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders, and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2 (b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Borrowers thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof of waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders: (i) increase the Commitment Percentage or maximum dollar commitment of any Lender. (ii) extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by Borrowers to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement. (iii) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b). (iv) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000. (v) change the rights and duties of Agent. (vi) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or exceed 105% of the Formula Amount. (vii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date. Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon. In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such Lender shall not respond or reply to Agent in writing within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to matter that was the subject of the request. In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then PNC may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to PNC or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by the Agent (the 67
"Designated Lender"), for a price equal to the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event PNC elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to PNC or to the Designated Lender, PNC will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to PNC or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, PNC or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to the lesser of 105% of the Formula Amount or $1,000,000 for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be "Eligible Receivables" becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than 10%, Agent shall decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the ability of Revolving Advances to be deemed to be made pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.2. 16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. (b) Each Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a "Transferee"); provided however (i) all amounts payable by Borrowers to each Lender shall be determined as if such Lender had not granted such participation and (ii) any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation: (A) shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrowers hereunder including without the right to approve to any modification, amendment or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement and (B) such participation may provide that such Lender will not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement without the consent of the Transferee if such amendment, modification or waiver would reduce the principal of or rate of interest on the Obligations, increase the amount of the Maximum Loan Amount, postpone the date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations, or release any Collateral hereunder. Each Transferee may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof provided that Borrowers shall not be 68
required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Borrowers be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee. Each Borrower hereby grants to any Transferee a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security for the Transferee's interest in the Advances. (c) Any Lender may with the consent of Agent (and prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Borrowing Agent) which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional banks or financial institutions and one or more additional banks or financial institutions may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a commitment transfer supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such commitment transfer supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such commitment transfer supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such commitment transfer supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the commitment transfer supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such commitment transfer supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrowers hereby consent to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. (d) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each commitment transfer supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Advances owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment to such Purchasing Lender. (e) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee or Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing Lender any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Borrower, subject to a confidentiality arrangement between such Lender and prospective Transferee. 69
16.4. Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. 16.5. Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or any Lender in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the willful misconduct of the party being indemnified. 16.6. Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to any Borrower or to Agent or any Lender at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section.

Severability.

Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower fails to 71
perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. 16.11. Consequential Damages. Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Borrower for consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations. 16.12.

EXHIBIT 10.2 FIRST AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT This First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement ("Amendment") is made as of the 4th day of October, 2001 by and among Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Bentley"), Bentley Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Bentley Software"), and Atlantech Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Atlantech") (each an "Borrower" and collectively "Borrowers"), the financial institutions which are now or which hereafter become a party hereto (collectively, the "Lenders" and individually a "Lender") and PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), as agent for Lenders (PNC, in such capacity, the "Agent"). BACKGROUND A. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders are parties to a certain Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated December 26, 2000 (as modified and amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Borrowers established certain financing arrangements with Agent and Lenders. The Loan Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements executed in connection therewith or related thereto are referred to herein collectively as the "Existing Loan Documents". All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement. B. Borrowers have requested and Lenders have agreed to amend the Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment. NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference and made a part hereof and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows: 1. Amendment. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended and modified in the following manner: (a) Foreign Non-Product Receivable. The following new definition is added to Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement: "Foreign Non-Product Receivable" shall mean a Receivable generated by a Borrower's rendition of maintenance services, and owing from a Customer located outside of the United States and the sale is on letter of credit, guaranty, credit insurance or acceptance terms, in each case acceptable to Agent in its sole but reasonable discretion. (b) Eligible Receivables. The definition of "Eligible Receivables" contained in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: "Eligible Receivables" shall mean and include with respect to each Borrower (or in the case of Foreign Product Receivables and Foreign Non-Product Receivables, a Subsidiary of a Borrower), each Domestic 1
Product Receivable, Domestic Non-Product Receivable, Foreign Product Receivable, or Foreign Non-Product Receivable of such Borrower or Subsidiary, as applicable, arising in the ordinary course of such Borrower's business and which Agent, in its sole but reasonable credit judgment in good faith, shall deem to be an Eligible Receivable, based on such considerations as Agent may from time to time deem appropriate.

Exhibit 10.4 PROMISSORY NOTE $____________ August 6, 1999 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, [______________], ("Maker"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Payee"), on the earlier of August 6, 2004 (the "Maturity Date"), the date specified in paragraph 5 below or upon the demand of the holder subsequent to an Event of Default (as defined in the Stock Pledge Agreement between Maker and Payee of even date herewith (the "Stock Pledge Agreement")), the principal amount of [___________] Dollars ($____________), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from the date hereof and until this Note is paid in full, whether before or after maturity, at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, and, to the extent lawful, to pay interest at the same rate on any overdue installment of interest. 1. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 365 days and shall be paid on the business day coincident with or first following August 6, 2000 and August 6 of each year (or partial year) thereafter. 2. Payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by cash or check at Bentley Systems, Incorporated, 690 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, PA 19341 or at such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate to Maker in writing. 3. Maker may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. 4. This Note is the note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, and is secured as provided in, the Stock Pledge Agreement. Reference is hereby made to such agreement for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security and the rights of the holder of this Note in respect thereof. 5. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, all amounts payable hereunder shall, without notice or demand, become due and payable at such times as are indicated below, and the holder shall thereupon have all rights and remedies provided hereunder, in any other agreement between Payee and Maker or otherwise available at law or in equity: (a) In the event Maker's employment with Payee terminates for any reason (including death) prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued interest hereon, shall become due and payable not later than 90 days following the date of termination. (b) In the event of a Change of Control of Payee, the outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued interest hereon, shall become due and payable not later than 90 days following the Change of Control. A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have taken place if: 1
(1) any person or entity, including a "group" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) but excluding Payee or any stockholder of Payee as of the date of this Agreement who are part of a "group" that controls Payee as of the date hereof, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of Payee having 50 percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of Payee; (2) there occurs any cash tender or exchange offer for shares of Payee, merger or other business combination involving Payee, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Payee, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, and as a result of or in connection with any such event persons who were directors of Payee before the event shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Payee or any successor to Payee; or (3) during any period of two consecutive calendar years beginning after the date of the initial public offering of the common stock of Payee, members of the Incumbent Board cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board. For this purpose, the "Incumbent Board" shall consist of the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the entire Board and any new director - other than a director (i) designated or nominated by, or affiliated with, a person who has entered into an agreement with Payee to effect a transaction described in (2) above, or (ii) who initially assumed office as result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act), or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or contest by or on behalf of a person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest"), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest - whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the stockholders of Payee was approved by a vote of at least 2/3rds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved. (4) As used in (1), (2), and (3) above, the terms "person" and "beneficial owner" have the same meaning as such terms under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. (c) Initial Public Offering. In the event of an initial public offering of equity securities of Payee which is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued interest hereon, shall become due and payable no later than six months following the initial public offering. 6. No failure or delay on the part of the holder to insist on strict performance of Maker's obligations hereunder or to exercise any remedy shall constitute a waiver of the holder's rights in that or any other instance. No waiver of any of the holder's rights shall be effective unless in writing, and any waiver of any default or any instance of non-compliance shall be limited to its express terms and shall not extend to any other default or instance of non-compliance. 2
7. Maker and each endorser hereby waives presentment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of payment of this Note, and hereby waives all notice or right of approval of any extensions, renewals, modifications or forbearances which may be allowed. 8. Any proceeding relating to this Note may be instituted in any federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania or any state court located in Chester County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Maker irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any such court and waives any objection Maker may have to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court based on improper venue or forum non conveniens. Because of the greater time and expense required therefor, Maker hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, a trial by jury. 9. Maker shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the holder relating to the enforcement of this Note. 10. Any provision hereof found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder hereof. 11. If the effective interest rate on this Note would otherwise violate any applicable usury law, then the interest rate shall be reduced to the maximum permissible rate and any payment received by the holder in excess of the maximum permissible rate shall be treated as a prepayment of the principal of this Note. 12. This Note shall be binding upon Maker's heirs, personal representatives and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each holder of this Note and such holder's heirs, personal representatives, successors, endorsees and assigns. 13. This Note has been delivered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall be governed by the laws of that Commonwealth. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, has duly executed and delivered this instrument. By: ------------------- [-----------------]

Borrower further promises to pay interest at such address in like money, from the date hereof on the outstanding principal amount owing hereunder from time to time, at a rate per annum equal to nine and one-half percent (9.5%) per annum. Such interest shall be computed daily on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of days elapsed. In no event shall interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate under applicable law. This note is delivered pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among Borrower, Payee and the other parties thereto dated as of December 26, 2000 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 1, 2001, the principal balance owing under this Note shall, as applicable, be increased or decreased so as to equal one and one-half (1.5) times the Transferred Maintenance Revenues, such adjustment to be effective as of the date of this Note (any increase in such principal amount being referred to as the "Additional Principal"). If an adjustment to the principal balance of this Note occurs pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement on June 1, 2001, the principal balance owed under this Note shall, as applicable, be increased or decreased so as to equal one
and one-half (1.5) times the Transferred Maintenance Revenues, such adjustment to be effective as of the date of this Note.

The amount of the first four (4) quarterly payments of principal and interest shall be One Million Seventy-three Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen Dollars ($1,073,916.00). The amount of the quarterly payments of principal and interest after any adjustment made to the principal amount of this Note pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be equal to the amount necessary to amortize the unpaid principal amount owing as of the date of any such adjustment, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein, over the remaining quarterly periods by making equal payments of principal and interest on the dates provided for herein. Borrower may prepay any amount then owing hereunder, in whole or in part, at any time, but if less than all, must do so in principal amount increments of 1,000,000; provided however, that Borrower may not prepay any of the Additional Principal or the RMR Principal prior to the time it has been determined hereunder. This Note is the "Note" referred to in the Security Agreement and Borrower's obligations hereunder are secured thereby. Borrower agrees that if (i) Borrower fails to pay, in accordance with the terms of this Note, any principal or interest within five (5) days after written notice from Payee that such amount remains unpaid following the date that such sum is due, or (ii) there is an Event of Default under the Security Agreement; then in any such event (each an "Event of Default") all amounts then remaining unpaid hereunder shall, at the option of Payee upon written notice to Borrower, be immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the obligations as provided above, Payee may pursue any remedy available under this Note or available at law or in equity. No right or remedy conferred upon Payee in this Note, the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained in this Note, the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative in addition to every other right or remedy contained herein or therein or now or hereafter available to Payee at law, in equity or otherwise. -2-
Except to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary, all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be due and payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or further notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Note will not affect any other provision of this Note, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, nor will the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of a portion of any provision of this Note affect the balance of such provision. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note or any portion thereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Note shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. No failure of Payee in any one or more instances to insist upon strict compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Note or to enforce any right hereunder or otherwise shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of Borrower or right of Payee with respect to any failure of Borrower to comply with the terms and conditions hereof. This Note may be modified or canceled only by the written agreement of Borrower and Payee.

Collection of Accounts. At any time after an Event of Default, the Debtor shall notify Secured Party of any collections received on the Maintenance Agreements and Receivables and shall hold the same in trust for Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of the Debtor and, if Secured Party shall request, shall turn the same over to Secured Party immediately upon receipt in the identical form received. Proceeds transmitted to Secured Party may be handled and administered in and through a remittance or special account; the maintenance of any such account shall be solely for the convenience of Secured Party, and the Debtor shall not have any right, title, or interest in or to any such account or in the amounts at any time appearing to the credit thereof.

Rights and Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party, at its option and without the necessity of any presentment, demand or notice(s) of default, intent to accelerate, demand or acceleration, or any other notices, all of which are expressly waived by the Debtor, may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable in full, and Debtor shall thereupon pay all such Obligations immediately to Secured Party in full; provided that such acceleration of the Obligations shall occur and be automatic upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (e) of Section 7. (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have (i) right to bring suit for collection of the Obligations, (ii) right to collect and foreclose upon any or all of the Collateral and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, (iii) all of the other rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity by applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, orders, injunctions, writs, or decrees of any governmental or political subdivision or agency thereof, or any court or similar entity established by any such subdivision or agency, and (iv) right to require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party upon request at a place designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Any and all payments received by Secured Party from Debtor after an Event of Default and any amounts received by Secured Party from the liquidation, collection or disposition of Collateral shall be applied first to costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in protecting or enforcing its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Promissory Note and/or applicable law, and then to any and all Obligations in such order or manner as Secured Party determines in its discretion, unless otherwise required by law. Without limiting Secured Party's rights or Debtor's obligations under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other instrument or agreement, the Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency after realization upon the Collateral and application of the proceeds as set forth above. Debtor hereby grants Secured Party a power of attorney to execute and deliver as Debtor's attorney-in-fact at any time upon and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default any and all instruments and agreements as Secured Party deems desirable to collect, sell or liquidate any and all Collateral. All of the foregoing rights and remedies are cumulative. 9. No Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any right, power, or privilege shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver of any provision in this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. No modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. All rights and remedies of Secured Party are cumulative. 10. Additional Obligations of Debtor. Secured Party shall not in any way be responsible for the performance of any obligations of Debtor under the Maintenance Agreements and Receivables, or for any failure to do any or all of the actions for which rights, interests, powers, and authority are herein granted. Debtor shall defend and indemnify Secured Party against any claims by anyone against Secured Party alleging any liability of Secured Party arising under the Maintenance Agreements and Receivables (but not the products covered by such Maintenance Agreements and Receivables, liability for which shall be governed by the Asset Purchase Agreement). The failure of Secured Party to take any of the actions or exercise any right, interest, power or authority granted to Secured Party hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such right, interest, power or authority. Debtor will execute upon the request of Secured Party any and all further documents, assignments or instruments that Secured Party reasonably deems appropriate or necessary to evidence or effectuate this Agreement or grant or confirm the rights and interests given to Secured Party hereunder. Debtor will fulfill and perform each and every obligation of Debtor under the Maintenance Agreements and Receivables unless the failure to do so is consistent with prudent business practices and does not materially impair or reduce the Collateral. 11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and given by (a) personal delivery, (b) expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the intended addressee at the address on the first page of this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been received either, in the case of expedited delivery service or personal delivery, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address, or in the case of mail, upon deposit in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service (provided Secured Party shall not be bound by any notice until it actually receives the same). Either party shall have the right to change its address for notice under
this Agreement to any other location within the continental United States by notice to the other party of such new address at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such new address. 12. GOVERNING LAWS. THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA. 13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any related instrument or agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and ineffective and the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any related agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance. 14. Costs. Debtor shall pay to Secured Party on demand all out of pocket costs and expenses of Secured Party (including, without limitation, legal fees, filing fees, recording costs, insurance premiums, taxes (with the exception of Secured Party's income, excise and franchise taxes) and search fees) incurred in connection with protecting and/or enforcing Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Promissory Note which are incurred by Secured Party after a breach or default under either of them. 15. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made by or on behalf of the Debtor in connection with this Agreement will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed continuing representations, warranties, covenants and agreements until such time as the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. 16. Waivers. Debtor waives demand, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, dishonor, notice of protest, all other notices, presentment, protest, and any and all rights to and of exemption. 17.

Debtor agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to any other assignment and/or delegation by Secured Party. 18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Promissory Note, together with any documents and instruments executed in connection herewith and any related instruments and agreements, embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof. 19. No Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement, the Promissory Note or to any related instrument or agreement. All conditions to
Secured Party's obligations under this Agreement are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Secured Party. Neither the Debtor nor any other person shall have standing to require satisfaction of any such condition or be entitled to assume that Secured Party will insist upon strict compliance with any or all such conditions, and neither the Debtor nor any other person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of any conditions hereof, any or all of which conditions may be waived freely, in whole or in part by Secured Party at any time if, in its sole discretion, Secured Party deems it advisable so to do. 20. Modifications. No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless placed in writing and duly executed by Secured Party and Debtor.

RECITALS (a) Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 18, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among, inter alia, the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchaser purchased from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000: 1,552,450 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"); and subject to the terms of this Agreement, 2,171,028 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). (b) Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a stock certificate (the "Certificate") in the name of the Purchaser, evidencing the Common Stock is contemporaneously herewith being placed into escrow (the "Escrow") by the Company for distribution pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The Escrow Agent has agreed to act as escrow agent on the terms and conditions specified herein. NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent; Acceptance of Appointment. The Company and the Purchaser hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as escrow agent hereunder and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment. 2. Delivery of the Certificate into the Escrow; Voting and Dividend Rights. In accordance with Section 1.2(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has delivered the Certificate and the Purchaser has delivered executed copies of stock powers, endorsed in blank to transfer the Certificate, to the Escrow Agent to be held in the Escrow. Until released from the Escrow, Purchaser shall have all voting and dividend rights (which the Company and the Purchaser shall transmit to the Escrow Agent) relating to the Common Stock. Additionally, until the shares of Common Stock are released from the Escrow, all cash dividends, interest and premiums declared and paid on the Common Stock, as well as any additional shares which are issued with respect to the Common Stock as a result of any stock dividend, as payment in lieu of any interest on dividends, by reclassification or otherwise (the "Additional Escrow Amount") shall be held by the Escrow Agent until the shares of Common Stock to which they relate are released from the Escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which case the Additional Escrow Amount shall be released together with such shares. The Escrow Agent shall invest cash pursuant to the written instructions of the Company, and in the absence of such instructions, in the U.S. Government portfolio of the Rodney Square Fund, a mutual fund managed by Rodney Square Management Corporation, a subsidiary of the Escrow Agent. 3. Compensation of the Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be compensated for its services as provided in Section 5(d). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including, without limitation, the fees and costs of attorneys or agents whom it may find necessary to engage in the performance of its duties hereunder. The Company shall be liable to the Escrow Agent for such compensation and reimbursement.
4. Release of the Escrow. a. Shares of Common Stock shall be released from the Escrow in such number, to such persons or entities and at such times as are specified in the written instructions that the Company or the Purchaser shall provide from time to time to the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Instructions"). The Company or the Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Instructions in accordance with and as provided in Exhibit A hereto and such Escrow Instructions from the Purchaser or, if applicable, from the Company shall contain a certification that the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof have been met. Examples of the calculations specified in Exhibit A are set forth in Exhibit B hereto. Upon receipt of the Escrow Instructions the Escrow Agent shall transmit a copy of the Escrow Instructions to the other party. When shares are to be released, the Escrow Agent shall transmit the Certificate (or any replacement stock certificate) to the Company (or, if applicable, its transfer agent) with a copy of the applicable Escrow Instructions. Subject to Sections 4(b) and 4(c), the Company (or, if applicable, its transfer agent) shall issue stock certificates in accordance with such Escrow Instructions and deliver the stock certificates to the applicable persons and/or entities and deliver a certificate for any balance to the Escrow Agent, in the name of the Purchaser. b. If either the Company or the Purchaser gives written notice to the other and the Escrow Agent disputing any Escrow Instructions (a "Counter Notice") within 20 days following the date the Escrow Instructions are delivered to the other party, such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 4(c). If no Counter Notice is received by the Escrow Agent within such 20-day period, then the Escrow Instructions shall be deemed mutually agreed to for purposes of this Agreement at the end of such 20-day period. The Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether the Escrow Instructions comply with the requirements of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the calculations set forth in Exhibit B hereto. c. If a Counter Notice is received, the Escrow Agent shall release the shares requested in the Escrow Instructions only in accordance with (i) joint written instructions of the Company and the Purchaser or (ii) a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any court order shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party satisfactory to the Escrow Agent to the effect that the order is final and non-appealable. The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with such court order and legal opinion without further question. d. Notwithstanding the above, the Escrow Agent shall not release to the Purchaser any of the Common Stock from the Escrow pursuant to this Section 4 unless and until the Purchaser either (i) exercises its right to have the Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company (the "Redemption Right") as provided in the Amended Certificate (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or (ii) waives the Redemption Right through the conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Amended Certificate; provided, however, that, if the Purchaser exercises its Redemption Right and the payment is made pursuant to Section 3 of the Amended Certificate, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any of the Common Stock released from the Escrow and such Common Stock shall be distributed to the Pre-Closing Shareholders (as defined below) in accordance with Section 4(e). As applicable, the Company or the Purchaser shall provide Escrow Instructions in accordance with the foregoing promptly upon the exercise or waiver of the Redemption Right. e. For purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Instructions, "Pre-Closing Shareholders" shall mean any shareholders owning stock in the Company both immediately prior to the date hereof and as certified to the Escrow Agent by the Company as of the close of business on the date the Escrow Instructions are provided to the Escrow Agent. Any time a distribution is earned back or required to be made to the Pre-Closing Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement and Exhibit A hereto, it shall be made to the Pre-Closing Shareholders that still own shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date the Escrow Instructions are provided to the Escrow Agent in proportion to the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by each Pre-Closing Shareholder as of the close of business on the date the Escrow Instructions are provided to the Escrow Agent up to but not exceeding the number of shares owned by each such Pre-Closing Shareholder immediately prior to the date hereof. 5. Matters Relating to the Escrow Agent. a. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. In acting hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted to be done, by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. b. The Escrow Agent may only act on and rely upon the Escrow Instructions to which no objection has been received pursuant to Section 4, or such other joint written instructions received from the Company and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(c); provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may also rely upon a final non-appealable court order as provided in Section 4(c). The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any such writings or instruments or any signatures thereon which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, and may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such writings or instruments and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. c. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. d. The Company shall pay to the Escrow Agent an initial fee of $1500 and $2000 per year thereafter for its services hereunder. In the event the Escrow Agent renders any extraordinary services in connection with the Escrow at the request of the parties, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to additional compensation therefor. The Escrow Agent shall have a first lien against the Escrow to secure the obligations of the Company hereunder. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. e. The Company and the Purchaser, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and against all liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, and any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Escrow Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as escrow agent under this Agreement or arising out of the existence of the Escrow, except to the extent the same shall be caused by the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In so agreeing to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Escrow Agent, the parties intend thereby to cover all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, and counsel fees and disbursements, which may be imposed upon the Escrow Agent or incurred in connection with its acceptance of appointment as escrow agent hereunder or the performing of its duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have a first lien against the Escrow to secure the obligations of the Company hereunder. As between the Company and the Purchaser, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover any amounts paid with respect to the indemnification of the Escrow Agent. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. f. In the event the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in refraining from acting until such conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action contemplated by this Agreement in the event that it becomes aware of any disagreement between the parties hereto as to any material facts or as to the happening of any contemplated event precedent to such action, but the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge thereof unless and until it has received notice thereof from any party hereto. The Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time it deems appropriate to seek an adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction as to the respective rights of the parties hereto and shall not be held liable by any party hereto for any delay or the consequences of any delay occasioned by such resort to the court. In addition, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to institute a bill of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties, and the parties shall pay all costs, expenses and disbursements in connection therewith, including attorneys' fees. g. The Escrow Agent may resign as such following the giving of thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other parties hereto. Similarly, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced following the giving of thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the Purchaser. In either event, the duties of the Escrow Agent shall terminate thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (or as of such earlier date as may be mutually agreeable), and the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the balance of the Escrow then in its possession to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Company and the Purchaser as evidenced by a written notice filed with the Escrow Agent. If the Company and the Purchaser are unable to agree upon a successor or shall have failed to appoint a successor prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appropriate relief. Any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Upon acknowledgment by any successor escrow agent of the receipt of the then remaining balance of the Escrow, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities, and obligations under this Agreement. 6. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, or other communication permitted or required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if delivered in person one day after being sent via reputable national overnight courier to the following address: -2-

EXHIBIT A: RULES GOVERNING DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES HELD IN ESCROW The Class B Common Stock in escrows A1, A2, B1 and B2 will be divided between the Investor and the Pre-Closing Shareholders and distributed at the time and based on the methodology described below: 1) COMPANY IS NEITHER SOLD NOR OUT OF AN IPO LOCKUP BEFORE FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CLOSING a) Escrow A1, A2, B1 and B2 distributed to Investor upon conversion of Preferred or waiver of Redemption Right as provided in the Escrow Agreement. Upon redemption of Preferred, the escrow is distributed to Pre-Closing Shareholders. 2) COMPANY IS OUT OF IPO LOCKUP BEFORE FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CLOSING a) During any full quarter that is (i) after the end of the underwriter-imposed lockup period and (ii) before or ending at the end of year 4, the Pre-Closing Shareholders can earn back Escrow A1 and/or Escrow B1 by having the "Deemed Market Cap" for the Company exceed the relevant thresholds shown in columns 1 and 3 on the attached Exhibit C (the Deemed Market Cap is computed by averaging the closing price per share of the Company for all trading days during the quarter (but eliminating the 5 highest and 5 lowest closing prices before averaging), and multiplying such averaged price per share by 28,546,662 shares, plus the number of shares issued in the Company's public offering(s)). Shares earned back shall be released from Escrow and distributed to the Pre-Closing Shareholders immediately following the quarter when earned. b) During any full quarter that is (i) after the end of the underwriter-imposed lockup period and (ii) before or ending at the end of year 4, the Pre-Closing Shareholders can earn back Escrow A2 and/or Escrow B2 by having the Deemed Market Cap for the Company exceed the relevant thresholds shown in columns 2 and 4 on the attached Exhibit C. Shares earned back shall be released from Escrow and distributed to the Pre-Closing Shareholders immediately following the quarter when earned. c) At the end of year 4, the remaining "Escrow Shares", if any, will be distributed as follows: i) Define "Escrow Shares" as the total number of shares, if any, remaining in Escrows A1, A2, B1 and B2 four years after Closing. ii) Define "#EscrowsLeft" based on the following formula: EscrowShares # EscrowsLeft = ------------ 1,085,514 iii) Define "MktCap" as the average closing market capitalization of the company during the 60 trading days leading up to the end of year 4, but eliminating the 5 highest and 5 lowest market caps before averaging. iv) Define "TFS" as the fully diluted company shares outstanding at end of Year 4. v) Number of shares from escrow distributed to Investor is: DeemedMktCap - $500m 1,552,450 $60m + ($3.75m X (#EscrowsLeft) X Min( Max( --------------------,0),1))-(--------- X MktCap) $800m TFS Max[Min[-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,1],0] X EscrowShares EscrowShares ------------ X MktCap TFS vi) Escrowed shares not released to the Investor are released pro-rata among remaining pre-Closing shareholders in the proportion that they still own pre-closing shares. 3) COMPANY IS SOLD WITHIN FOUR YEARS.
a) At the time of sale, the company's original shareholders can earn back Escrows A1, A2, B1 and/or B2 by having (the sale price multiplied by 28,546,662 plus shares issued in the Company's public offering(s), if any, and divided by the total fully-diluted shares outstanding on the date of sale (the "Deemed Sales Price")) exceed the relevant thresholds shown in columns 5 and 6 on the attached Exhibit C. b) Define "Escrow Shares" as the total number of shares remaining in Escrows A1, A2, B1, and B2 on the date of sale (after the effect of 3(a), above). c) Define "#EscrowsLeft" based on the following formula: EscrowShares #EscrowsLeft = ----------------- 1,085,514 d) Define "MktCap" as the sale price of the Company. e) Define "TFS" as the total fully diluted company shares outstanding on the date of sale. f) Define "CappedReturn" as follows depending when a sale transaction closes: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF A SALE CLOSES ... - --------------------------------------------------------------- THE "CAPPED RETURN" IS EQUAL TO: ON OR AFTER ...

For example, Min(1,5,-3) is -3, and Min(2,16,4) is 2.
b) Max(a,b,...) is defined as a function which returns the maximum value of any of its supplied parameters. For example, Max(1,5,-3) is 5, and Max(2,l6,4) is 16. c) Escrows A1, A2, B1, and B2 each contain 542,757 shares of Class B Common Stock at Closing.
EXHIBIT B: EXAMPLE OF CALCULATION Example Scenario Assumptions - - Company has completed an IPO and is out of an IPO lock-up before the four-year anniversary of closing. - - Company has reached a "Deemed Market Cap" of $700 million in the sixteenth quarter which Deemed Market Cap is higher than any prior quarter, such that none of the threshold levels for escrow release in Exhibit C were previously achieved. - - Market Cap = $750,000,000 - - TFS = Total Fully-Diluted Shares = 28,546,662 Results - - Shares held in escrows A1 & A2 (1,085,514 shares total) are earned back by the Pre-Closing Shareholders (and therefore immediately released from Escrow to the Pre-Closing Shareholders), but not escrows B1 & B2. - - Escrow Shares = 1,085,514 - - Escrows Left = 1 - - Therefore, escrow shares distributed to the Investor at the end of year four:

BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED 1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE MARCH 4, 1996) WHEREAS, Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") desires to amend and restate the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of March 4, 1996, the Plan is hereby amended and restated as follows: 1. Purpose. The Plan is intended to provide a means whereby the Company may, through the grant of stock options (the "Options") to officers and other key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries ("Key Employees"), attract and retain such Key Employees and motivate them to exercise their best efforts on behalf of the Company and of its Subsidiaries. Any Option granted under the Plan is intended to be a nonqualified stock option (i.e., an option which does not qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). For purposes of the Plan, a "Subsidiary" shall mean a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company, as defined in section 424(f) of the Code. Further "Stockholders' Agreement" shall mean that Stockholders' Agreement, dated June 11, 1987, entered into by (a) the Company, (b) its corporate stockholders at that time -- Intergraph Corporations and Tensor Technology, Inc., and (c) four of its individual stockholders -- Barry J. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Richard P. Bentley, and Raymond B. Bentley, as it may be amended from time to time. 2. Administration. Where authorized by the Company's Board of Directors, the Plan shall be administered by the Company's Stock Option Committee (the "Committee"), consisting of at least two directors of the Company who shall be appointed by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Where the Board has not authorized a Committee to administer the Plan, the Plan shall be administered by the Board (and all references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall be
construed as referring to the "Board"). Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his capacity as a director of the Company. Except as permitted under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder, on and after the date the Company completes a public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 (the "Public Offering Date") no member of the Committee shall have been granted Options pursuant to the Plan or options or equity securities (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(d) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to any other plan of the Company or of any of its affiliates, as defined in or under the Exchange Act, at any time during the period commencing with the date which is one year prior to the date the member's service on the Committee began and ending on the date which is one day after the date on which the member's service on the Committee ceased. The Committee shall have full authority, subject to the terms of the Plan, to select the Key Employees to be granted Options under the Plan, to grant Options on behalf of the Company, and to set the date of grant and the other terms of such Options. The Committee also shall have the authority to establish such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, for the proper administration of the Plan, to amend, modify, or rescind any such rules and regulations, and to make such determinations and interpretations under or in connection with the Plan, as it deems necessary or advisable. All such rules, regulations, determinations, and interpretations shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company, its stockholders and all employees, and upon their respective legal representatives, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns, and upon all other persons claiming under or through any of them. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted under it. 3. Eligibility. The class of employees who shall be eligible to receive Options under the Plan shall be the Key Employees, including any -2-
directors who also are officers or key employees of the Company and/or of a Subsidiary, but excluding the following individuals: Barry J. Bentley, Gregory Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Raymond B. Bentley, and Richard P. Bentley. More than one Option may be granted to a Key Employee under the Plan. 4. Stock. Options may be granted under the Plan to purchase up to a maximum of 500 shares of the Company's $.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares, and the Company may purchase shares required for this purpose, from time to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable. Options may be granted to purchase full and/or fractional shares; accordingly, full and fractional shares are issuable under the Plan. If any Option granted under the Plan expires or otherwise terminates for any reason whatever (including, without limitation, the Key Employee's surrender thereof) without having been exercised, the full and fractional shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Option shall continue to be available for the granting of Options under the Plan as fully as if the shares had never been subject to an Option. 5. Granting of Options. From time to time until the expiration or earlier suspension or discontinuance of the Plan, the Committee may, on behalf of the Company, grant to Key Employees under the Plan such Options as it determines are warranted. In making any determination as to whether a Key Employee shall be granted an Option and as to the number of shares to be covered by the Option, the Committee shall take into account the duties of the Key Employee, his present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary, the tax implications to the Company and the Key Employee of any Options granted, and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. Moreover, the Committee may provide in the Option that said Option may be exercised only if certain conditions, as determined by the Committee, are fulfilled. 6. Terms and Conditions of Options. The Options granted pursuant to -3-
the Plan shall include expressly or by reference the following terms and conditions, as well as such other provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable -- (a) Number of Shares. The Option shall state the number of shares to which the Option pertains. (b) Price. The Option shall state the Option price which shall be determined and fixed by the Committee in its discretion but, except as provided in paragraph (e) below, shall not be less than the higher of 75 percent of the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, or the par value thereof. The fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock shall be arrived at by a good faith determination of the Committee and shall be -- (1) the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price, if there is a market for, and sales of, the Common Stock on a registered securities exchange or on an over-the-counter market, on the date of grant; (2) the weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant, if there are no sales on the date of grant but there are sales on dates within a reasonable period both before and after the date of grant; (3) the mean between the bid and asked prices, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau on the date of grant, if actual sales are not available during a reasonable period beginning before and ending after the date of grant; or (4) if subparagraphs (1) through (3) are not applicable, such other method of determining fair market value as shall be authorized by the Code, or the rules or regulations thereunder, and adopted by the Committee. Where the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock is determined under subparagraph (2) above, the average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant is to be weighted inversely by the respective numbers of -4-
trading days between the selling dates and the date of grant (i.e., the valuation date), in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 20.2031-2(b)(1). (c) Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) below and in Section 8 hereof, the term of each Option shall be not more than ten years from the date of grant. (d) Exercise. Options shall be exercisable in such installments and on such dates, not earlier than six months after the date of grant, as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options granted pursuant to paragraph (e) below shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of paragraph (e). The Committee may accelerate the exercise date of any outstanding Options (including, without limitation, the six-month exercise date referred to above), in its discretion, if it deems such acceleration to be desirable. Any exercisable Options may be exercised at any time up to the expiration or termination of the Option. Exercisable Options may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number of full and/or fractional shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option price for such shares. The Option price shall be payable -- (1) in cash or its equivalent; (2) in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Key Employee; provided that such shares have been held by the Key Employee for a period of more than one year on the date of exercise; or (3) in the discretion of the Committee, in any combination of subparagraphs (1) and (2) above. In the event the Option price is paid, in whole or in part, with shares of Common Stock, the portion of the Option price so paid shall be equal to the "fair market value" on the date of exercise of the Option, as such "fair market value" is determined in paragraph (b) above, of the Common Stock so surrendered in payment of the Option price. -5-
(e) Options in Substitution of SAR Shares or Settlement Amount. (1) Payment of Settlement Amount. Effective with the Company's adoption of the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 1995 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "SAR Plan") on August 7, 1995 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, after the termination or expiration of the Stockholders' Agreement, the Committee may grant Options in payment of all or any portion of a Settlement Amount. Such Options shall have an aggregate exercise price on the Settlement Date equal to the aggregate value of the SAR Shares on the date the SAR Share Award was granted; shall have a term of not less than one nor more than five years; and shall be granted in the ratio of an Option for one share of Common Stock for every 2,000 SAR Shares being paid with Options. The Options shall be exercisable at any time during their term and shall otherwise be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan. As used herein, the terms "Settlement Amount," "Settlement Date," "SAR Shares," and "Award" shall all have the same meanings as such terms under the SAR Plan. (2) Substitution for SAR Shares. At any time after the termination or expiration of the Stockholders' Agreement, Options subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan may be granted in place of SAR Shares awarded under the SAR Plan, in the ratio of an Option for one share of Common Stock for each 2,000 SAR Shares. In the event an Option is substituted for SAR Shares, the aggregate exercise price of such Option shall equal the aggregate value, on the date such SAR Shares were awarded, of the SAR Shares for which the Option is substituted, and the term of such Option shall be not less than one nor more than five years. The Key Employee shall be immediately vested in the Option to the same extent that he was vested in the SAR Shares for which the Option is substituted and shall continue to vest in the Option at the same rate that he would have vested in the SAR Shares for which the Option is substituted. Any SAR Shares for which an Option is substituted shall be cancelled as of the date of the substitution. (f) Termination of Employment. If a Key Employee's employment by the -6-
Company (and Subsidiaries) is terminated by either party prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option for any reason other than death or disability, such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option; or (ii) (A) in the case of the Key Employee's voluntary termination or in the case of a termination for Cause, the date of such termination of employment or (B) otherwise, 90 days after such termination of employment. For this purpose, "Cause" shall mean (i) the Key Employee's failure to perform the duties of his position, provided such failure has a material, adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) the Key Employee's misappropriation of any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iii) the Key Employee's drunkenness or misuse of drugs while performing services for the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) the Key Employee's being convicted of a misdemeanor, the penalty for which is imprisonment for more than one year, or a felony. (g) Exercise upon Disability of Key Employee. If a Key Employee becomes disabled (within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code) during his employment and, prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option, his employment is terminated as a consequence of such disability, such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option, or (ii) one year after such termination of employment. In the event of the Key Employee's legal disability, such Option may be so exercised by the Key Employee's legal representative. (h) Exercise upon Death of Key Employee. If a Key Employee dies during his employment, and prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option, or if a Key Employee whose employment is terminated for any reason, dies -7-
following his termination of employment but prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date fixed for his Option, or (ii) the expiration of the period determined under paragraphs (f) and (g) above such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of his death, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee's estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Key Employee. Such post-death exercise may occur at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option or (ii) an accelerated termination date determined by the Committee, in its discretion; except that, subject to Section 8 hereof, such accelerated termination date shall not be earlier than one year, nor later than three years, after the date of death. (i) Exercise Upon Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control in which outstanding Options are not assumed by the surviving entity, the Committee shall terminate all outstanding Options on at least seven days' notice. Any such Option which is to be so terminated may be exercised up to, and including the date immediately preceding such termination. With respect to any such Option which is to be so terminated but which is not exercised prior to its termination, the Committee shall cause the Company to pay to each Key Employee an amount in cash with respect to each full and/or fractional share of Common Stock to which his unexercised Option pertains. Such cash amount shall be equal to the difference between the Option price and the fair market value, as determined by the Committee in accordance with paragraph (b) above, of the full and fractional shares of Common Stock to which the Key Employee's unexercised Option pertains. (1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) below, "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have taken place if: (A) any person, including a group but excluding the -8-
Company or any stockholder of the Company as of March 4, 1996, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having 50 percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company; (B) there occurs any cash tender or exchange offer for shares of the Company, merger or other business combination, or sale of assets, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, and as a result of or in connection with any such event persons who were directors of the Company before the event shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company or any successor to the Company; or (C) during any period of two consecutive calendar years beginning after the date of the initial public offering of the Common Stock, members of the Incumbent Board cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; for this purpose, the "Incumbent Board" shall consist of the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the entire Board and any new director -- other than a director (i) designated or nominated by, or affiliated with, a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in (B) above, or (ii) who initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or contests by or on behalf of a person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest"), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest -- whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of at least 2/3rds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved. (2) Notwithstanding subparagraph (1) above, if any of the events listed in subparagraph (1) above occurs solely as a consequence of the sale by Intergraph Corporation of all or a portion of its interest in the -9-
Company, such event shall not constitute a Change in Control. (3) As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the terms "person" and "beneficial owner" have the same meanings as such terms under section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. (j) Non-Transferability. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Key Employee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Key Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by him or by his guardian or legal representative. If the Key Employee is married at the time of exercise and if the Key Employee so requests at the time of exercise, the certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Key Employee and the Key Employee's spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship. (k) Rights as a Stockholder. A Key Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his Option until the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. (l) Listing and Registration of Shares. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, or that action by the Company or by the Key Employee should be taken in order to obtain an exemption from any such requirement, no such Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, or action shall have been effected, obtained, or taken under conditions acceptable to the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Key Employee or his legal representative or beneficiary may also be required to give satisfactory assurance that shares purchased upon exercise of an Option are being purchased -10-
for investment and not with a view to distribution, and certificates representing such shares may be legended accordingly. (m) Withholding and Use of Shares to Satisfy Tax Obligations. The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Option (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be subject to any applicable federal, state or local tax withholding requirements. If the exercise of any Option is subject to the withholding requirements of applicable federal tax law, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit the Key Employee to satisfy the minimum federal withholding tax, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock subject to the exercise (or by returning previously acquired shares of Common Stock to the Company). The Company may not withhold shares in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the minimum federal tax withholding requirements. Shares of Common Stock shall be valued, for purposes of this paragraph, at their fair market value on the date the amount attributable to the exercise of the Option is includable in income by the Key Employee under section 83 of the Code (the "Determination Date"). If shares of Common Stock acquired by the exercise of an option under this Plan or a similar plan are used to satisfy such withholding requirement, such shares must have been held by the Key Employee for more than one year on the Determination Date. 7. Option Agreements -- Other Provisions. Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by written documents ("Option Agreements") in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable. Each Key Employee shall enter into, and be bound by, an Option Agreement. -11-
8. Capital Adjustments. The number of shares which may be issued under the Plan, as stated in Section 4 hereof, the ratio of shares to SAR Shares stated in Section 6(e) and Section 12(c) hereof, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options under the Plan (as well as the Option price per share under such outstanding Options), shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of the Company. In the event any such change in capitalization cannot be reflected in a straight mathematical adjustment of the ratio of shares to SAR Shares or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options (and a straight mathematical adjustment of the exercise price thereof), the Committee shall make such adjustments as are appropriate to reflect most nearly such straight mathematical adjustment. Such adjustments shall be made only as necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of Key Employees, and preserve, without exceeding, the value of SAR Shares and Options. In the event of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than stock dividends or cash dividends, the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the right to make appropriate adjustments to the ratio of shares to SAR Shares stated in Section 6(e) and Section 12(c) hereof. In the event of a corporate transaction such as a merger or consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization, or liquidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed by the surviving or successor corporation. In the event of a proposed corporate transaction in which each outstanding Option is not assumed by the surviving or successor corporation, the Committee shall terminate all the outstanding Options upon at least seven days' notice. Any such Option which is to be so terminated may be exercised (if and only to the extent that it is then exercisable) up to, and including the date immediately preceding -12-
such termination. With respect to any such Option which is to be so terminated but which is not exercised prior to its termination, the Committee shall cause the Company to pay to each Key Employee an amount in cash with respect to each full and/or fractional share of Common Stock to which his unexercised terminated Option was exercisable immediately before termination. Such cash amount shall be equal to the difference between the Option price and the value, as determined by the Committee, of the consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with such transaction. The Committee also may, in its discretion, change the terms of any outstanding Option to reflect any such corporate transaction. Further, as provided in Section 7(d) hereof the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate, in whole or in part, the date on which any or all Options become exercisable. 9. Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan (a) In General. The Board, pursuant to a written resolution, from time to time may suspend or discontinue the Plan or amend it in any respect whatsoever; except that, on or after the Public Offering Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), without the approval of the stockholders (given in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) below) -- (1) any requirement as to eligibility for participation in the Plan by directors and officers, within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act (hereinafter referred to as "Officers") shall not be materially modified; (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted to Officers shall not be materially increased; and (3) the benefits accruing to employees participating in the Plan shall not be materially increased. (b) Manner of Stockholder Approval. The approval of stockholders must be by a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock -13-
present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Delaware. 10. Absence of Rights. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any individual any right to be granted an Option, or any other right hereunder, unless and until the Committee shall have granted such individual an Option, and then his rights shall be only such as are provided by the Option Agreement. Any Option under the Plan shall not entitle the holder thereof to any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of such Option and the issuance of the shares pursuant thereto. Further, notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan or the Option Agreement with a Key Employee, the Company and any Subsidiary shall have the right, in its discretion but subject to any employment contract entered into with the Key Employee, to retire the Key Employee at any time pursuant to its retirement rules or otherwise to terminate his employment at any time for any reason whatsoever. 11. Indemnification of Board and Committee. Without limiting any other rights of indemnification which they may have from the Company and any Subsidiary, the members of the Board and the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under, or in connection with, the Plan, or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of willful misconduct or recklessness on their part. Upon the making or institution of any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding, the Board or Committee member shall notify the Company in writing, giving the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee member undertakes to handle it -14-
on his own behalf. 12. Company's Right of First Refusal and Right to Repurchase Common Stock; Proxy or Voting Agreement. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that were granted under this Plan, including Options granted pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, shall be subject to this Section 12 until the Public Offering Date. Common Stock certificates issued on behalf of a Key Employee may include a legend setting forth restrictions on transfer and any other legend required by the Committee. (a) Proxy or Voting Agreement. The Committee may condition the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Key Employee or a Key Employee's beneficiary on the Key Employee or beneficiary's entering into a proxy or voting agreement with the Company with respect to such shares of Common Stock. (b) Company's Right of First Refusal. Key Employees and beneficiaries shall not sell or otherwise transfer, or pledge or otherwise encumber (collectively, "Transfer"), whether voluntarily or by operation of law, any shares of Common Stock except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph (b). Any Transfer in violation of this paragraph (b) shall be null and void and of no force and effect. A Key Employee (or, if applicable, beneficiary) shall give the Company not fewer than 15 calendar days prior written notice of any proposed Transfer of shares of Common Stock to a third party (a "Transferee") (other than a Transfer in the initial registered underwritten public offering of the Common Stock), identifying the Transferee and the consideration, if any, to be paid for the shares. If the Company objects to such proposed Transferee, it shall so notify the Key Employee (or beneficiary). If the Key Employee (or beneficiary) still desires to effect the Transfer to such Transferee, the Key Employee (or beneficiary) shall so notify the Company, and the Company shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) within 15 calendar days following its receipt of notice from the Key Employee (or beneficiary) of the Key Employee's (or beneficiary's) continued intention to make the Transfer, to repurchase the shares intended to be Transferred by -15-
the Key Employee (or beneficiary). The purchase price to be paid to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) upon any such repurchase shall be a cash amount equal to the cash consideration the Key Employee (or beneficiary) would have received from the proposed Transferee upon such Transfer, or, if the proposed Transfer was to be without consideration or for a consideration other than cash, the per share purchase price to be paid to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) shall be determined as described in Part C of this Article. Closing with respect to the repurchase of such shares of Common Stock shall take place at the Company's principal office not more than 30 calendar days following the later of (i) the date of the Company's notice of its intention to repurchase the shares intended to be Transferred by the Key Employee (or beneficiary) or (ii) the date on which the value of the shares has been determined. The purchase price of such shares shall be paid in cash, by check or by wire transfer. (c) Company's Right to Repurchase Common Stock. Upon termination of the Key Employee's employment with the Company and Subsidiaries by reason of death, disability, voluntary resignation, or discharge for Cause (as defined in Section 6(e) hereof), the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, or any whole number of shares less than all, of the shares of Common Stock then owned by the Key Employee or the Key Employee's beneficiary (the "Repurchase Right"). The per share purchase price of the shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right, or pursuant to the last sentence of the second paragraph of paragraph (b) above, shall be determined by dividing the Company's fair market value (as determined in accordance with Exhibit A to the SAR Plan) by the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents (i.e., the total number of SAR Shares divided by 2,000, and the total number of shares subject to outstanding options), all determined at the time described below. The Repurchase Right shall expire 45 calendar days after the Key Employee's termination of employment with the Company, unless the Company has given written notice to the Key Employee (or the Employee's beneficiary) of its exercise of the -16-
Repurchase Right, prior to the expiration of such 45-day period. For purposes hereof, both the Company's fair market value and the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents shall be determined (i) in the case of an exercise of a Repurchase Right under this paragraph (c), as of the date the Company gives the Key Employee (or beneficiary) written notice of its exercise of the Repurchase Right, or (ii) in the case of an exercise of a Repurchase Right in connection with a proposed Transfer of Shares under paragraph (b) above, as of the date the Company gives the Key Employee written notice of its exercise of such repurchase right under paragraph (b). Such notice shall be deemed given as of the earlier of the date it is personally delivered by the Company to the Key Employee or the date it is mailed to the Key Employee's last known address by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested. Closing with respect to any such repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be held as described in paragraph (b) above. 13. Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. Any cash received in payment for shares upon exercise of an Option to purchase Common Stock shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for its corporate purposes. Any Common Stock received in payment for shares upon exercise of an Option to purchase Common Stock shall become treasury stock. 14. No Obligation to Exercise Option. The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon a Key Employee to exercise such Option. 15. Termination of Plan. Unless earlier terminated as provided in the Plan, the Plan and all authority granted hereunder shall terminate absolutely at 12:00 midnight on March 28, 2005, which date is within 10 years after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, and no Options hereunder shall be granted thereafter. Nothing contained in this Section, however, shall terminate or affect the continued existence of rights created under Options -17-
issued hereunder, and outstanding on the date set forth in the preceding sentence, which by their terms extend beyond such date. 16. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the operation of, and the rights of Key Employees under, the Plan, and Options granted thereunder. -18-

BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN (AS AMENDED EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 17, 2000) WHEREAS, Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), desires to award stock options to certain of its officers and other key employees; NOW, THEREFORE, the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 1997 Stock Option Plan is hereby adopted under the following terms and conditions: 1. PURPOSE. The Bentley Systems, Incorporated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide a means whereby the Company may, through the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options (collectively, the "Options") to officers and other key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries ("Key Employees"), attract and retain such Key Employees and motivate them to exercise their best efforts on behalf of the Company and of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of the Plan, a "Subsidiary" shall mean a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Further, as used in the Plan, (i) the term "ISO" shall mean an option which, at the time such option is granted, qualifies as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and is designated as an ISO in the "Option Agreement" (as defined in Section 8 hereof); and (ii) the term "NQSO" shall mean an option which, at the time such option is granted, does not qualify as an ISO, and is designated as a nonqualified stock option in the Option Agreement (as defined in Section 8 hereof). 2. ADMINISTRATION. Where authorized by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), the Plan shall be administered by the Company's Stock Option Committee (the "Committee"), consisting of at least two directors of the Company who shall be appointed by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Board shall change the membership of the Committee, to the extent necessary, so that on and after the date (the "Public Offering Date") the Company first registers equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Committee shall consist solely of not fewer than two "non-employee directors" (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Exchange Act, or any successor thereto) of the Company who are also "outside directors" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. & sect; 1.162-27(e)(3), or any successor thereto) of the Company. Where the Board has not authorized a Committee to administer the Plan or where the Committee cannot be constituted to vote on the grant of an Option (for example, because of state laws governing corporate self-dealing), the Plan shall be administered by the entire Board (and all references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall be construed as referring to the "Board"); provided, however, that a member of the Board shall not participate in a vote approving the grant of an Option to himself to the extent provided under the laws of the State of Delaware governing corporate self-dealing. Each
member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his capacity as a director of the Company. The Committee shall have full authority, subject to the terms of the Plan, to select the Key Employees to be granted Options under the Plan, to grant Options on behalf of the Company, and to set the date of grant and the other terms of such Options. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and in any Option granted hereunder in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable. The Committee may also, in its discretion, adjust the price of an Option, or cancel an Option and grant a new Option to replace the cancelled Option; provided, that if the Committee changes the price of an Option or replaces an Option, the resulting Option shall be treated as a new Option granted on the date of such change or replacement and shall comply with the terms of the Plan as such. The Committee also shall have the authority to establish such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, for the proper administration of the Plan, to amend, modify, or rescind any such rules and regulations, and to make such determinations and interpretations under or in connection with the Plan, as it deems necessary or advisable. All such rules, regulations, determinations, and interpretations shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company, its stockholders and all employees, and upon their respective legal representatives, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns, and upon all other persons claiming under or through any of them. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted under it. 3. ELIGIBILITY. The class of employees who shall be eligible to receive Options under the Plan shall be the Key Employees, including any directors who also are officers or key employees of the Company and/or of a Subsidiary. More than one Option may be granted to a Key Employee under the Plan. 4. STOCK. Options may be granted under the Plan to purchase up to a maximum of 3,800,000 shares of the Company's $.01 par value Class B (non-voting) common stock ("Common Stock"); provided, however, that on and after the Public Offering Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), no Key Employee shall receive Options under the Plan in any calendar year for more than 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. However, both the limits in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares, and the Company may purchase shares required for this purpose, from time to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable. If any Option granted under the Plan expires, or if any such Option is canceled for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the Key Employee's surrender thereof), without having been exercised, the full and fractional shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Option shall continue to be available for the granting of Options under the Plan as fully as if the shares had never been subject to an Option. However, (i) if an Option is canceled, the shares of Common Stock covered by the canceled Option shall be counted against the maximum number of shares for which Options may be granted to a single Key Employee, and (ii) if the exercise price of an Option is reduced after the date of grant, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the original Option and the grant of a new Option for purposes of such maximum.
5. GRANTING OF OPTIONS. From time to time until the expiration or earlier suspension or discontinuance of the Plan, the Committee may, on behalf of the Company, grant to Key Employees under the Plan such Options as it determines are warranted; provided, however, that grants of ISOs and NQSOs shall be separate and not in tandem. In making any determination as to whether a Key Employee shall be granted an Option, the type of Option to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by the Option, and other terms of the Option, the Committee shall take into account the duties of the Key Employee, his present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary, the tax implications to the Company and the Key Employee of any Options granted, and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. Moreover, the Committee may provide in the Option that said Option may be exercised only if certain conditions, as determined by the Committee, are fulfilled. 6. ANNUAL LIMIT. (a) ISOs. The aggregate fair market value (determined under Section 7(b) hereof as of the date the ISO is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Key Employee during any calendar year (counting ISOs under this Plan and incentive stock options under any other stock option plan of the Company or a Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If an Option intended as an ISO is granted to a Key Employee and the Option may not be treated in whole or in part as an ISO pursuant to the $100,000 limitation, the Option shall be treated as an ISO to the extent it may be so treated under the limitation and as an NQSO as to the remainder. For purposes of determining whether an ISO would cause the limitation to be exceeded, ISOs shall be taken into account in the order granted. (b) NQSOs. The annual limits set forth above for ISOs shall not apply to NQSOs. 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. The Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall include expressly or by reference the following terms and conditions, as well as such other provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and, for ISOs granted under this Plan, the provisions of Section 422(b) of the Code, as the Committee shall deem desirable -- (a) NUMBER OF SHARES. The Option shall state the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains. (b) PRICE. The Option shall state the Option price which shall be determined and fixed by the Committee in its discretion but, in the case of an ISO, shall not be less than the higher of 100 percent (110 percent in the case of more-than-10-percent shareholder, as provided in subsection (k) below) of the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock on the date the ISO is granted, or the par value thereof, and, in the case of an NQSO, shall not be less than the higher of 100 percent of the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock on the date the NQSO is granted, or the par value thereof. The fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock shall be arrived at by a good faith determination of the Committee and shall be --
(1) the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price, if there is a market for, and sales of, the Common Stock on a registered securities exchange or on an over-the-counter market, on the date of grant; (2) the weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant, if there are no sales on the date of grant but there are sales on dates within a reasonable period both before and after the date of grant; (3) the mean between the bid and asked prices, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, on the date of grant, if actual sales are not available during a reasonable period beginning before and ending after the date of grant; or (4) if subparagraphs (1) through (3) are not applicable, such other method of determining fair market value as shall be authorized by the Code, or the rules or regulations thereunder, and adopted by the Committee. Where the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock is determined under subparagraph (2) above, the average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant shall be weighted inversely by the respective numbers of trading days between the selling dates and the date of grant (i.e., the valuation date), in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 20.2031-2(b)(1), or any successor thereto. (c) TERMS (1) ISOs. Subject to earlier termination as provided in subsections (e), (f), (g) and (h) below and in Section 9 hereof, the term of each ISO shall be not more than 10 years (five years in the case of a more-than-10-percent shareholder, as discussed in subsection (k) below) from the date of grant. (2) NQSOs. Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs (e), (f), (g) and (h) below and in Section 9 hereof, the term of each NQSO shall be not more than 10 years from the date of grant. (3) EXERCISE. Options shall be exercisable in such installments and on such dates as the Committee may specify; provided that (i) in the case of new Options granted to a Key Employee to replace options (whether granted under the Plan or otherwise) held by the Key Employee or in the case of Options repriced by the Committee, the new or repriced Options may be made exercisable, if so determined by the Committee, in its discretion, at the earliest date the original Options were exercisable, but not earlier than six months from the date of grant of the new Options or the repricing of the original Options; and (ii) the Committee may accelerate the exercise date of any outstanding Options, in its discretion, if it deems such acceleration to be desirable. Any exercisable Options may be exercised at any time up to the expiration or termination of the Option. Exercisable Options may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number
of full and/or fractional shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option price for such shares (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in paragraph (4) below, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). The Option price shall be payable in the case of an ISO, if the Committee in its discretion causes the Option Agreement so to provide, and in the case of an NQSO, if the Committee in its discretion so determines at or prior to the time of exercise -- (1) in cash or its equivalent; (2) in shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Key Employee; provided that (i) if such shares of Common Stock were acquired through the exercise of an ISO and are used to pay the Option price for ISOs, such shares have been held by the Key Employee for a period of not less than the holding period described in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code on the date of exercise, or (ii) if such shares of Common Stock were acquired through the exercise of an NQSO and are used to pay the Option price of an ISO, or if such shares of Common Stock were acquired through the exercise of an ISO or NQSO and are used to pay the Option price of an NQSO, such shares have been held by the Key Employee for a period of more than one year on the date of exercise; (3) in Common Stock newly acquired by the Key Employee under exercise of such Option (which shall constitute a disqualifying disposition in the case of an Option which is an ISO); (4) by delivering a properly executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Company and a broker, with irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price of the Option; (5) if the Key Employee is designated as an "eligible participant" by the Committee at the date of grant in the case of an ISO, or at or after the date of grant in the case of an NQSO, and if the Key Employee thereafter so requests, (i) the Company will loan the Key Employee the money required to pay the exercise price of the Option; (ii) any such loan to a Key Employee shall be made only at the time the Option is exercised; and (iii) the loan will be made on the Key Employee's personal, negotiable, demand promissory note, bearing interest at the lowest rate which will avoid imputation of interest under Section 7872 of the Code, and including such other terms as the Committee may prescribe; or (6) in any combination of subparagraphs (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above. In the event the Option price is paid, in whole or in part, with shares of Common Stock, the portion of the Option price so paid shall be equal to the aggregate fair market value (determined in paragraph (b) above as of the date of exercise of the Option rather than the date of grant) of the Common Stock so surrendered in payment of the Option price. (e) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a Key Employee's employment by the Company (and Subsidiaries) is terminated by either party prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option for any reason other than death or disability, such Option may be exercised, to the extent
of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option; or (ii)(A) in the case of the Key Employee's voluntary termination or in the case of a termination for Cause, the date of such termination of employment (unless the Committee, in its discretion and subject to Section 10 hereof, permits a later expiration date in the case of such a termination, with the consent of the Option holder in the case of an ISO) or (B) otherwise, three months after such termination of employment (unless the Committee, in its discretion and subject to Section 10 hereof, permits a later expiration date in the case of such a termination, with the consent of the Option holder in the case of an ISO). For this purpose, "Cause" shall mean (i) the Key Employee's failure to perform the duties of his position, provided such failure has a material, adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) the Key Employee's misappropriation of any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iii) the Key Employee's drunkenness or misuse of drugs while performing services for the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) the Key Employee's being convicted of a misdemeanor, the penalty for which is imprisonment for more than one year, or a felony. (f) EXERCISE UPON DISABILITY OF KEY EMPLOYEE. If a Key Employee becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) during his employment and, prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option, his employment is terminated as a consequence of such disability, such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option; or (ii) one year after such termination of employment (unless the Committee, in its discretion and subject to Section 10 hereof, permits a later expiration date in the case of such a termination, with the consent of the Option holder in the case of an ISO). In the event of the Key Employee's legal disability, such Option may be so exercised by the Key Employee's legal representative. (g) EXERCISE UPON DEATH OF KEY EMPLOYEE. If a Key Employee dies during his employment, and prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option, or if a Key Employee whose employment is terminated for any reason, dies following his termination of employment but prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date fixed for his Option, or (ii) the expiration of the period determined under paragraphs (e) and (f) above, such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of his death, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee's estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Key Employee. Such post-death exercise may occur at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option or (ii) an accelerated expiration date determined by the Committee, in its discretion; except that, subject to Section 8 hereof, such accelerated expiration date shall not be earlier than one year, nor later than three years, after the date of death. (h) EXERCISE UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control in which outstanding Options are not assumed by
the surviving entity, the Committee shall terminate all outstanding Options on at least seven days' notice. Any such Option which is to be so terminated may be exercised up to, and including the date immediately preceding such termination. With respect to any such Option which is to be so terminated but which is not exercised prior to its termination, the Committee shall cause the Company to pay to each Key Employee an amount in cash with respect to each full and/or fractional share of Common Stock to which his unexercised Option pertains. Such cash amount shall be equal to the difference between the Option price and the fair market value, as determined by the Committee in accordance with paragraph (b) above, of the full and fractional shares of Common Stock to which the Key Employee's unexercised Option pertains. (1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) below, "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) any person, including a group but excluding the Company or any stockholder of the Company as of the effective date set forth in Section 15 hereof, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having 50 percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company; (ii) there occurs any cash tender or exchange offer for shares of the Company, merger or other business combination, or sale of assets, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, and as a result of or in connection with any such event persons who were directors of the Company before the event shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company or any successor to the Company; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive calendar years beginning after the date of the initial public offering of the Common Stock, members of the Incumbent Board cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; for this purpose, the "Incumbent Board" shall consist of the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the entire Board and any new director -- other than a director (i) designated or nominated by, or affiliated with, a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in (B) above, or (ii) who initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or contests by or on behalf of a person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest"), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest -- whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of at least 2/3rds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the periods or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved. (2) Notwithstanding subparagraph (1) above, if any of the events listed in subparagraph (1) above occurs solely as a consequence of the sale by Intergraph Corporation of all or a portion of its interest in the Company, such event shall not constitute a Change in Control. (3) As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the terms "person" and "beneficial owner" have the same meanings as such terms under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. (i) NON-TRANSFERABILITY. No ISO and (except as otherwise provided in any Option Agreement) no NQSO shall be assignable or transferable by the Key Employee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and (subject to the preceding clause) during the lifetime of the Key Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by him or by his guardian or legal representative. If the Key Employee is married at the time of exercise and if the Key Employee so requests at the time of exercise, the certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Key Employee and the Key Employee's spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship. (j) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. A Key Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his Option until the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. (k) TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER. If the Key Employee owns more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all shares of stock of the Company or of a Subsidiary at the time an ISO is granted to him, the Option price for the ISO shall not be less than 110 percent of the fair market value (as determined under subsection (b) above) of the optioned shares of Common Stock on the date the ISO is granted, and such ISO, by its terms, shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the ISO is granted. The conditions set forth in this subsection shall not apply to NQSOs. (l) LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, or that action by the Company or by the Key Employee should be taken in order to obtain an exemption from any such requirement, no such Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, or action shall have been effected, obtained, or taken under conditions acceptable to the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Key Employee or his legal representative or beneficiary may also be required to give satisfactory assurance that shares purchased upon exercise of an Option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to distribution, and certificates representing such shares may be legended accordingly. (m) WITHHOLDING AND USE OF SHARES TO SATISFY TAX OBLIGATIONS. The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Option (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be subject to any applicable federal, state or local tax withholding requirements. If the exercise of any Option is subject to the withholding requirements of applicable federal tax law, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit or require the Key Employee to satisfy the minimum federal withholding tax, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock subject to the exercise (or by returning previously
acquired shares of Common Stock to the Company). The Company may not withhold shares in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the minimum federal tax withholding requirements. Shares of Common Stock shall be valued, for purposes of this paragraph, at their fair market value under paragraph (b) above, but as of the date the amount attributable to the exercise of the Option is includable in income by the Key Employee under Section 83 of the Code (the "Determination Date"). If shares of Common Stock acquired by the exercise of an ISO are used to satisfy the withholding requirement described above, such shares of Common Stock must have been held by the Key Employee for a period of not less than the holding period described in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code as of the Determination Date. The Committee shall adopt such withholding rules as it deems necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph. 8. OPTION AGREEMENT -- OTHER PROVISIONS. Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by written documents ("Option Agreements") in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan (and, for ISOs granted pursuant to the Plan, not inconsistent with Section 422(b) of the Code), as the Committee shall deem advisable. The Option Agreements shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or NQSO. Each Key Employee shall enter into, and be bound by, an Option Agreement as soon as practicable after the grant of an Option. 9. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS. The number and class of shares which may be issued under the Plan, and the maximum number of shares with respect to which Options may be granted to any Key Employee under the Plan, both as stated in Section 4 hereof, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options under the Plan (as well as the Option price per share under such outstanding Options) shall be adjusted, as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of the Company. In the event any such change in capitalization cannot be reflected in a straight mathematical adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options (and a straight mathematical adjustment of the exercise price thereof), the Committee shall make such adjustments as are appropriate to reflect most nearly such straight mathematical adjustment. Such adjustments shall be made only as necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of Key Employees, and preserve, without exceeding, the value of Options. In the event of a corporate transaction (such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation), each outstanding Option shall be assumed by the surviving or successor corporation; provided, however, that, in the event of a proposed corporate transaction, the Committee may terminate all or a portion of the outstanding Options, effective upon the closing of the corporate transaction, if it determines that such termination is in the best interests of the Company. If the Committee decides to terminate outstanding Options, the Committee shall give each Key Employee holding an Option to be terminated not fewer than seven days' notice prior to any such termination, and any Option which is to be so terminated may be exercised (if and only to the extent that it is then exercisable) up to, and including the date immediately preceding such termination. At the closing of such corporate transaction, such Options shall be terminated (unless previously exercised) and the Company shall pay to each Key Employee who holds an Option so terminated (except for
any Option which terminated prior to the date of such closing otherwise than by reason of such Committee action) an amount equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the Option (as determined in good faith by the Committee) less the applicable exercise price of the Option. The Committee also may, in its discretion, change the terms of any outstanding Option to reflect any such corporate transaction, provided that, in the case of ISOs, such change would not constitute a "modification" under Section 424(h) of the Code, unless the Option holder consents to the change. Further, as provided in Section 6(d) hereof, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate, in whole or in part, the date on which any or all Options become exercisable. 10. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN. (a) In General. The Board, pursuant to a written resolution, from time to time may suspend or discontinue the Plan or amend it, and the Committee may amend any outstanding Options in any respect whatsoever; except that, without the approval of the stockholders (given in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) below) -- (1) no amendment may be made which would -- (i) change the class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to ISOs; (ii) except as permitted under Section 9 hereof, increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs may be granted under the Plan; or (iii) extend the duration of the Plan under Section 17 hereof with respect to any ISOs granted hereunder. (2) on and after the Public Offering Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), no amendment may be made which would require shareholder approval pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.162-27(e)(4)(vi) or any successor thereto. (3) on and after the Public Offering Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), no amendment may be made which would require shareholder approval under the rules of the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such suspension, discontinuance, or amendment shall materially impair the rights of any holder of an outstanding Option without the consent of such holder. (b) Manner of Stockholder Approval. The approval of stockholders must comply with all applicable provisions of the corporate charter, bylaws, and must be effected -- (1) by a method and in a degree that would be treated as adequate under applicable state law in the case of an action requiring stockholder approval (i.e., an action on which stockholders would be entitled to vote if the action were taken at a duly held stockholders'
meeting); or (2) by a minority of the votes cast (including abstentions, to the extent abstentions are counted as voting under applicable state law), in a separate vote at a duly held stockholders' meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the Plan. 11. ABSENT OF RIGHTS. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any individual any right to be granted an Option, or any other right hereunder, unless and until the Committee shall have granted such individual an Option, and then his rights shall be only such as are provided by the Option Agreement. Any Option under the Plan shall not entitle the holder thereof to any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of such Option and the issuance of the shares pursuant thereto. Further, notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan or the Option Agreement with a Key Employee, the Company and any Subsidiary shall have the right, in its discretion but subject to any employment contract entered into with the Key Employee, to retire the Key Employee at any time pursuant to its retirement rules or otherwise to terminate his employment at any time for any reason whatsoever. 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE. Without limiting any other rights of indemnification which they may have from the Company and any Subsidiary, the members of the Board and the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under, or in connection with, the Plan, or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of willful misconduct or recklessness on their part. Upon the making or institution of any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding, the Board or Committee member shall notify the Company in writing, giving the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee member undertakes to handle it on his own behalf. The provisions of this Section shall not give members of the Board or the Committee greater rights than they would have under the Company's by-laws or Delaware law. 13. COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND RIGHT TO REPURCHASE COMMON STOCK; PROXY OR VOTING AGREEMENT. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that were granted under this Plan shall be subject to this Section 13 until the Public Offering Date. Common Stock certificates issued on behalf of a Key Employee may include a legend setting forth restrictions on transfer and any other legend required by the Committee. (a) PROXY OR VOTING AGREEMENT. The Committee may condition the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Key Employee or a Key Employee's beneficiary on the Key Employee or beneficiary's entering into a proxy or voting agreement with the Company with respect to such shares of Common Stock.
(b) COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Key Employees and beneficiaries shall not sell or otherwise transfer, or pledge or otherwise encumber (collectively, "Transfer"), whether voluntarily or by operation of law, any shares of Common Stock except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph (b). Any Transfer in violation of this paragraph (b) shall be null and void and of no force and effect. A Key Employee (or, if applicable, beneficiary) shall give the Company not fewer than 15 calendar days prior written notice of any proposed Transfer of shares of Common Stock to a third party (a "Transferee") (other than a Transfer in the initial registered underwritten public offering of the Common Stock), identifying the Transferee and the consideration, if any, to be paid for the shares. If the Company objects to such proposed Transferee, it shall so notify the Key Employee (or beneficiary). If the Key Employee (or beneficiary) still desires to effect the Transfer to such Transferee, the Key Employee (or beneficiary) shall so notify the Company, and the Company shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) within 15 calendar days following its receipt of notice from the Key Employee (or beneficiary) of the Key Employee's (or beneficiary's) continued intention to make the Transfer, to repurchase the shares intended to be Transferred by the Key Employee (or beneficiary). The purchase price to be paid to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) upon any such repurchase shall be a cash amount equal to the cash consideration the Key Employee (or beneficiary) would have received from the proposed Transferee upon such Transfer, or, if the proposed Transfer was to be without consideration or for a consideration other than cash, the per share purchase price to be paid to the Key Employee (or beneficiary) shall be determined as described in paragraph (c) below. Closing with respect to the repurchase of such shares of Common Stock shall take place at the Company's principal office not more than 30 calendar days following the later of (i) the date of the Company's notice of its intention to repurchase the shares intended to be Transferred by the Key Employee (or beneficiary) or (ii) the date on which the value of the shares has been determined. The purchase price of such shares shall be paid in cash, by check or by wire transfer. (c) COMPANY'S RIGHT TO REPURCHASE COMMON STOCK. Upon termination of the Key Employee's employment with the Company and Subsidiaries for any reason, including death, disability, voluntary resignation, and discharge for Cause (as defined in Section 7(e) hereof), the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, or any whole number of shares less than all, of the shares of Common Stock then owned by the Key Employee or the Key Employee's beneficiary (the "Repurchase Right"). The per share purchase price of the shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right, or pursuant to the last sentence of the second paragraph of paragraph (b) above, shall be determined by dividing the Company's fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board) by the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents (i.e., the total number of shares subject to outstanding options and outstanding convertible securities), all determined at the time described below. The Repurchase Right shall expire 45 calendar days after the Key Employee's termination of employment with the Company, unless the Company has given written notice to the Key Employee (or the Key Employee's beneficiary) of its exercise of the Repurchase Right, prior to the expiration of such 45-day period. For purposes hereof, both the Company's fair market value and the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents shall be determined (i) in the case of an exercise of a Repurchase Right under this paragraph (c), as of the date the Company gives the Key Employee (or beneficiary) written notice of its exercise of the Repurchase Right, or (ii) in the case of an exercise of a Repurchase Right in connection with a proposed Transfer of Shares under paragraph (b) above, as of the date the Company gives the Key Employee written notice of its exercise of such Repurchase Right under paragraph (b). Such notice shall be deemed given as of the earlier of the date it is personally delivered by the Company to the Key Employee or the date it is mailed to the Key Employee's last known address by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested. Closing with respect to any such repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be held as described in paragraph (b) above. 14. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. Any cash received in payment for shares upon exercise of an Option to purchase Common Stock shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for its corporate purposes. Any Common Stock received in payment for shares upon exercise of an Option to purchase Common Stock shall become treasury stock. 15. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon a Key Employee to exercise such Option. 16. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan shall become effective on September 16, 1997 (the date the Plan was adopted by the Board); provided, however, that if the Plan is not approved by the stockholders, in the manner described in Section 10(b) hereof, within 12 months before or after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, the Plan and all Options granted hereunder shall be null and void and no additional Options shall be granted hereunder. 17. TERMINATION OF PLAN. Unless earlier terminated as provided in the Plan, the Plan and all authority granted hereunder shall terminate absolutely at 12:00 midnight on September 15, 2007, which date is within 10 years after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, or the date the Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier, and no Options hereunder shall be granted thereafter. Nothing contained in this Section, however, shall terminate or affect the continued existence of rights created under Options issued hereunder, and outstanding on the date set forth in the preceding sentence, which by their terms extend beyond such date. 18. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by the applicable Code provisions to the maximum extent possible. Otherwise, the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the operation of, and the rights of Key Employees under, the Plan, and Options granted thereunder.

Options may be granted under the Plan to purchase up to a maximum of 3,800,000 shares of the Company's $.01 par value Class B (non-voting) common stock ("Common Stock"); provided, however, that on and after the Public Offering Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof), no Key Employee shall receive Options under the Plan in any calendar year for more than 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. However, both the limits in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

The second paragraph of Section 7(d) ("Exercise") of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: Any exercisable Options may be exercised at any time up to the expiration or termination of the Option. Exercisable Options may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number of full and/or fractional shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option price for such shares (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement
approved by the Committee and described in paragraph (4) below, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). 3. Section 7(e) of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: (e) Termination of Employment. If a Key Employee's employment by the Company (and Subsidiaries) is terminated by either party prior to the expiration date fixed for his Option for any reason other than death or disability, such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Key Employee could have exercised it on the date of such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Key Employee at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in such Option; or (ii) (A) in the case of the Key Employee's voluntary termination or in the case of a termination for Cause, the date of such termination of employment (unless the Committee, in its discretion and subject to Section 10 hereof, permits a later expiration date in the case of such a termination, with the consent of the Option holder in the case of an ISO) or (B) otherwise, three months after such termination of employment (unless the Committee, in its discretion and subject to Section 10 hereof, permits a later expiration date in the case of such a termination, with the consent of the Option holder in the case of an ISO). For this purpose, "Cause" shall mean (i) the Key Employee's failure to perform the duties of his position, provided such failure has a material, adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) the Key Employee's misappropriation of any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iii) the Key Employee's drunkenness or misuse of drugs while performing services for the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) the Key Employee's being convicted of a misdemeanor, the penalty for which is imprisonment for more than one year, or a felony. 4.

The first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 9 of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: In the event of a corporate transaction (such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation), each outstanding Option shall be assumed by the surviving or successor corporation; provided, however, that, in the event of a proposed corporate transaction, the Committee may terminate all or a portion of the outstanding Options, effective upon the closing of the corporate transaction, if it determines that such termination is in the best interests of the Company. * * * 7.

1.1. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised for (or cancelled under Section 1.2 as to) less than the full number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, in which case the number of shares receivable upon the exercise (or cancellation) of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced. Upon any such partial exercise (or cancellation), the Company at its expense will forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor calling for the number of Warrant Shares as to which rights have not been exercised (or cancelled), such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the holder hereof or such holder's nominee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes). 1.2. Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant or in connection with an automatic exercise under Section 2.1, the holder hereof may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the discount percentage in Schedule I that is applicable based on the date of such election times the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such election is made. Holder may make such an election by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue such Warrant Shares to Holder. 2. IPO; LIQUIDITY EVENT; ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE. 2.1. IPO; Liquidity Event. This Warrant shall be automatically exercised upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of an IPO (as defined below) or (ii) the consummation of a Liquidity Event (as defined below). This Warrant shall become exercisable but shall not be required to be exercised by the Holder upon a Change of Control of the Company that is not a Liquidity Event. "Change of Control" shall be an event that results in the Bentleys (as defined below) ceasing to own or control more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company. The Company shall provide the Holder hereof with notice of any event that can result in the exercise of this Warrant under this Section 2.1 pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof. If this Warrant is exercised in connection with an IPO, the exercise may, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to the IPO, in which event the holder of this Warrant shall not be deemed to have exercised this Warrant until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. "IPO" means the Company's initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Act covering the offer and sale to the public for the account of the Company of any class or series of common stock of the Company resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $15 million at a "pre-money" valuation of at least $225 million; provided, however, that an IPO will be deemed to have occurred as of the end of two consecutive calendar quarters following a public offering that does not meet the requirements set forth above if the average daily market capitalization of the Company during such quarters (as measured based upon the price per share of the securities sold by the Company in such public offering) is equal to or greater than $225 million. "Liquidity Event" means a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a merger of the Company that results in the Company's stockholders immediately prior to such transaction holding less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving, continuing or purchasing entity. "Bentleys" shall mean Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Barry J. Bentley, Raymond P. Bentley and Richard P. Bentley collectively. 2
2.2. Adjustments to Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchase Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in this Section 2.2. For purposes of this Section 2.2, "Fair Market Value per Share" of securities shall mean: (i) if such securities are traded on a securities exchange, the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange during the ten (10) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the applicable date; (ii) if such securities are traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing sales prices of the securities during the ten (10) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the applicable date; and (iii) if there is no public market for such securities, the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. (a) In the event that the Company shall at any time after December 26, 2000 and prior to the Expiration Date (i) declare a dividend on common stock in shares or other securities of the Company, (ii) split or subdivide the outstanding common stock, (iii) combine the outstanding common stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its common stock any shares of other securities of the Company, then, in each such event, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that on exercise in accordance herewith the holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares or other securities of the Company which the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event (or any record date with respect thereto). Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event. (b) (i) In the event that the Company shall at any time after December 26, 2000 and prior to the Expiration Date issue any shares of common stock (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon (A) the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (as defined below) (including without limitation Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Preferred Stock") and shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement between the Company and Bachow Investment Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Escrow Agreement")), (B) exercise of Options (as defined below), (C) the conversion of common stock, in each case outstanding as of the date hereof, (D) warrants to purchase up to 1,040,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the Guaranty Agreements (as defined in the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement) entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated December 26, 2000 by and among the Company, Bentley Software, Inc., Atlantech Solutions, Inc. and PNC Bank, National Association (the "Revolving Credit and Security Agreement"), or (E) warrants to purchase up to 988,290 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock issued to the lenders pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement) without consideration or at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per Share, then, in each such event (an "Adjustment Event"), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto (the "Initial Number") shall be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant when exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares determined by 3
multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such Adjustment Event plus the number of additional shares of common stock issued for purchase in such Adjustment Event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such Adjustment Event plus the number of shares of common stock which the aggregate issuance price of the total number of shares of common stock issued in such Adjustment Event would purchase at the Exercise Price per Share then in effect. (ii) In the event that, at any time after [ ], the Company shall in any manner issue or sell any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein referred to as "Convertible Securities") or grant any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options or warrants for the purchase of, shares of common stock or Convertible Securities (such rights, options or warrants being herein referred to as "Options") and the price per share for which shares of common stock are issuable pursuant to such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, or issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options, plus, in the case of such Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Fair Market Value per Share in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options or issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall (as of the date of the granting of such Options or issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued or sold for purposes of subsection (b)(i) hereof for the price per share as so determined; provided that, except as provided in the following proviso, no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be made upon actual issue of shares of common stock so deemed to have been issued; provided further, that upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Options or conversion or exchange privileges for which any adjustment was made pursuant to subsection (b)(i) and this subsection (b)(ii) (or, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in this subsection (b)(ii), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in this subsection (b)(ii), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in this subsection (b)(ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for common stock shall change at any time), then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be readjusted and shall thereafter be such number as would have prevailed had the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (A) the shares of common stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange rights and (B) the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of 4
all of such Options or Convertible Securities whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made for the issuance, sale or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities. (iii) If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share greater than the Fair Market Value per Share then in effect (other than any such acquisition of shares of common stock or Options from any officer or employee of the Company or any redemptions, whether in whole or in part, of the Senior Common Stock), the Initial Number shall be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares determined by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of common stock, which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of common stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Exercise Price per Share then in effect. For purposes of this subsection (iii), the date as of which the Exercise Price per Share shall be computed shall be the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such common stock. (iv) In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or, if the holder shall, in the exercise of its sole discretion, object to such determination, by appraisal under the process set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. Shares of common stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any computation pursuant to this Section 2.2(b). (c) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least .25% in the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 2.2(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all such adjustments shall be made no later than three years from the date of the first event that would have required an adjustment but for this paragraph. All calculations under this Section 2.2 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share, as the case may be. (d) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2, the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Section 2.2, and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Warrant Shares shall apply on like terms to such other shares. 5
(e) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, the Purchase Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately after such adjustment. (f) In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, or in the case of the consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company with or into any other entity or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other entity, this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale, and in lieu of being exercisable for Warrant Shares, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, for the number of shares of stock or other securities or assets (including cash) to which a holder of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 2.2 with respect to the rights thereafter of the holder of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as they may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale or the entity purchasing such assets or the appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the holder of this Warrant the shares of stock, securities or assets to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled and all other obligations of the Company under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant). (g) If any question shall at any time arise with respect to the adjusted Purchase Price or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise, such question shall be determined by the independent auditors of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holders of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. (h) Notices to Warrant Holders. Upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within 10 days thereafter, cause to be given to the registered holder of this Warrant, at its address appearing on the Warrant Register by registered mail, postage prepaid, a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price as so adjusted and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as so adjusted and describing in reasonable detail the facts accounting for such adjustment and the method of calculation used. 3. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in any event 6
within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares or other securities or property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. 4. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor. 5. REDEMPTION. 5.1. Holder Redemption. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company has not yet consummated an IPO or a Liquidity Event, the holder hereof shall have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the Company to redeem the Warrant for a redemption price (the "Redemption Amount") corresponding to the Warrant Fair Market Value (as calculated pursuant to Schedule I attached hereto); provided however, that if the Company has redeemed the Senior Common Stock, the holder hereof shall have the Redemption Right at or any time after such redemption. The Company shall pay the Redemption Amount, in cash, within one hundred eighty (180) days of receiving notice from the holder that the holder is exercising the Redemption Right, together with interest on such amount accruing from the date on which the Company receives notice from the holder that the holder is exercising its Redemption Right to the date such amount is paid at an interest rate equal to the annual prime interest rate then in effect as set by PNC Bank, National Association. Upon a redemption under this Section 5.1, the holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its office specified in Section 1 hereof, and the Company shall cancel this Warrant. 5.2. Company Redemption. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company has not yet consummated an IPO or a Liquidity Event, the Company shall have the right (the "Company Redemption Right"), upon or after the redemption or conversation of all the shares of the Senior Common Stock of the Company, upon providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the holder and upon receiving the consent of the holder, to redeem the Warrant for a redemption price (the "Company Redemption Amount") corresponding to the Warrant Fair Market Value (as calculated pursuant to Schedule I attached hereto). The Company shall pay the Company Redemption Amount, in cash, on the thirtieth day after it has given notice of such redemption to the holder, together with interest on such amount accruing from the date on which the Company gives notice to the holder that the Company is exercising its Redemption Right at an interest rate equal to the annual prime interest rate then in effect as set by PNC Bank, National Association; provided that prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the holder may exercise the Warrant in accordance with Section 1 hereof. Upon a redemption under 7
this Section 5.2, the holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its office specified in Section 1 hereof, and the Company shall cancel this Warrant. 5.3. Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, each time that a holder of a Warrant seeks to exercise the Redemption Right or the Company seeks to exercise the Company Redemption Right, notice of such exercise shall be given by the Company (promptly upon its receipt or issuance of the applicable notice) to each holder of the Preferred Stock and no redemption of a Warrant shall occur prior to thirty (30) days after such notice is provided to each holder of Preferred Stock. If any holder of Preferred Stock exercises its Stockholder Redemption Right (as defined in Section (C)3(a) of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) during such thirty (30) day period, no redemption of this Warrant shall occur until all amounts due to all such exercising holders of Preferred Stock have been paid in full. 6. RESERVATION AND ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES. (a) The Company will at all times have authorized, and reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. (b) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof reducing the Purchase Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Warrant Shares at the Purchase Price as so adjusted. (c) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be free from all taxes with respect to the issuance thereof and from all liens, charges and security interests. 7. NEGOTIABILITY. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to all of which each taker or owner hereof consents and agrees: (a) Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, and subject to the legend appearing on the first page hereof, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the holder hereof executing the form of assignment at the end hereof including guaranty of signature) and delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery. Absent an effective registration statement under the Act, covering the disposition of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise hereof, the holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Each certificate representing Warrant Shares issued pursuant to this Warrant, unless at the same time of exercise such Warrant Shares are registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form on the face thereof: 8
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE (TOGETHER, THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COUNSEL FOR BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTUATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON THEIR TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 26, 2000. Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a certificate issued upon completion of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities represented) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements of the Act. (b) Any person in possession of this Warrant properly endorsed is authorized to represent itself as absolute owner hereof and is granted power to transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide purchaser hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and renounces all of its equities or rights in this Warrant in favor of every such bona fide purchaser, and every such bona fide purchaser shall acquire title hereto and to all rights represented hereby. (c) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary. (d) Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to shares for which this Warrant shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein or in the Agreement. (e) The Company shall not be required to pay any Federal or state transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of this Warrant or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant or to issue or deliver any certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant until any and all such taxes and charges shall have been paid by the holder of this Warrant or until it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due. 9
8. SUBDIVISION OF RIGHTS. This Warrant (as well as any new warrants issued pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph) is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof, at the principal office of the Company for any number of new warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of Warrant Shares of the Company that may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. 9. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The holders of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares shall have the right to specific performance by the Company of the provisions of this Warrant. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent that it may do so under applicable law, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which may be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance in any action brought against the Company for specific performance of this Warrant by the holders of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares. 10. NOTICES. (a) All notices and other communications from the Company to the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first-class certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Company in writing by the last holder of this Warrant who shall have furnished an address to the Company in writing. (b) In the event: (1) the Company shall authorize issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase capital stock of the Company or of any other subscription rights or warrants; (2) the Company shall authorize any dividend or other distribution payable in evidences of its indebtedness, cash or assets; (3) of any Liquidity Event or consolidation or merger or change of control to which the Company is a party, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, or of any capital reorganization or reclassification or change of the Common Stock; (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up to the Company; (5) of the consummation of an IPO; and (6) the Company proposes to take any other action which would require an adjustment of the Purchase Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise pursuant to Section 2.2; then the Company shall cause to be given to the registered holders of this Warrant at its address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified (or as expeditiously as possible after the occurrence of any involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up referred to in clause (4) above), a written notice in accordance with Section 10(a) stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of Common 10
Stock to be entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or distribution are to be determined, (ii) the date on which any such Liquidity Event, consolidation, merger, change of control, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective (or has become effective, in the case of any involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up), or (iii) the date on which the consummation of such IPO is expected to occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, Liquidity Event, consolidation, merger, change of control, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 10(b) or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action. 11. HEADINGS. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 12. CHANGE; WAIVER. Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 13.

Schedule I A. Purchase Price 1. IPO. If the Warrant is exercised upon the consummation of an IPO, the "Exercise Price per Share" shall be the initial offering per share price to the public of the equity security sold in the IPO discounted as set forth in A.4. below. 2. Liquidity Event. If the Warrant is exercised upon the consummation of a Liquidity Event, the "Exercise Price per Share" shall be the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Company in the Liquidity Event discounted as set forth in A.4. below. If such per share consideration includes non-cash consideration, the per share value of such non-cash consideration shall be calculated (i) for non-cash consideration consisting of shares of publicly traded securities, based upon the closing price per share of such securities on the date of such consummation or (ii) for other non-cash consideration, in the same manner that the Fair Market Value of shares is calculated in B. below. 3. Other Events. If the Warrant is exercised or redeemed other than upon the consummation of an IPO or a Liquidity Event, the "Exercise Price per Share" shall be the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (the "Fair Market Value") (as calculated in B. below) discounted as set forth in A.4. below. 4. Discount. The applicable discount to the Exercise Price per Share shall be as follows: Discount to Year Exercise Price per Share* ---- ------------------------- On or prior to first year anniversary of Closing Date Not applicable After the first year anniversary and on or prior to second 10% year anniversary of Closing Date After the second year anniversary and on or prior to third 20% year anniversary of Closing Date After the third year anniversary and on or prior to fourth 30% year anniversary of Closing Date After the fourth year anniversary and on or prior to fifth 40% year anniversary of Closing Date
Discount to Year Exercise Price per Share* ---- ------------------------- After the fifth year anniversary and on or prior to sixth 50% year anniversary of Closing Date After the sixth year anniversary of Closing Date 50% * There will be no discount to the Exercise Price Per Share at any time in the first year after the Closing Date. The Exercise Price per Share related to an exercise in any year thereafter shall be discounted as set forth above, but with the incremental amount of the discount over the preceding anniversary period reduced by the number of days remaining in the applicable anniversary period. For example purposes only, the discount to the Exercise Price per Share on the 182nd day of the second anniversary period after the Closing Date would be 5%, and the discount to the Exercise Price per Share on the 182nd day of the fourth anniversary period after the Closing Date would be 25%. B. Fair Market Value The Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock shall be determined by a disinterested independent qualified appraiser (the "Appraiser") selected by the holder and the Company. If the holder and the Company are able to agree upon an Appraiser, such Appraiser shall be instructed to prepare a written valuation or appraisal (the "Appraisal") within thirty (30) days after its selection, with the expenses of the first valuation in any given 12 month period to be borne by the Company and, thereafter, to be borne equally by the Company and the holder. If the holder and the Company are not able to agree upon the selection of an Appraiser within a five (5) day period after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the valuation, each of the holder and the Company will, within five (5) days after the end of such five (5) day period, select an Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. If either the holder or the Company fails to select an Appraiser within such five (5) days, the Appraiser selected by the other party shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. Each of the Appraisers so selected will be instructed to furnish both the holder and the Company with a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, with the expense of each appraisal to be borne by the party selecting the Appraiser. If the higher of the appraisals is not more than 110% of the lower appraisal, then the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock will be the arithmetic average of the appraisals. If the higher of the appraisals is greater than 110% of the lower appraisal, the Appraisers shall, within ten days after the issuance of their respective reports, select a third Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value. The third Appraiser shall furnish a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, with the expense thereof to be borne equally by the holder and the Company. The third appraisal shall be arithmetically averaged with the previous appraisals, and the appraisal furthest from the average of the three appraisals will be disregarded. The arithmetic average of the remaining two appraisals will be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. - 2 -
Each Appraiser engaged to provide an appraisal hereunder will be instructed to (i) include therein a statement of the criteria applied and assumptions made to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock; (ii) arrive at a single calculation of such fair market value rather than alternative calculations or a range of calculations; and (iii) not attribute a premium or discount based on the fact that (1) the Common Stock being valued constitutes a majority or less than a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, (2) there is no liquid market for the sale and purchase of the Common Stock and (3) the Common Stock is non-voting. Any appraisal not complying with the foregoing shall not constitute an appraisal for the purpose hereof. The failure of an Appraiser to complete an appraisal within thirty (30) days as instructed shall not affect the validity of such Appraiser's appraisal. "Warrant Fair Market Value" means the applicable discount percentage (as set forth in A. above) times the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares calculated. - 3 -

Exhibit 10.22 PLEDGE AGREEMENT THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of January 14, 2002, by and among Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware Corporation ("Bentley" or the "Secured Party"), and Gregory and Caroline Bentley (the "Pledgor"). BACKGROUND Bentley issued Pledgor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 429,188 shares of Bentley's Class B Common Stock (the "Original Warrant") in consideration for Pledgor's guarantee of certain obligations of Bentley under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of December 26, 2000 among Bentley, Atlantech Solutions, Inc., Bentley Software, Inc., as co-borrowers, PNC Bank, National Association, as agent, and the lenders named therein. On December 31, 2001, the Pledgor transferred a total of 61,000 warrant shares represented by the Original Warrant, and the Company recorded such transfers on its books and issued the Pledgor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 368,188 warrant shares (the "Warrant") representing the balance of the warrant shares. The Pledgor has delivered to the Secured Party a promissory note, dated January 14, 2002 (the "Note"), as consideration for a $229,400 loan from Bentley to fund certain tax obligations incurred by Pledgor as a result of the issuance of the Warrant. As a condition to making the loan, Bentley requires that the Note be secured by the Warrant. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 1. Pledged Collateral. As collateral security for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Pledgor under the Note, the Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to the Secured Party a security interest in the Warrant, and all capital stock issued by the exercise thereof, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable, or otherwise distributed or distributable in respect of or in exchange for any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral"). 2. Security for Obligation. The security interest granted by this Agreement secures the payment by the Pledgor of its payment obligation under the Note (such payment obligation is hereinafter referred to as the "Obligation"). 3. Delivery of Pledged Collateral. All instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be held by the Secured Party. Pledgor shall furnish Secured Party with duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party. After the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter - 1 -
defined), the Secured Party shall have the right, at any time in its discretion without further notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Secured Party or its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, in accordance with Section 12 hereof. 4. Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce the rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, delivering to Secured Party certificates evidencing the Pledged Collateral not already in Secured Party's possession and preparing, executing and filing financing statements on Form UCC-1 in the appropriate governmental offices. 5. Warranty of Title; Authority. The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it has good and marketable title to the property now constituting the Pledged Collateral, and will have good title to any property subsequently constituting the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, and other encumbrances; and (b) it has full capacity and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to pledge and grant a security interest in all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance hereof and the pledge of and granting of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral hereunder does not contravene any law, rule or regulation or any provision of any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected or constitute a default thereunder. 6. Consensual Rights. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Note; provided, however, that it shall give the Secured Party at least thirty 30 days prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral; and, provided, further, that it shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if the Secured Party advises him that, in the Secured Party's reasonable judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; and (ii) the Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor - 2 -
may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling him to exercise the voting and other rights which he is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) hereof shall cease and the Secured Party shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such consensual rights. 7. Transfers and Liens. The Pledgor will not sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, or create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except that (a) the Pledgor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral provided that all or an equal portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Note is immediately prepaid from the proceeds of such sale or disposition, and (b) the Pledgor may transfer up to 40 percent of the warrant shares represented by the Warrant to his children or to a trust(s) created for the benefit of his children ("Estate Planning Shares"), and, upon written notice to Bentley of any such transfer, Bentley shall immediately and automatically release its lien on any such Estate Planning Shares. 8. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. In its capacity as such attorney-in-fact, the Secured Party shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, but only for bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. 9. Secured Party May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor in accordance with Section 13(b) hereof. 10. Secured Party's Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall not have any duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, except as provided under Section 12 hereof. 11. Default. "Event of Default" means: (a) a default in payment of the amounts due and payable under the Note and the continuance of such default for 30 days after written notice thereof from Bentley to the Pledgor; - 3 -
(b) any failure by the Pledgor to perform any of his obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, or document evidencing or securing the Obligation; (c) a filing of a voluntary by or involuntary petition of bankruptcy against the Pledgor and/or insolvency (however such insolvency may be evidenced) of the Pledgor; and (d) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Pledgor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, or document evidencing or securing the Obligation. 12. Events of Default; Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then the Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to the Secured Party, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Code"), including, without limitation, retaining ownership of the Pledged Collateral or transferring the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the Code and other applicable laws and agreements. (b) The Pledgor agrees that at least fifteen days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall be given and shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. (c) The Secured Party shall be authorized at any sale (if Secured Party deems it advisable to do so) which is subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "1933 Act"), or any state "Blue Sky" laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account in compliance with the 1933 Act, and to otherwise conduct such sale such that the registration of the offer and sale of the Pledged Collateral will not be required under the 1933 Act or any state "Blue Sky" laws. The Secured Party may take all such further acts as the Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary for compliance with any provision of law, even if such act might, whether by limiting the market or by adding to the costs of sale or otherwise, depreciate prices that might otherwise be obtained for the Pledged Collateral being sold or otherwise restrict the net proceeds available from the sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale, the Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights of stay or appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. - 4 -
(d) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral in the discretion of the Secured Party, may be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 13 hereof) in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligation in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of the Obligation shall be paid over to the Pledgor as its interest may appear or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 13. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) The Pledgor agrees to indemnify the Secured Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses, or liabilities resulting from the Secured Party's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 14. Amendments, Indulgences, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in the exercise of any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof, or prevent the exercise thereof in that or any other instance. 15. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered, if hand-delivered or sent by nationally recognized overnight carrier, or when mailed, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, to the following address: If to the Secured Party: Bentley Systems, Incorporated 685 Stockton Drive Exton, PA 19341 - 5 -

Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall be binding upon the Pledgor, and its respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and the Secured Party's legal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall in no manner impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the payment of the Obligation and no security taken hereafter as security for payment or performance of the Obligation shall impair in any manner or affect this Agreement or the security interest granted hereby, all such present and future additional security to be considered as cumulative security. Any of the Pledged Collateral may be released from this Agreement without altering, varying, or diminishing in any way this Agreement or the security interest granted hereby as to the Pledged Collateral not expressly released, and this Agreement and such security interest shall continue in full force and effect as to all of the Pledged Collateral not expressly released. 17. Discharge of the Pledgor. At such time as all of the principal and interest on the Note shall have been fully paid and performed, then all rights and interests in such Pledged Collateral as shall not have been transferred or otherwise applied by the Secured Party pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by the Secured Party shall forthwith be transferred and delivered to the Pledgor, and the right, title and interest of the Secured Party therein shall cease and the Secured Party shall (i) return to the Pledgor all certificates or other documents or instruments in the possession of Secured Party for purposes of the perfection of the security interest granted hereunder and (ii) if necessary and appropriate, prepare, execute and file with the appropriate governmental authorities termination statements on Form UCC-3. 18.

(a) TRANSFER OF STOCK. Except as set forth in Section 4.1(b), prior to the consummation of an IPO (as defined below), the Purchaser shall not sell or transfer (a "Transfer") (other than in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a merger of the Company that results in the Company's stockholders immediately prior to such transaction holding less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving, continuing or purchasing entity (such sale or merger a "Liquidity Event")) any Company Stock to any person or group (as used in Rule 13d-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) who, immediately following such Transfer (and assuming conversion of the Stock and exercise of the Warrants) would, to the Purchaser's knowledge, after reasonable inquiry to the Company, beneficially own 20% or more of the Company's Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below) (an "Ineligible Purchaser"). Any Permitted Transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions applicable to the Purchaser or a Permitted Transferee under Section 4 of this Agreement, and all agreements executed in connection herewith, prior to the occurrence of any Transfer of the Company Stock, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Permitted Transferee" means any Person that becomes the record or beneficial owner of the Company Stock, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares directly or indirectly a result of Transfer from the Purchaser in accordance with and as permitted by this Agreement.

"IPO" means the Company's first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale to the public for the account of the Company of any class or series of common stock or other equity security of the Company. (b) TRANSFER BY THE BENTLEYS. Except in connection with a sale of the Company by merger or otherwise, prior to the consummation of an IPO, the Bentleys hereby agree not to: (i) Transfer any Company Stock to an Ineligible Purchaser (other than another Bentley); or (ii) Transfer any Company Stock to any transferee unless such transferee agrees in writing not to Transfer the Company Stock prior to the consummation of an IPO, to an Ineligible Purchaser. (c) ADDITIONAL STOCK. Prior to the consummation of an IPO, the Purchaser shall not acquire any Company Stock or other securities (or any rights or interest therein) of the Company (such securities, the "Employee Securities") from any current or former employee of the Company except in compliance with this Section 4.1(c). Before a Purchaser may acquire any Employee Securities, the Purchaser must give to the Company a written notice signed by the Purchaser (the "Purchaser's Notice") stating (a) the Purchaser's bona fide intention to acquire such Employee Securities and the name and address of the proposed transferor; (b) the - 16 -
number of shares of such Employee Securities; and (c) the bona fide cash price or, in reasonable detail, other consideration, per share for which the Purchaser proposes to acquire such Employee Securities (the "Offered Price"). Upon the request of the Company, the Purchaser will promptly furnish information to the Company as may be reasonably requested to establish that the offer and transferor are bona fide. The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase all of such Employee Securities, if the Company gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the Purchaser within sixty calendar days after the date of its receipt of the Purchaser's Notice to the Company (the "Company's Refusal Period"). The purchase price for such Employee Securities to be purchased by the Company exercising its right of first refusal under this section will be the Offered Price multiplied by the number of shares of Employee Securities to be purchased by the Company, and will be payable as set forth in this section. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith. Payment of the purchase price for such Employee Securities purchased by the Company exercising its right of first refusal will be made within thirty days after the end of the Company's Refusal Period. Payment of the purchase price will be made in cash (by check or wire transfer at the option of the Company). If the Company has elected not to purchase all of such Employee Securities, the Purchaser may purchase all of such Employee Securities at the Offered Price or at a higher price; provided that such purchase (i) is consummated within one hundred twenty calendar days of the date of the Purchaser's Notice, (ii) is on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than the terms proposed in the Purchaser's Notice, and (iii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement.

(d) VOTING AGREEMENTS. Prior to the consummation of an IPO, the Purchaser and its affiliates (other than the Bentleys) shall not grant a proxy or otherwise enter into a written agreement to act in concert with any person or group (as defined above) for the purpose of effecting or attempting to effect a change in control of the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Purchaser from taking any action on its own behalf as a shareholder (including voting on any matter or responding to a tender offer for Company Stock). 4.2 RIGHT OF CO-SALE. (a) EQUIVALENT TERMS. So long as any of the Stock, the Warrants or Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are outstanding, and except as provided in Section 4.2(b), (i) the Purchaser shall have the right of co-sale (the "Co-Sale Rights") so that if a Bentley enters into an agreement to sell, in a private transaction, more than 40% of his direct or indirect equity interest in the Company (as of the date of Closing) to a third party, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such sale on a pro-rata basis (such that the Purchaser shall have the right to sell to such third party an amount of shares of Stock and Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock and Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares then owned by the Purchaser divided by the sum of the number of shares of Stock and Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares then owned or purchasable by the Purchaser and the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned or purchasable by such Bentley multiplied by the number of shares of capital stock proposed to be sold to such third party) on the - 17 -
same terms and conditions, and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bentleys (collectively) shall not sell more than 20% of the Company Stock owned by them collectively, or sell any shares where the purchaser would thereafter own more than 20% of the Company's Fully Diluted Shares, unless such transaction also includes an offer for the same price per share (and the same type of consideration and payment terms) for 100% of the Stock and Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. (b) TRANSFERS NOT SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF CO-SALE. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Transfers made among the Bentleys or for either estate planning purposes or subsequent to the death of a Bentley, provided that the purchaser of such shares shall agree to be subject to the agreement regarding transferability and voting in place among the Bentleys at the time of such transfer or death. 4.3 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. (a) OFFERING OF SECURITIES. So long as any of the Stock or the Warrant or Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are outstanding, and except as provided in Section 4.3(d), the Company shall not issue any equity security unless it first offers in writing to sell to each Purchaser its pro rata share of any proposed issue of equity security, at the same price and on the same terms at which the Company proposes to sell such issue to others. For purposes hereof, a Purchaser's pro rata share of an issue of equity securities shall be that percentage of such issue that is equal to that percentage of its ownership, assuming full conversion of the Stock and full exercise of the Warrant, of the Company's Fully Diluted Shares. The term "equity security" when used in this Section 4.3 shall mean any stock of the Company, or any security convertible, with or without consideration, into stock, or any security carrying any warrant, option, or right to subscribe to, or to purchase any stock, or any such warrant, option, or right. (b) NOTICE OF OFFERING. The Company's offer shall describe the equity security proposed to be issued by the Company, specifying the quantity, the price and payment terms. The Purchaser shall have ten business days from receipt of such offer to accept the offer, which acceptance shall be in writing and may be as to all or any part of its pro rata share of such issue. Sale of the portion of the equity securities subscribed for hereunder shall be held on the same date(s) as the final sale of the applicable equity securities by the Company to other purchasers. (c) SALE TO THIRD PARTIES. If the Purchaser does not subscribe for all of the issue of the equity securities offered to it pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Company may sell the portion of the securities not subscribed for, together with the portion of such issue of securities not subject to preemptive rights under Section 4.3, at a price no less favorable to the Company than that specified in such offer and on payment terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in such offer. However, if such sale is not consummated within 90 days after the date the offer pursuant to this Section was made, the Company shall not sell such securities without again complying with this Section. (d) ISSUANCES SUBJECT TO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. The preemptive rights granted in Section 4.3(a) shall only apply to the issuance of any issue of equity securities by the - 18 -
Company in connection with any equity or equity related cash financing other than an IPO or sales to Company employees under stock option or benefit plans. 5.

(a) In the event the Initiating Holders are Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and the Underwriter's Representative advises such Initiating Holders in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten pursuant to Section 2.4.1., then (i) first the Common Stock (other than Registrable Securities) held by officers or directors of the Company excluding the Senior Common Stock or Common Stock issued upon Conversion of Senior Common Stock held by Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley and Barry J. Bentley, (ii) next the securities other than Registrable Securities, (iii) next the securities requested to be Registered by the Company and (iv) last the Registrable Securities of Holders of other than Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, shall be excluded from such Registration to the extent required by such limitation. If a limitation of the number of shares is still required, the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in such Registration held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 2.4.4 (a) shall be included in such Registration Statement. (b) In the event the Initiating Holders are Holders of the Senior Common Stock or of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Senior Common Stock and the Underwriter's Representative advises such Initiating Holders in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten pursuant to Section 2.4.1, then (i) first the Common Stock (other than Registrable Securities) held by officers or directors of the Company excluding the Senior Common Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Senior Common Stock held by Gregory S.

all Holders of Senior Common Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Senior Common Stock in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in such Registration held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 2.4.4(b) shall be included in such Registration Statement. 2.4.5 Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration.

The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the Registration Statement. 2.5 Blue Sky in Demand Registration. In the event of any Registration pursuant to Section 2, the Company will exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such securities; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, such expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders (but only to the extent so required). 3. Piggyback Registration. 3.1 Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event the Company decides (other than pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement) to Register for sale to the public generally, at any time subsequent to the Company's IPO, any of its Common Stock (either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand Registration rights) on a form that would be suitable for a Registration involving solely Registrable Securities, the Company will: (i) promptly give each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws) and (ii) include in such Registration (and any related qualification under Blue Sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request delivered to the Company by any Holder within 15 days after delivery of such written notice from the Company. 3.2 Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. 3.2.1 Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 3.1 is for a Registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1. In such event the right of any Holder to Registration shall be conditioned upon such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities -6-
in such underwriting to the extent provided in this Section 3. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter's Representative for such offering. The Holders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 3. 3.2.2 Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the Underwriter's Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter's Representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 3.2.3) may limit the number of, or eliminate, the shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration and underwriting. 3.2.3 Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. In the event that the Underwriter's Representative limits the number of shares to be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 3.2.2, the number of shares to be included in such Registration shall be allocated (subject to Section 3.2.2) in the following manner: (i) first the shares (other than Registrable Securities) held by officers or directors of the Company, excluding the Senior Common Stock held by Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, and Barry J. Bentley, (ii) next the securities other than Registrable Securities and (iii) last the Registrable Securities of Holders of other than Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, shall be excluded from such Registration and underwriting to the extent required by such limitation. If a limitation of the number of shares is still required after such exclusions, the number of shares that may be included in the Registration and underwriting by selling shareholders shall be allocated among all Holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be entitled to inclusion in such Registration held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 3.2.3 shall be included in the Registration Statement. 3.2.4 Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter delivered at least seven days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such Registration. 3.3 Blue Sky in Piggyback Registration. In the event of any Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3, the Company will exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such securities; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event -7-
any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, such expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders. 4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be Registered (which Holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the Holders of a majority of the Senior Common Stock, as applicable, agree to forfeit their right to one demand Registration pursuant to Section 2; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a Material Adverse Event with respect to the condition, business or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 2. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration shall be borne by the Holders of the securities Registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares Registered. 5. Registration Procedures. The Company will keep each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration pursuant to this Agreement advised as to the initiation and completion of such Registration. At its expense, the Company will: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to 120 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; (c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them; (d) use its best efforts to obtain clearance for such Registration and sale of securities from the National Association of Securities Dealers; (e) promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or the Holder's designated attorney-in-fact, whenever a prospectus relating thereto covered by such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such -8-
Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and (f) furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective (i) an opinion dated such date of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, in such form and substance as is reasonably and customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting Registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in such form and substance as is reasonably and customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting Registration of Registrable Securities. 6. Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of the Company's obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request. 7. Indemnification. 7.1 Company's Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and constituent partners, legal counsel for the Holders, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which Registration, qualification or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent such claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related Registration Statement) incident to any such Registration, qualification or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such Registration, qualification or compliance; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such Holder or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based -9-
upon any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, underwriter, or controlling person and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company. 7.2 Holder's Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such Registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors and constituent partners and each person controlling such other Holder, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by such Holder of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to such Holder and relating to action or inaction required of such Holder in connection with any such Registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, partners, persons, law and accounting firms, underwriters or control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company, provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further that each Holder's liability under this Section 7.2 shall not exceed such Holder's proceeds from the offering of securities made in connection with such Registration. 7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize such action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of such claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Holders in conducting the defense of such action, suit or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 7, then counsel for such party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be -10-
necessary to protect the interest of such party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such party of any liability that such party may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 7. 7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 7.5 Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 7.6 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise. 8. Limitations on Registration Rights Granted to Other Securities. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company providing for the granting to such holder of any Registration rights except for Registration rights that are entirely subordinate to, and do not interfere with, the rights of the Holders; provided that, with the consent of (i) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and/or Registrable Securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock is converted and as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) and (ii) the Required Holders. Additional holders may be added as parties to this Agreement with regard to any or all securities of the Company held by them. Any such additional parties shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement, and upon execution by such additional parties and by the Company, shall be considered a Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. 9. Transfer of Rights. The right to cause the Company to Register securities granted by the Company to the Holders under this Agreement may be assigned by any Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Convertible Securities or Registrable Securities not sold to the public acquiring at least 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock or at least 7,500 shares of Senior Common Stock (or Registrable Securities into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Senior -11-
Common Stock have been converted) equitably adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, stock dividends, changes, combinations or the like, immediately prior to the transfer; provided, however, that (x) the Company must receive written notice 10 days prior to the time of said transfer, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such information and Registration rights are being assigned, and (y) the transferee or assignee of such rights must not be a person to whom transfer of such securities is prohibited by the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement as applicable. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the foregoing sentence, (i) any Holder which is a partnership may transfer such Holder's Registration rights to such Holder's constituent partners; and (ii) any Holder which is a corporation may transfer such Holder's Registration rights to any corporation or other entity at least 50% in interest of which is owned by such Holder or the owners of at least 50% in interest of such Holder without restriction as to the number or percentage of shares acquired by any such constituent partner, corporation or other entity. 10. Market Stand-off. Each Holder that, immediately after the closing of the IPO, will hold five percent (5%) of the Company's outstanding stock hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company and the Underwriter's Representative (if any), such Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company during the 180-day period following the effective date of the Company's Registration for the IPO, provided that such restriction shall only apply if the Company shall have also obtained from each of its directors and executive officers their agreement to be bound by the same restriction. 11. Limitations on Registration; Conversion of Preferred Stock. 11.1 No Action Letter. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, if the Company shall have obtained from the Commission a "no-action" letter in which the Commission has indicated that it will take no action if, without Registration under the Securities Act, any Holder disposes of Registrable Securities covered by any request for Registration made under this Agreement in the specific manner in which such Holder proposes to dispose of the Registrable Securities included in such request (such as including, without limitation, inclusion of such Registrable Securities in an underwriting initiated by either the Company or the Holders), or if in the written opinion of counsel for the Company concurred in by counsel for such Holder, which concurrence shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with such disposition, the Registrable Securities included in such request shall not be eligible for Registration under this Agreement; provided, however, that any Registrable Securities not so disposed of shall be eligible for Registration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to other proposed dispositions to which this Section 11 does not apply. 11.2 Conversion. The Registration rights of the Holders of the Registrable Securities set forth in this Agreement are conditioned upon the conversion of the Convertible Securities with respect to which Registration is sought into Registrable Securities no later than immediately prior to the closing of the applicable sale of securities. 11.3 Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to Register any Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement if at the time the request therefor is received, such requesting Holder and all of his -12-

Information. 12.1 Financial Statements and Reports to Holders. The Company shall deliver to the Initial Stockholder (or a permitted transferee that acquires at least 750,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or Registrable Securities into which such shares have been converted) equitably adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, stock dividends, changes, combinations or the like) and each Purchaser (or permitted transferees of the Purchasers): (a) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such year and statements of income and cash flows for such year, which year-end financial reports shall be in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and shall be audited and accompanied by the opinion of independent public accountants of a "Big 5" accounting firm approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (b) within 45 days after the end of each of its first three fiscal quarters, unaudited financial statements of the Company on a quarterly basis prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and fairly reflecting the fiscal affairs of the Company to the date thereof; (c) contemporaneously with delivery to holders of Common Stock of the Company, a copy of each report of the Company delivered to holders of Common Stock; (d) a notice summarizing any material litigation initiated by or against the Company and any material developments regarding any such litigation or regarding other material legal or regulatory issues, in each case promptly after the occurrence thereof; and (e) such other available information as is reasonably requested. 12.2 Additional Reports to Initial Stockholder.

EXHIBIT 10.30 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASE THIS IS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASE ("Settlement Agreement"), dated March 26, 1999 between BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation with offices at 685 Stockton Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. ("BSI"), Barry Bentley, Raymond Bentley, Scott Bentley, Gregory Bentley, and Keith Bentley (the "Bentleys") on the one hand, and INTERGRAPH CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with offices at One Madison Industrial Park, Huntsville, AL 35894 ("Intergraph") on the other hand, all of which are collectively referred to as "the Parties". WHEREAS, on April 17, 1987, BSI and Intergraph entered into a Software License Agreement for MicroStation, which was amended from time to time with Amendments 1 through 14 (the "SLA"); WHEREAS, various disputes arose among the parties relating to their respective rights under the SLA and other matters; WHEREAS, BSI initiated an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association, titled Bentley Systems, Incorporated, Claimant, and Intergraph Corporation, Respondent, case no. 30 Y 117 00094 96 (the "Arbitration"); WHEREAS, hearings have been held in the Arbitration and final arguments are scheduled to take place before the Arbitrators; WHEREAS, BSI and Intergraph wish to settle all disputes and disagreements between them; NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree: SECTION 1 Released Claims; No Fault or Wrongdoing; Closing 1.1 As used in this Settlement Agreement, "Released Claims" means any and all actions and causes of action, claims and demands, theories of recovery, suits, damages, costs, attorney's fees, expert fees, expenses, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, covenants, contracts, agreements, compensation, payments, royalties, interest, and profit disgorgement, and all sums of money known or unknown, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, at law or in equity, that the Parties have or may have based upon any fact, matter, act, omission or circumstance, known or unknown (collectively, "Claims"), from the beginning of the world to the date of this Settlement Agreement, including, but not limited to, those that have been asserted or may have been asserted or could have been asserted in the Arbitration or otherwise; provided, however, that "Released Claims" shall not include any Claims based upon a breach of Intergraph's or BSI's obligations (i) under the Settlement Agreement, Software License Agreement and letter agreement between Intergraph and BSI, all dated March 10, 1999 and
entered into in settlement of the PlotLib litigation; and (ii) to make payment for products or services obtained or provided in the normal course of business since January 1, 1999. 1.2 Nothing in this Settlement Agreement, nor any actions taken by any party in connection with this Settlement Agreement, constitutes or should be construed as or deemed to be an admission of fault, liability or wrongdoing of any kind whatsoever on the part of any party. All Parties expressly deny any fault, liability or wrongdoing concerning the Released Claims and intend merely to avoid continuing litigation with each other. 1.3 As used in this Settlement Agreement, the "Closing" means the time set by mutual agreement of Intergraph and BSI for the payment and delivery of the consideration, and the performance of other obligations to be performed at Closing under this Settlement Agreement; provided, however, that the Closing shall occur on or before April 1, 1999, or such later date to which Intergraph and BSI may agree in writing. If the Closing does not occur by the close of business on April 1, 1999 (or such extended date to which Intergraph and BSI agree in writing), then this Settlement Agreement shall become null and void and none of the Parties will have any further obligations hereunder. The "Consummation of the Closing" hereunder shall occur when the Parties have paid and delivered the consideration, and performed all other obligations to be performed at Closing under this Settlement Agreement. SECTION 2 Provisions Applicable to Intergraph 2.1 At the Closing: (a) Intergraph shall pay BSI $12,000,000 (Twelve Million Dollars) U.S. by wire transfer; and (b) Intergraph shall transfer to BSI ownership of 3,000,000 (Three Million) shares of Class A common stock of BSI owned by Intergraph.

SECTION 4 Registration Rights; Voting Proxy 4.1 Piggyback Registration in IPO. 4.1.1 Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Intergraph's BSI Shares. In the event that BSI, in its sole discretion, decides to register for sale to the public generally any of its Common Stock on a form that would be suitable for the initial public offering of its Common Stock in an underwritten offering (whether on a firm commitment or "best-efforts" basis) registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "IPO"), BSI will: (i) promptly give Intergraph written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which BSI intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws) and (ii) include in such IPO all of the BSI Class A Common Stock owned by Intergraph and specified in a written request delivered to BSI by Intergraph within 15 days after delivery of such written notice from BSI; provided that the number of shares owned by Intergraph to be included in the IPO shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of BSI shares included in the IPO. Intergraph shall enter into the underwriting agreement along with BSI for the IPO, which, with respect to Intergraph, shall contain such terms and provisions as are customarily applicable to selling shareholders. After the notice of a BSI IPO as contemplated by Section 4.1.1, then BSI will, from time to time, keep Intergraph advised as to the status of the underwriting offering, including the initiation and completion of the offering and the occurrence of material events or developments relating to or affecting the offering. 4.1.2 Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If Intergraph disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to BSI and the underwriter delivered at least seven days prior to the effective date of the IPO registration statement. 4.1.3 Blue Sky in Piggyback Registration. In the event of any registration of Intergraph's BSI shares in the IPO, BSI will exercise its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by the registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such securities; provided, however, that (i) BSI shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Settlement Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, such expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders. In the event the registered offering is effected on a "best-efforts" basis, the shares of stock to be sold thereby will be allocated among new shares to be issued by BSI and shares to be sold by Intergraph on a pro rata basis relative to the number of shares to be registered on behalf of each such party. 4.1.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Settlement Agreement shall be - 4 -
borne by BSI. All Selling Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registration of Intergraph's BSI shares shall be borne by Intergraph pro rata on the basis of the number of shares registered. (a) "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by BSI in complying with the registration of Intergraph's BSI shares in the IPO, including, without limitation, all federal and state registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for BSI and Intergraph, Blue Sky fees and expenses, and accounting fees and expenses, but excluding Selling Expenses. (b) "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Intergraph's BSI shares in the IPO. 4.1.5 Information Furnished by Intergraph. It shall be a condition precedent of BSI's obligations under this Section 4 of this Settlement Agreement that Intergraph furnish to BSI such information regarding Intergraph and the distribution proposed by Intergraph as BSI may reasonably request for purposes of including Intergraph's shares in the IPO. 4.1.6 Indemnification. (a) BSI's Indemnification of Intergraph. To the extent permitted by law, BSI will indemnify Intergraph, each of its officers, directors and each person controlling Intergraph, with respect to the inclusion of Intergraph's shares in the IPO, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent such claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related registration statement) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by BSI of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to BSI and relating to action or inaction required of BSI in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and BSI will reimburse Intergraph; each such underwriter and each person who controls Intergraph or such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 4.1.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if settlement is effected without the consent of BSI (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that BSI will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to BSI by Intergraph, or such underwriter, or controlling person and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of BSI. (b) Intergraph's Indemnification of BSI. To the extent permitted by law, Intergraph will, if its BSI shares are included in the securities as to which such registration, - 5 -
qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, indemnify BSI, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of BSI, each underwriter, if any, of BSI's securities covered by such a registration statement, and each person who controls BSI or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by Intergraph of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to Intergraph and relating to action or inaction required of Intergraph in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse BSI, such directors, officers, partners, persons, law and accounting firms, underwriters or control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, expense or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to BSI by Intergraph and stated to be specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of BSI; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 4.1.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Intergraph (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld); and provided further that Intergraph's liability under this Section 4.1.6 shall not exceed its proceeds from the offering of securities made in connection with such registration. (c) Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.1.6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.1.6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize such action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of such claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of BSI and Intergraph in conducting the defense of such action, suit or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 4.1.6, then counsel for such party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of such party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.1.6, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such party of any liability that such party may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 4.1.6. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.1.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, - 6 -
in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. (f) Survival. The obligations of BSI and Intergraph under this Section 4.1 shall survive the completion of any offering of registrable securities in a registration statement under this Settlement Agreement, and otherwise. 4.2 Lock-Up Commitment. In connection with the IPO, Intergraph shall execute and deliver, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the underwriter(s) in the IPO, a form of "lock-up" agreement pursuant to which Intergraph will agree not to sell any of its BSI shares (other than those included in the IPO pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) for a period equal to that lock-up period as contained in comparable "lock-up" agreements signed by the Bentleys who remain as BSI shareholders at the time of the IPO. 4.3 Proxy. At the Closing, Intergraph must execute and deliver to BSI an irrevocable proxy, covering the BSI shares owned by Intergraph, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. As long as such proxy remains in effect, Intergraph shall not acquire beneficial ownership of additional BSI shares. SECTION 5 Provisions Applicable to All Parties 5.1 Bentley and Intergraph agree to keep confidential all of the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement and not disclose the terms and conditions to any third party except as may be required by or in connection with: (a) IRS, SEC or other similar domestic or foreign, federal, state or local reporting or disclosure requirements; (b) an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) disclosures to accountants, advisors, lawyers and investors in the normal course of those parties' dealings with the Parties; or (d) a business transaction that requires the disclosure of such agreements or their terms under a confidentiality agreement which specifies that the terms and conditions of any confidential information will not be disclosed; provided, that (i) Intergraph's first public disclosure of this settlement in a report filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1934 shall include a statement that following the settlement, Intergraph's equity - 7 -
interest in BSI was reduced to approximately 33%, and (ii) after either party makes a public disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement, the other Parties may make disclosures of the same terms and conditions. 5.2 The Parties acknowledge that they have voluntarily entered into this Settlement Agreement, have had the advice of counsel regarding this Settlement Agreement, and are not acting under duress in entering into this Settlement Agreement. 5.3 This Settlement Agreement is not assignable. 5.4 Each party represents and warrants that it or he has the right and authority to enter into this Settlement Agreement and that this Settlement Agreement constitutes its or his valid and binding obligation. 5.5 Each party represents and warrants that it or he is the sole owner of the Released Claims being released by it or him and that it or he has not previously assigned or transferred to any person or entity any of the Released Claims. 5.6 This Settlement Agreement is governed by the law of the State of Delaware. 5.7 This Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together constitute a single agreement. 5.8 This Settlement Agreement is the product of joint draftsmanship and will not be construed against one party more strictly than against the other. 5.9 The headings in this Settlement Agreement are inserted merely for the purpose of convenience and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Settlement Agreement. 5.10 The Parties understand, acknowledge and agree that if any matter of fact or law in their negotiations, discussions or correspondence regarding this Settlement Agreement is found hereafter to be different from the fact or law now known by them or any of them, they expressly accept and assume all risks of any such difference of fact or law, and they agree that this Settlement Agreement shall remain binding and effective notwithstanding any such difference of fact or law. 5.11 Upon Consummation of the Closing, the Parties shall execute an acknowledgement that Consummation of the Closing has occurred. 5.12 The Parties acknowledge and agree that all written agreements between or among them that are in effect on the date of the Closing shall remain in full force and effect following Consummation of the Closing. 5.13 This Settlement Agreement sets forth the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by the Parties, except that Section 4 may be modified by a written amendment or subsequent written agreement(s) signed by BSI and Intergraph. - 8 -

EXHIBIT A IRREVOCABLE PROXY Intergraph Corporation ("Intergraph") hereby appoints the Secretary of Bentley Systems, Incorporated ("BSI") as its proxy, with the power of substitution, to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or to express written consent or dissent with respect to, all shares of Class A Common Stock of BSI now or hereafter held of record by Intergraph and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Intergraph, and all shares issued hereafter in respect of such shares as a dividend, stock split or combination, or share reclassification (collectively, the "Shares"), in each case in accordance with instructions from BSI's Board of Directors. This is an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, which is being granted pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release dated April l, 1999, among Intergraph, BSI and other parties (the "Settlement Agreement").

In the event the U.S. Government challenges Company's claim of rights in the Integrated Products and/or of its right to assert restricted rights in the Integrated Products against the U.S. Government, Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide such proof as -8-
may be required to substantiate its claim in accordance with the above named clauses. Upon Company's request, EDS agrees to cooperate with Company to provide such proof as may be required to substantiate Company's claim with the above named clauses relative to the Embedded Material. Company agrees further to notify EDS of such challenge promptly and to permit EDS, at its own risk and expense, to participate in the defense of such challenge.

Any dispute that the parties are unable to resolve as provided above will be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in accordance with and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association except that temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions, or their equivalent, may be obtained from any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will allow such discovery as appropriate, consistent with the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing fair, speedy and cost-effective resolution of disputes. All discovery will be completed, and the arbitration hearing will commence, within forty five (45) days after appointment of all the arbitrators, and the arbitration hearing will conclude within thirty (30) days after it commences. The arbitrators will make every effort to enforce these timing requirements strictly, but may extend the time periods upon a showing that exceptional circumstances require extension to prevent manifest injustice. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any damages of the type excluded by this Agreement, regardless of the nature of the claim. The decision of the arbitrator will be rendered in writing and will explain the reasons therefor. Each party will bear its own attorney's fees and other costs and expenses, and each party will equally share the cost of the arbitrator. The arbitrators may render awards of monetary damages, direction to take or refrain from taking action, or both, and may, at their direction, notwithstanding the proceeding, order one party to reimburse the other for attorney's fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by the other party in connection with the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of award and an enforcement, as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. 15.10 Waiver and Severance. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or exercise any of its rights hereunder will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or right, nor in any way affect the validity of the Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of the other party thereafter to enforce each and every provision. -28-
If any provision of this Agreement or part thereof is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected, and this Agreement will be deemed amended in order to eliminate the offending provision or part thereof and make the Agreement enforceable to the maximum extent possible. The parties agree that the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which arc as similar as possible in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision, but are valid and enforceable. 15.11 Survival of Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason will not release either party from any liabilities or obligations set forth in this Agreement which (i) the parties have expressly agreed will survive any such termination or expiration, or (ii) remain to be performed or by their nature would be intended to be applicable following any such termination or expiration, including (but not limited to) Article II (for the period set forth in Article 12.5), Article 3.1 (for the period set forth in Article 12.5), Articles 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, Article IV (for the period set forth in Article 12.5), VIII, X (for the period set forth therein), XI and XII. 15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto) constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all proposals or prior agreements, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating thereto. Amendments and supplements to this Agreement must be in writing signed by authorized representatives of the parties. 15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be signed by their duly authorized representatives, effective as of the date first written above.
