Upon the distribution of shares of Common Stock (plus any dividends or distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock made after the Effective Time) to a Beneficiary such Beneficiary’s Beneficial Interest Units shall be automatically terminated and such Beneficiary will cease to be a Beneficiary of the Trust thereupon. [In the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock or other assets held by the Trust to honor all requests for distribution made in compliance with this Agreement and received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such deficiency, and the Depositor shall use its best efforts to cause to be issued or delivered to the Trust such number of shares and such other assets as shall be necessary to satisfy such deficiency.]
SECTION 4.2Certification of Beneficiary Status. As a condition to its receipt of any distribution from the Trust, each Beneficiary that is or was a registered owner of Common Stock on the books and records of the Depositor must provide the Trustee with the certification as to Beneficiary status in the form attached hereto asExhibit C, and each Beneficiary that holds or held its shares beneficially in “street name” must provide the Trustee with the certification as to Beneficiary status in the form attached hereto asExhibit D.

Exhibit B
CERTIFICATION FOR TRANSFER OF RECORD OWNERSHIP OF
SHARES OF SELECTICA, INC. COMMON STOCK ISSUED
IN EXCHANGE FOR PREVIOUSLY OUTSTANDING RIGHTS
On January 2, 2009, each right previously outstanding under Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) of Selectica, Inc. (the “Company”) was exchanged (the “Exchange”) at the close of business on that date for one share of Selectica’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”). The Exchange does not apply to rights formerly held by any Acquiring Person (defined below) at the time of the Exchange.
On January 2, 2009, a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that Trilogy, Inc, Versata Enterprises, Inc. and their Affiliates and Associates, as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Trilogy Group”), became “Acquiring Persons” as of December 19, 2008. As a result, rights held by members of the Trilogy Group became void on that date and members of the Trilogy Group are not eligible to participate in the Exchange. No other person or group has been determined to be an Acquiring Person. In order to receive shares of Common Stock in the Exchange, an eligible stockholder is required to certify that it is not an Acquiring Person.
Prior to February 4, 2009 eligible stockholder certifications were to be provided to the Company’s Exchange Agent, Wells Fargo Shareholder Services, for processing. On February 4, 2009, Wells Fargo transferred all shares that were not credited to the accounts of certifying stockholders to Wilmington Trust Company. The Company has appointed Wilmington Trust Company to serve as Trustee under a Trust Agreement dated January 26, 2008, to hold these shares on behalf of eligible stockholders who did not received shares of Common Stock in the Exchange pursuant to the initial distribution by Wells Fargo (each, a “Beneficiary” and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”), pending receipt of the required certification. For the avoidance of doubt, members of the Trilogy Group are not Beneficiaries under the Trust Agreement.
To receive shares of Common Stock from the Trustee, an eligible stockholder must certify that it is not an Acquiring Person by completing this certification form in the space provided below.
The Rights Agreement defines an “Affiliate” and “Associate” as having the respective meanings ascribed to them in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on January 2, 2009, and to the extent not included within such definitions, any other person whose shares of Common Stock would be deemed constructively owned by such first person, owned by a single “entity” as defined in Section 1.382-3(a)(1) of applicable income tax regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or otherwise aggregated with shares of Common Stock owned by such first person pursuant to the provisions of the Code, or any successor provision or replacement provisions; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed to be the Affiliate or Associate of another person solely because either or both persons are or were directors of the Company.
