of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualifica tion
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, could not have, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or
financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a
"MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").
(b) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions

necessary action on the part of the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents
has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may

liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of
the provisions of its respective articles of organization, bylaws or other

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
-------------------------------
Section 4.1. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. If the Purchaser should

purchased by it hereunder (and upon conversion or exercise thereof, any
Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares), the Purchaser understands and agrees that

the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from the

pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
In connection with any transfer of any Shares, Warrants, Underlying Shares or
Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to
the Company, the Company may require that the transferor provide to the Company
an opinion of counsel experienced in the area of United States securities laws
selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such Shares, Warrants, Underlying Shares or Warrant
Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required
by applicable law, of the following legend on certificates representing the
Shares, Warrants, Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE
SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION
E-31
16
OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROMULGATED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,
MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) TO CAYENNE SOFTWARE, INC. OR (C)
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed upon the
conversion of Shares or exercise of Warrants represented by such certificates at
any time after the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been declared
effective under the Securities Act or upon any resale of Underlying Shares or
Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or sooner if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company
experienced in the area of United States securities laws such legend is no
longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the
Commission). The certificates representing the Shares, Warrants, Underlying
Shares or Warrant Shares shall also bear any other legends required by
applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when,
in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable
securities laws, such legends are no longer required under the applicable
requirements of such securities laws. The Company agrees that it will provide
the Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute stock certificate or certificates
or warrant certificates, free from such legend at such time as such legend is no
longer applicable. The Purchaser agrees that, in connection with any transfer of
Shares, Warrants, Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares by it pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it will comply with
all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company makes no
representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption
from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of Shares,
Warrants, Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares.
Section 4.2. STOP TRANSFER INSTRUCTION. The Purchaser agrees
that the Company shall be entitled to make a notation on its records and give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company in order to implement the
restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1 above.
Section 4.3. FURNISHING OF INFORMATION. For so long as the
Purchaser owns Shares, Warrants, Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
E-32
17

pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser annual
and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of
such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those
that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section

have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act.

Underlying Shares or the Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction,
or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state securities
commission or other regulatory authority, or (B) any event that makes any

issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption
from qualification of the Shares, Warrant Shares or Underlying Shares or the
Common Stock under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, and (iii) if at any
time any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue
an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the

laws, use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at
the earliest possible time.

event shall occur as a result of which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Company, it becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Disclosure
Materials in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances at the time the Disclosure Materials were delivered to the
Purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Disclosure Materials to comply with applicable law, the Company shall promptly
prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Materials so
that (i) as so amended or supplemented the Disclosure Materials will not include
an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
existing at the time it is delivered to Purchaser, not misleading and (ii) the
Disclosure Materials will comply in all material respects with applicable law.
Section 4.7. BLUE SKY LAWS. In accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall qualify the Shares, the
Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Underlying Shares under the securities or

shall be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation
where they are not now so qualified.
Section 4.8. INTEGRATION. The Company shall not and shall use
its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate shall sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the

manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale
of the Shares, the Warrant Shares or Underlying Shares to the Purchaser.
Section 4.9. FURNISHING OF RULE 144A MATERIALS. The Company
shall, for so long as any of the Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Underlying

the two preceding fiscal years as the Company has been in operation.
Section 4.10. SOLICITATION MATERIALS. The Company shall not

otherwise dispose (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase

Closing Date, except (i) upon conversion of any of the Preferred Stock or

the terms of this paragraph, unless (A) the Company delivers to the Purchaser a
written notice (the "SUBSEQUENT FINANCING NOTICE") of its intention to effect
such Subsequent Financing, which Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the identity
of the Persons who proposes to provide such Subsequent Financing and the amount
of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and (B) the Purchaser shall not
have notified the Company by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the tenth Business Day
after its receipt of the Subsequent Financing Notice of its willingness to enter
into good faith negotiations to provide (or to cause its sole designee to
provide) financing to the Company on substantially the terms set forth in the
Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Purchaser shall fail to notify the Company
of its intention to enter into such negotiations within such time period, the
Company may effect the Subsequent Financing substantially upon the terms and to
the Persons (or Affiliates of such Persons) set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice; provided, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a
second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser shall again have the right
of first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), subject to the
exceptions set forth above in this paragraph (a), if the Subsequent Financing
subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice shall not have been
consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing
Notice within 90 days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice
with the Person (or an Affiliate of such Person) identified in the Subsequent

Section 4.13. PURCHASER OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK. The
Purchaser may not use its ability to convert Shares hereunder or under the terms
of the Statement of Rights and Preferences or to use its ability to acquire
Shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants to the extent that such
conversion or exercise would result in the Purchaser owning more than 4.9% of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Company shall, promptly upon its
receipt of a Holder Conversion Notice tendered by the Purchaser (or its
designee) under the Statement of Rights and Preferences, and upon its receipt of
a notice of exercise under the terms of the Warrants notify the Purchaser of the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and the number of
Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares which would be issuable to the Purchaser
(or its designee, as the case may be) if the conversion requested in such
Conversion Notice and the exercise requested in such notice of exercise were
effected in full, whereupon, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in the Statement of Rights and Preferences, the Purchaser shall revoke such
conversion or exercise to the extent that it determines that such conversion or
exercise would result in the Purchaser owning in excess of 4.9% of such
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Section 4.14. AVAILABILITY OF COMMON STOCK. The Company has
reserved 1,820,588 shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock at all times
to provide for converting all of the Shares and exercising all of the Warrants.

at the option of the holders of Preferred Stock, shall redeem all Shares and
Underlying Shares then held by such holders, pursuant to SECTION 4.16 hereto.
Section 4.15. LISTING OF UNDERLYING SHARES AND WARRANT SHARES.
Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have filed an additional listing
application with the Nasdaq National Market (and each other national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) for the listing of the
Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company shall, as promptly as
possible, take all steps necessary to cause the Underlying Shares and Warrant
Shares to be approved for listing in the Nasdaq National Market (and each other
national securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then
listed), and shall provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing when
approved and shall maintain the listing of its Common Stock on such exchange.
E-37
22
Section 4.16. PURCHASER'S RIGHTS IF TRADING IN COMMON STOCK IS
SUSPENDED OR DELISTED. In the event that at any time within the three-year
period after the Closing Date trading in the shares of the Common Stock is
suspended, or if the Common Stock shall not listed for trading, on the Nasdaq
National Market (other than as a result of the suspension of trading in
securities on such market or exchange generally or temporary suspensions pending
the release of material information and other than a suspension of trading on
the Nasdaq National Market if the Common Stock is listed for trading, and not
suspended, on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market within one Business Day after such
suspension) for more than ten days, at the Purchaser's option exercisable by
written notice to the Company, the Company shall redeem all Shares and all
Underlying Shares then held by such Purchaser, at an aggregate purchase price
equal to (A) the product of the average Per Share Market Value for the five
Trading Days immediately preceding the day of such notice multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Shares to be purchased are then
convertible and exercisable (or in the case of Underlying Shares, the number of
Underlying Shares to be purchased), plus (B) interest on such amount accruing
from the 7th day after such notice at the rate of 15% per annum.
Section 4.17. NO VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any redemption of Shares or
Underlying Shares otherwise required under the Transaction Documents or the
Statement of Rights and Preferences would be prohibited by the relevant
provisions of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, such redemption shall
be effected as soon as it is permitted under such law; PROVIDED, however, that,
interest payable by the Company with respect to any such redemption shall
continue to accrue in accordance with Section 4.16 during any such period.
Section 4.18. REDEMPTION RESTRICTIONS. Notwith standing any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any redemption of Shares or
Underlying Shares otherwise required under this Agreement would be prohibited in
the absence of consent from any lender of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or
by the holders of any class of securities of the Company, the Company shall use
its best efforts to obtain such consent as promptly as practicable after the
redemption is required. Interest payable by the Company with respect to any such
redemption shall continue to accrue in accordance with Section 4.16 until such
consent is obtained. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as a
waiver by the Purchaser of any rights it may have by virtue of any breach of any
representation
E-38
23
or warranty of the Company herein as to the absence of any requirement to obtain
any such consent.
Section 4.19. NOTICE OF BREACHES. Each of the Company and the
Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to the other of any breach of any
representation, warranty or other agreement contained in the Transaction
Documents, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date hereof
and prior to the Closing Date, which could reasonably be likely to cause any
representation or warranty or other agreement of such party, as the case may be,
contained herein or therein to be incorrect or breached as of such Closing Date.
However, no disclosure by either party pursuant to this Section shall be deemed
to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained
herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Neither the Company, any
Subsidiary nor the Purchaser will take, or agree to commit to take, any action
that is intended to make any representation or warranty of the Company or the
Purchaser, as the case may be, contained herein or in the other Transaction
Documents or in the Statement of Rights and Preferences inaccurate in any
respect at the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall
promptly notify the Purchaser of any notice or claim (written or oral) that it
receives from any lender of the Company to the effect that the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents violates or would
violate any written agreement or understanding between such lender and the
Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish by facsimile to the holders of
the Shares and Warrants a copy of any written statement in support of or
relating to such claim or notice.
Section 4.20. CONVERSION PROCEDURES. EXHIBIT D attached hereto
sets forth the procedures with respect to the conversion of the Shares,
including the forms of conversion notice to be provided upon conversion,
instructions as to the procedures for conversion, the form of legal opinion, if
necessary, that shall be rendered to the Company's transfer agent and such other
information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
Purchaser to exercise its right of conversion smoothly and expeditiously.
Section 4.21. THE WARRANTS. At the Closing, the Company will
issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Common Stock as
follows: (i) to the Purchaser three Common Stock purchase warrants, each in the
form of EXHIBIT E(1)
E-39
24
(the "SOUTHBROOK WARRANTS"), pursuant to which Purchaser shall have the right at
any time thereafter through the Expiration Date (as such term is defined in each
of the Southbrook Warrants) thereof, to acquire an aggregate of 262,500 shares
of Common Stock at the Exercise Price (as such term is defined in each of the
Southbrook Warrants) per share, and (ii) to Brown Simpson three Common Stock
purchase warrants, each in the form of EXHIBIT E(2) (the "BROWN SIMPSON
WARRANTS"), pursuant to which Brown Simpson shall have the right at any time
thereafter through the Expiration Date (as such term is defined in each of the
Brown Simpson Warrants) thereof, to acquire an aggregate of 87,500 shares of
Common Stock at the Exercise Price (as such term is defined in each of the Brown
Simpson Warrants) per share. The Brown Simpson Warrants represent a portion of
the aggregate warrants which will be issued to the Purchaser as contemplated
hereby and will be assigned and transferred simultaneously with the Closing by
the Purchaser to Brown Simpson. The Southbrook Warrants and the Brown Simpson
Warrants are collectively known as the "WARRANTS."

obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
