Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, unaudited)
1. On June 27, 1997, DeltaPoint, Inc. (the "Company") completed the
sale of its DeltaGraph product line to SPSS, Inc. ("SPSS") and will
receive an aggregate $1,300,000 in cash. Of the $1,300,000,
$910,000 is attributable to the sale of the DeltaGraph product line and
$400,000 is attributable to services to be rendered by the Company
pursuant to an interim management agreement (the "Management Agreement")
between the Company and SPSS.
The sale was completed on June 27, 1997 with an effective date of May 1,
1997. The Company received $910,000 on June 30, 1997 pursuant to the
sale. In addition, the Company will receive an additional $400,000 upon
completion of the Company's obligations under the Management Agreement
(currently expected to be paid in August 1997). The Company will defer
recognition of the $400,000 of revenue until completion of all
obligations to SPSS.
2. The pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the effects of the sale
of the DeltaGraph product line as if it had been consummated on
March 31, 1997:
a. Increase in Cash
Total amount due from SPSS $1,310
Receivable under Management Agreement (400)
--------
Net increase in cash $ 910

b. Decrease in Accumulated Deficit
Total amount due from SPSS $1,310
Net book value of inventory sold (51)
Deferred management revenue (400)
Transaction expenses (i) (100)
--------
Decrease in accumulated deficit $ 759
--------
--------
(i)Transaction expenses consist primarily of fees to the Company's
financial advisors and certain legal and accounting fees.
3. May 1, 1997 effective date of the sale of the DeltaGraph product line,
the Company will no longer have revenues relating to the DeltaGraph
product line. The pro forma condensed statement of operations has been
adjusted to eliminate the net revenues, cost of revenues and operating
expenses which the Company believes (i) are directly attributable to the
DeltaGraph product line and (ii) will not continue after the completion
of the sale of the DeltaGraph product line.
<PAGE>
4. Since the pro forma adjustments described above increase the Company's
pre-tax loss, there is no affect on U.S. income tax expense.
5. The pro forma condensed statement of operations has been prepared for
continuing operations and, therefore, does not give effect to the one
time gain from the sale of the DeltaGraph product line or the revenue
related to the Management Agreement.

use primarily by or for the DeltaGraph business, it is understood that such
purchase shall be effected pursuant to a separate agreement with separate
consideration agreed in respect thereof as the parties may agree.
1.2 TIME AND PLACE OF CLOSING. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the
"Closing") shall take place at the offices of Ross & Hardies, 150 N. Michigan
Avenue, Chicago, Illinois at 9:00 a.m. on June 27, 1997 (the "Closing Date") or
at such other place or time as the parties may agree and, for all purposes,
shall be deemed to be effective as of May 1, 1997.
1.3 PURCHASE PRICE; ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT. At the Closing, as
consideration for the sale and transfer of the Assets to SPSS, SPSS shall pay
DeltaPoint Nine Hundred Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($910,000.00) (the
"Purchase Price") by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by DeltaPoint by written notice to SPSS given not less than three
business days prior to the Closing Date.
1.3.1 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. SPSS and DeltaPoint agree
that the Purchase Price shall be allocated after the Closing Date in a manner
mutually acceptable to the parties. SPSS and DeltaPoint agree that such
valuation and allocation to be agreed upon post-closing will be determined in
good faith by arm's length negotiation and in the judgment of the parties will
properly reflect the fair market value of the Assets and the consideration
therefor transferred pursuant to this Agreement. SPSS and DeltaPoint hereby
agree to report the purchase and sale of the Assets for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), on a timely basis, in accordance with such allocation and
to give the other prompt written notice of any assertion or claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that the Purchase Price allocated to any of the Assets
in accordance herewith is incorrect or is otherwise unacceptable for federal
income tax purposes. SPSS and DeltaPoint shall also file on a timely basis any
amendments to such report required to be filed as a result of any adjustment in
the Purchase Price allocation.
<PAGE>
1.3.2 ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT. (a) In addition, within 20
days after the Closing Date, and provided that the Qualified Cost of Goods Sold
(defined below) in respect of DeltaGraph software products sold during the
period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Closing Date is
greater than the Cash Collections (defined below) due SPSS, as contemplated by
SECTION 1.1(a)(viii) hereof, SPSS shall pay to DeltaPoint (in the same manner as
provided in SECTION 1.3) an amount equal to the Qualified Cost of Goods Sold in
respect of DeltaGraph software products sold during the period commencing on the
Effective Date and ending on the Closing Date LESS the amount of any cash
collections (including the amount of any sales tax and shipping and handling
actually collected) actually received by DeltaPoint in respect of such sales for
such period as contemplated by SECTION 1.1(a)(viii) hereof (the "Cash
Collections"). If, however, the Cash Collections exceed the Qualified Cost of
Goods Sold for such period, DeltaPoint shall, within 20 days of the Closing
Date, pay to SPSS (in the same manner as provided in SECTION 1.3) an amount
equal to the Cash Collections LESS the Qualified Cost of Goods Sold in respect
of DeltaGraph software products sold during the period commencing on the
Effective Date and ending on the Closing Date. "Qualified Cost of Goods Sold"
means, in respect of any DeltaGraph software product sales, the related cost of
goods sold consisting of direct materials, shipping and handling charges,
contract manufacturing costs to convert raw materials into finished products,
and royalties, as determined in accordance with DeltaPoint's past practices PLUS
(i) the amount of the related sales tax and shipping and handling and (ii) the
related marketing and other expenditures as may be reasonably agreed upon by
SPSS and DeltaPoint.
(b) On the date which is 15 days after the Closing Date, DeltaPoint
shall deliver to SPSS a good faith calculation setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount of the additional cash payment to be made pursuant to SECTION
1.3.2(a). In the event that SPSS shall in good faith dispute the amount of such
payment, SPSS shall pay to DeltaPoint (or DeltaPoint shall pay to SPSS, as the
case may be) that portion of payment with respect to which there is no dispute
and the parties agree that the payments to be made under the Management
Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect the resolution of such dispute.
1.4 ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS. SPSS agrees that,
effective upon the Closing, it shall assume only the liabilities and obligations
of DeltaPoint related to Assets described on SCHEDULE 1.4 attached hereto;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in no event shall SPSS assume liabilities or obligations
relating to royalties or other payments due and owing thereunder prior to the
Closing Date or material obligations or liabilities not disclosed to SPSS
(collectively, the "Assumed Liabilities"), and SPSS shall have no other duty or
obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that SPSS shall not be liable
for Excluded Liabilities.
Unless specifically stated to the contrary, this Agreement shall not
constitute an agreement or an attempted agreement to transfer, sublease or
assign any Assumed Liability or any claim or right arising thereunder or
resulting therefrom if any such attempted transfer, sublease or assignment,
without the consent of any other party thereto, would constitute a
<PAGE>
breach of such Assumed Liability or in any way affect the rights of SPSS
thereunder. DeltaPoint shall, between the date hereof and the Closing and, if
requested by SPSS, after the Closing, use all reasonable efforts to obtain the
consent of any such party to the transfer, sublease or assignment thereof by
DeltaPoint to SPSS hereunder in all cases in which such consent is required for
transfer, sublease or assignment. If any such consent is not obtained, or if
any attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights
of DeltaPoint thereunder such that SPSS would not in fact receive all rights
related to an Assumed Liability, DeltaPoint shall, with the reasonable
assistance of SPSS, at DeltaPoint's expense, perform such Assumed Liability for
the account of SPSS or otherwise cooperate with SPSS at DeltaPoint's expense in
any arrangement necessary or desirable to provide for SPSS the benefits under
any such Assumed Liability, including, without limitation, enforcement for the
benefit of SPSS of any and all rights of DeltaPoint against the other party
thereto arising out of the breach, termination or cancellation of such Assumed
Liability by such other party or otherwise. With respect to those Assumed
Liabilities that are license agreements as to which licensee consent is required
for DeltaPoint to assign such license agreements to SPSS, (i) SPSS shall and
hereby does grant DeltaPoint such licenses as DeltaPoint requires to be in
compliance with such license agreements and (ii) DeltaPoint and SPSS shall enter
into good faith negotiations with such licensee for the assignment of such
license agreement to SPSS.
1.5 LIABILITIES NOT ASSUMED. Pursuant to Article X, DeltaPoint shall
indemnify, defend and hold SPSS harmless from all Excluded Liabilities and
DeltaPoint's legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, and all claims, suits, actions, losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising therefrom or from any failure by DeltaPoint to pay or
discharge such liabilities and obligations as and when they become due.
1.6 TAXES. SPSS shall not be responsible for, or suffer a reduction
in assets to be received by it for, any income (of DeltaPoint), California
sales, use, California excise or other taxes of any kind or arising from this
purchase on the Closing Date other than those listed on SCHEDULE 1.4, which SPSS
is expressly assuming pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE II

California and has the corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, to own or lease
the Assets which it presently owns or leases and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. DeltaPoint is duly licensed or qualified to do business as
a foreign corporation, and is in good standing in every foreign jurisdiction in
<PAGE>
which it is required to be so licensed or qualified, except to the extent where

by this Agreement. DeltaPoint has no subsidiaries or other entities controlled
by or under common control with DeltaPoint.
2.2 AUTHORITY. DeltaPoint has full power, capacity and authority
(corporate or otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of
the Board of Directors of DeltaPoint, and no other proceedings (corporate or
otherwise) on the part of either DeltaPoint or its shareholders are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
This Agreement and the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement have been
duly and validly executed and delivered by DeltaPoint, and each constitutes a
legal, valid and binding agreement of DeltaPoint, enforceable against DeltaPoint
in accordance with their respective terms, except as their obligations
thereunder may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).
2.3 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.3
hereto, there is no authorization, consent, order or approval of, or notice to
or filing with, any individual or entity required to be obtained or given in
order for DeltaPoint to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
fully perform its obligations hereunder.
2.4 ABSENCE OF CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance by
DeltaPoint of this Agreement and the consummation by DeltaPoint of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice
or lapse of time or both, (i) violate any provision of law, statute, rule or
regulation to which DeltaPoint is subject, (ii) violate any order, judgment or
decree applicable to DeltaPoint, (iii) conflict with or result in a breach or
default under any term or condition of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws
of DeltaPoint, or any material agreement or other instrument to which DeltaPoint
is a party or by which it is bound, or to which any of the Assets are subject,
(iv) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, pledge, claim, security
interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on the Assets, or (v) cause, or
give any person contractual grounds to cause, the maturity of the Assumed
Liabilities to be accelerated.
2.5 FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. DeltaPoint has
previously delivered to SPSS the financial information set forth on SCHEDULE
2.5, which includes all available information with respect to DeltaGraph's
revenue, inventory, receivables, product line profit and loss (except for
allocated overhead items and other items set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5(a)), sales
return reserves and product line budget (except for allocated overhead items and
other items set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5(a)). Such financial information is
accurate and in accordance with the books and records of DeltaPoint.
<PAGE>
SCHEDULE 2.5 contains a correct and complete list of the sales and
related collections of accounts receivable of DeltaPoint relating to the Assets
beginning the Effective Date through the date stated thereon, which is the most
recent practicable date. There have been no changes in such accounts receivable
except as may have occurred in the ordinary course of business since such date.
Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5, all such accounts receivable are valid,
genuine and subsisting; DeltaPoint has not been notified in writing that any
account receivable debtor is contesting or setting off against any such accounts
receivable; and all such accounts receivable are collectible, except for a
reasonable allowance for uncollectible accounts not exceeding $5,000.00.
Except as described on SCHEDULE 2.5, DeltaPoint is not in default in
respect of any term or condition of any indebtedness or liability relating to
the Assets.
2.6 ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except for Excluded Assets
and Assumed Liabilities and other liabilities incurred by DeltaPoint in the
ordinary course consistent with past practice (which liabilities are not being
assumed by SPSS hereunder), to the best of DeltaPoint's knowledge, DeltaPoint
does not have any liabilities or obligations relating to the Assets, whether
accrued, absolute or contingent, determined or undetermined, or whether due or
to become due (including, without limitation, obligations as guarantor).
DeltaPoint knows of no reasonable basis for the assertion of any claim or
liability relating to the Assets or DeltaPoint's business relating thereto, and
is not aware of any occurrence or fact that has or might have an adverse effect
upon the Assets.
2.7 CURRENT LIABILITIES/RECEIVABLES. The accounts and trade payables
and accounts receivable of DeltaPoint with respect to the Assets as of April 30,
1997, and those incurred between April 30, 1997 and the Closing Date, were
incurred or realized in the ordinary course of business and, with respect to
accounts and trade payables, were and are in amounts consistent in all material
respects with historical levels of accounts and trade payables of DeltaPoint
with respect to the Assets. There has been no material adverse change in the
amount or nature of DeltaPoint's accounts receivable relating to the Assets
since April 30, 1997.
2.8 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS. Except as set forth on
SCHEDULE 2.8, since April 30, 1997, there has not been (a) any material damage,
destruction or casualty loss to the Assets (whether covered by insurance or not)
outside the ordinary course of business; (b) any entry into any transaction,
commitment or agreement (including, without limitation, any borrowing) material
to the Assets, or relating to the Assets and outside the ordinary course of
business of DeltaPoint; (c) any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Assets to any party, except for payment of obligations incurred, and sale of
products, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices;

COVENANTS OF DELTAPOINT
DeltaPoint covenants as follows:
4.1 TAX MATTERS. Subject to SECTION 4.8, DeltaPoint will timely
pay or satisfy all liabilities under any federal, state, local or foreign
income, sales, use and other taxes that may be due as a result of the sale of
the Assets hereunder or which otherwise relate to the Assets for any period of
time prior to the Closing Date.
4.2 POST-CLOSING ACCESS TO INFORMATION. For a period of seven
years after the Closing, DeltaPoint shall not dispose of any books, records,
documents or information relating in whole or part to the Assets or otherwise to
the DeltaGraph business of DeltaPoint without first giving notice to SPSS and
permitting SPSS to copy, at its own expense, those portions of such books and
records which relate to the Assets or otherwise to the DeltaGraph business as
SPSS may reasonably select. During such seven-year period, DeltaPoint shall
permit SPSS to examine and make copies, at SPSS's expense, of such books,
records, documents or information for any reasonable purpose, including but not
limited to any litigation commenced against SPSS or any affiliate of SPSS or the
preparation of income or other tax returns or in connection with any
administrative or regulatory proceedings or actions. In addition, DeltaPoint
shall make available to SPSS, on a reasonable basis and as requested from time
to time by SPSS, itself and those employees of DeltaPoint with knowledge of or
knowledge relevant to the above-described matters for the purpose of reasonable
consultation and/or testimony in connection therewith, such services to be
performed without additional compensation from SPSS, except for reimbursement of
reasonable out-of-pocket travel or related expenses.
4.3 RIGHT OF ENDORSEMENT. Upon the Closing and thereafter, SPSS
shall have the right and authority to endorse, without recourse, the name of
DeltaPoint on any check or any other evidence of indebtedness received by SPSS
and to which it is entitled on account of any receivable or other Asset
transferred by DeltaPoint pursuant hereto, and DeltaPoint shall deliver to SPSS
at the Closing documents sufficient to permit SPSS to deposit such checks or
other evidences of indebtedness in bank accounts in the name of SPSS.
4.4 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. After the Closing, DeltaPoint shall
promptly remit to SPSS all the proceeds of any checks and other payments for
accounts receivable belonging to SPSS under this Agreement and coming into the
possession of DeltaPoint. DeltaPoint shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to assist SPSS in the collection of DeltaPoint's unpaid accounts receivable
acquired pursuant to this Agreement and relating solely to its DeltaGraph
business prior to the Closing, and DeltaPoint shall employ telephone calls and
follow-up efforts to collect such accounts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that DeltaPoint
shall not be liable for the failure of SPSS to collect any such accounts
receivable after the Effective Date other than pursuant to a breach or violation
by DeltaPoint of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein
or its obligations under that certain Interim Management Agreement dated of even
date herewith between the parties hereto. DeltaPoint
<PAGE>
shall maintain written records with respect to collection of such accounts and
SPSS shall be entitled to review such records and all information in
DeltaPoint's possession respecting such accounts at reasonable intervals and
during DeltaPoint's normal business hours. DeltaPoint shall also establish
appropriate procedures by which payments received by DeltaPoint on accounts
receivables can be identified as for the account of SPSS or for the account of
DeltaPoint. For any payments received by DeltaPoint on accounts receivable due
and owing from a joint customer of SPSS and DeltaPoint, DeltaPoint shall treat
such payments as being made for the account of, and belonging to, SPSS, if such
payment is identified with a SPSS invoice. If such payment is either not
identified with a SPSS invoice or if the payment is identified with a DeltaPoint
invoice, such payment shall remain the property of DeltaPoint.
4.5 FURTHER ASSURANCES. After the Closing, DeltaPoint shall from
time to time, at the request of SPSS and without further cost or expense to
SPSS, execute and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as
shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate fully the

is depleted) and its existing legal documentation, as permitted hereunder. It
is understood that DeltaPoint can continue to use the name "DeltaPoint."
4.7 CONSENTS. DeltaPoint will use all reasonable efforts to
obtain the express written consent of all third parties necessary to assign any
Contracts included in the Assets. If any third party withholds consent or
DeltaPoint receives royalties or payments on account of such Contracts after
Closing, DeltaPoint will hold all such amounts in trust for SPSS and promptly
pay same to SPSS. DeltaPoint will indemnify and hold SPSS harmless from and
against any loss suffered by SPSS as a result of DeltaPoint's failure to obtain
any necessary consent to the assignment of such Contracts.

documentation constituting a portion of the Assets. DeltaPoint understands that
in the course of its dealings with SPSS, SPSS and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates may provide DeltaPoint with, or access to, its software (including,
<PAGE>
without limitation, source listings therefor), as well as confidential and/or
proprietary prospect and customer lists, data, research, specifications,
memoranda, files, records, plans, concepts, flow charts, drawings, designs,
descriptions, formulations, trade secrets and other confidential and/or
proprietary information and property, including but not limited to, information
regarding SPSS operations, businesses, affairs, management and market structure
(all of the foregoing collectively referred to as the "Confidential Property").
Confidential Property shall not, however, include any information which (i) was
publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the
time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made
generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party to the receiving
party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (iii) is already in
the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the
disclosing party as shown by the receiving party's files and records immediately
prior to the time of disclosures; (iv) is obtained by the receiving party from a
third party without a breach of such third party's obligations of
confidentiality; (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without
use of or reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Property, as shown by
documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party's possession; or
(vi) is required by law to be disclosed by the receiving party, PROVIDED THAT
the receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such
requirement prior to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order
protecting the information from public disclosure.
4.9.2 DeltaPoint will regard and preserve as confidential and
as trade secrets all of the Confidential Property. Except as may be required by
law, any governmental agency or under the Exchange Act, DeltaPoint will not,
directly or indirectly, communicate or divulge to, or use for the benefit of
itself or any other person, firm, association or corporation, without the prior
written consent of SPSS, any Confidential Property. The Confidential Property
shall remain the sole and exclusive property of SPSS, and upon request by SPSS
for any reason whatsoever, DeltaPoint shall promptly return any and all
Confidential Property in its possession or control to SPSS.
4.9.3 DeltaPoint shall have no right, title or interest of
any kind or nature in any of the Confidential Property or any proceeds
therefrom.
4.9.4 DeltaPoint hereby further covenants and agrees that
during the Non-Compete Period (as hereinafter defined) DeltaPoint will not (a)
directly or indirectly (whether through a partnership of which DeltaPoint is a
partner or through any other individual or entity in which DeltaPoint has any
interest, legal or equitable, or otherwise), engage in any business competitive
with the business of SPSS or the statistical charting and graphing software
business being acquired by SPSS pursuant to this Agreement as in existence or
under development on the Closing Date (the "DeltaGraph Business"), (b) directly
or indirectly (whether through a partnership of which DeltaPoint is a partner or
through any other individual or entity in which DeltaPoint has any interest,
legal or equitable, or otherwise) solicit or otherwise be involved with any
customers or clients of SPSS or the DeltaGraph Business existing on the date of
acquisition of the DeltaGraph Business by SPSS in any transactions which are in
competition with the statistical software business of SPSS or the
<PAGE>
DeltaGraph Business at any time during the Non-Compete Period, or (c) directly
or indirectly (whether through a partnership of which DeltaPoint is a partner or
through any other individual or entity in which DeltaPoint has any interest,
legal or equitable, or otherwise), assist any person in the development,
programming, servicing, maintenance, manufacture, sale, licensing, distribution
or marketing (including, without limitation, giving away software) of
statistical software and related products in competition with products of the
DeltaGraph Business, SPSS or any of its affiliates, in each case in the United
States of America or any other country in which SPSS or any of its affiliates is
doing business, in each case excluding passive investment interests of less than
five percent (5%) in corporations whose stock is publicly traded and registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, DeltaPoint shall be deemed not to be in violation of the foregoing
provisions if (i) DeltaPoint acquires a business that is primarily engaged in a
business other than one which competes with the statistical software business of
SPSS or the DeltaGraph business and (ii) DeltaPoint promptly commences efforts
to sell or otherwise dispose of such competing business.
As used herein, the term "Non-Compete Period" shall mean a period of
three (3) years after the Closing Date.
4.9.5 During the Non-Compete Period, DeltaPoint will not
directly knowingly employ, solicit for employment, or advise or recommend to any
other person that they employ or solicit for employment, any employee of SPSS.
DeltaPoint further agrees that the limitations set forth herein
(including, without limitation, any time or territorial limitations) are
reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the DeltaGraph
Business and the business of SPSS (and its affiliates). In the event any such
territorial or time limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, DeltaPoint agrees to the reduction of the territorial or
time limitation to the area or period which such court shall have deemed
reasonable. It is understood and agreed that the covenants made by DeltaPoint
herein relating to confidentiality shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, and that the covenants made by DeltaPoint herein relating to
non-competition shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.
4.10 EQUITABLE RELIEF. DeltaPoint understands that a breach by it
of any provision of this Agreement may cause substantial injury to SPSS which
may be irreparable and/or in amounts difficult or impossible to ascertain, and
that in the event DeltaPoint breaches any provision of this Agreement, SPSS
shall have, in addition to all other remedies available in the event of a breach
of this Agreement, the right to injunctive or other equitable relief. Further,
DeltaPoint acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions and commitments set
forth in this Agreement are necessary to protect the legitimate interests of
SPSS and are reasonable in scope, area and time, and that if, despite this
acknowledgment and agreement, at the time of the enforcement of any provision of
this Agreement a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the period or
scope of such provision is unreasonable under the circumstances then existing,
the maximum reasonable period or scope under such
<PAGE>
circumstances shall be substituted for the period or scope stated in such
provision.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party
in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of two years,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party, except for
the representations and warranties contained in SECTION 2.30, which shall
survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties contained in
SECTIONS 2.10, 2.12 and 2.24, or a representation or warranty which shall prove
to be untrue due to the fraud of DeltaPoint, which in each case shall survive
until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to
the subject matter thereof. All covenants contained herein shall survive until
performed fully.
10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY DELTAPOINT. DeltaPoint agrees to indemnify
and hold SPSS and its affiliates and the respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively,
the "Representatives") harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses,
losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities and obligations whenever
arising or incurred (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement,
costs of investigation and attorneys' fees and expenses) (individually, a
"Loss," and collectively, "Losses") arising out of or relating to (i) any breach
of any representation or warranty set forth herein or in any related schedule,
or set forth in any closing certificate or other document entered into or
delivered in connection with this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or
obligation of DeltaPoint contained in this Agreement, or set forth in any
closing certificate or other document entered into or delivered in connection
with this Agreement; (iii) any liabilities under any applicable bulk sales or
transfer law; (iv) any fraudulent representation or intentional
misrepresentation on the part of DeltaPoint; (v) any intentional or fraudulent
breach by DeltaPoint of any warranty, representation, agreement, covenant or

indemnify SPSS in respect of any Loss unless and until the aggregate amount of
all Losses in respect of which DeltaPoint shall be obligated to indemnify SPSS
shall exceed $35,000, in which event DeltaPoint shall be obligated to indemnify
SPSS for the aggregate amount of all such Losses; provided, however, that
DeltaPoint's obligation to so indemnify SPSS for such Losses shall be reduced by
the present value of any net tax benefits actually received by SPSS in
connection with such Loss (less all costs and expenses incurred by SPSS in
connection with receiving such net tax benefits) and any insurance proceeds
actually received by SPSS in connection with such Loss (less deductibles,
premiums paid by SPSS and all costs and expenses actually incurred by SPSS in
collecting such insurance proceeds).
<PAGE>
10.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. (a) An indemnified party under
SECTION 10.2 of this Agreement shall give prompt written notice to DeltaPoint
(when and to the extent that the indemnified party has actual knowledge thereof)
of any condition, event or occurrence or the commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding for which indemnification may be sought, and DeltaPoint, through
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, shall assume the
defense thereof or other indemnification obligation with respect thereto;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any indemnified party shall be entitled to participate
in any such action, suit or proceeding with counsel of its own choice but at its
own expense; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any indemnified party shall be entitled
to participate in any such action, suit or proceeding with counsel of its own
choice at the expense of DeltaPoint, if, under applicable canons of ethics,
joint representation of DeltaPoint and SPSS presents a conflict of interest. In
any event, if DeltaPoint fails to assume the defense within a reasonable time,
the indemnified party may assume such defense or other indemnification
obligation and the reasonable fees and expenses of its attorneys will be covered
by the indemnity provided for hereunder. No action, suit or proceeding for
which indemnification may be sought shall be compromised or settled in any
manner which might adversely affect the interests of DeltaPoint without the
prior written consent of DeltaPoint (which shall not be unreasonably withheld);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that SPSS may settle any claim or cause of action without
DeltaPoint's consent, but in such case DeltaPoint shall not be required to
reimburse SPSS for its Losses except and to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines on appeal that DeltaPoint must indemnify SPSS
therefor. Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 10.3 to the contrary,
DeltaPoint shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, (i) settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding or consent to the
entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a written
release from all liability in respect of such action, suit or proceeding or (ii)
settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that may
materially and adversely affect the indemnified party other than as a result of
money damages or other money payments. DeltaPoint shall pay all expenses,
including attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any indemnified party in
enforcing the indemnity provided for hereunder.
10.4 INDEMNIFICATION BY SPSS. From and after the Closing Date,
SPSS agrees to indemnify and hold DeltaPoint and its affiliates and the
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of each of
the foregoing harmless from and against any and all Losses relating to (i) any
misrepresentations, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant or
agreement on the part of SPSS contained in this Agreement, including any
Exhibits and Schedules thereto and (ii) SPSS's actions or omissions from and
after the Closing Date with respect to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities
and SPSS's obligations under the Management Agreement.
10.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. (a) An indemnified party under
SECTION 10.4 of this Agreement shall give prompt written notice to SPSS (when
and to the extent that the indemnified party has actual knowledge thereof) of
any condition, event or occurrence or the commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding for which indemnification may be sought,
<PAGE>
and SPSS, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party,
shall assume the defense thereof or other indemnification obligation with
respect thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any indemnified party shall be entitled
to participate in any such action, suit or proceeding with counsel of its own
choice but at its own expense; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any indemnified party
shall be entitled to participate in any such action, suit or proceeding with
counsel of its own choice at the expense of SPSS, if, under applicable canons of
ethics, joint representation of DeltaPoint and SPSS presents a conflict of
interest. In any event, if SPSS fails to assume the defense within a reasonable
time, the indemnified party may assume such defense or other indemnification
obligation and the reasonable fees and expenses of its attorneys will be covered
by the indemnity provided for in SECTION 10.4. No action, suit or proceeding
for which indemnification may be sought shall be compromised or settled in any
manner which might adversely affect the interests of SPSS without the prior
written consent of SPSS (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that DeltaPoint may settle any claim or cause of action without SPSS's
consent, but in such case SPSS shall not be required to reimburse DeltaPoint for
its Losses except and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
finally determines on appeal that SPSS must indemnify DeltaPoint therefor.
Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 10.5 to the contrary, SPSS shall not,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, (i) settle or
compromise any action, suit or proceeding or consent to the entry of any
judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by
the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a written release from all
liability in respect of such action, suit or proceeding or (ii) settle or
compromise any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that may materially and
adversely affect the indemnified party other than as a result of money damages
or other money payments. SPSS shall pay all expenses, including attorneys'
fees, that may be incurred by any indemnified party in enforcing the indemnity
provided for in SECTION 10.4.
10.6 ARBITRATION. Any dispute as to any claims under this
Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in the City of San Francisco,
California, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be conducted promptly and
expeditiously so as to enable the arbitrators to render an award within 90 days
of the commencement of the arbitration proceedings. Judgment upon any award
rendered in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.6 may be
entered, and any agreement arising out of negotiations or mediation may be
enforced, in any court having jurisdiction thereof. DeltaPoint and SPSS shall
bear (a) with respect to negotiations, their own expenses, (b) with respect to
mediation, an equal share of the expenses and (c) with respect to arbitration,
shall jointly and equally share the expenses of the arbitrator and the
arbitration.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
This Interim Management Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated June ,
1997, is made and entered into by and between DeltaPoint, Inc., a California
corporation ("DeltaPoint"), and SPSS Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SPSS").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, SPSS and DeltaPoint are entering into an Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997, (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to
which SPSS is acquiring certain assets related to the DeltaGraph product line
(the "Assets") and the business associated with the Assets (the "Business") from
DeltaPoint as more fully described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, with
capitalized terms used but not defined herein having the meanings assigned
thereto in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, SPSS desires that DeltaPoint continue to manage the Business
through July 31, 1997 after the acquisition of the Assets and the Business from
DeltaPoint by SPSS;
WHEREAS, DeltaPoint is willing to continue to manage the Business
through July 31, 1997;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. EFFECTIVENESS; TERM. This Agreement shall become effective and
the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date first written above and
shall terminate on July 31, 1997 (the "Term"), unless otherwise extended by the
written agreement of the parties hereto.
2. SERVICES. After the acquisition of the Assets and the Business
from DeltaPoint by SPSS, DeltaPoint agrees to continue to manage the Business
for the Term with the same degree of quality and care as it used prior to the
transfer of the Assets and Business. The management services provided by
DeltaPoint shall consist of product fulfillment and distribution, sales,
promotions, invoicing collections and technical support relating to the Assets
and the Business, and the transfer to SPSS of knowledge and code related to the
Assets and the Business. DeltaPoint agrees that the Assets will be used solely
for the purposes provided under this Agreement. It is understood that
DeltaPoint will have no obligation for the further development of the Assets or
the Business.
<PAGE>
3. TITLE. The Assets shall at all times remain the property of
SPSS; DeltaPoint shall keep the Assets free and clear of any and all liens,
charges and encumbrances, except for liens for taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges that are not yet due and payable; and except as set forth
herein, DeltaPoint shall have no right, title or interest therein.
4. PROFITS. Subject to Section 7.1, from and after the date of this
Agreement, SPSS shall be entitled to all profits, revenues and income derived
from the operation of the Business.
5. COMPENSATION. On or before August 10, 1997, SPSS will pay
DeltaPoint Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) in cash as a
fee for DeltaPoint's services provided under this Agreement, adjusted (increased
or decreased) to reflect payments to be made or received by SPSS in accordance
with Section 7 hereof.
6. ALTERATIONS. DeltaPoint shall not make any alterations,
additions, or improvements to the Assets or the Business without the prior
written consent of SPSS. All alterations, additions and improvements to the
Assets and the Business shall become the property of SPSS.
7. OBLIGATIONS.
7.1. Within five (5) days after receiving the calculation
referenced in Section 7.2 below, and provided that the Qualified Cost of
Goods Sold (defined below) in respect of DeltaGraph software products sold
during the Term, is greater than the Cash Collections (defined below) due
SPSS, SPSS shall pay to DeltaPoint an amount equal to the Qualified Cost of
Goods Sold in respect of DeltaGraph software products sold during the Term
LESS the amount of any cash collections (including the amount of any sales
tax and shipping and handling actually collected) actually received by
DeltaPoint in respect of such sales during the Term and collection by
DeltaPoint of accounts receivable belonging to SPSS arising during the
period from May 1, 1997 to the date of this Agreement as contemplated by
Section 1.1(a)(viii) of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Section 4 hereof
(the "Cash Collections"). If, however, the Cash Collections exceed the
Qualified Cost of Goods Sold for such period, DeltaPoint shall, within five
(5) days after the calculation referenced in Section 7.2 is made, pay to
SPSS an amount equal to the Cash Collections less Qualified Cost of Goods
Sold in respect of DeltaGraph software products sold during the Term.
"Qualified Cost of Goods Sold" means, in respect of any DeltaGraph software
product sales, the related cost of goods sold consisting of direct
materials, contract manufacturing costs to convert raw materials into
finished products, and royalties, adjusted to exclude that portion of the
cost of goods sold relating to inventory belonging to SPSS, as determined
in accordance with DeltaPoint's past practices PLUS (i) the amount of the
related sales tax and shipping and handling and (ii) the related marketing
and other expenditures as may be reasonably agreed upon by SPSS and
DeltaPoint. The parties hereof agree that payments made in accordance with
this Section may be made by
<PAGE>
adjusting the payment to be made by SPSS hereunder in accordance with
Section 5 hereof.
7.2. On or before August 5, 1997, DeltaPoint shall deliver to
SPSS a good faith calculation setting forth in reasonable detail the amount
of the additional cash payment to be made pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.
In the event that SPSS shall in good faith dispute the amount of such
payment, SPSS shall pay to DeltaPoint (or DeltaPoint shall pay to SPSS, as
the case may be) that portion of payment with respect to which there is no
dispute and the parties agree that the payments to be made hereunder shall
be adjusted to reflect the resolution of such dispute. Any controversy or
dispute relating to the determination of amounts due under this Section 7
and related accounting issues shall be resolved by agreement of a partner
from a "Big 6" accounting firm (other than the auditors of DeltaPoint and
SPSS), which accounting firm shall be chosen by the auditors of DeltaPoint
and SPSS.
7.3. DeltaPoint shall have only employees of substantially the
same training, competence and qualification as those previously employed by
DeltaPoint utilize the Assets and operate the Business.
8. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. DeltaPoint shall remain aware of and fully
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
now in force or which may hereafter be in force with respect to its obligations
hereunder. DeltaPoint shall promptly notify SPSS of any action, lawsuit, claim
or proceeding arising, either directly or indirectly, from its use of the Assets
or operation of the Business.
9. INSURANCE. During the Term of this Agreement, DeltaPoint shall
maintain insurance, providing coverage for the Assets.
10. REMOVAL. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
SPSS shall remove, at its own expense, the Assets and documents associated with
the Business, including any inventory and purchase orders, which are located at
DeltaPoint. The process of removal shall be completed within thirty (30) days
after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. SPSS shall be
responsible for all sales, use or other taxes resulting from such removal.
11. NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS.
11.1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. "Confidential Information" means
all of the trade secrets, all Inventions (as defined herein), and all
confidential technical and business information which SPSS owns or is
licensed to use relating to the Assets or the Business, or may in the
future own or be licensed to use relating to the Assets or the Business.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential Information
shall include the following, whether now or hereafter existing: all
product development and design information, systems, programs, algorithms,
software
<PAGE>
(including, without limitation, source and object code and design and user
documentation), procedures, techniques, manuals, customer information,
specifications, data bases, test results, information concerning business
or product acquisitions, strategic plans, customer lists, pricing data, and
discoveries, inventions and innovations made, created, developed or
associated with the Assets or the Business.
11.2. INVENTIONS. "Inventions" mean all systems, programs,
algorithms, procedures, techniques, manuals, data bases, plans, lists,
inventions, copyrights, patents, trademarks, discoveries, innovations,
concepts, ideas and software (including, without limitation, source and
object code and design and user documentation) conceived, compiled or
developed by DeltaPoint in the course of DeltaPoint's engagement by SPSS
under this Agreement.
11.3. NON-DISCLOSURE AND ASSIGNMENT. DeltaPoint will regard and
preserve as confidential and as trade secrets all the Confidential
Information. During the Term of the Agreement and thereafter, DeltaPoint
covenants and agrees that it shall not, except with the prior written
consent of SPSS, directly or indirectly use, report, publish, transfer or
disclose any Confidential Information, except (i) acting at the direction
of SPSS solely for SPSS' benefit in accordance with SPSS' established
business practices and policies; or (ii) to consummate the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement. The Confidential Information shall
remain the sole and exclusive property of SPSS, and upon any expiration or
termination of the Agreement, DeltaPoint shall promptly return any and all
Confidential Information in its possession or control to SPSS. DeltaPoint
shall assign to SPSS, its right, title and interest in and to any Invention
developed using any Confidential Information. Confidential Information
shall not, however, include any information which (i) was publicly known
and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of
disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made
generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party to the
receiving party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (iii)
is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of
disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by the receiving party's files
and records immediately prior to the time of disclosures; (iv) is obtained
by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of such third
party's obligations of confidentiality; (v) is independently developed by
the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party's
Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent
evidence in the receiving party's possession; or (vi) is required by law to
be disclosed by the receiving party, PROVIDED THAT the receiving party
gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such requirement prior
to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order protecting the
information from public disclosure.
11.4. EMPLOYEES. All personnel, including employees, agents,
consultants and contractors, who will provide services during the Term of
this Agreement (a) will be at such time parties to "work-for-hire"
arrangements or
<PAGE>
agreements with DeltaPoint, in accordance with applicable federal and
state law, that have accorded DeltaPoint full, effective, exclusive and
original ownership of all intellectual property thereby arising, or (b)
will have executed appropriate instruments of assignment, which are still
in full force and effect, in favor of DeltaPoint, as assignee, that have
conveyed to DeltaPoint full, effective and exclusive ownership of all
intellectual property thereby arising.
11.5. ASSURANCES. DeltaPoint covenants and agrees that
DeltaPoint will not use, in connection with the performance of DeltaPoint's
duties and responsibilities to SPSS, any confidential, technical or
business information acquired from, or developed on behalf of any other
person, firm or association to the extent that any such usage could
reasonably be expected to be adverse to SPSS in any material respect.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. DeltaPoint shall indemnify and hold SPSS and
its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action,
losses, damages, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and amounts paid in good faith in settlement) arising out of or
relating to (i) any breach or default of any representation or obligation
hereunder by DeltaPoint; (ii) the failure of DeltaPoint to comply with any
applicable law, ordinance or regulation; and (iii) the negligence or willful
misconduct of DeltaPoint or any affiliate, related entity, partner, employee,
agent or representative of DeltaPoint for services provided under this
Agreement. In no event shall the amount of any damages so payable by DeltaPoint
exceed $50,000.00.
13. ARBITRATION. Any dispute as to any claims under this Agreement
shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
14. BREACH. In the event DeltaPoint fails to perform or defaults in
the performance of any of its obligations hereunder in any material respect,
SPSS may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, recover from DeltaPoint
any loss or damage suffered by it as a result of such failure in accordance with
the terms of Section 12 hereof and/or terminate this Agreement upon notice of
termination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such termination shall not affect
SPSS's obligations under Section 7 hereof with respect to Qualified Cost of
Goods Sold or SPSS's obligation to pay, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the pro
rata portion of the $400,000.00 payment for the period prior to such
termination.
15. MISCELLANEOUS.
15.1. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. DeltaPoint is an independent
contractor. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting DeltaPoint
and SPSS as partners or joint venturers, or as creating any other form of legal
association or arrangement which would impose liability upon one party for the
act or failure to act of the other party. Neither party shall have the right to
bind the other party or make any promises or representations on behalf of the
other party.
