PART I
Item 1 BUSINESS
Pegasystems develops customer relationship management software to automate
customer interactions across transaction-intensive enterprises. Many of the
world's largest organizations in banking, mutual funds and securities, mortgage
services, card services, insurance, healthcare management, and
telecommunications use the Company's solutions to integrate, automate,
standardize, and manage a broad array of mission-critical customer interactions,
including account set-up, record retrieval, correspondence, disputes,
investigations, adjustments, and sales. The Company's solutions can be used by
thousands of concurrent users to manage customer interactions and to generate
billions of dollars a day in resulting transactions. Work processes initiated by
the Company's solutions are driven by a highly adaptable "rule base" defined by
the user-organization for its specific needs. The rule base facilitates a high
level of consistency in customer interactions in call centers, over the
Internet, and other delivery channels, yet drives different processes depending
on the customer profile or the nature of the request. The Company's open,
multi-tiered, client/server solutions operate on a broad variety of platforms,
including UNIX, Windows/NT, and IBM/MVS. The Company offers consulting,
training, and support services to facilitate the use of its solutions.
Industry Background
Intensifying competition is forcing businesses to reduce costs while
focusing on customer relationship management as the most important means of
differentiation. Many types of businesses are increasingly recognizing customer
interactions as a critical opportunity to solidify and expand customer
relationships. Due to the volume and precise nature of customer transactions, it
is especially critical for organizations to implement cost-effective systems
that manage customer interactions accurately and efficiently and capitalize on
that interaction to cross sell and up sell additional products and services.
Providing high-quality, cost-effective customer relationship management is
complex. Organizations with global operations must be able to manage customer
interactions in different languages, time zones, currencies, and regulatory
environments. The challenge is magnified as the product offerings of an
organization increase and when organizations are combined. Work processes
occasioned by a single customer interaction often involve multiple departments
within an organization, which may have different priorities and service
standards, and may involve a variety of different computer systems. Customers
may contact an organization through various means, including telephone,
facsimile, the Internet, or in person. The organization must be able to respond
in a timely, accurate, and consistent fashion or risk customer defection.
Historically, in attempting to meet demand for new customer management
software systems, organizations have faced a choice between building custom
systems or purchasing third-party systems. Building custom systems or modifying
third-party systems can be slow and costly and has often led to isolated,
departmentalized solutions. Traditional third-party systems are often
inflexible, requiring organizations to conform their work processes to the
system, rather than vice versa. Neither custom nor third-party solutions have
generally accommodated an organization's need to evolve or expand operations
without significant programming effort. Moreover, neither has had the
high-volume transaction processing or integration capabilities necessary to
support the comprehensive customer interaction requirements of large
organizations. Today, organizations need flexible, scalable customer

relationship management solutions that can be implemented on an enterprise-wide
basis to facilitate consistent, cost-effective customer relationship management.
The Pegasystems Solution
The Company's solutions integrate, automate, standardize, and manage on an
enterprise-wide basis a broad array of mission-critical customer interactions
for organizations, including account set-up, record retrieval, correspondence,
disputes, investigations, adjustments, and sales. Pegasystems' solutions provide
an architecture that drives intelligent processing and seamlessly integrates an
organization's geographically dispersed and product specific service operations
and isolated computer systems. By bridging these "islands of automation" within
large organizations, the Company's solutions increase the efficiency of sales
and service representatives and enable organizations to address multiple
customer needs during a single contact.
The Company's customer service management solutions offer the following
advantages:
Flexibility and Consistency. The Company's solutions are based on rules
defined by the user-organization which drive various types of processing
depending on such factors as the content of the customer request, the profile of
the customer, the organization's policies and procedures, and the authority or
qualifications of the customer sales and service representatives. By modifying
its rule base, an organization can evolve its processing to address the
competitive requirements of its business without costly and time consuming
reprogramming. Significantly, the rule base feature of the Company's systems
permits an organization to establish consistent standards yet interact
differently with different segments of its customer base and thereby "mass
personalize" its services.
Scalability and Robust Functionality. The scalability of the Company's
multi-tiered client/server architecture allows an organization to add
departments easily to new or existing servers without performance degradation.
Organizations currently entrust the Company's systems with the storage and
management of data relating to hundreds of millions of financial transactions.
The Company's systems can be used by several thousand concurrent users to manage
customer interactions and to process accurately and securely transactions
involving billions of dollars a day that result from those interactions.
Ease-of-Use. The Company's client software applications increase the
effectiveness and productivity of customer sales and service representatives by
providing them with a flexible graphical user interface and processing
capabilities that leverage the power of client/server desktop computers or the
Internet/intranet. The Company's solutions allow customer sales and service
representatives to focus on delivering superior customer management, rather than
on mastering the protocols and procedures of multiple applications.
Integration Capabilities. The Company's open architecture permits its
solutions to be integrated with a wide variety of other applications and
technologies, including industry-standard relational database management
systems, advanced telephony equipment, and diverse storage media (including
magnetic, optical, tape, and microfilm). The Company's solutions also support
the message formats of major financial transaction networks such as the SWIFT
international funds network, the Federal Reserve's Fedwire system, and the VISA
and MasterCard networks.
Page 4
<PAGE>
Multi-Platform Server Support. The Company's solutions feature a common
software code base which, in addition to facilitating maintenance and
enhancement development efforts, simplifies the support of multiple platforms.
The Company's solutions are designed to run on a broad range of computer
operating systems including IBM's MVS/CICS and AIX/UNIX systems, Digital
Equipment Corporation's VMS system, Microsoft's Windows/NT system, Sun
Microsystems' Solaris UNIX system, and Hewlett-Packard Corporation's HP-UX UNIX
system.
Improved Efficiency of Customer Management. Pegasystems' solutions actually
perform work, rather than simply track a customer management professional's
tasks. Variable data elements (e.g., date, amount, customer, account)
automatically route service requests and invoke system processes, depending on
an organization's rule base. This feature allows customer sales and service
representatives to focus on revenue enhancing opportunities, such as cross
selling, and other matters requiring personal attention. During a customer
interaction, the Company's solutions provide pertinent, consolidated information
to guide the service representative. Savings are realized through reduced talk
time, fewer manual processes, and less rework.
Business Strategy
Pegasystems' objective is to become the leading provider of
mission-critical client/server customer relationship management software to
organizations performing a high volume of complex interactions with demanding
customers. To achieve this objective, the Company is pursuing the following
strategies:
Leverage Strength in Financial Services Market. Pegasystems provides
customer relationship management solutions to many of the largest financial
services organizations in the world. The Company is seeking to expand its
business with these organizations through sales efforts focused on marketing the
Company's products and services to other business operations of these
organizations. The Company is also leveraging its relationships and expertise
with large financial services organizations to penetrate the medium-sized
financial services market.
Leverage Early Endorsement in Other Markets. In 1997, Pegasystems
successfully penetrated and delivered its solutions to the insurance,
telecommunications, healthcare management, and public utilities markets. Like
the financial services industry, these markets have customer relationship
management needs, and the Company's core technology is readily adaptable to
these markets. During 1997, the Company hired personnel with expertise in these
markets.
Increase Sales and Support Efforts. Pegasystems intends to establish
additional sales and support offices, increase significantly its domestic and
international direct sales forces, and provide enhanced service to customers. In
addition, the Company plans to develop further its relationships with technology
partners and consulting firms to gain introduction into significant business
opportunities.
Develop Standard Product Templates. The Company commenced licensing
standard product templates that give organizations an advanced starting point
for configuring their work processes.
Page 5
<PAGE>
The Company intends to continue to develop and market standard product
templates. The Company believes that these templates will facilitate more rapid
implementation of the Company's solutions and will be a cost-effective way to
address the needs of smaller organizations.
Reduce Implementation Time. The Company is continuing to refine its
PegaSTAR consulting methodology, an approach to the reengineering of an
organization's work processes that facilitates more rapid implementation of the
Company's customer management systems and continued evolution of such systems by
an organization's personnel after initial implementation. This methodology
complements the Company's standard product templates in reducing the time
required to implement the Company's systems.
Strategic Relationships. The Company has actively developed a partner
strategy to increase market penetration at several levels. It has developed a
formal PegaCSP (Pegasystems' Certified Solutions Provider) program to recruit
Systems Integrators to allow and enable them to develop active Pegasystems
practices. The Company is continuing with its strategy of leveraging dominant
players in certain markets to sell and support its products. Financial
transaction processors such as First Data Resources, for example, provide access
to key customers and significant insight into the product requirements of the
card market. The Company also continues to leverage relationships with
technology companies to jointly bring best-of-breed solutions to market in a
timely fashion.
Maintain Technological Leadership Position. Pegasystems is continuing to
develop and invest in its technology. Current development efforts include the
development of tools to facilitate the use of its customer management system,
the integration of the Company's products with additional databases,
interoperability with Internet and intranet systems, and support of emerging
technical and workflow standards.
Technology
The Company's technology is designed to provide Technology Enabled
Relationship Management (TERM) over a variety of delivery channels including
call centers, branch offices, and the Internet. Pegasystems' solutions have the
following key technological attributes:
Information Management. Effective customer response requires up-to-date
information about the customer relationship, regardless of how, why, when, or
where the customer contacts the organization. Pegasystems' customer relationship
management solutions organize core customer information to facilitate global
access.
Multi-tiered, Dynamic Distributed Processing. The Company's systems are
designed to run in an advanced, highly scalable multi-tiered environment. In
traditional three-tiered client/server environments, the user interface, the
application code, and the data are segregated onto separate tiers. In the
Pegasystems three-tiered client/server environment, the application code, the
rule base, and selected data are replicated on both the central and satellite
tiers so that processing may occur on either the central server or the
distributed satellite servers to minimize network traffic and enhance
performance. The rule base determines the optimal location for processing to
occur based on the nature of the work required and the data involved. Rule base
changes are replicated across the organization's central and satellite servers
to facilitate consistent processing by all parts of the organization.
Page 6
<PAGE>
Inherited Workflow. Pegasystems solutions maintain organizational
consistency while providing the flexibility needed for mass personalization. The
rule base of the Company's systems may be defined so that certain processes are
standardized across an organization while others may be superseded or
supplemented by "local" rules tailored to the specific requirements of groups
within the organization.
Platform Independence. Recognizing that organizations often use a variety
of computer platforms, Pegasystems provides technology alternatives by
supporting a range of mainframes, minicomputers, PC networks, and interface
devices. While the Company offers an advanced 32-bit Windows-PegaREACH
application for the desktop, the Company's server applications can also drive
"dumb terminals," allowing organizations to preserve their investments in legacy
networks.
Internet and Intranet Access. Pegasystems' solution PegaREACH uses the
Internet-based HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to define display attributes for
its graphical user interface, leveraging logic and presentation rules between
PegaReach and Internet/intranet workflows. With PegaWEB, these workflows can be
accessed over the Internet or intranet using standard web browsers with no
change to core application rules. Pegasystems' rules dynamically create HTML
forms, menus, and displays, thereby facilitating interaction with the Internet.
Interfacing With Other Systems. Pegasystems' open architecture permits
integration with a wide variety of other applications and networks, including
relational databases, legacy systems accessed through IBM 3270 emulation, and
messaging protocols. The Company offers a Universal Application Programming
Interface (API) that allows an organization's custom software to be integrated
with the Company's applications without the need to modify the Company's core
application code. Pegasystems' PegaCONNECT components also support interfaces to
IBM's MQSeries, CORBA, 3270-based mainframe applications, and major relational
database systems. Pegasystems' solutions also integrate with other applications,
accounting systems, and imaging products
Storage Options. Data storage flexibility is important to the Company's
customers, and the Company's software uses an innovative object-oriented
approach that dynamically maps data according to the type of workflow. Versions
of the Company's systems can store customer service request data in the
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Informix, and Sybase relational databases.
Functionality
The Company's solutions employ a consistent architecture and support the
following customer relationship management functions across call centers and
other service delivery operations:
Receiving. An organization's customer contact center receives requests by
telephone, mail, facsimile, or personal contact. Customer service
representatives and agents may enter details of incoming requests into
PegaREACH, the Company's easy-to-use, 32-bit graphical user interface.
Alternatively, electronic service requests are received from various networks or
messaging interfaces such as MQSeries, the SWIFT network, the Internet, or the
VISA/MasterCard network. The Company's systems also support direct electronic
access by customers through PCs, Internet
Page 7
<PAGE>
browsers, and voice response units. In all cases, the service request
automatically initiates appropriate processing based on the rule base.
Routing. As processing steps are completed, the Company's systems
categorize and queue the request for appropriate automatic or manual processing.
Productivity-based load leveling and dynamic prioritization ensure high
performance and responsiveness. As work is processed, each customer
representative's "work list" is automatically updated in real time. The systems
monitor each customer request for conformance to the organization's timeliness
standards, automatically increasing priority and generating warnings based on
the service standards of the organization.
Researching. The Company's systems determine when more information is
needed and how to retrieve it from databases or other repositories. Pegasystems'
rule-driven processing automatically extracts relevant data, directs it to the
customer service representative or customer, links it to the work, and keeps it
readily accessible. The Company's systems can access information from multiple
data sources, whether maintained by the Company's systems or third-party
systems.
Responding. The Company's systems facilitate communications by an
organization with its customers by combining user-defined templates and specific
customer information to create personalized correspondence. When appropriate,
service representatives may further refine message content before forwarding by
mail, facsimile, or electronic transmission, and may attach images of
statements, checks, and other data. Follow-up communications are automatically
composed, customized, and sent. Sensitive correspondence can be queued for
online review before release, and the systems create a permanent audit trail of
customer communications.
Resolving. Concluding a piece of work involves application of the
organization's rules for resolving a request or stepping the customer service
representative through the process when human judgment is required. Resolution
also includes the creation of transactions, transmission to production systems,
management of financial adjustments, posting of service charges, updating of
general ledger accounts, and synchronization of multiple item requests.
Pegasystems' solutions improve efficiency and reduce effort and errors.
Reporting. Data automatically collected by a Pegasystem enables an
organization to analyze service representative efficiency and determine needs
for service representative training or changes to work processes. The systems
produce reports, graphical output, and feeds to spreadsheets illustrating the
volume and status of customer requests, the productivity of customer service
representatives, and service levels with specific customers.
The Company offers a number of different products with components and
features designed to address particular business areas while sharing core
technology and adaptable rule-driven processing. The Company intends to continue
to develop and market standard packaged solutions targeted at traditional and
new markets. The Company is moving toward product sets and brand identities
associated with each market.

The Company offers industry specific solutions for:
Commercial Banking. The Company provides commercial banking solutions that
automate payments research, money transfers, and other "cash management' service
functions. These solutions improve the quality, accuracy, and efficiency of
customer interactions, making it easy for commercial banking organizations to
support their offerings a wide variety of services, including funds transfers,
account reconciliation, lock-box services, controlled disbursement accounts, and
account analysis.
Consumer Banking. The Company provides consumer banking solutions that automate
customer sales and service initiatives across diverse delivery channels, such as
Internet self-service, call centers, and branch networks. Targeted functions
within consumer banking include customer-contact adjustments, sales-campaign
management, and correspondence.
Securities and Mutual Funds. The Company services the mutual funds industry
through an agreement with First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. (FDI), a
subsidiary of First Data Corporation. The integrated product--marketed by FDI
under the name IMPRESS Plus--offers mutual fund institutions a comprehensive
service solution.
Card Processing. The Company's products are offered to the card processing
market through a relicensing agreement with First Data Resources (FDR)--the
largest card processor in the world. A jointly developed solution combines
Pegasystems' workflow and service delivery technology with First Data's
servicing functionality and on-line interfaces. It gives clients a flexible,
user-friendly solution that can be quickly and easily adapted to meet evolving
business needs without costly programming.
Insurance. The Company's insurance solutions integrate disparate back-end
systems to ensure that when calls, letters, or faxes reach representatives, they
have easy access to all the information they need to handle policyholder
requests. The Company's solutions position insurance organizations to provide
highly personalized customer service and increase profitability through
cross-selling.
Healthcare. The Company's healthcare solutions enable healthcare organizations
to more efficiently coordinate care. This allows health maintenance
organizations, healthcare providers, pharmacists, laboratory clinicians, and
health insurers to access integrated patient information over a network of
previously disconnected systems. Personalized data presentation provides
meaningful views of a patient's history, giving users easy access to just the
information they need to quickly respond to requests including referrals,
benefits verification, and claim status.
Telecommunications. The Company's flexible rule-base solutions can be configured
to automate a telecommunications service provider's interactions with its
customers and other providers. The Company provides workflow management
solutions which integrate disparate information systems--a capability of
importance to telecommunications providers facing competition due to
deregulation.
Utilities. The Company offers solutions that unite departmental or
organizational `islands of information' that may have evolved over years of
internal systems development. They retrieve customer information from numerous
legacy systems, identify cross-selling opportunities personalized to the
individual needs of each customer, and provide convenient service alternatives.
These solutions optimize customer service representative talk time and ensure
consistently high-quality service. They can also be adapted for a wide variety
of plant monitoring, management, and maintenance functions and can be configured
to track and document authorizations, and to enforce adherence to regulated
response times.

Product Pricing
The Company's systems are licensed to organizations under agreements
requiring the payment of fees, typically in monthly installments, over the term
of the agreement. The amount of the license fee is based on various factors,
including the number of concurrent users, the functionality of the system, the
number of servers on which the product is installed, and the scope of business
usage. Typical recent individual system licenses have provided for the payment
of monthly fees of between $10,000 and $100,000 for an initial implementation.
Some organizations receive discounts for licensing multiple systems. The monthly
license payments generally begin once a system is installed and its capabilities
are accepted. The term of such licenses is typically five years, subject to
automatic renewal at the organization's option.
Services
Consulting Services. The Company supports its customers' reengineering
efforts during and after system installation with the PegaSTAR (the Pegasystems
Structured Technique for Analysis and Reengineering) installation methodology.
The Company encourages team building and transfer of knowledge from its
consultants to an organization's staff through an interactive co-production
methodology. Pegasystems and its customers work together to design, document and
tailor the system's rule base to the customer's organization. Pegasystems' goal
is to empower its customers' staffs with the knowledge and confidence to
operate, refine, and evolve their systems. The Company's new PegaCSP program
provides customers with the option of using third-party Systems Integrators'
analytical, technical, and managerial expertise to assist in Pegasystems'
implementation projects. Pegasystems Client Services Group, which as of December
31, 1997 was comprised of approximately 125 people located in the Company's
twelve offices, provides consulting, training, and customer support.
Training. The Company offers training programs for its customers'
operations staff and "Workflow Architects," who are responsible for evolving the
rules that drive the various processes related to customer interactions.
Pegasystems also organizes an annual PegaVISION Customer Conference and periodic
Advisory Board meetings, which enable its clients to exchange ideas, learn about
product directions, and influence Pegasystems' development process. Pegasystems
has training centers in Cambridge, MA; San Francisco, CA; and Reading, U.K.
Maintenance and Support. Pegasystems provides comprehensive maintenance and
support services, which may include 24 hours a day, 7 days a week customer
service, periodic preventative maintenance, documentation updates, and new
software releases.
Organizations that license the Company's systems may enter into a
maintenance contract providing for the payment to the Company of a monthly
maintenance fee over the term of the related license agreement generally equal
to approximately 18% of the monthly license fee. Organizations seeking
consulting and support services are generally charged an incremental fee ranging
between $70 and $220 per hour.

In 1995, Chemical Bank accounted for 12.6% of the Company's consolidated
revenue and Citibank and Household Credit Services accounted for 16.2% and
14.9%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1996, Bank of
America, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Fleet Bank accounted for 14.5%, 11.4% and
10.5%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1997, Kaiser
Permanente and First Data Resources Corporation accounted for 13.7% and 10.0%,
respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue.
Sales and Marketing
The Company markets its software and services primarily through a direct
sales force. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's sales force consisted of
approximately 40 salespersons in the Company's domestic and foreign offices. The
Company intends to continue to increase substantially the size of its sales
force. In addition, the Company is seeking to enhance the productivity of its
direct sales force by hiring additional support personnel to assist with the
sales, marketing, and technical requirements of the Company's complex and
lengthy sales cycle. To achieve significant revenue growth in the future, it
will be necessary for the Company both to increase the size and to enhance the
productivity of its direct sales force. Competition for qualified sales
personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to attract such personnel. If the Company is unable to hire additional qualified
sales personnel on a timely basis, the Company's business, operating results,
and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Pegasystems entered into a strategic relationship with First Data
Corporation which includes an agreement with First Data Resources (FDR) that
gives FDR -- the largest card processor in the world -- world wide rights to use
and re-license Pegasystems' solutions in the card issuing market. The Company
has evolved its indirect distribution channel by entering into an agreement with
First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., under which the Company's PegaSHARES
product is distributed by First Data. In addition, the Company has established
joint marketing relationships with Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard Company,
Oracle Corporation, Informix, and Sybase. Recently, the Company entered into a
joint marketing agreement with Management Data, which develops solutions for
reconciliation and exception management for financial transactions. In the
future, the Company may also market and sell its products through value added
resellers (VARs) and Systems Integrators. There can be no assurance, however,
that the Company will be able to attract and retain VARs, Systems Integrators,
and other third parties that will be able to market and sell the Company's
products effectively.
To support its sales force, the Company conducts marketing programs which
include trade shows, public relations, and seminars. Sales leads are also
generated by the Company's consulting staff, partners, and other third parties.
In 1995, 1996, and 1997, international sales represented 10.5%, 17.7%, and
16.5%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Results of Operations" incorporated herein by reference from the
1997 Annual Report. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the 1997 Annual Report.
Product Development
Since its inception, the Company has made substantial investments in
product development. The Company believes that its future performance depends on
its ability to maintain and enhance its current products and develop new
products. The Company's product development priorities include (1) creating
tools to enable organizations to configure more easily their customer service
management systems; (2) integrating the Company's products with the Internet for
customer self-service and with intranet systems for departmental service; and
(3) developing standard Application Programming Interfaces that allow other
client workstation and server applications to interoperate with the Company's
systems.
In 1995, 1996, and 1997 the Company's research and development expenses
were approximately $7.1 million, $8.2 million, and $15.1 million, respectively.
Competition
The customer service management software market is intensely competitive
and subject to rapid change. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and
breadth of the products and services offered. The Company encounters competition
primarily from internal information systems departments of potential or current
customers that develop custom software. The Company also competes with: (1)
software companies that target the customer interaction or workflow markets such
Page 13
<PAGE>
as Remedy Corporation, Scopus Technology, Inc., Siebel Systems, and The Vantive
Corporation; (2) companies that target specific service areas such as DST
Systems Inc.; and (3) professional services organizations such as Andersen
Consulting that develop custom software in conjunction with rendering consulting
services. In addition, the Company expects additional competition from other
established and emerging companies, including Oracle Corporation and SAP AG, as
the market continues to develop and expand. Increased competition may result in
price reductions, less beneficial contract terms, reduced gross margins and loss
of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect the
Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors affecting its
market include product features such as adaptability, scalability, ability to
integrate with other products and technologies, functionality and ease-of-use,
the timely development and introduction of new products and product
enhancements, as well as product reputation, quality, performance, price,
customer service and support, and the vendor's reputation. Although the Company
believes that its products currently compete favorably with regard to such
factors, there can be no assurance that the Company can maintain its competitive
position against current and potential competitors.
Many of the Company's competitors have greater resources than the Company,
and may be able to respond more quickly and efficiently to new or emerging
technologies, programming languages or standards, or to changes in customer
requirements or preferences. Many of the Company's competitors can devote
greater managerial or financial resources than the Company can to develop,
promote and distribute customer service management software products and provide
related consulting, training, and support services. There can be no assurance
that the Company's current or future competitors will not develop products or
services which may be superior in one or more respects to the Company's or which
may gain greater market acceptance. Some of the Company's competitors have
established or may establish cooperative arrangements or strategic alliances
among themselves or with third parties, thus enhancing their abilities to
compete with the Company. It is likely that new competitors will emerge and
rapidly acquire market share. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the
competitive pressures faced by the Company will not materially and adversely
affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.
Intellectual Property and Licenses
The Company relies primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and
trade secrets laws, as well as confidentiality agreements to protect its
proprietary rights. The Company also has one patent application pending in the
United States relating to the architecture of the Company's systems. While the
Company believes that its pending patent application relates to a patentable
invention, there can be no assurance that such patent application or any future
patent application will be granted or that any patent relied upon by the Company
in the future will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that rights
granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company. Moreover,
despite the Company's efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy aspects of the Company's products or to obtain the
use of information that the Company regards as proprietary. In addition, the
laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights
to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no
assurance that the Company's means of protecting its proprietary rights will be
adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently develop
similar technology.
Page 14
<PAGE>
The Company is not aware that any of its products infringes the proprietary
rights of third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties
will not claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or future
products. The Company expects that software product developers will increasingly
be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in
the Company's industry segment grows and the functionality of products in
different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit,
could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment
delays, or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms
acceptable to the Company or at all, which could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
From time to time, the Company licenses software from third parties for use
with its products. The Company believes that no such license agreement to which
it is presently a party is material and that if any such license agreement were
to terminate for any reason, the Company would be able to obtain a license or
otherwise acquire other comparable technology or software on terms and on a
timetable that would not be materially adverse to the Company.
Employees
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 400 employees, of
whom approximately 325 were based in the United States, 65 were based in Europe,
and 10 were based in Asia Pacific. Of the total, approximately 100 perform
research and development, 160 perform consulting and customer support, 100 were
in sales and marketing, and 40 were in administration and finance. The Company's
future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of its
key technical, sales and marketing, and senior management personnel and its
continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, sales and
marketing and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting
or retaining such personnel in the future. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a labor union or is subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations
with its employees to be good.
Backlog of License and Maintenance
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had software license and maintenance
agreements with customers expected to result in approximately $26 million of
revenue in 1998. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had software license and
maintenance agreements with customers expected to result in approximately $8.0
million of revenue in 1997.

Item 2 PROPERTIES
Pegasystems' principal administrative, sales, marketing, support, and
research and development operations are located in a 50,000 square foot leased
facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lease for this facility expires in
March 1999, subject to the Company's option to extend the term for up to eight
additional years. The Company also leases space for its other offices in the
United States, Australia, France, and the United Kingdom. These leases expire at
various dates through 2005. The Company believes that additional or alternative
space will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms as
needed.
Item 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Actions Arising under Federal Securities Laws
In November 1997 and in early January 1998, two separate complaints
purporting to be class actions were filed with the United States District Court
for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the Company and several of its
officers violated section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and section 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The two actions were
consolidated by order of the Court and with the parties' consent, and a
Consolidated Complaint in the case captioned Joseph Chalverus, et al. v.
Pegasystems, Inc., et al. was filed in late-March, 1998. The complaint names the
Company itself and Alan Trefler, Ira Vishner, and Kenneth W. Olson, three
officers of the Company, as defendants.
The Consolidated Complaint alleges that certain of the defendants made
materially false and misleading statements concerning the Pegasystems-First Data
Resources transaction in the Company's filings with the Commission, analysts'
reports, press releases, media reports, and in connection with the Company's
financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The Consolidated
Complaint also alleges that one of the defendants sold shares of the Company
stock during the period between the date the transaction was first publicly
announced and the date the Company announced that it and its former certifying
auditor disagreed on the accounting treatment of the transaction. The
Consolidated Complaint seeks certification of a class of persons who purchased
Pegasystems' Common Stock between July 2, 1997 through October 29, 1997, and
does not specify the amount of damages sought.
The defendants have not filed any answers, motions to dismiss or other
responsive pleadings in this litigation, but anticipate filing a motion to
dismiss in the near future. The Company intends to defend this matter
vigorously.
Item 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 there were no matters submitted to
a vote of security holders.

CERTAIN STATEMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF
THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Company, desiring to avail itself of the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, wishes to caution readers
that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have caused
and in the future could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases
and oral statements.
Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"estimates," "should," and similar words and expressions are intended to
identify the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K Report.
These statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions
of the Company and its management and are not guarantees of future performance.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results; Seasonality
The Company's revenue and operating results have varied considerably in the
past, and are likely to vary considerably in the future. Such fluctuations may
be particularly pronounced because a significant portion of the Company's
revenue in any quarter is attributable to product acceptances or license
renewals by a relatively small number of customers, and reflecting the Company's
policy of recognizing license fee revenue upon product acceptance or license
renewal in an amount equal to the present value of the total committed license
payments due during the initial license term or renewal period, as the case may
be. Product acceptance is generally preceded by an implementation period,
typically ranging from one to six months but in some cases significantly longer,
and by a lengthy sales cycle. The Company's sales cycle is subject to a number
of significant risks over which the Company has little or no control, including
customers' budgeting constraints and internal authorization reviews. Product
implementation may be delayed for a variety of reasons including unforeseen
technical problems and changes dictated by the customer in the scope or schedule
of the implementation. Other factors contributing to fluctuations in the
Company's revenue and operating results include changes in the level of
operating expenses, demand for the Company's products and services, the
introduction of new products and product enhancements by the Company and its
competitors, competitive conditions in the industry, and general economic
conditions. The Company budgets its product development and other expenses
anticipating future revenue. If revenue falls below expectations, the Company's
business, operating results, and financial condition are likely to be materially
and adversely affected because only a small portion of the Company's expenses
vary with its revenue. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should
not be relied upon to predict future performance. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to maintain profitability on an annual or quarterly
basis.
Page 18
<PAGE>
The Company's business has experienced and may continue to experience
significant seasonality. In recent years the Company has recognized a greater
percentage of its revenue in its third and fourth quarters than in the first and
second quarters due to the Company's sales commission structure and the impact
of that structure on the timing of product acceptances and license renewals by
customers. This pattern has been reinforced by the Company's maintenance
contracts, some of which entitle customers to, among other things, a fixed
number of hours of service per calendar year. Once the annual allotment of
service hours is exhausted, customers pay for additional services on an hourly
basis, typically resulting in higher services revenue in the Company's second,
third, and fourth quarters.
Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future quarters
the Company's operating results will fall below the expectations of the Company,
market analysts, and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's Common
Stock would likely be materially and adversely affected.
Dependence on New Products; Rapid Technological Change; Product Development and
Implementation Risks
The market for customer relationship management software and related
consulting and training services is subject to rapid technological change,
changing customer needs and preferences, frequent new product introductions, and
evolving programming languages and industry standards that may render existing
products and services obsolete. The Company's position in its current market or
other markets that it may enter could be eroded rapidly by product advances. The
life cycles of the Company's products are difficult to estimate, and the
Company's growth and future performance will depend in part upon its ability to
enhance existing products, and to develop and introduce new products that keep
pace with technological advancements, meet changing customer requirements,
respond to competitive products, and achieve market acceptance. The Company's
product development efforts require, and are expected to continue to require,
substantial investments by the Company for research, refinement, and testing,
and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the resources
sufficient to make such investments. The Company has in the past experienced
developmental delays, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience difficulties which would delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction or implementation of new or enhanced products. In addition, there
can be no assurance that such products will meet the requirements of the
marketplace and achieve market acceptance, or that the Company's current or
future products will conform to changing industry requirements. If the Company
is unable for technological or other reasons to develop, introduce or implement
new or enhanced products in a timely and effective manner, the Company's
business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.
Products as complex as the Company's may contain errors that may be
detected at any point in the products' life cycles. In the past, the Company has
discovered certain errors in its products and has experienced shipping delays
while such errors were corrected. Such errors have also required the Company to
ship corrected products to existing customers. There can be no assurance that
errors will not be found in the future resulting in the loss of, or delay in,
market acceptance and/or sales and revenue, diversion of development resources,
injury to the Company's reputation, or increased service and warranty costs, any
of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition.

Computing Platform Shift; Compatibility with Third-Party Relational Databases
The Company commenced efforts in 1992 to evolve versions of its products to
use the C++ programming language and run on a variety of open platforms. In
December 1995, for the first time one of the new C++ versions of the Company's
products was used in production by a customer of the Company. The Company has
since shipped new C++ versions of its products for use on RS 6000/AIX, Digital
OpenVMS, Sun Solaris, Hewlett-Packard, and Windows/NT platforms. The Company is
actively working with customers to bring additional installations of these
products into production. There can be no assurance that the new versions of the
Company's products will meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve
market acceptance, or that organizations will not migrate to other computing
platforms not supported by the Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that, notwithstanding the benefits of the new versions of the Company's
products, some of the Company's existing customers may choose not to migrate to
UNIX and Windows/NT systems. In such event, the Company may be required to
support both the old and new versions of its products, which could have a
material adverse effect on its business, operating results, and financial
condition.
The Company believes that the compatibility of customer relationship
management software systems with popular relational databases is an important
factor in the purchase decision of many organizations. Consequently, the Company
recently developed and shipped versions of its software capable of storing work
items in Oracle, Informix, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server relational
databases. However, the Company's existing and potential customers may demand
that the Company's systems be compatible with other relational databases and
there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties
which would delay or prevent the successful development or introduction of these
additional capabilities. Any such difficulty could have a material and adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
Dependence on the Financial Services Market; Industry Consolidation
The Company has derived a significant portion of its revenue to date from
customers in the financial services market, and the Company's future growth
depends, in part, upon increased sales to this market. The financial condition
of the Company's customers and their willingness to pay for the Company's
products and services are affected by competitive pressures, decreasing
operating margins within the industry, currency fluctuations, active geographic
expansion, and deregulation. The Company believes that its customers' purchasing
patterns are somewhat discretionary. As a result, demand for the Company's
products and services could be affected by the condition of the markets the
Company serves or a deterioration in economic or market conditions generally.
The financial services market is undergoing intense domestic and
international consolidation. In recent years, several customers of the Company
have been merged or consolidated out of independent existence, and there is no
assurance that the Company will not experience declines in revenue occasioned,
in whole or in part, by future mergers or consolidations. Any decline in the
demand for the Company's products would have a material, adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
Page 20
<PAGE>
Uncertainty of Growth into other Markets
As part of its growth strategy the Company believes that it is critical to
continue selling its products to markets other than financial services, such as
insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, public utilities, and retail. The
Company believes that in connection with such efforts it will be necessary for
the Company to continue to hire additional personnel with expertise in these
other markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be
successful in selling its products to these other markets or in continuing to
attract and retain personnel with the necessary industry expertise. The
inability of the Company to succeed in its penetration of these other markets
could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, and
financial condition.
Risks of Customer License Non-Renewal
Revenue attributable to license renewals has historically accounted for a
significant portion of the Company's total revenue. While historically a
substantial number have been renewed, there can be no assurance that a
substantial majority of the Company's customers will continue to renew expiring
licenses, and any such non-renewal would require the Company to obtain revenue
from other sources in order to achieve its revenue targets. A decrease in the
Company's license renewal rate without offsetting revenue from other sources
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations, and financial condition.
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company's future success depends to a significant extent on Mr.
Trefler, its other executive officers, and certain technical, managerial,
consulting, and sales and marketing personnel The loss of the services of any of
these individuals or group of individuals could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition. None of
the Company's executive officers has entered into an employment contract with
the Company, although each is subject to a non-disclosure and non-competition
agreement with the Company. The Company does not have, and is not contemplating
securing, any significant amount of key-man life insurance on any of its
executive officers or other key employees. The Company believes that its future
success also will depend significantly upon its ability to attract, motivate,
and retain additional highly skilled technical, managerial, consulting, and
sales and marketing personnel. In particular, delays in hiring and training
qualified sales personnel would adversely affect the Company's operating results
due to the substantial time period between the identification of new customers
and the successful implementation and acceptance of the Company's products by
those customers. Because developing, selling, and maintaining the Company's
products requires extensive knowledge of computer hardware and operating
systems, programming languages, and application software, the number of
qualified potential employees is limited. Moreover, competition for such
personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to continue to
grow and operate profitably.
Intense Competition
The market for customer relationship management software and related
consulting and training
Page 21
<PAGE>
services is relatively new, intensely competitive and highly fragmented. The
Company encounters significant competition from internal information systems
departments of potential or existing customers that develop custom software. The
Company also competes with companies that target the customer interaction or
workflow markets, and professional services organizations that develop custom
software in conjunction with rendering consulting services. Such competitors
vary in size and in the scope and breadth of products and services offered. The
Company anticipates increased competition for market share and pressure to
reduce prices and make sales concessions, which could materially and adversely
affect the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
Many of the Company's competitors have greater resources than the Company,
and may be able to respond more quickly and efficiently to new or emerging
technologies, programming languages or standards, or to changes in customer
requirements or preferences. Many of the Company's competitors can devote
greater managerial or financial resources than the Company can to develop,
promote, and distribute customer service management software products and
provide related consulting and training services. There can be no assurance that
the Company's current or future competitors will not develop products or
services which may be superior in one or more respects to the Company's or which
may gain greater market acceptance. Some of the Company's competitors have
established or may establish cooperative arrangements or strategic alliances
among themselves or with third parties, thus enhancing their abilities to
compete with the Company. It is likely that new competitors will emerge and
rapidly acquire market share. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the
competitive pressures faced by the Company will not materially and adversely
affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.
Management of Growth
The growth in the size, geographic scope and complexity of the Company's
business and the expansion of its product offerings and customer base have
placed, and are expected to continue to place, a significant strain on the
Company's management, operations, and capital needs. The Company's continued
growth, if any, will require it to hire, train, and retain many employees both
in the United States and abroad, particularly additional sales and financial
personnel, and will also require the Company to enhance its financial and
managerial controls and reporting systems. There is no assurance that the
Company can manage its growth effectively or that the Company will be able to
attract and retain the necessary personnel to meet its business challenges. If
the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected.
Risks Associated with International Operations; Currency and Other Risks
Sales to customers headquartered outside of the United States
represented approximately 17.7% and 16.5% of the Company's total revenue in 1996
and 1997, respectively. The Company, in part through its wholly-owned subsidiary
based in the United Kingdom, markets products and renders consulting and
training services to customers based in Canada, the United Kingdom, France,
Switzerland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, and Sweden and is in negotiations with
potential customers based in other foreign countries. The Company established
additional offices in continental Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Company
believes that its continued growth will necessitate expanded international
operations requiring a diversion of managerial attention and financial
resources. The Company anticipates hiring additional personnel to accommodate
international growth, and the
Page 22
<PAGE>
Company may also enter into agreements with local distributors, representatives,
or resellers. If the Company is unable to do one or more of these things in a
timely manner, the Company's growth, if any, in its foreign operations will be
restricted, and the Company's business, operating results, and financial
condition could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
maintain or increase international market demand for its products. Most of the
Company's international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, any
appreciation of the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies of those
countries in which the Company distributes its products may place the Company at
a competitive disadvantage by effectively making its products more expensive as
compared to those of its competitors.
Additional risks inherent in the Company's international business
activities generally include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
increased tariffs and other trade barriers, the costs of localizing products for
local markets and complying with local business customs, longer accounts
receivable patterns and difficulties in collecting foreign accounts receivable,
difficulties in enforcing contractual and intellectual property rights,
heightened risks of political and economic instability, the possibility of
nationalization or expropriation of industries or properties, difficulties in
managing international operations, potentially adverse tax consequences
(including restrictions on repatriating earnings and the threat of "double
taxation"), enhanced accounting and internal control expenses, and the burden of
complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. There can be no assurance that
one or more of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's foreign operations, and, consequentially, the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Impact of Year 2000 Issue
The "Year 2000 Issue" refers to the problems associated with computer
programs having been written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. The Company has performed an assessment of the software it uses
internally and the software it licenses to customers and such assessment has not
revealed any major outstanding problems in this regard. There can be no
assurance that such problems will not develop or be revealed in the future which
could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results,
and financial condition.
Reliance on Certain Relationships
The Company has a number of third party relationships that are significant
to its sales, marketing and support activities and product development efforts.
The Company relies upon relational database management systems applications and
development tool vendors, software and hardware vendors, and consultants to
provide marketing and sales opportunities for the Company's direct sales force,
and strengthen its product offerings through the use of industry-standard tools
and utilities. The Company has also recently begun establishing relationships
with third parties that will distribute the Company's products. In particular,
the Company's relationship with First Data Corporation is central to its
distribution of products to several markets. The Company's strategy in entering
into these relationships is to keep pace with the technological and marketing
developments of major software vendors, to acquire technical assistance for the
Company's product development efforts, and to leverage the Company's sales and
marketing capabilities. There can be no assurance that these companies, most of
which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than the
Page 23
<PAGE>
Company, will not develop or market software products which compete with the
Company's products in the future or will not otherwise discontinue their
relationships with or support of the Company. The failure of the Company to
maintain its existing relationships, or to establish new relationships in the
future, because of a divergence of interests, acquisition of one or more of
these third parties, or for any other reason, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
PART II
Item 5 MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The information required by this item may be found in the section entitled
"Stock Price History and Related Stockholder Matters," in the Company's 1997
Annual Report to Stockholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
Initial Public Offering Proceeds
The Company completed an initial public offering of 3.4 million shares of
its common stock on July 24, 1996 at a price to the public of $12.00 per share,
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No 3313-3807)
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 1996.
The managing underwriters for the offering were Goldman Sachs & Co., Cowen and
Company, and Montgomery Securities. Of the 3.4 million shares of common stock
sold in the offering, 2.7 million were sold by the Company and 0.7 million were
sold by stockholders of the Company, resulting in net proceeds to the Company
and selling stockholders of $29.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. None
of the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the offering (which
expenses including the underwriting discount totaled approximately $3.5 million)
were paid, directly or indirectly, to directors or officers of the Company or
their associates, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity
securities of the Company or to affiliates of the Company. The proceeds have

additional to such aforementioned $25,000 and shall be borne by Pegasystems.

permitted transfer, division or combination of, or in substitution for, such
Original Warrant or any other such Warrant. All Warrants shall at all times be

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1. Manner of Exercise. (a) From time to time during the Exercise Period,
a Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (subject to Section
2.2 below and provided that no exercise shall be for fewer than 10,000 shares of
Common Stock). In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, a Holder
shall (i) deliver to Pegasystems (at the notice address provided for in Section
13.2) a written notice of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant (an
"Exercise Notice"), which Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable and specify the
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, together with this Warrant and
(ii) pay to Pegasystems the Warrant Price as provided in Section 2.l(c) below
(the date on which both such delivery and payment shall have first taken place
being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Date"). Such Exercise
Notice shall be in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of
this Warrant as Annex A, duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized
agent or attorney.
(b) Upon receipt of such Exercise Notice, Warrant and payment, Pegasystems
shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business
Days thereafter, cause to be executed and delivered to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a
share (as provided in Section 2.2). The stock certificate or certificates so
delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or
denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise
Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as
shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of
8
<PAGE>
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, Pegasystems shall, at the time of delivery of
the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being
issued, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder
to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant.
Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(c) Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made at the option of the Holder
either (i) by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer
to an account designated by Pegasystems, in either case in immediately available
funds in the amount of such Warrant Price, or (ii) by instructing Pegasystems to
withhold a number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such Warrant Price (the
"Cashless Exercise Option"). In the event of any such withholding of Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant where the number of shares whose
Fair Value is equal to the Warrant Price is not a whole number, the number of
shares withheld by Pegasystems shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share
and Pegasystems shall make a cash payment to the Holder based on the incremental
fraction of a share being so withheld by Pegasystems in an amount determined in
accordance with Section 2.2.
2.2. Fractional Shares. Pegasystems shall not be required to deliver any
fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share that the Holder of this Warrant would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon any such exercise, Pegasystems shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair
Value of one share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date.
2.3. Continued Validity and Application. A Holder of shares of Common Stock
(or any Substitute Property) issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole
or in part, including any transferee of such shares (or such Substitute
Property), shall continue, with respect to such shares (or such Substitute
Property), to be entitled to all rights and to be subject to all obligations
that are applicable to such Holder by the terms of this Warrant (all of which
rights and obligations shall survive the exercise of this Warrant), including
without limitation the provisions of Section 7. Pegasystems shall, at the time
of any exercise of this Warrant or any transfer of such Common Stock (or
Substitute Property), upon the request of such Holder, acknowledge in writing,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, their continuing
obligations to afford to such Holder such rights referred to in this Section
2.3; provided, however, that if such Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of Pegasystems to afford
to such Holder all such rights.
3. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable,
and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant, shall be adjusted from time to
9
<PAGE>
time as set forth in this Section 3.
3.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time after
the Original Issue Date Pegasystems shall:
(i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of, additional shares of Common Stock
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of such Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of such Common Stock
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such event multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Fully Diluted Outstanding
Common Stock immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which is
equal to the number of shares of Fully Diluted Outstanding Common Stock
immediately after such adjustment. The adjustments described in this Section 3.1
shall be made whenever any of the events set forth herein occurs and shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of any such event,
retroactive to the record date therefor with respect to any exercise of this
Warrant after such record date.
3.2. Distributions of Evidences of Indebtedness or Other Assets. (a) If at
any time after the Original Issue Date Pegasystems shall issue or transfer as a
dividend or distribution to the holders of the Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or other assets (including securities of Pegasystems or any other
issuer but excluding (i) any dividend paid in cash out of earnings or out of any
surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which Pegasystems is incorporated at the time of such dividend (other than an
extraordinary or special dividend) and (ii) any dividend or distribution subject
to Section 3.1), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product
of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Fair Value per
share of the Common Stock as of the record date for such distribution less the
Fair Distribution Value per share of Common Stock of the evidences of
indebtedness or other assets distributed and the denominator of which is equal
to the Fair Value per share of the Common Stock as of such record date.
(b) If at any time after the Original Issue Date Pegasystems shall issue or
transfer as a dividend or distribution to the holders of any class of
Non-Preferred Stock other than Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or
other assets (including securities of Pegasystems or any other issuer but
excluding (i) any dividend paid in cash out of earnings or out of any surplus
legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
Pegasystems is incorporated at the time of such dividend (other than an
extraordinary or special dividend) and (ii) any dividend or distribution subject
10
<PAGE>
to Section 3.1), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product
of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Fair Value per
share of the Common Stock as of the "ex-dividend" date for such dividend or
distribution and the denominator of which is equal to the Fair Value per share
of the Common Stock immediately prior to such "ex-dividend" date.
(c) The adjustments described in this Section shall be made whenever any of
the events set forth herein occurs and shall become effective immediately after
the effective date of any such event, retroactive to the record date therefor
with respect to any exercise of this Warrant after such record date.
3.3. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable. Upon any adjustment of the
Exercise Price as provided in Section 3.1 or 3.2, the Holder shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase upon the exercise of this Warrant, at the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock (calculated
to the nearest 1/lOOth of a share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable on the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment
and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
3.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition
of Assets. If at any time after the Original Issue Date Pegasystems shall
reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock consolidate or merge with
or into another corporation (where Pegasystems is not the surviving entity or
where there is any change whatsoever in, or distribution with respect to, the
outstanding Common Stock of Pegasystems), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another
Person and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of capital stock of the
successor or acquiring entity or of Pegasystems (if it is the surviving entity)
or any cash or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) ("Substitute Property") are
to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of Pegasystems
who are holders immediately prior to such transaction then the Holder of this
Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with Section 2, the amount of Substitute Property
receivable as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event. In such event, the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
event (as it may be adjusted) shall be allocated among the items of Substitute
Property receivable as a result of such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets (and, to the extent still
applicable, the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to such transaction) in proportion to the respective fair
market values of such items of Substitute Property (and such shares of Common
Stock) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or Chief Financial
Officer of Pegasystems, subject to the right of the Majority Holders to
challenge such allocation under Section 13.8. In case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
11
<PAGE>
assets, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than Pegasystems) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by
Pegasystems and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder (including,
without limitation, its obligations under Section 7), subject to such
modifications as may be reasonably agreed upon by Pegasystems (or the successor
or acquiring entity) and the Majority Holders in order to provide for
appropriate antidilution adjustments with respect to any equity securities
included in such Substitute Property, which modifications shall be as equivalent
as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. Alternatively,
upon the request of the Holder of this Warrant accompanied by the surrender of
this Warrant, such successor or acquiring entity shall issue in its own name a
new Warrant reflecting such modifications. The foregoing provisions of this
Section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassification,
mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
3.5. Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the
other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but as to which
the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and
principles hereof, then, upon the written request of the Majority Holders,
Pegasystems shall determine what adjustments, if any, are required to be made to
the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established herein as a result of such event in order to preserve the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant, which determination shall be made
by the Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer of Pegasystems. Pegasystems
shall give the Holders written notice of such determination within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the request of the Majority Holders, which Majority
Holders shall have the right to challenge such determination pursuant to Section
13.8. Pegasystems shall promptly take any actions necessary to implement the
adjustments provided for in its determination or, in the event of a challenge to
such determination by the Majority Holders, the determination agreed to by
Pegasystems and such Majority Holders or the determination of the Independent
Financial Expert that results from the procedures contemplated in Section 13.8.
3.6. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the adjustments provided for
pursuant to this Section 3:
(a) When Adjustment to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 3 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business
on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section
3, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the
nearest 1/lOOth of a share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If Pegasystems shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution and shall, thereafter and before the
distribution to stock-holders thereof, legally
12
<PAGE>
abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then
thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such
record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be
rescinded and annulled.
(d) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Pegasystems agrees not to enter into any transaction that, by
reason of any adjustment under this Section 3, would cause the Exercise
Price to be less than the par value of the Common Stock if any, unless
Pegasystems first reduces the par value of the Common Stock to be less than
the Exercise Price that would result from such transaction.
(e) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, Pegasystems shall forthwith prepare a
certificate to be executed by the Chief Financial Officer or General
Counsel of Pegasystems setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section
3.6) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or
Substitute Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any related
change in the Exercise Price, after giving effect to such adjustment or
change. Pegasystems shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate
to be delivered to each Holder in accordance with Section 13.2.
(f) Record Date. In case Pegasystems shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Non-Preferred Stock
Convertible Securities or Stock Purchase Rights or (ii) to subscribe for or
purchase Non-Preferred Stock Convertible Securities or Stock Purchase
Rights, then all references in this Section 3 to the date of the issuance
or sale of such shares of Non-Preferred Stock Convertible Securities or
Stock Purchase Rights shall be deemed to be references to such record date.
(g) Maximum Exercise Price. Except as provided in Section 3.1 above,
at no time shall the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock exceed the
amount set forth in the first paragraph of the preamble of this Warrant.
4. NO IMPAIRMENT
Pegasystems shall not, by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its charter documents or through any reorganization, reclassification,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other similar voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder hereunder against impairment. Without limiting the
13
<PAGE>
generality of the foregoing, Pegasystems shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that it may validly and legally deliver fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon the exercise of
this Warrant, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
5. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
From and after the Original Issue Date, Pegasystems shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issuance to the Holder pursuant to such exercise
such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant. All shares of Common
Stock purchasable pursuant to the terms hereof, when delivered to the Holder
upon exercise of this Warrant with payment therefor in accordance with the terms
hereof, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, not
subject to preemptive rights and shall be free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
6. TRANSFERS OF WARRANT AND RESTRICTED STOCK; DIVISION OR COMBINATION OF
WARRANTS
6.1. Warrant Transfer Procedures. Subject to compliance with this Section
6, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to transfer or assign its
interest in this Warrant in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates. Each
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be registered on the
books to be maintained by or on behalf of Pegasystems for such purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the Designated Office, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant in the form of Annex B hereto duly executed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and delivery, Pegasystems
shall, subject to Section 6.3, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned and this Warrant shall
promptly be canceled. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with Section
6.3, may be exercised by the new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common
Stock without having a new Warrant issued in its name.
6.2. Division and Combination. Subject to compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants without cost to the Holder thereof upon presentation of this Warrant at
the Designated Office, together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of
this Warrant as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, Pegasystems shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice.
6.3. Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Prior to the commencement of the
Exercise Period, this Warrant may not be assigned, pledged or Transferred by any
Holder to any Person other than an Affiliate of FDR (or its or their
successors).
14
<PAGE>
(b) Whether prior to the commencement of or during the Exercise Period,
neither this Warrant nor any shares of Restricted Stock issued upon the exercise
hereof shall be Transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration
provisions thereof and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.
No Transfer of this Warrant or any such shares of Restricted Stock to any Person
(other than (i) a Transfer pursuant to such an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or (ii) a Transfer to an Affiliate of the transferring
Holder of such securities in compliance with the requirements set forth below)
shall be valid or effective unless such Holder shall have first delivered to
Pegasystems a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to Pegasystems (which
opinion may be given by either in-house or outside counsel with expertise in
such securities laws) to the effect that the proposed Transfer is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that any state
securities laws requirements applicable to such Transfer are being complied
with. A Transfer of this Warrant or such shares of Restricted Stock may be made
by any Holder thereof to an Affiliate of such Holder without delivery of such a
legal opinion if such Affiliate shall first have delivered to Pegasystems an
officer's certificate signed by a senior officer of such Affiliate to the effect
that such Affiliate is acquiring such securities for investment only and not
with a view to distribution thereof (excluding a possible Transfer pursuant to
available exemptions under applicable federal and state securities laws);
provided that if within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such
certificate Pegasystems notifies the transferring Holder that Pegasystems has
reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with counsel with
expertise in the applicable securities laws, that a substantial uncertainty
exists as to whether the proposed Transfer of such securities to such Affiliate
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or complies
with any applicable state securities laws, the transferring Holder may not
complete the proposed Transfer to such Affiliate unless such Holder first
delivers to Pegasystems a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to Pegasystems
(which opinion may be given by either in-house or outside counsel expert in such
securities laws) to the effect that the proposed Transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and that any applicable state
securities laws requirements are being complied with. Each certificate, if any,
evidencing such shares of Restricted Stock issued upon any such Transfer, other
than in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement, shall
bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 6.4(a) below, and each Warrant
issued upon such Transfer shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section
6.4(b), unless the Holder delivers to Pegasystems a legal opinion (which opinion
may be given by either in-house or outside counsel with expertise in such
securities laws) reasonably satisfactory to Pegasystems to the effect that such
legend is not required for the purposes of compliance with the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws. Holders of a Warrant or the Restricted
Stock, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to Transfer such Warrant or
such Restricted Stock except in accordance with this Section 6.3(b).
6.4. Restrictive Legends. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section
6, each certificate for Restricted Stock initially issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant, and each certificate for Restricted Stock issued to any subsequent
transferee of any such certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with
a legend in substantially the following form:
15
<PAGE>
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. NO TRANSFER OF THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE VALID OR
EFFECTIVE UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE WANT
UNDER WHICH SUCH SHARES WERE ISSUED."
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, each Warrant shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
"NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES PURCHASABLE
UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAW. NO TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE VALID
OR EFFECTIVE UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS
WARRANT."
6.5. Termination of Securities Law Restrictions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6, the restrictions imposed by Section
6.3(b) on the transferability of this Warrant and Restricted Stock and the
legend requirements of Section 6.4 shall terminate as to any particular Warrant
or shares of Restricted Stock when Pegasystems shall have received from the
Holder thereof a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Pegasystems to the
effect that such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Whenever the
restrictions imposed by Sections 6.3(b) shall terminate as to this Warrant, as
hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive a new
Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive legend set
forth hereon:
"THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN WARRANT
CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 6.3(b) AND 6.4 TERMINATED ON
_____________, _________, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND
EFFECT."
Each Warrant issued upon registration of transfer of any Warrant entitled to
bear such legend shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Wherever the
restrictions imposed by this Section shall terminate as to any share of
Restricted Stock as hereinabove provided, the Holder thereof shall be entitled
to receive a new certificate representing such Common Stock not bearing the
restrictive legend set forth in Section 6.4(a).
16
<PAGE>
6.6. Maintenance of Books. Pegasystems agrees to maintain, at the
Designated Office, books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant.
6.7. Rule 144 Current Information. Pegasystems shall use its best efforts
to at all times make public information available and to take such other actions
as the Holders of this Warrant or shares of Restricted Stock may reasonably
request so as to afford such Holders the benefits of Rule 144 in connection with
resales.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
7.1. Demand Registration Rights.
(a) Demand Registration. At any time during the Exercise Period, the
Holders of all of the outstanding Registrable Securities ("Demanding Holders")
may give Pegasystems written notice that such Demanding Holders desire to sell
Registrable Securities in a transaction involving a public distribution.
Promptly after receipt of such notice, Pegasystems and the Demanding Holders
shall discuss the feasibility of arranging for a sale of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144 that would enable such Demanding Holders to
dispose of such Registrable Securities within a single thirty-day distribution
period commencing not later than thirty (30) days after the date of such written
notice and with respect to which the Demanding Holders would not be required to
register and would be permitted to freely sell such Registrable Securities under
any applicable state securities laws (a "Non-Registered Distribution"). If
required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 for such a
Non-Registered Distribution, the Holders shall utilize the Cashless Exercise
Option in acquiring the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Registered
Distribution. However, the Demanding Holders may at any time following the
initiation of such discussions request in writing (a "Demand Request") that
Pegasystems file with the Commission a registration statement under the
Securities Act for a public offering of such Registrable Securities (a "Demand
Registration") and Pegasystems shall be obligated to prepare and file such
registration statement on the terms and conditions set forth below unless,
within ten (10) days after the receipt of such Demand Request, Pegasystems
either (i) (A) delivers to the Demanding Holders an unqualified opinion in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Demanding Holders of nationally
recognized counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Demanding Holders and with
expertise in securities laws concluding that the Demanding Holders may sell the
Registrable Securities subject to the Demand Request in a Non-Registered
Distribution without violating and in accordance with applicable securities laws
and (B) agrees to indemnify such Demanding Holders against any Damages suffered
or incurred by such Demanding Holders directly or indirectly resulting from such
opinion proving to be incorrect in whole or in part or (ii) elects to exercise
its Call Right with respect to such Registrable Securities. If the conditions
described in either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence are met,
Pegasystems shall have no obligation to take any further action under this
Section 7 with respect to such Demand Request. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained herein, Pegasystems shall have no obligation to effect a
Demand Registration unless all Registrable Securities are included therein.
17
<PAGE>
(b) Notice of Request for Registration. Within ten (10) days after delivery
of a Demand Request, Pegasystems shall give notice of such Demand Request to all
Holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such Demand Registration
all Registrable Securities with respect to which Pegasystems has received
written requests from such Holders for inclusion within fifteen (15) Business
Days after such notice is given. All requests for inclusion of Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 7.1 (b), as well as the initial Demand
Request, shall specify the aggregate number of the Registrable Securities of
each Holder to be registered and also shall specify the intended methods of
disposition thereof (including without limitation whether such offering is to be
an underwritten offering).
(c) Pegasystem's Right to Postpone Registration. In the event that
Pegasystems receives a Demand Request during the Lock-Up Period applicable to
any underwritten registered offering of Common Stock Convertible Securities or
Stock Purchase Rights (so long as Pegasystems has complied with its obligations
under Section 7.2 in respect of such offering), Pegasystems shall have the right
to postpone the Demand Registration until the expiration of such Lock-Up Period.
In addition Pegasystems shall have the right to postpone the filing of any
Demand Registration for a reasonable period not to exceed 120 days if at any
time prior to such filing (A) Pegasystems has decided to effect a public
offering of Non-Preferred Stock Convertible Securities or Stock Purchase Rights
or (B) if Pegasystems's Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer has
reasonably determined in good faith that the disclosures required to be made in
such Demand Registration or the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant
thereto would prejudice in any significant respect any significant financing,
acquisition or other transaction then pending or planned by Pegasystems or any
of its Subsidiaries. Pegasystems shall give the Demanding Holders written notice
of any such postponement, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate
signed by the Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of Pegasystems
certifying as to the existence of the prerequisites for such postponement. The
Demanding Holders may withdraw their Demand Request at any time between the date
of such notice and the end of the applicable postponement period, in which case
no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to such Demand
Request for the purposes of paragraph (d) below. If the Demand Request is not so
withdrawn upon expiration of the applicable postponement period, Pegasystems
shall proceed with the requested Demand Registration on the terms and conditions
set forth below. Pegasystems may exercise its postponement right under this
paragraph (c) only once with respect to any Demand Request. If Pegasystems
postpones a Demand Registration with respect to which a Demand Request was given
prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period and such Demand Request is not
withdrawn by the Demanding Holders, the Exercise Period shall be extended
automatically until the expiration of the registration period provided for below
or, if greater, by a number of days equal to the number of days in the
postponement period.
(d) Holders Limited to One Demand Registration. Pegasystems shall be
obligated to effect no more than one Demand Registration in total. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, registration shall not be deemed to have been
effected (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become
effective, (ii) if after such registration statement has become effective, such
registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable
Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or
18
<PAGE>
court for any reason not attributable to the Selling Holders and such
interference is not thereafter eliminated or (iii) if the conditions to closing
specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with
such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure
on the part of the Selling Holders. Subject to the foregoing, if Pegasystems
shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 7, a right to demand
a registration pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be deemed to have been
satisfied upon the earlier of (x) the date as of which all of the Registrable
Securities included therein shall have been disposed of pursuant to the
registration statement and (y) the date as of which such Demand Registration
shall have been Continuously Effective for a period of 60 days, provided that if
any Registrable Securities remain unsold as of the end of such 60-day period for
reasons beyond the reasonable control of the Selling Holders, such Selling
Holders may by written notice to Pegasystems abandon such Demand Registration,
in which case the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to one
additional Demand Registration under this Section 7.1 (but in no event shall
Pegasystems be required to effect more than one such additional Demand
Registration) but only if such Selling Holders first agree in writing to
promptly reimburse Pegasystems for all Registration Expenses incurred by
Pegasystems in connection with such additional Demand Registration.
(e) Effective Registration Expenses. Subject to the proviso in the last
sentence of paragraph (d) above, in any registration initiated as a Demand
Registration, Pegasystems will pay all Registration Expenses whether or not the
registration has become effective.
(f) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriters of a
Demand Registration, in good faith, advise Pegasystems in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities proposed to be sold in such Demand Registration
exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering or that such number of
securities could only be sold if the selling price anticipated to be received by
the Selling Holders would have to be reduced, Pegasystems will include in such
Demand Registration (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holders, pro
rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable
Securities then owned by them, after assuming the exercise of the outstanding
Warrants; (ii) second, any securities to be issued and sold by Pegasystems and
(iii) last, any securities held by all other Persons, pro rata among such
Persons on the basis of the number of shares proposed to be so registered by
them.
(g) Limitations on Right of Pegasystems or Other Persons to Piggyback on
Demand Registrations. Neither Pegasystems nor any Person owning any of its
securities (other than the Holders of Warrants and Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrants) shall have the right to include any of Pegasystems's
securities in a registration statement initiated as a Demand Registration under
this Section 7.1, unless (i) such securities are of the same class as the
Registrable Securities being registered and (ii) if such Demand Registration is
an underwritten offering, Pegasystems or such Persons, as applicable, agree in
writing to sell their securities on the same terms and conditions as apply to
the Registrable Securities being sold. If any Persons owning securities of
Pegasystems (other than the Holders of Registrable Securities in such capacity)
register securities of Pegasystems in a Demand Registration, such Persons shall
pay the fees and expenses of counsel to such Persons and their pro rata share of
the Registration Expenses if the Registration Expenses are
19
<PAGE>
not paid by Pegasystems for any reason. Pegasystems covenants that it shall not
grant any registration rights to any Person which rights would conflict or be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.1(g).
(h) Selection of Underwriters and Counsel, Etc. If a Demand Registration
involves an underwritten offering: (i) the Majority Selling Holders shall be
entitled to select the managing underwriter to administer the offering, subject
to the approval of Pegasystems (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and (ii) the Majority Selling Holders shall have the right to select
the counsel to represent the Selling Holders. The underwriting agreements for
any Registration involving an underwritten offering shall require that the
underwriters purchase all Warrants properly included by the Selling Holders in a
Demand Registration at the closing of the public offering, at a purchase price
equal to the aggregate public offering price for the Registrable Securities
covered by such Warrants less the aggregate Exercise Price therefor and less
applicable underwriters' discounts and commissions.
7.2. Piggyback Registration. If Pegasystems proposes or is required to file
a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by
Pegasystems for its own account and/or for the account of others of any class of
equity security (including any Convertible Securities or Stock Purchase Rights),
other than a registration statement on Form S4 or Form S-8 (or any successor
form) or filed in connection with any exchange offer or an offering of
securities solely to Pegasystems existing stockholders or a registration
statement filed pursuant to Section 7.1, then Pegasystems shall in each case
promptly give notice of such proposed filing to all Holders at least 10 Business
Days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer such
Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable
Securities held by such Holders as such Holders may request by written notice
given to Pegasystems within 10 days after receipt of such notice (a "Piggyback
Registration"); provided that Pegasystems may at any time withdraw or cease
proceeding with any Piggyback Registration described in this Section 7.2 if it
shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of
such other securities originally proposed to be registered. Pegasystems shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause the underwriter of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit such Holders to include the specified
Registrable Securities of such Holders in such offering on the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of Pegasystems included therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the underwriter of such offering delivers a
written opinion to the Holders that the number of securities which such Holders,
Pegasystems and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the
number that can be sold in such offering or that such number of securities could
only be sold if the selling price anticipated to be received would have to be
reduced then the amount to be offered shall be reduced, first, pro rata among
the Holders and any other Persons proposing to register securities (other than a
Person for whom Pegasystems is making a required registration) on the basis of
the number of shares proposed to be registered by them and, second, out of the
securities proposed to be registered by Pegasystems or any Persons for whom
Pegasystems is making a required registration, to the extent necessary to reduce
the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount
recommended by such managing underwriter.
20
<PAGE>
7.3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever Pegasystems is required by
the provisions of this Section 7 to effect or cause the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, Pegasystems will use its best
efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as
practicable; provided, that Pegasystems shall not be required to honor any
request for registration under Section 7.2 if such request is received by
Pegasystems later than 30 Business Days after the date Pegasystems first
notifies the Holders of such registration. In connection with any such
registration Pegasystems will:
(a) within a reasonable time, 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
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less
than 60 days, or such shorter period as may be required if all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement are sold prior to the
expiration of said 60-day period; and comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration
statement;
(b) prior to filing a registration statement, furnish to each Selling
Holder, managing underwriter or agent, copies of such registration statement as
proposed to be filed, and thereafter such number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all
exhibits thereto), the prospectus included in the registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such Selling
Holder, managing underwriter or agent may reasonably request, and will furnish
to the managing underwriter, for each underwriter participating in an
underwritten offering, one conformed copy of such registration statement as
originally filed and each amendment thereto (including documents incorporated by
reference into the related prospectus);
(c) deliver to each Selling Holder and each underwriter or agent
participating in such offering, without charge, as many copies of each
preliminary prospectus as such Selling Holder or underwriter or agent may
reasonably request, and consent to the use of such copies for purposes permitted
by the Securities Act; deliver to each such Selling Holder and underwriter and
agent participating in such offering, without charge, from time to time during
the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, such number of copies of the prospectus (as supplemented or amended) as
such Selling Holder or such underwriter or agent may reasonably request;
(d) use its best efforts promptly to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
any Selling Holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things
which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
21
<PAGE>
owned by such Selling Holder; provided, that for any such purpose Pegasystems
will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 7.3(d),
(ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use its best efforts promptly to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the
business and operations of Pegasystems to enable the Selling Holders thereof to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(f) immediately notify the Selling Holders and the managing underwriter or
agent, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when a registration statement, or
any post-effective amendment to such registration statement shall have become
effective, or any supplement to the related prospectus or any amended prospectus
shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission,
(iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the registration statement or
amend or supplement the prospectus or for additional information, (iv) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any
preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the
registered securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the
institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes and (v)
if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be
delivered in connection with sales of the registered securities any
representation and warranty of Pegasystems contemplated by Section 7.3(g) ceases
to be true and correct;
(g) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to
be delivered in connection with sales of the Warrants and Registrable Securities
any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary,
in the opinion of counsel for the Selling Holders, counsel for the underwriters
or agents or counsel for Pegasystems, to amend the registration statement
covering such Registrable Securities or amend or supplement the related
prospectus in order that such prospectus will not include an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at
the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the
opinion of any of such counsel, at any such time to amend such registration
statement or amend or supplement the related prospectus in order to comply with
the requirements of the Securities Act, promptly prepare and file such amendment
or supplement as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission
or to make such registration statement or the related prospectus comply with
such requirements;
(h) use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such
order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time;
22
<PAGE>
(i) not at any time file or make any amendment to a registration statement,
or any amendment of or supplement to a related prospectus (including amendments
of the documents incorporated by reference into such prospectus), of which the
Selling Holders or the managing underwriter or agent shall not have been
previously advised and furnished a copy, or to which such Selling Holders, the
managing underwriter or agent or counsel for any of the foregoing shall
reasonably object;
(j) enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in
customary form) and take such other actions (including without limitation making
such representations and warranties to the Selling Holders, the underwriters and
agents, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers
to underwriters and agents in primary underwritten public offerings) as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities, and shall use its best efforts to cause such
underwriters to agree in such customary agreements to purchase from any Holder
who so requests its Warrants in connection with such underwritten public
offering (without requiring any such Holder to exercise its Warrant for Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants);
(k) make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any managing
underwriter or agent participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
any such Selling Holder, underwriter or agent (collectively, the "Inspectors"),
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
Pegasystems (collectively, the "Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to
enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause
Pegasystems's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Inspectors in connection with such registration
statement, provided that Pegasystems shall not be required to disclose any such
Records to any Inspector that has not executed a confidentiality agreement in
substantially the form attached as Annex C;
(l) on the effective day of a registration statement or, in the case of an
underwritten offering, on the date of delivery of the Registrable Securities
sold pursuant thereto, cause to be delivered to the Selling Holders and the
underwriters or agents, if any, opinions of counsel for Pegasystems, which
counsel, and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to counsel for the Selling Holders, covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions given to underwriters in primary underwritten
public offerings; immediately prior to the effectiveness of a registration
statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering, at the time of delivery
of any Registrable Securities sold pursuant thereto, cause to be delivered to
the Selling Holders and the underwriters or agents, if any, letters from
Pegasystems's independent public accountants stating that such accountants are
independent public accountants with respect to Pegasystems within the meaning of
the Securities Act, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial
and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of the independent
public accountants delivered in connection with primary underwritten public
offerings;
(m) Each Selling Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
Pegasystems of the
23
<PAGE>
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(g), such Selling
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 7.3(g), and, if so directed by Pegasystems, such Selling
Holder will deliver to Pegasystems all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in such Selling Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the
event Pegasystems shall give any such notice, Pegasystems shall extend the
period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 7.3(g) to
and including the date when each Selling Holder shall have received the copies
of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.3(g).
7.4. Registration Expenses. All reasonable expenses incident to
Pegasystems's performance of compliance with Sections 7.1 through 7.4, including
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of
compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the
Registrable Securities), rating agency fees, printing expenses (including
without limitation, expenses of printing prospectuses), messenger and delivery
expenses, internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties),
the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities
to be registered on each securities exchange on which this Agreement requires
such securities to be listed, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
Pegasystems and its independent certified public accountants (including without
limitation the expenses of any special audit or "cold comfort" letters required
by or incident to such performance), securities acts liability insurance (in the
event Pegasystems elects to obtain such insurance), the reasonable fees and
expenses of any special experts retained by Pegasystems in connection with such
registration, reasonable fees and expenses of other Persons retained by
Pegasystems and any Selling Holders' Counsel Fees incurred in connection with
each registration hereunder (but not including any underwriting discounts or
commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities) (all such
expenses collectively the "Registration Expenses") will be borne by Pegasystems;
provided that in the event that (i) Pegasystems presents the Selling Holders in
any Demand Registration with a list of at least three nationally recognized
underwriters that have participated in securities offerings by Pegasystems
within two years prior to the date of the related Demand Request or who have
undertaken due diligence with respect to Pegasystems during such period in
connection with a merger, acquisition or other type of transaction, together
with an estimate of the due diligence expenses of each underwriter (and its
counsel) for the contemplated underwriting, (ii) such underwriters are ready,
willing and able to effect the underwriting of the Registrable Securities at the
time contemplated by the Selling Holders and (iii) the Majority Selling Holders
select a managing underwriter pursuant to Section 7.1(h) that is not on such
list, then the Selling Holders shall be required to pay the incremental due
diligence expenses of the underwriters and their counsel resulting from such
selection.
7.5. Indemnification: Contribution.
24
<PAGE>
(a) Indemnification by Pegasystems. Pegasystems agrees to indemnify, to the
full extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, its officers, directors and
agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the
Securities Act), and any investment advisor thereof or agent therefor, against
all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities and expenses (collectively,
"Damages") caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein (in the case of
a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any
information with respect to such Selling Holder furnished in writing to
Pegasystems by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein or by such Selling
Holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus
or any amendments or supplements thereto after Pegasystems has furnished or made
available to such Selling Holder a sufficient number of copies of the same.
Pegasystems will also indemnify the underwriters of the Registrable Securities,
their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Selling Holders. Pegasystems's
indemnity set forth in the preceding sentences of this Section 7.5(a) is subject
to the condition that, insofar as such indemnity relates to any untrue statement
or omission or any alleged untrue statement or omission made in a preliminary
prospectus but eliminated or remedied in a final prospectus, it shall not inure
to the benefit of any Selling Holder, its officers, directors and agents or any
Person who controls such Selling Holder, if a copy of the final prospectus was
not delivered by the Selling Holder to a Person purchasing from such Selling
Holder and asserting the claim at or prior to the time required by the
Securities Act, sufficient copies of such final prospectus were furnished or
made available to such Selling Holder and the delivery thereof to such Person
would have constituted a defense to the claim asserted by such Person.
(b) Indemnification by Selling Holders. In connection with any registration
statement in which a Selling Holder is participating, each such Person hereby
indemnifies, to the full extent permitted by law, Pegasystems, its directors,
officers and agents and each Person who controls Pegasystems (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) against any Damages resulting from any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit with respect to such Selling Holder furnished in
writing by such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in such registration
statement or prospectus.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to
indemnification under this Section 7.5 agrees to give prompt written notice to
the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof
made in writing for which such Person will claim indemnification or contribution
pursuant to this Section 7.5 and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the
indemnified party a conflict
25
<PAGE>
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party
with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume defense of
such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
provided, that the failure to so notify such indemnifying party shall not
relieve such party from any liability which it may have to such indemnified
party except to the extent that the failure to give notice is prejudicial to
such indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel (plus any required local counsel) with
respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified
party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any
other indemnified parties represented by such counsel with respect to such
claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees
and disbursements of one additional counsel (and any required local counsel) for
the indemnified party subject to such conflict of interest. The indemnifying
party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.5
from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder
(other than by reason of exception provided in Section 7.5(a) or (b)) in respect
of any Damages referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such
Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or related to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the Damages referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 7.5(c), any legal or other fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation
or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. If indemnification is
available under this Section 7.5, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each
indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 7.5(a) and (b) without
regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or
any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 7.5(d).
7.6. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate
in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell
such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to
26
<PAGE>
approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all powers of attorney,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements. Each Selling Holder participating in any
registration under this Section 7 agrees not to use any materials in connection
with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration other than
materials filed by Pegasystems with the Commission or, after such registration
becomes effective, otherwise publicly available.
8. CALL RIGHT
At any time between the receipt by Pegasystems of a Demand Request and the
effective date of the related registration statement, Pegasystems shall have the
right (the "Call Right") to purchase the Registrable Securities sought to be
included by the Selling Holders (or, if the Call Right is exercised within 10
days of such Demand Request, the Demanding Holders) in a Demand Registration, or
the Warrants under which such Registrable Securities are issuable (as
applicable) for a purchase price (the "Call Price") equal to the Fair Value of
such Registrable Securities, in each such case determined (i) if the Common
Stock is publicly traded at the time, in accordance with the definition of
"Current Market Price" and (ii) otherwise as of the date of the applicable Call
Notice; provided that to the extent that any such Warrants are to be
repurchased, the applicable Call Price shall be reduced by the amount of the
Exercise Price then in effect. Pegasystems may exercise such Call Right by
giving written notice of such exercise (a "Call Notice") to the applicable
Holders at any time within the time period specified above. The Call Price shall
be paid by Pegasystems to the applicable Holders within five (5) Business Days
after the applicable Call Price is determined by wire transfer to such accounts
as shall be designated by such Holders, and shall be accompanied by a
certificate setting forth Pegasystems's calculation of the Call Price.
9. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by Pegasystems from any Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
Pegasystems and, in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, Pegasystems will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of
like tenor to such Holder; provided, however, in the case of mutilation no
indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered
to Pegasystems for cancellation.
10. DESIGNATED OFFICE
As long as this Warrant remains outstanding, Pegasystems shall maintain an
office or agency (the "Designated Office"), where this Warrant may be presented
for exercise or registration of transfer as provided in this Warrant. Such
Designated Office shall initially be the office of Pegasystems at ADDRESS,
Attention: TITLE. Pegasystems may from time to time change the Designated Office
27
<PAGE>
to another office within the United States by notice given to the registered
holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective
date of such change.
11. SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
Until the earlier of the expiration of the Exercise Period or the Exercise
Date, Pegasystems shall deliver to the Holder of this Warrant one copy of each
annual report, proxy statement and each other document distributed by
Pegasystems generally to the holders of its Common Stock concurrently with the
delivery thereof to such shareholders. In addition, Pegasystems shall deliver to
such Holder copies of any report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed by
Pegasystems with the Commission promptly after such filing.
12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Pegasystems represents and warrants to each of the Holders that, as of the
Original Issue Date:
12.1. Subscriptions, Options, Etc. As of the Original Issue Date, no
subscription, warrant, option or other right to purchase or acquire any shares
of any class of capital stock of Pegasystems or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for any such shares, in each case issued by or binding upon
Pegasystems, is outstanding except: (i) the Original Warrant, and (ii) options
and other awards outstanding under Pegasystems' employee benefit plans.
12.2. Authority to Execute and Perform Agreement. It has all necessary
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations

<PAGE>
12.4. No Breach; No Contractual Restriction on Repurchase. Neither the
execution and delivery of this Warrant, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby (including without limitation the issuance of Common Stock
upon the exercise hereof), nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof

(i) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of Pegasystems, (ii) any
applicable law or regulation or (iii) any order, writ, injunction or decree of
any court or governmental authority or agency applicable to Pegasystems, or any
agreement or instrument to which Pegasystems is a party or by which Pegasystems

any such agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any
lien upon any of the revenues or assets of Pegasystems pursuant to the terms of
any such agreement or instrument.
12.5. Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no
filings or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or
agency on or prior to the Original Issue Date, which have not already been made
or obtained, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by
Pegasystems of this Warrant, the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated or for the validity or enforceability thereof.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1. Nonwaiver. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise
any right hereunder on the part of Pegasystems or any Holder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the rights, powers or remedies of
such Person.
13.2. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration,
delivery or communication hereunder to be made pursuant to the provisions of
this Warrant shall be sufficiently given or made if in writing and either
delivered in person with receipt acknowledged or sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
(i) if to any Holder of this Warrant or holder of Restricted Stock
issued upon the exercise hereof, at its last known address appearing on the
books of Pegasystems maintained for such purpose;
(ii) if to Pegasystems, at ADDRESS, Attention: TITLE;
or at such other address as may be substituted by notice given as herein
provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing
by the party entitled to receive such notice. Every notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder shall
be deemed to have been duly given or served on the date on which personally
delivered, with receipt acknowledged, or three (3) Business Days after the same
shall have been deposited in the United States mail, or one (1) Business Day
after the same shall have been delivered to Federal Express or another overnight
courier service.
29
<PAGE>
13.3. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by the Holder of this Warrant to purchase shares of Common
Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder
hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder to pay the Exercise
Price for any Common Stock other than pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or
any liability as a stockholder of Pegasystems, whether such liability is
asserted by Pegasystems or by creditors of Pegasystems.
13.4. Remedies. Each Holder of this Warrant, in addition to being entitled
to exercise its rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be
entitled to specific performance of its rights provided under this Warrant.
Pegasystems agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant
and hereby agree, in an action for specific performance, to waive the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
13.5. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, this
Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors of Pegasystems and the successors and permitted
assigns of the Holder hereof. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be
for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be
enforceable by any current Holder. In addition, the provisions of Section 7 and
any other provisions hereof that by their terms apply to Holders of Common Stock
issued upon exercise hereof shall survive any exercise of this Warrant and inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon such Holders and any transferees of such
Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the transfer of
this Warrant or shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant
other than to an Affiliate of FDR, the registration rights granted under this
Warrant shall be transferable only to Persons receiving under such transfer at
least 100,000 shares of Common Stock or the right to receive 100,000 shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.
13.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
13.7. Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience
of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
13.8. Right of Holders to Challenge Certain Determinations of Pegasystems.
The following provisions shall apply to any determination by the Board of
Directors or Chief Financial Officer of Pegasystems (the "Pegasystems
Determination") of (i) the Fair Value of any Non-Preferred Stock (ii) the Fair
Distribution Value of any dividend or distribution to the holders of any class
of NonPreferred Stock radii) the fair market value or allocation of any
consideration for the issuance of Non-Preferred Stock and (iv) any other
valuation, allocation or adjustment hereunder that is stated to be subject to
the right of the Majority Holders to challenge such determination pursuant to
this Section
30
<PAGE>
13.8. Upon the request of the Majority Holders, Pegasystems shall make available
to the Majority Holders such material information as the Majority Holders may
reasonably request relevant to the issue addressed by such Pegasystems
Determination; provided that Pegasystems shall not be required to disclose any
confidential information to any Holder that has not executed and delivered a
confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Annex C hereto or the
disclosure of which would violate any contractual or other legally binding
confidentiality restriction applicable to Pegasystems. If the Majority Holders
at any time believe that the Pegasystems Determination is inaccurate in a way
that disadvantages the Holders, they may propose an alternative valuation or
allocation (the "Holders' Determination") by written notice to Pegasystems
setting forth the basis for such Holders' Determination. Upon delivery of such
notice, Pegasystems and the Majority Holders shall negotiate in good faith for a
period of thirty (30) days in an effort to resolve the differences in valuation
or allocation represented by the Pegasystems Determination and the Holders'
Determination. If such differences are not resolved by agreement of Pegasystems
and the Majority Holders by the end of such thirty-day period, the Majority
Holders will have the right, exercisable by written notice to Pegasystems, to
require that such dispute be resolved by an Independent Financial Expert, who
shall be instructed to make its own independent determination of the valuation
or allocation in question (the "Expert's Determination"), which Expert's
Determination shall not be less favorable to the Holders than Pegasystems's
Determination nor more favorable to the Holders than the Holders' Determination.
The Expert shall be instructed to make its determination within sixty (60) days,
and its determination shall be final and binding on Pegasystems and all Holders
or Warrants and Common Stock. The reasonable fees and expenses of the
Independent Financial Expert shall be paid by Pegasystems if the Expert's
Determination is more than five percent (5%) closer to the Holders'
Determination than to Pegasystems's Determination, shall be paid by the Majority
Holders if the Expert's Determination is more than five percent (5%) closer to
Pegasystems's Determination than to the Holders' Determination, but shall be
shared equally by Pegasystems and the Majority Holders if the Expert's
Determination does not vary from the mean between Pegasystems's Determination
and the Holders' Determination by more than five percent (5%) of such mean.
Pending final resolution of the dispute by negotiation or by submission of the
dispute to an Independent Financial Expert, Pegasystems's Determination shall be
used for the purpose of making any payment hereunder to the Holders, for making
any adjustment to the Exercise Price hereunder or for any other purpose
hereunder. If the resolution of such dispute is more favorable to the Holders
than Pegasystems's Determination, Pegasystems shall make such additional
payments and shall take such other additional actions as are necessary to place
the Holders in the same position as they would have been in if the Expert's
Determination had been used for the purpose of making such payment or adjustment
to the Exercise Price or for such other purpose at the time of taking such
original action.
13.9. Waiver or Amendment. This Warrant and all other Warrants may be
modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived only with the written
consent of Pegasystems and the Majority Warrant Holders, provided that no such
Warrant may be modified or amended to reduce the number of shares of Common
Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable or to increase the price at which
such shares may be purchased upon exercise of such Warrant (before giving effect
to any adjustment as provided therein) without the written consent of the Holder
thereof.

ANNEX C
FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the
___ day of _________, ________________ by and between PEGASYSTEMS INC., a
Massachusetts corporation ("Pegasystems"), and _________________________, a
STATE corporation ("Recipient").
WHEREAS, Recipient is the holder of a Warrant (the "Warrant") issued by
Pegasystems or of shares of Pegasystems Common Stock issued upon exercise of
such a Warrant and, pursuant to Section 13.8 of such applicable Warrant, has
requested that Pegasystems disclose to the Recipient certain Confidential
Information (as defined below);
WHEREAS, it is a condition to Pegasystems's obligation under Section 7.3(k)
or Section 13.8 of the Warrant to disclose such Confidential Information that
Recipient agree to abide by certain confidentiality restrictions with respect to
such Information, as more fully set forth below:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledge, Pegasystems and Recipient agree as follows:
1. Confidential Information Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" of Pegasystems or any Affiliate (collectively, the
"Disclosing Party") will include all oral and written information and material,
in tangible or intangible form (including, without limitation, technical,
operating, business, marketing and financial information), which such Disclosing
Party furnishes, directly or indirectly, to the Recipient or any of its
Affiliates (collectively, the "Receiving Party") pursuant to Section 7.3(k) or
Section 13.8 of the Warrant and which is specifically identified in writing as
being confidential. Such identification of Confidential Information may be made
by the Disclosing Party before or during the disclosure of such information or
by written notice delivered following such disclosure confirming that such
disclosure constituted Confidential Information; provided that in the event that
any such Confidential Information is identified by a written notice delivered to
the Recipient following such disclosure the provisions of this Agreement shall
not be deemed to apply to such Confidential Information (or to any disclosure
thereof by the Recipient) prior to the giving of such notice. However, none of
the following will be considered Confidential Information:
(i) information that was already known to the Receiving Party (and not
otherwise subject to an obligation of confidentiality to the
Disclosing Party) prior to disclosure of such information to the
Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party;
(ii) information that is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party
which, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is not under any
obligation of confidentiality to the
<PAGE>
Disclosing Party with respect to such information;
(iii) information that is in the public domain or hereafter enters the
public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party;
(iv) information that is independently developed by employees, consultants
or agents of the Receiving Party without reference to Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party.
2. Obligation to Maintain Confidentiality. Each Receiving Party shall: (1)
keep all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the Disclosing Party in
strict confidence; (2) protect such Confidential Information with the same
degree of care as the Receiving Party treats its own confidential information;
(3) not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, disclose or
permit any such Confidential Information to be disclosed to anyone other than
the Receiving Party's directors, officers, employees, agents or consultants who
have a legitimate need to know the Confidential Information in connection with
matters contemplated in Section 7.3(k) or Section 13.8 of the Warrant or, if the
Recipient is a "Holder" within the meaning of the Warrant, in connection with
such Holder's exercise of any of its rights under the Warrant or other pending
business matters between such Holder and Pegasystems; and (4) not use, and not
permit its directors, officers, employees, agents or consultants to use, any
such Confidential Information for any reason other than as contemplated in
Section 7.3(k) or Section 13.8 of the Warrant or, if the Recipient is a "Holder"
within the meaning of the Warrant, in connection with such Holder's exercise of
any of its rights under the Warrant or other pending business matters between
such Holder and Pegasystems].
3. Obligations of Permitted Disclosees. Each Receiving Party shall advise
all directors, officers and employees to whom any Confidential Information is
disclosed of the confidentiality obligations of such directors, officers and
officers under this Agreement with respect to such information, and such
Receiving Party shall require all agents, consultants and other third parties to
whom Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to paragraph 2 above to
agree in writing to be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in
this Agreement.
4. Required Disclosures. In the event any Receiving Party is required by
any court or legislative or administrative body (by oral questions,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil
investigation, demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt
notice of such requirement in order to afford the Disclosing Party an
opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. However, if the Disclosing
Party is unable to obtain or does not seek such protective order and the
Receiving Party is compelled to disclose such Confidential Information under
pain of liability for contempt or other censure or penalty, disclosure of such
information may be made without liability.
5. Equitable Relief. Each Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party
would suffer irreparable harm and that damages caused by a breach of this
Agreement may be impossible to calculate and may, therefore, be an inadequate
remedy. Accordingly, each Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party shall
be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the
<PAGE>
Receiving Party and/or its agents for any threatened or actual breach hereof.
6. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration,
delivery or communication hereunder to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall
be sufficiently given or made if in writing and either delivered in person with
receipt acknowledged or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
(a) if to the Recipient, at its last known address appearing on the stock
or Warrant transfer records of Pegasystems;
(b) if to Pegasystems, at ADDRESS, Attention: TITLE;
or at such other address as may be substituted by notice given as herein
provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing
by the party entitled to receive such notice. Every notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder shall
be deemed to have been duly given or served on the date on which personally
delivered, with receipt acknowledged, or three (3) business days after the same
shall have been deposited in the United States mail, or one (1) business day
after the same shall have been delivered to Federal Express or another overnight
courier service.
7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pegasystems and Recipient.
8. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
9. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Agreement.
10. GOVERNING LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN ALL
RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS
WARRANT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO
ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
and

The following table sets forth the range of high and low sales prices on the
National Association of Security Dealers Automatic Quotation ("Nasdaq") National
Market System under the Nasdaq symbol PEGA, for 1996 and 1997. The Company's
common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market System since its
initial public offering in July 1996. Prior to that date, there was no public
market for the Company's common stock. As of February 6, 1998, the Company had
approximately 39 stockholders of record and approximately 2,600 beneficial
owners of the Company's common stock. On February 25, 1998, the closing sale
price of the common stock was $22.00. The Company has never declared or paid any
dividends on its common stock. The Company intends to retain its earnings to
finance future growth, and therefore does not anticipate paying any dividends in
the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company was founded in April 1983 to develop, market and support customer
management software solutions for financial services organizations. Product
development began immediately and by the end of the year the Company had secured
its first customer.
The Company's revenue is derived from two sources: software license fees and
services revenue. License fees, which have historically represented the majority
of the Company's total revenue, are generally payable on a monthly basis under
license agreements which typically have a five-year term and may be extended at
the customer's option for an additional fixed period. Such license agreements
are generally non-cancellable, although some may be terminated by the licensee
for a fee prior to the expiration of the initial term but after a minimum
specified period. The Company's licenses generally provide for annual license
fee increases (the "inflation adjustments") based on recognized inflation
indexes (sometimes subject to maximums). The Company believes that both it and
its customers derive substantial benefits from the recurring fee model because
it encourages the Company to be responsive to customer needs and provides the
Company with additional revenue opportunities through license renewals.
License revenue is generally recognized upon product acceptance. In the case of
license agreement renewals or extensions, revenue is recognized upon execution
of the renewal or the extension. The inflation adjustments are recognized
ratably over the periods to which they apply. The amount of software license
revenue recognized upon product acceptance or license renewal is equal to the
present value of the payments due during the minimum initial or renewal term, as
the case may be, plus the present value of any early termination fee. In 1995,
and the three months ended March 31, 1996, the discount rate for purposes of the
present value calculation was 7%; for the nine months ended December 31, 1996,
such discount rate was 6.75%. Commencing with the three months ended March 31,
1996, the Company established and intends to continue to establish the discount
rate quarterly as a function of the Company's current marginal borrowing rate.
In 1997, the discount rate for purposes of the present value calculation was 7%.
The imputed interest portion of the license fees, which is reported as license
interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of income, is
recognized over the minimum initial or the renewal term, as the case may be. To
date, a substantial majority of the Company's software licenses have been
renewed upon expiration. The fact that a portion of the Company's revenue is
derived from the renewal of license agreements with fixed expiration dates
assists the Company in anticipating future revenue.
The Company's services revenue is comprised of fees for implementation,
consulting, maintenance and training services. Software license customers are
offered the ability to enter into a maintenance contract requiring the customer
to pay a monthly maintenance fee over the term of the related license agreement
typically equal to approximately 18% of the license fee. Maintenance fees are
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. The Company's
software implementation agreements typically require the Company to provide a
specified level of implementation services for a fixed fee, typically with
additional implementation services available at an hourly rate. Implementation
fees are payable upon the achievement of specified milestones. The Company
generally recognizes implementation as well as consulting and training fees as
the services are provided.
The Company's export revenue has fluctuated considerably in the past due to the
fact that such revenue has been largely attributable to a small number of
product acceptances during a given period. Export revenue declined from $3.9
million to $2.3 million in 1995 due to the lack of large product acceptances
during the year. In 1996, export revenue increased to $5.9 million, as a result
of new customers in the European marketplace. In 1997, export revenue increased
to $7.3 million as a result of new product acceptances and license renewals in
Europe, Canada and Mexico.
Most of the Company's contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, although
several are denominated in other currencies, primarily British pounds sterling.
The Company expects that in the future more of its contracts will be denominated
in foreign currencies. The Company has not experienced any significant foreign
exchange gains or losses, and the Company does not expect that foreign currency
fluctuations will significantly affect either its revenue or costs in the near
term.

The Company's business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience
significant seasonality. Historically, the Company has recognized a greater
percentage of its revenue in its third and fourth quarters than in its first and
second quarters due to the Company's sales commission structure and the impact
of that structure on the timing of product acceptances and license renewals by
customers. This pattern is reinforced by the Company's maintenance contracts,
which generally entitle customers to, among other things, a fixed number of
hours of service per calendar year. Once the annual allotment of service hours
is exhausted, customers pay for additional services on an hourly basis,
typically resulting in higher services revenue in the Company's second, third,
and fourth quarters.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
The Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the unaudited
quarters ended March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997, and September 30, 1997. The
restatements reflect changes in the timing of revenue recognition and expense on
certain contracts and increased reserves for revenue and doubtful accounts. In
the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to correct the
financial statements have been made.
Revenue
Total revenue for 1997 increased 32.2% to $44.4 million from $33.5 million for
1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software license revenue.
Software license revenue for 1997 increased 28.7% to $28.7 million from $22.3
million for 1996. The increase in software license revenue was primarily
attributable to software license acceptances by new customers, software license
agreement renewals, expanded software usage by existing customers, the licensing
of standard product templates, and inflation-based increases in monthly license
fees.
Services revenue for 1997 increased 39.1% to $15.7 million from $11.3 million
for 1996. The increase in services revenue was primarily attributable to
increased demand for implementation and consulting services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of software license consists of amortization expense related to stock
warrant and capitalized software costs, royalty payments to third party software
vendors, and costs of product media, duplication and packaging. Cost of software
license for 1997 decreased 46.4% to $0.3 million from $0.5 million for 1996, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 1.4% for 1996 to 0.6% for 1997.
As a percentage of software license revenue, cost of software license decreased
from 2.1% for 1996 to 0.9% for 1997. Such decreases were due to decreased
amortization of purchased software costs partially offset by the costs
associated with a stock purchase warrant issued by the Company in June 1997,
which cost is being amortized through December 31, 2002.
Cost of services consists primarily of the costs of providing implementation,
consulting, maintenance, and training services. Cost of services for 1997
increased 68.9% to $11.8 million from $7.0 million for 1996. Cost of services as
a percentage of total revenue increased from 20.8% for 1996 to 26.6% for 1997,
and increased as a percentage of services revenue from 61.8% for 1996 to 75.0%
for 1997. These increases in cost of services were mainly due to increased
staffing in the Company's Client Services group worldwide.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of the cost of personnel and
equipment needed to conduct the Company's research and development efforts.
Research and development expenses for 1997 increased 83.8% to $15.1 million from
$8.2 million for 1996. The increase in research and development expenses was due
to the hiring of additional development personnel as well as the depreciation of
purchased capitalized software. As a percentage of total revenue, research and
development expenses increased from 24.5% for 1996 to 34.0% for 1997. The
Company has been increasing spending on sales and marketing more rapidly then
increases in development and intends to continue a strategy of leveraging
existing product functionality by balancing its historical focus on research and
development with an increased emphasis on sales and marketing.
Selling and marketing expenses for 1997 increased 191.4% to $17.5 million from
$6.0 million for 1996. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and marketing
expenses increased from 17.9% for 1996 to 39.4% for 1997 as the Company invested
in building its sales force. Such increases were attributable to the hiring of
additional direct sales and marketing personnel, increased sales commission
payments attributable to higher sales, and increased investment
Page 36
<PAGE>
in marketing support activities and materials. During 1997, the Company
continued to build its sales and marketing infrastructure in its domestic and
international offices.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the salaries of the
Company's executive, administrative and financial personnel, and associated
expenses. General and administrative expenses for 1997 increased 68.2% to $3.1
million from $1.9 million for 1996 due to increased investment in the
infrastructure needed to support the Company's growth. Such expenses increased
as a percentage of total revenue from 5.5% for 1996 to 7.0% for 1997 due to the
Company's investment in infrastructure.
License Interest Income
License interest income represents the portion of all license fees due under
software license agreements which was not recognized upon product acceptance or
license renewal. License interest income for 1997 increased 14.3% to $1.8
million from $1.6 million for 1996 reflecting a larger installed product base.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provisions for federal, state and foreign taxes were $4.6 million and $0.7
million for 1996 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rates were 38.1% for
1996 and 38.0% for 1997. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $9.1 million in
net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards
available to offset future federal taxable income. See Note 8 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Revenue
Total revenue for 1996 increased 50.8% to $33.5 million from $22.2 million for
1995. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software license revenue.
Software license revenue for 1996 increased 64.5% to $22.3 million from $13.5
million in 1995. The increase in software license revenue was primarily
attributable to software license acceptances by new customers, software license
agreement renewals, expanded software usage by existing customers, the licensing
of standard product templates, and inflation-based increases in monthly license
fees.
Services revenue for 1996 increased 29.5% to $11.3 million from $8.7 million for
1995. The increase in services revenue was primarily attributable to increased
demand for consulting and implementation services, and to a lesser extent,
increased maintenance revenue from a larger installed product base.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of software license for 1996 decreased 24.9% to $0.5 million from $0.6
million for 1995, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 2.9% for
1995 to 1.4% for 1996. As a percentage of software license revenue, cost of
software license decreased from 4.7% for 1995 to 2.1% for 1996. Such decreases
were due to decreased amortization expense related to capitalized software
development costs. No software development costs were capitalized in 1995 or
1996.
Cost of services for 1996 increased 13.2% to $7.0 million from $6.2 million for
1995, mainly due to increased staffing in the Company's Reengineering and Client
Services group in the United Kingdom and in the Company's domestic regional
offices to meet growing client commitments. Cost of services as a percentage of
total revenue declined from 27.7% for 1995 to 20.8% for 1996, and declined as a
percentage of services revenue from 70.7% for 1995 to 61.8% for 1996, in both
cases due to the growth in the Company's total revenue and increased utilization
of service personnel.
Page 37
<PAGE>
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for 1996 increased 16.4% to $8.2 million from
$7.1 million for 1995. The increase in research and development expenses was due
to the hiring of additional development personnel. As a percentage of total
revenue, research and development expenses declined from 31.7% for 1995 to 24.5%
for 1996, reflecting the Company's strategy of leveraging existing product
functionality by balancing its historical focus on research and development with
an increased emphasis on sales and marketing. In addition, research and
development expenses declined as a percentage of total revenue due to the growth
in the Company's total revenue.
Selling and marketing expenses for 1996 increased 67.0% to $6.0 million from
$3.6 million for 1995. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and marketing
expenses increased from 16.1% for 1995 to 17.9% for 1996. Such increases were
attributable to the hiring of additional direct sales and marketing personnel,
increased sales commission payments attributable to higher sales, and increased
investment in marketing support activities and materials.
General and administrative expenses for 1996 increased 20.5% to $1.9 million
from $1.5 million for 1995 due to increased investment in the infrastructure
needed to support the Company's growth. Such expenses declined as a percentage
of total revenue from 6.9% for 1995 to 5.5% for 1996 due to the growth in the
Company's total revenue.
License Interest Income
License interest income for 1996 increased 5.3% to $1.6 million from $1.5
million for 1995, reflecting a larger installed product base.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provisions for federal, state and foreign taxes were $1.8 million and $4.6
million for 1995 and 1996, respectively. The effective tax rates were 38.0% for
1995 and 38.1% for 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $0.8 million in
research and development tax credit carryforwards available to offset future
federal taxable income. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company had funded its operations primarily through
cash flow from operations and bank borrowings. In July 1996, the Company issued
and sold 2.7 million shares of Common Stock in connection with its initial
public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from such offering were
approximately $29.4 million. In January 1997, the Company issued and sold 1.8
million shares of Common Stock in connection with a second public offering. Net
proceeds to the Company from such second public offering were approximately
$51.9 million. At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of approximately $52.0 million and working capital of approximately $62.7
million. The Company's approach of charging license fees payable in installments
over the term of its licenses has historically deferred the receipt of cash and,
prior to its initial public offering, had limited the availability of working
capital.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1995
was $0.8 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1997 was $2.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The
increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a reduction
in net income, and an increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and
other assets.
Net cash used by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1996 and 1997 was $1.4 million, $2.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
This cash was used mainly to support the purchase of development software, in
addition to the purchase of property and equipment consisting mainly of computer
hardware and software and furniture and fixtures to support the Company's
growing employee base.
Page 39
<PAGE>
Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1996 and 1997 was $0.7 million, $28.5 million and $52.6 million, respectively.
This cash was provided mainly as a result of the Company completing an initial
public stock offering in 1996 and a second public stock offering in 1997.
The Company's capital commitments consist primarily of operating leases for
office space and equipment. At December 31, 1997, the Company's commitments
under non-cancellable operating leases for office space with terms in excess of
one year totaled $1.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million for 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. The Company's total payments under such leases was $1.1
million, $1.4 million and $3.0 million for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's $5.0 million revolving credit line, which expired on June 30,
1997, was renewed with the same bank and has a maturity date of June 30, 1999.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had no borrowings under such facility. The
Company's credit agreement prohibits the payment of dividends, has profitability
requirements and requires maintenance of specified levels of tangible net worth
and certain financial ratios. The Company intends to renegotiate the term and
the covenant requirements under the existing line of credit with the same bank.
See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company recorded bad debt expense in the amounts of $0.8 million, $0.3
million and $1.9 million in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively, as a result of
indications that certain receivables relating primarily to consulting and
installation services rendered by the Company would not be collected in full.
The Company believes that the net proceeds from its initial public offering in
July of 1996, and its second public offering which was completed in January of
1997, together with cash generated by operations and availability under its bank
credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least
the next year. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital beyond
the amounts currently forecasted by the Company will not be required or that any
such required additional capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at
all, at such time as required by the Company.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operating results to
date, nor does the Company expect it to have a significant impact in the future
due to the fact that the Company's license and maintenance fees are typically
subject to annual increases based on recognized inflation indexes.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
In 1995, the Company had three customers that accounted for 16.2%, 14.9% and
12.6%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1996, the Company
had three customers that accounted for 14.5%, 11.4% and 10.5%, respectively, of
the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1997, the Company had two customers that
accounted for 13.7% and 10.0%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated
revenue.

PEGASYSTEMS INC. - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
December 31, 1997
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a.) Business
Pegasystems Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 21, 1983 and develops
customer service management software used by large, transaction-intensive
organizations to automate and manage their customer interactions. Customers of
the Company include large banks and credit card processors and mutual fund
companies and more recently major companies in non-financial service industries.
The Company also offers consulting, training, and maintenance and support
services to facilitate the installation and use of its solutions.
The environment of rapid technological change and intense competition which is
characteristic of the software development industry results in frequent new
products and evolving industry standards. The Company's continued success
depends upon its ability to penetrate vertical markets, enhance current products
and develop new products on a timely basis that keep pace with the changes in
technology and competitors' innovations.
International revenue is subject to various risks, including imposition of
government controls, export license requirements, political and economic
conditions and instability, trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, changes
in taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, and
high local wage scales and other operating costs and expenses.
(b.) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pegasystems Limited, Pegasystems Investment Inc.,
Pegasystems Worldwide Inc., and Pegasystems Pty Ltd. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c.) Foreign Currency Translation
The translation of assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries
is made at year-end rates of exchange, while revenue and expense accounts are
recorded at the average rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments
are excluded from net income and are charged or credited to "Cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustment" included as part of stockholders' equity.
Realized and unrealized exchange gains or losses from transaction adjustments
are reflected in operations and are not material.
(d.) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP)
91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition," issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. Specifically, revenue from software licenses is
generally recognized upon product acceptance pursuant to non-cancellable license
agreements and is based on management's assessment that the collectibility on
the long-term license installments is probable. Upon acceptance, the Company has
no significant vendor obligations. The Company accrues the estimated cost of
warranty and product returns in the period in which product revenue is
recognized; historically these amounts have not been material. In the case of
license agreement renewals or extensions, revenue is recognized upon execution
of the renewal or the extension. Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over
the term of the maintenance agreement. The Company recognizes implementation as
well as consulting and training fees as the services are provided.
Page 45
<PAGE>
Beginning in 1998, the Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SOP
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." The adoption of the statement is not
estimated to have a significant impact on the Company. Software license revenue
represents the present value of future payments under non-cancellable license
agreements which provide for payment in installments, typically over a five-year
period. A portion of the revenue from each agreement is recognized as interest
income over the term of the agreement.
The discount rate in effect for 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996
was 7%. The discount rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1996 was
6.75%. In 1997, the discount rate for purposes of the present value calculation
was 7%. The trade and installment accounts receivable recorded on the balance
sheet are net of $5.1 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, which represents the imputed interest portion of future payments
due under the Company's license agreements. Deferred revenue represents payments
from customers, primarily for maintenance services, which are recognized as
revenue as the related services are performed.
(e.) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market, and
consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
(f.) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of
credit risk consist of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable and
long-term license installments receivable. The Company records long-term license
installments in accordance with its revenue recognition policy, which results in
receivables from customers (primarily large financial service organizations with
strong credit ratings).
(g.) Equipment and Improvements
Equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
are three years for equipment and five years for furniture and fixtures.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.
(h.) Software Costs
In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed," certain software costs are capitalized in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. Capitalization of software costs begins upon the
establishment of technological feasibility, defined by the Company as a working
model or an operative version of the computer software product that is completed
in the same language and is capable of running on all of the platforms as the
product to be ultimately marketed. No costs were capitalized during 1995, 1996,
or 1997.
Amortization of capitalized software costs are included in cost of software
license revenue. Total amortization expense charged to cost of software was $0.6
million and $0.5 million during 1995 and 1996, respectively. No amortization
expense for capitalized software costs was charged to software license revenue
in 1997.

<PAGE>
(i.) Net Income Per Share
The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," effective December 15,
1997. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98, the Company has determined that there were no
nominal issuances of common stock or potential common stock in the period prior
to the Company's initial public offering (IPO). The Company has applied the
provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98 retroactively to all periods
presented. Calculations of basic and diluted net income per share and potential
common share are as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1995, no outstanding options were excluded from the weighted
average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution. As of December 31, 1996
and 1997, 7,201 options and 185,481 options, respectively, were excluded from
the weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, as their
effect would be anti-dilutive.
(j.) New Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all
components of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner
sources. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires certain financial and
supplemental information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each
reportable segment of an enterprise. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997.
Page 47
<PAGE>
(k.) Stock Options
The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with
an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of
the grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and intends to
continue to do so. During 1995, the Company granted stock options for a fixed
number of shares to employees with an exercise price less than the then fair
market value of the shares at the date of the grant. For the difference between
the fair market value and the exercise price, the Company recorded deferred
compensation in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, which is
being expensed over the vesting period.
The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions only of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and will continue to account for its
stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Statement No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
(l.) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a line of credit with a bank allowing
for borrowings up to $5.0 million at the prime rate which will expire on June
30, 1999. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at
December 31, 1997. Borrowings are subject to various covenants which call for a
specified level of working capital and net worth, maintenance of certain
financial ratios and restrictions on the payments of dividends. As of December
31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, except for the
profitability financial covenant, for which the Company received a
non-compliance waiver.
5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
(a.) Secondary Public Offering
On January 28, 1997, the Company issued and sold 1.8 million shares of common
stock in connection with its second public offering. Net proceeds to the Company
from this offering were approximately $51.9 million.
(b.) Recapitalization and Stock Split
On July 10, 1996, the Company increased the number of shares of common stock
authorized from 9.0 million to 45.0 million shares. The Company's Board of
Directors approved a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend
effective on July 10, 1996. The financial statements give effect to the stock
split for all periods presented.
Page 49
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to certain limitations prescribed
by law, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to
an aggregate 1.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to
fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifying
limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series thereof, including
the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of
redemptions (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any shares or
designations of such series.
(c.) Long-Term Incentive Plan
In 1994, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan") to
provide employees, directors and consultants with opportunities to purchase
stock through incentive stock options and through options that do not qualify as
incentive stock options.
In addition to options, eligible participants under the 1994 Plan may be granted
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and long-term performance awards. As
of December 31, 1997, a total of 5.0 million shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan.
The option price per share is determined at the date of grant. For incentive
stock options, the option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of the Company's common stock at the grant date. Incentive stock options
granted to a person having greater than 10% of the voting power of all classes
of stock must have an exercise price of at least 110% of fair market value of
the Company's common stock. Options granted under the 1994 Plan generally vest
over five years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.
(d.) 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
The 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors on May 13, 1996 and approved by the
stockholders on June 26, 1996. The Director Plan provides for the grant of
options for the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
As of December 31, 1997, options to purchase 90,000 shares were outstanding
under the Director Plan but no shares had been issued under the plan.
The Director Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and provides
that each person who becomes a director of the Company after May 13, 1996, and
who is not also an employee of the Company, will receive upon initial election
to the Board of Directors an option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock
vesting in equal annual installments over five years. The exercise price for all
options granted under the Director Plan is equal to the market price of the
common stock as of the date of grant.
(e.) 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan") was adopted by
the Board of Directors on May 13, 1996 and approved by the stockholders on June
26, 1996. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for
issuance pursuant to this plan. To date, there have been no offerings under the
Stock Purchase Plan and no shares of common stock have been issued thereunder.

In December 1995, the Company granted options to purchase 335,250 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $.39 per share. The Company recorded an
increase to additional paid-in capital and a corresponding charge to deferred
compensation in the amount of $91,000 to recognize the aggregate difference
between the deemed fair value for accounting purposes of the stock options at
the date of grant and the exercise price. The deferred compensation will be
amortized over the option vesting period of five years.

expense for the option plans had been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date for grants in 1995, 1996 and 1997, consistent with the provisions of
SFAS 123:

</TABLE>
A range of expected vesting percentages were given to each range of exercise
prices. In 1997, the range of exercise prices from $0.33 to $0.39, $6.00 to
$10.00, $12.50 to $18.25and $20.56 to $31.88, it is expected that 95 percent, 90
percent, 75 percent and 50 percent of those options will vest, respectively.
These ranges were based upon the Company's estimates that a more significant
number of lower priced options as compared to higher priced options will vest.
The fair value of options at the date of grant were estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Option
-----------------------------------------
1995 1996 1997
------------ ----------- ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Volatility 0.0 0.0 - 9.9 0.5
Expected option life (years) 5.0 5.0 5.0
Interest rate (risk free) 5.51% 5.38 - 6.69% 6.13 - 6.57%
Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
</TABLE>
Volatility for 1997 was calculated on a quarterly basis and was determined to be
0.5. Volatility for 1996 was calculated on a monthly basis. For 1996, exclusive
of one month's data where volatility was 9.9, volatility ranged from 0.0 to 1.4.
The Company has never declared nor paid dividends on any of its capital stock
and does not expect to in the foreseeable future.
The effects on 1995, 1996, and 1997 pro forma net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share of expensing the estimated fair value of stock options and
shares are not necessarily representative of the effects on reporting the
results of operations for future years as the periods presented include only
one, two and three years of option grants under the Company's plan.
(6) Software License and Support and Warrant Agreements
On June 27, 1997, the Company entered into Software License and Support and
Warrant Agreements with First Data Resources, Inc. (FDR).
The provisions of the Software License and Support Agreement give FDR the right
to use the Company's software in connection with new products and also the
exclusive right to market, distribute and sublicense the Company's software and
new products to FDR customers and prospects. In addition to the granting of a
license to use its software, the Company will also provide services to FDR in
connection with the new products. For the right to the license and the services,
FDR is expected to pay the Company a base fee of $49.25 million. FDR paid $5.0
million in 1997 and remaining fees are expected to be paid on a monthly basis
over the term of the agreement. The initial term of this agreement commences on
June 27, 1997 and runs through December 31, 2002.
In accordance with the Software License and Support Agreement, the Company was
granted a license for access to and use of the designs, specifications and code
of FDR's ESP Product. As consideration for this right, the Company paid FDR
$10.0 million. This amount was recorded as purchased software on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the Software License and Support Agreement on June 27, 1997,
the Company committed to provide a Warrant to FDR. Pursuant to the Warrant
Agreement, the Company gave FDR the right to purchase 284,876 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at a purchase price of $28.25 per share which represented
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the agreement The
warrant will become exercisable on June 27, 1998 and will expire on June 27,
2002. The warrant was valued at $2.9 million and the corresponding deferred
asset was capitalized and included in "purchased software and other" on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
52
<PAGE>
The Company will recognize the base fee revenue and also amortize the value of
the purchased software and the warrant on a pro rata basis over the initial
5-1/2 year term of the agreement. During the period from June 27, 1997 through
December 31, 1997, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $4.6 million
related to the Software License and Support Agreement and recorded amortization
expense of approximately $1.2 million related to the ESP software and warrant.
7. LEASES
The Company leases certain equipment and office space under non-cancellable
operating leases. Future minimum rental payments required under the operating
leases with non-cancellable terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1997 are

At December 31, 1997, the Company had alternative minimum tax (AMT) and research
and development (R&D) credit carryforwards of approximately $864,000, available
to offset future federal taxable income. The carryforward period for the AMT
credit is unlimited. The R&D credit carryforwards generally expire from 2004 to
2008.
As of December 31, 1997 the Company also has available net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $20,932,000 expiring through 2012. These
carryforwards may be used to offset future income taxes payable, if any, and are
subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for the effect of its net
operating loss carryforward as management has concluded that it is more likely
than not that the tax benefit will be realized. However, approximately
$12,251,000 of the net operating loss carryforward relates to the excess tax
benefit of disqualifying dispositions and the exercise of non-qualified stock
options. Accordingly, approximately $4,769,000 of the deferred tax asset was
recorded in additional paid in capital.
9. LITIGATION
The Company is a defendant in two purported class action suits which have been
consolidated and in which the Company and several of its officers are alleged to
have violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), Rule 10(b) (5) promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the
1934 Act. The consolidated complaint does not specify the amount of the damages
sought. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine or estimate the outcome
at this time. The Company has not yet filed any responsive pleadings in this
litigation, but intends to defend the matter vigorously.
10. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
In 1995, the Company had three customers that accounted for 16.2%, 14.9% and
12.6%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1996, the Company
had three customers that accounted for 14.5%, 11.4% and 10.5%, respectively, of
the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1997, the Company had two customers that
accounted for 13.7% and 10.0%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated
revenue.
11. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company's export sales from the United States for 1995, 1996 and 1997 are as
follows:
