ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On December 31, 1999, we acquired the ACT! Product Line and related business
from Symantec Corporation pursuant to a Software License Agreement dated
December 6, 1999, as amended and closed on December 31, 1999. Under the terms of
the agreement, we acquired an exclusive license of ACT! and an option to
purchase the product line at the end of the four year license term for an
aggregate purchase price, including royalties, of $60 million in cash, plus
623,247 shares of SalesLogix Common Stock. We expect to account for the
transaction using the purchase method of accounting.
The 623,247 shares of SalesLogix Common Stock issued to Symantec Corporation in
connection with this transaction were issued pursuant to an exception from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the "Act",
under Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly such shares constitute "restricted
securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and may not be
sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration
statement under the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to SalesLogix that
such registration is not required.
The Software License Agreement and the amendment and material schedules thereto
are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
This summary of the transaction is not complete and is qualified in its entirety
by the exhibits.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking

detailed in our current report on Form 8-K dated December 6, 1999, in our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, and in
our final prospectus filed in connection with our initial public offering on
Form S-1. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those
described or incorporated by reference in this Report.

may not register or use the Marks or an abbreviation of the Marks as part of an
internet domain name, except with Symantec's prior written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed; provided however, that the
domain names listed on SCHEDULE 2.6 hereto are deemed approved by Symantec. Use
of any such internet domain name will be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
SalesLogix agrees to maintain a consistent level of quality in connection with
its use of the Marks equal to that found in SalesLogix's existing
technology-related publications. SalesLogix further agrees to maintain a level
of quality in connection with its use of the Marks that is consistent with
general industry standards. SalesLogix understands that Symantec has the right
to monitor SalesLogix's use of the Marks. If SalesLogix produces other than
on-line publications in connection with the Marks, SalesLogix shall provide
Symantec representative samples of each such publication at the time the
publication is first published. If Symantec determines that SalesLogix is using
the Marks improperly and/or on goods which do not meet the quality
9
<PAGE> 10
standards set forth above, Symantec shall so notify SalesLogix, and SalesLogix
shall remedy the improper use within fifteen (15) business days following
receipt of such notice from Symantec, with respect to on-line use, and within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice from Symantec with respect to
hard copy, CD-ROM and other electronic publications. The title of any
publication SalesLogix publishes pursuant to this agreement shall bear subscript
trademark notices ("(TM)" or (R), as appropriate) immediately following the
Marks. SalesLogix shall include with any publication with which the Marks is
used a trademark legend indicating that the Marks are marks of Symantec, used
under license, and a disclaimer that SalesLogix and not Symantec has produced
the publication and is responsible for the content thereof.
2.7 Competing Products Permitted. During the Royalty Term SalesLogix
shall have the right to develop, use, adapt, modify, reproduce, market, promote,
sell, license and sublicense products competitive with or functionally similar
to the Licensed Products or the End Products which are independently developed
by SalesLogix or by a third party and no such product shall give rise to a
different or additional royalty or other payment obligation under this
Agreement.
2.8 Sublicenses. SalesLogix shall not grant exclusive licenses or
sublicenses relating to a Licensed Product unless: (a) SalesLogix obtains
Symantec's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied
or delayed; or (b) such exclusive license (i) is subject to Symantec's rights
under this Agreement (including Sections 2.3 and 2.4), (ii) shall terminate
immediately, by its terms, if and when the Licenses to SalesLogix terminate, and
(iii) does not have the effect of licensing to SalesLogix's licensee a
substantial portion of the material rights granted to SalesLogix under this
Agreement.
2.9 Termination of Licenses for Default. Without limiting Symantec's
other remedies hereunder, if SalesLogix fails to fulfill any payment obligation
when due under this Agreement, then, thirty (30) days after providing written
notice to SalesLogix specifying such default, Symantec may terminate the
Licenses, without liability, unless SalesLogix has cured the default within the
thirty (30) day period. Termination of the Licenses by Symantec under this
Section 2.9 shall give immediate rise to the rights and obligations of the
parties under Section 9.5.
3. CLOSING
The parties intend that, pursuant to the Licenses, SalesLogix shall
during the Royalty Term have sole and exclusive responsibility for the Licensed
Programs and the Licensed Materials, subject to the terms and conditions of this

3.3 Termination of Agreement Prior to Closing; Effect; Waivers. This
Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing: (i) by the mutual consent in

March 30, 2000; or (iv) by the Board of Directors of either Symantec or
SalesLogix if the Closing Date has not occurred by March 30, 2000; provided,
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (iv) shall not
be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this
Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure
of the Closing to occur prior to such date; or (v) by either party if there
shall have been instituted, pending or threatened (and not withdrawn) any action
or proceeding by any governmental authority or administrative agency before any
governmental authority, administrative agency or court of competent
jurisdiction, or there shall be in effect any judgment, decree or order of any
governmental authority, administrative agency or court of competent
jurisdiction, in either case, seeking to prevent consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.
3.3.1 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of
this Agreement as provided in this Section 3.3, this Agreement shall forthwith
become void (excepting only those provisions hereof that by their terms survive
the termination of this Agreement), each party shall pay the costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection herewith, and there shall be no liability on the
part of any party hereto; provided that nothing herein shall relieve either
party from liability for any willful breach hereof.
3.3.2 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party
hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or
other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set
forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.
3.4 Other Negotiations. Between the Effective Date and either Closing
or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 (the "Expiration
Date"), Symantec will not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director
(subject, however, to the fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors), employee,
Affiliate or agent or otherwise, take any action to solicit, initiate, seek,
entertain, encourage or support any inquiry, proposal or other offer from,
furnish any information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations

pursuant to Section 3, and the Purchase Option granted in Section 9, SalesLogix
shall deliver to Symantec at Closing a Transaction Fee consisting of that number

immediately prior to the Effective Date, as such stock is traded on the NASDAQ
National Market System.
6.1.2 Investment Representations. In connection with the
receipt of the shares representing the Common Stock Consideration (the
"Shares"), Symantec has made the investment representations and warranties set
forth in Section 11.1.

"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY
NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY."
Symantec acknowledges that appropriate stop transfer orders may be noted on
SalesLogix's stock records with respect to all certificates so legended.
6.2 Royalty during Royalty Term. In further consideration of the
Licenses and the Purchase Option, SalesLogix agrees to make royalty payments
("Royalties") to Symantec during the Royalty Term, equal to:
- 40% of the Consolidated Revenue for each calendar quarter during the
period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2000;
15
<PAGE> 16
- 35% of the Consolidated Revenue for each calendar quarter during the
period beginning on January 1, 2001 and ending on December 31, 2001;
- 30% of the Consolidated Revenue for each calendar quarter during the
period beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2002; and
- 25% of the Consolidated Revenue for each calendar quarter during the
period beginning on January 1, 2003 and ending on December 31, 2003.

to pay Royalties to Symantec hereunder in excess of the following aggregate

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Max. Cum.
Quarter Ending Royalties Quarter Ending Max Cum. Royalties
-------------- --------- -------------- ------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
March 31, 2000 $5,000,000 March 31, 2002 $39,750,000
June 30, 2000 $10,000,000 June 30, 2002 $42,500,000
September 30, 2000 $15,000,000 September 30, 2002 $45,250,000

December 31, 2001 $37,000,000 December 31, 2003 $57,000,000
</TABLE>
6.3 Payment of Royalties. SalesLogix shall provide Symantec with
quarterly reports of the Royalties due under Section 6.2 within three (3) to
five (5) business days after the end of Symantec's fiscal quarter (the ending
dates of each such fiscal quarter are indicated on SCHEDULE 6.3 hereto),
specifying the amount of Royalties based on revenues from United States
operations and the amount of Royalties based on revenues from international
operations. SalesLogix shall pay the Royalties for each calendar quarter to
Symantec or its designee, in U.S. Dollars, within fifteen (15) days after the
end of such calendar quarter. If there should be a discrepancy in the amount of
Consolidated Revenue reported to Symantec pursuant to this Section 6.3 with
respect to a particular calendar quarter and the amount of Consolidated Revenue
reported by SalesLogix on its Form 10-Q, resulting in a discrepancy between the
actual Royalties and reported Royalties (whether due to the difference between
Symantec's fiscal quarter and the calendar quarter or otherwise), then the
report and payment for the next successive calendar quarter shall include any
adjustment, whether an additional payment or a deduction, required to "true up"
the actual Royalties to the reported Royalties. The parties acknowledge that
with respect to the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2000, Consolidated Revenue
will include and Royalties will be payable with respect to revenue generated
under the Transition Agreement, but such revenue numbers will not be included in
the Consolidated Revenue reported by SalesLogix until such revenue numbers are
provided to SalesLogix by Symantec.
6.4 Audit Rights. SalesLogix shall keep all appropriate records and
books of account, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
with respect to its distribution of products, revenues and the amount of
Royalties due pursuant to this Section 6. During the
16
<PAGE> 17
Royalty Term (and for one year thereafter if less than $57,000,000 in Royalties
are received by Symantec during the Royalty Term) Symantec may cause a third
party auditor hired by Symantec, after reasonable prior written notice and
during normal business hours, to enter SalesLogix's premises where such books
and records are normally kept, at reasonable intervals but no more frequently
than on an annual basis, for purposes of auditing or inspecting all such records
and books of account for the period(s) requested in such notice. The cost of any
such audit or inspection shall be paid and borne by Symantec; provided, however,
that in the event Symantec initiates an audit or inspection under this Section
6.4 and it is finally determined that the Royalties reported and paid by
SalesLogix pursuant to this Section 6 for the period(s) audited or inspected is,
in the aggregate, less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the aggregate Royalties
actually payable for said period(s), then SalesLogix shall pay to Symantec on
demand the reasonable costs and expenses of such audit or inspection. If any
such audit or inspection reveals that an overpayment or underpayment of
Royalties may have occurred, then (i) in the case of an underpayment, the
necessary correcting payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the
amount of the discrepancy is determined or (ii) in the case of an overpayment,
the amount overpaid, at Symantec's option, shall be paid in cash or credited
against future Royalties otherwise payable (any unpaid balance remaining when
this Agreement terminates or the Royalty Term ends shall then be paid in cash by
Symantec to SalesLogix), in either case with interest on the amount outstanding
until paid or credited (as applicable) in full, at the then "prime rate" as
published in the Wall Street Journal.
6.5 Adjustment to Royalty Calculations. The parties acknowledge that
both the percentages of Consolidated Revenue specified in Section 6.2 above as
Royalties and the use of a percentage of Consolidated Revenue as the method of
calculating Royalties payable hereunder assume that SalesLogix and the
SalesLogix Group will continue to conduct that portion of their businesses in
existence as of the Effective Date (the "Core Business") in a manner consistent
with the conduct of such businesses as of the Effective Date, including with
respect to revenue recognition policies. Should SalesLogix and/or the SalesLogix
Group make a change in their revenue recognition policies or business models
applicable to the Core Business that result in revenue recognition not occurring
immediately upon the sale, license or other disposition or distribution of the
products and/or services constituting the Core Business and such change would
result in a decrease of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Consolidated Revenue
for any quarter specified in Section 6.2, Symantec shall have the right to
require an adjustment in the royalty provisions of this Agreement, which shall
be negotiated in good faith by the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as
promptly as possible, which new royalty provisions shall have the effect of
providing Symantec with Royalties comparable in amount to the Royalties it would
have received if SalesLogix and/or the SalesLogix Group had not made any changes
in their revenue recognition policies or business models applicable to the Core
Business.
6.6 Additional Payment Adjustment. If the Closing Date occurs after the
expiration of the normal HSR waiting period (the "Measurement Date"), SalesLogix
shall pay Symantec, within five (5) business days of the actual Closing Date, an
amount equal to the number of business days after December 31, 1999 that the
Closing occurs multiplied by $14,500; provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not apply in the event all conditions to Closing have been met (including
the required HSR approval or expiration) but Symantec fails to close on such
date or delays the closing through no fault of SalesLogix. If the Closing Date
has not occurred on or before the first business day following the Measurement
Date, the Chief Financial Officers of
17
<PAGE> 18
Symantec and SalesLogix shall meet and renegotiate in good faith the allocation
and recognition of costs and revenues related to the Licensed Products and the
term and pricing of the Transition Agreement.
7. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
7.1 Taxes, etc. SalesLogix shall be exclusively responsible for the
payment of all taxes, tariffs and duties (including without limitation sales,
use, value added, transfer, withholding and excise taxes and customs duties of
all types) arising from amounts payable to Symantec hereunder, excluding any
income taxes on amounts received by Symantec. SalesLogix hereby waives
compliance by Symantec with any bulk sale or similar laws or statutes in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.2 Standard of Performance. Each party shall perform its obligations
under this Agreement using a standard of performance that is equal to or greater
than the standard of performance used by such party to perform its general
business obligations and in any event shall use its diligent good faith efforts
and devote sufficient resources to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
7.3 Government Authorizations; Hart Scott Rodino.
7.3.1 Efforts. Each party hereto will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all

the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements and will cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to
obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Each party
hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form
pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as
promptly as is practicable after the date hereof and to supply promptly any
additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any
governmental authority pursuant to the HSR Act. The parties hereto will not take
any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the
receipt of any required approvals. Without limiting the generality of the
parties' undertakings pursuant to this Section, the parties shall use their
reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry in a judicial or administrative
proceeding brought under any antitrust law by any government antitrust authority
or any other party of any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order
that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
unlawful or that would prevent or delay such consummation.
7.3.2 Communications. Each party hereto shall promptly inform
the other of any material communication between such party and the Federal Trade
Commission, the Department of Justice or any other United States federal or
state, or non-U.S. government or governmental authority regarding any of the
transactions contemplated hereby. If any party or any affiliate of such party
receives a request for additional information or for documents or any material
from any such government or governmental authority with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, then such party shall endeavor in good faith
to make or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after
consultation with the other party, an appropriate
18
<PAGE> 19
response in compliance with such request. Further, no written materials shall be
submitted by any party to the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of
Justice or any other United States federal or state, or non-U.S. governmental
agency in connection with HSR Act compliance or the merger control or
competition regulations of any other country, nor shall any oral communications
be initiated with such governmental entities by any party, without prior
disclosure to and coordination with the other parties and their counsel. Each
party hereto will cooperate in connection with reaching any understandings,
undertakings or agreements (oral or written) involving the Federal Trade
Commission, the Department of Justice or any other United States federal or
state, or non-U.S. governmental authority in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.
7.4 Assumption of Liabilities by SalesLogix. SalesLogix shall assume
and be responsible for the Transferred Liabilities as of the Closing Date.
7.5 Transition Teams. SalesLogix and Symantec shall each promptly
appoint representatives from their product development, marketing, sales,
finance and human resources departments to form counterpart transition teams for
the period from the Effective Date through the end of the Transition Period.
Such departmental transition teams shall use reasonable good faith efforts to
cooperate and coordinate activities to facilitate SalesLogix's preparations
prior to the Closing for the transition, and to facilitate after the Closing a
smooth implementation of the Transition Agreement and a smooth transition of the
Licensed Products from Symantec to SalesLogix.
8. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS
8.1 Export Compliance. SalesLogix will comply with all laws applicable
to distribution of the Licensed Products, including but not limited to the U.S.
Export Administration Act and regulations promulgated thereunder and all other
laws, regulations, rules, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments and decrees
applicable to the export or re-export of controlled commodities or technical
data. Symantec shall provide any necessary or reasonable cooperation and
assistance, to the extent requested by SalesLogix, in connection with
SalesLogix's processing of any export applications and licenses for the Licensed
Products, provided that SalesLogix reimburses Symantec for any out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with providing such assistance.
8.2 Non-Competition by Symantec. Symantec agrees that, during the
Royalty Term, Symantec will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, engage
or participate in the conduct or management of, or own (legally or beneficially)
any entity which as a material portion of its business (a portion shall be
deemed to be material if it represents more than 20% of the revenue of such
entity) engages in the development, marketing, licensing or sale of (i) a stand
alone software product or hosted or online offering that has as its principal
functionality contact management, sales automation, or customer relationship
management, or (ii) a stand alone software product or hosted or online offering
that competes with any of the products listed on EXHIBIT A. The foregoing
covenant shall not prohibit the ownership, or right or option to acquire, any
passive investment in any business provided that such investment constitutes not
more than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate equity interests in such
business. Symantec acknowledges that the foregoing covenant is supported by
adequate consideration and waives the
19
<PAGE> 20
claim or defense of inadequate consideration. By executing this Agreement,
Symantec specifically acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions were
bargained for by the parties, that such restrictions are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of SalesLogix and that monetary
damages would be inadequate compensation for a breach of this provision.
8.3 Non-Competition by SalesLogix. SalesLogix agrees that, during the
Royalty Term, SalesLogix will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, use
the Licensed Products, the Source Code or Intellectual Property to engage or
participate in the conduct or management of, or own (legally or beneficially)
any business which engages in the development, marketing, licensing or sale of
software products that compete with the other product offerings of Symantec as
of the Effective Date that are listed on EXHIBIT Q. The foregoing covenant shall
not prohibit the ownership, or right or option to acquire, any passive
investment in any business provided that such investment constitutes not more
than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate equity interests in such business.
SalesLogix acknowledges that the foregoing covenant is supported by adequate
consideration and waives the claim or defense of inadequate consideration. By
executing this Agreement, SalesLogix specifically acknowledges that the
foregoing restrictions were bargained for by the parties, that such restrictions
are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Symantec and
that monetary damages would be inadequate compensation for a breach of this
provision.
8.4 Symantec's Status. Based solely on the Common Stock Consideration
Isabel to Symantec hereunder, SalesLogix will not classify or subject Symantec
to treatment as a "control person," "affiliate" or "insider" and will not take
the position that Symantec is subject to SalesLogix's insider trading policy or
the restrictions applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or restrict Symantec
to selling the Shares only during SalesLogix's trading window.
8.5 S-3 Availability. SalesLogix will use its best efforts to become
eligible to use Form S-3 as soon as possible under applicable law, which is
presently expected to be approximately May 27, 2000.
8.6 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date,
Symantec will at SalesLogix' expense, execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, such documents to SalesLogix as SalesLogix may
reasonably request, and from time to time after the Closing Date, SalesLogix
will, at Symantec's expense, execute and deliver such documents to Symantec as
Symantec may reasonably request, in order to more effectively consummate the
transactions and transfers contemplated by this Agreement.
8.7 Assistance. Upon five (5) business days notice, Symantec will
cooperate with and provide to SalesLogix's auditors reasonable access during
Symantec normal business hours to the necessary Symantec business records to
permit such auditors to audit the books and records relating to the ACT! product
line to satisfy SalesLogix's disclosure obligations under law, including but not
limited to preparation of a Form 8-K and other related documents. Any such audit
shall be conducted and access shall be provided in a manner to cause the least
interference possible with the conduct of Symantec's business. SalesLogix shall
reimburse Symantec for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred for preparation or
production of records,
20
<PAGE> 21
reports or information requested by SalesLogix or its auditors that are outside
Symantec's ordinary financial reporting procedures.
8.8 Third Party Consents. Symantec and SalesLogix shall each use
reasonable commercial efforts and shall cooperate together to obtain the Third
Party Consents prior to the Closing Date, as specified in EXHIBIT J.
8.9 ACT!4.0. Because the parties have agreed that the ACT!4.0 for
Windows 95/98/NT ("ACT!4.0") product should be obsolete and because making the
Source Code for ACT!4.0 a Deliverable under this Agreement would be burdensome
given the need to cull out Third Party Software, the parties have agreed to
exclude ACT!4.0 as a Deliverable under this Agreement. If after the Effective
Date the parties discover that it will be necessary for SalesLogix to support
existing copies of ACT!4.0 for Windows products in use by end user customers or
otherwise to assume liabilities with respect to ACT!4.0, the parties shall work
together in good faith to provide SalesLogix with access to the Source Code for
ACT!4.0 or otherwise enable SalesLogix to fulfill such obligations. Any revenue
generated by ACT!4.0 after the Closing Date shall accrue to the benefit of
SalesLogix. Symantec covenants and agrees to archive the Source Code for ACT!4.0
or on before the Closing Date. Other than for the purpose of fulfilling existing
licensing commitments, and subject to Symantec's retained rights to the Shared
Technology and its rights under Sections 2.3 and 2.4, Symantec shall not
directly or indirectly license, reproduce, distribute or prepare Derivative
Works from ACT!4.0 following the Closing Date without SalesLogix's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed.

of Symantec's right, title and interest to the Licensed Programs, subject to the
rights retained pursuant to Section 2.3, and the Derivative Products thereof to
SalesLogix (the "Quit Claim Option"), which quit claim shall be accepted by
SalesLogix without reservation.
9.4 Implementation of Purchase Option Exercise. Promptly following the

9.7 Derivative Works Escrow. From time to time as Derivative Products

semi-annually), SalesLogix shall deposit a copy of all such Derivative Products
(but only for new versions denominated by changes in version number to the left
of the decimal point or similar changes in designation indicative in the
software industry as denominating a new version), including electronic copies of
Source Code and Object Code, as well as physical copies and electronic copies of
Derivative Works of Licensed Materials, with DSI under the Derivative Products
Escrow Agreement, in a form to be agreed upon by the parties prior to Closing.
Such copies of Derivative Products shall be released by DSI to Symantec upon

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall return
all Confidential Information to
22
<PAGE> 23
SalesLogix promptly upon request and in any event within fifteen (15) days of
the termination of this Agreement. Symantec agrees to safeguard any such
Confidential Information received from SalesLogix using measures that are equal
to the standard of performance used by Symantec to safeguard its own
Confidential Information of comparable value, but in no event less than
reasonable care. Symantec will keep confidential and safeguard the Licensed
Products using measures that are equal to the standard of performance used by
Symantec to safeguard its other Confidential Information of comparable value,
but in no event less than reasonable care. Symantec will maintain in full force
and effect any and all existing Intellectual Property rights in the Licensed
Products, subject to the Licenses, provided that SalesLogix reimburses Symantec
for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Symantec to do so. SalesLogix shall
have the right to require Symantec, at SalesLogix's expense, to take such
additional actions as SalesLogix reasonably believes appropriate to obtain,
maintain and enforce other forms of proprietary protection (including without
limitation patent and copyright registration) that are not inconsistent with the
confidential treatment required by this Agreement.
10.2 SalesLogix's Obligations. SalesLogix shall safeguard and keep
confidential all Confidential Information of Symantec delivered to SalesLogix in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall return
all Confidential Information of Symantec to Symantec promptly upon request and

SalesLogix agrees that the Licensed Products are Confidential Information and
valuable trade secrets of Symantec and agrees that except as expressly provided
in this Agreement, all ownership rights therein remain in Symantec and that
SalesLogix will safeguard such Confidential Information using measures that are
equal to the standard of performance used by SalesLogix to safeguard its own
Confidential Information of comparable value, but in no event less than
reasonable care. Prior to exercise of the Purchase Option, SalesLogix will
include Symantec copyright notices in all copies made of any of the Licensed
Products, Derivative Products or substantial portions thereof.
10.3 Joint Obligations. Neither party shall, without the prior written
consent of the other party:
10.3.1 disclose any Confidential Information of the other
party to any person other than an employee or an independent contractor with a
need to know who agrees to be bound by confidentiality agreements containing
provisions no less protective than this Section or as expressly contemplated by
this Agreement;
10.3.2 make any unauthorized copies of Confidential
Information; or
10.3.3 use any Confidential Information of the other party for
any purpose except to implement its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement;
provided, however, that if any party or its representatives is requested or
required to disclose any Confidential Information by a governmental entity or
court order, that party will promptly notify the other party of such request or
requirement in writing so that the other party may seek an appropriate
protective order or other appropriate relief and/or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, and if, in the absence of such relief or waiver,
23
<PAGE> 24
any party or its representatives are, in the opinion of such party's counsel,
legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, then that party may
disclose such of the Confidential Information to the entity compelling
disclosure as is, according to such opinion, required, without liability
hereunder.
10.4 Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. If either party learns of any use
or disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party which is not
permitted under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the party whose
Confidential Information was used or disclosed, stating in reasonable detail all
facts known to it with respect to such unauthorized use or disclosure and shall
cooperate in all respects reasonably requested by the party whose Confidential
Information was used or disclosed or its counsel, at such requesting party's
expense, in such requesting party's pursuit of available remedies against the
person or persons responsible for such unauthorized use or disclosure.
10.5 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that breach of the
foregoing obligations may cause irreparable injury to the party whose
Confidential Information is disclosed and that such party may seek and obtain
injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach without prejudice to
any other remedies which may be available to it.
10.6 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall take effect upon
execution of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SYMANTEC

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary
Agreements by Symantec have been duly and validly approved and authorized by all

applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and (b) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief
and other equitable remedies.
11.1.2 Brokers and Finders. Other than the firm of Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette, no person or firm has, or will have, any right, interest or
valid claim against Symantec for any commission, fee or other compensation in
connection with the Licenses or exercise of the Purchase Option as a finder or
broker or in any similar capacity as a result of any act or omission by
Symantec, or anyone acting on behalf of Symantec. Symantec hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold SalesLogix harmless in connection with the payment of any
such fees.
24
<PAGE> 25
11.1.3 Governmental Consents No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any governmental entity on the part of Symantec is required in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, except for compliance with the HSR Act.
11.1.4 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or currently threatened against Symantec that questions
the validity of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or the right of
Symantec to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
11.1.5 Access to Business Records. Parent: (a) has been
furnished access to the business records of SalesLogix and such additional
information and documents as it may have requested, has been given the
opportunity to meet with SalesLogix officials and to have such persons answer
questions regarding SalesLogix's affairs and condition, and is, on the basis of
such access, opportunity and information, able to make an informed investment
decision regarding its investment in the Shares, and (b) is acquiring the Shares
being purchased: (i) for the account of Symantec, and (ii) for investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of said
Shares or with any present intention of distributing or selling said Shares. No
information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section
shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of SalesLogix
contained herein or the conditions to Symantec's obligations to consummate the
acquisition of the Shares.
11.1.6 Compliance with Other Instruments and Laws. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements by Symantec and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not and will not result in a violation or default in any
material respect of: (a) any provision of the charter documents of Symantec or
(b) any judgment, order, writ, or decree applicable to the assets of Symantec,
or (c) or constitute a default (or event which with the giving of notice or
lapse of time, or both, would become a breach, violation or default) under any
material contract to which it is a party which would have a Material Adverse
Effect on Symantec. Symantec is not in violation or default in any material
respect of any provision of its charter documents, or of any instrument,
judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it
is bound that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Licensed Products, or, to the best of its knowledge, of any provision of any
federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to it that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or the Licensed
Products.
11.1.7 Investment Purpose. Parent is acquiring the Shares for
investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws. Symantec further acknowledges and
understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein.
11.1.8 Investment Risk. Parent acknowledges that it is aware
that it will not be entitled to make any offer or sale of any of the Shares for
an indefinite period unless the offering of those Shares are then registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Although it may be possible in the future to make limited public sales
25
<PAGE> 26
of the Shares without registration in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, Parent is aware that there is no assurance that it will remain available
for this purpose. Accordingly, Parent understands that it must bear the economic
risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period.
11.1.9 Accredited Investor. Parent is an "Accredited Investor"

obligations under this Agreement, except as disclosed in the Symantec Disclosure
Letter), Symantec owns exclusively, free and clear of all Encumbrances, all
right, title and interest in the current version, as of the Effective Date, of
ACT! 2000, including without limitation all Intellectual Property embodied

Software, the Source Code deliverable hereunder shall contain only material that
Symantec is legally entitled to deliver to SalesLogix.
11.2.2 Infringement. To the best of Symantec's knowledge, the
use of the current version, as of the Effective Date, of ACT! 2000 and the
manufacture, licensing and sale thereof does not conflict with, infringe upon or
violate any patent, patent license, patent application, or any pending
application relating thereto, or any copyright or any other Intellectual
Property right of any third person, entity or corporation.
11.2.3 Asserted Claims. There are no pending, or to the best
of Symantec's knowledge, threatened governmental, judicial or adversary
proceedings, hearings, arbitrations, disputes or other claims relating to, and

knowledge of Symantec with respect to, ACT! 2000. The Designated Persons have no
actual knowledge of any infringement by others of the current version of ACT!

Symantec has granted and may continue to grant licenses for the Licensed

2000 Compliant provided that all products (e.g. hardware, software, firmware)

Source Code of ACT! 2000 has not been disclosed to any person or entity other

<PAGE> 28
of Delaware. The copies of SalesLogix's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and Bylaws delivered to Symantec are true, correct and complete copies
of the originals, each of which remains in full force and effect and has not
been repealed or amended. SalesLogix is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business makes
such qualification necessary and appropriate and the failure to so qualify will
not materially and adversely affect SalesLogix, and such qualification remains
in effect and has not been revoked. Except as set forth in the SalesLogix
Disclosure Letter, SalesLogix has no subsidiaries and no equity interest, direct
or indirect, in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture or other business entity.

requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement, to transfer the Shares,
to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and
to carry out its business both as presently conducted and as presently
contemplated. Assuming the accuracy of Symantec's representations in Section
12.1, no consent, authorization, approval, permit or order of, or declaration to
or filing with any governmental or regulatory authority (except for the HSR
Filing) is required in connection with: (i) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, or (ii) the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of
the Shares.
12.3 Capitalization. Immediately prior to the Closing, SalesLogix's
authorized, issued and outstanding stock of all classes and all options, rights,
and warrants with respect to such stock shall be as described on SCHEDULE 12.3
attached hereto. All outstanding shares of each class have been duly and validly
issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with
all applicable securities laws.
12.4 Authority; Enforceability; Reservation of Shares. SalesLogix has
the right, power, legal capacity and authority to enter into, execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
and SalesLogix has all requisite corporate power and authority to consummate all
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the Ancillary
Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each
of the Ancillary Agreements by SalesLogix have been duly and validly approved
and authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of its Board of
Directors and shareholders, including without limitation the authorization,
issuance and delivery of the Shares. The resolution of the Board of Directors
authorizing the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to this
Agreement remains in full force and effect and has not been amended or revoked.
This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are, or when executed by SalesLogix
will be, valid and binding obligations of SalesLogix enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, subject to the effect, if any, of (a) applicable
bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and (b) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other
equitable remedies.
12.5 Issuance of the Shares. The Shares, when issued and transferred to
Symantec in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and will be free and clear of any lien, claim or
Encumbrance created or suffered by SalesLogix, excepting only restrictions on
transfer described in this Agreement. The shares constitute part of the class of
securities that has been registered under the 1934 Act and has been listed on
the Nasdaq National Stock Market. The issuance of the Shares will not be in
violation of any
28
<PAGE> 29
preemptive right of any security holder of SalesLogix. SalesLogix shall, at the
time of Closing, have paid any issuance, transfer or stamp tax connected with
the sale of the Shares. There are no voting agreements, voting trusts, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions (other than normal
restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws) applicable to any of
SalesLogix's outstanding securities or to the issuance of the Shares to Symantec
hereunder. Except as described in the SalesLogix Disclosure Letter or the
Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement dated June 4, 1998, as amended
as of April 22, 1999, SalesLogix is not under any obligation to register under
the Securities Act or under any other securities law, any of its presently
outstanding securities or any securities that may be subsequently issued.
12.6 Financial Statements. True and complete copies of the current
financial statements of SalesLogix, as listed in SCHEDULE 12.6, have been
delivered by SalesLogix to Symantec. Those financial statements: (1) are in
accordance with the books and records of SalesLogix, (2) are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
subject in the case of unaudited interim statements to changes resulting from
year end adjustments, and (3) present fairly in all material respects the
financial position of SalesLogix at the dates, and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the periods, indicated in those statements. As of the date of
the most recent balance sheet listed in SCHEDULE 12.6, SalesLogix did not have
any material debts, liabilities or obligations, whether absolute, accrued,
contingent or otherwise, which are not fully reflected in such balance sheet or
otherwise listed in the financial statements listed on SCHEDULE 12.6, nor has
SalesLogix suffered any Material Adverse Effect since the date of such balance
sheet. All reserves established by SalesLogix and set forth in the such balance
sheet are reasonably adequate. At the date of such balance sheet, there were no
material loss contingencies (as such term is used in United States Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board in March 1975) which are not adequately provided for in such
balance sheet as required by said Statement No. 5.
12.7 Litigation. There are no legal actions, suits, arbitrations or
other legal, administrative or governmental proceedings pending or, to
SalesLogix's knowledge, threatened against SalesLogix which would have a
Material Adverse Effect on it. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or currently threatened against SalesLogix that questions
the validity of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or the right of
SalesLogix to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
12.8 Taxes. SalesLogix has: (a) timely filed all national, state, local
and foreign tax returns required to be filed by it; (b) timely paid all taxes
required to be paid by it in respect of all periods for which returns have been
filed; (c) has timely withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authorities
all taxes and other payments required to be withheld by SalesLogix from salaries
and other compensatory payments paid or payable by SalesLogix to employees or
other service providers paid or payable by SalesLogix; (d) established an
adequate accrual or reserve for the payment of all taxes payable in respect of
the periods subsequent to the periods covered by the most recent applicable tax
returns; (e) timely made all necessary estimated tax payments; and (f) no
material liability for taxes in excess of the amount so paid or accruals or
reserves so established. SalesLogix is not delinquent in the payment of any tax
or in the filing of any tax returns, and no deficiencies for any tax or any
penalties or interest charges have been threatened,
29
<PAGE> 30
claimed, proposed or assessed against SalesLogix. SalesLogix has not received
any notification that any issues have been raised (and are currently pending) by
any taxing authority (including but not limited to any income, franchise, sales
or use tax authority) regarding SalesLogix and no tax return of SalesLogix has
ever been audited by any national, state, local or foreign taxing agency or
authority. To SalesLogix's knowledge, no tax liens have been filed against any
assets of SalesLogix. SalesLogix has not agreed to any extension or waiver of
any statute of limitations governing when any taxing authority may seek to: (a)
recover any payments for taxes from SalesLogix; or (b) audit any tax return or
tax filing made by SalesLogix.
12.9 Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. To SalesLogix's best
knowledge, the business and operations of SalesLogix have been and are being
conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, judgments
and decrees in all material respects. Subject to the accuracy of Symantec's
representations contained in Section 11.1 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance
of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are exempt from
registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities law. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements by SalesLogix and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not result in a violation or
default in any material respect of: (a) any provision of the charter documents
of SalesLogix or (b) any judgment, order, writ, or decree applicable to the
assets of SalesLogix, or (c) or constitute a default (or event which with the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a breach, violation or
default) under any material contract to which it is a party which would have a
Material Adverse Effect on SalesLogix. SalesLogix is not in violation or default
in any material respect of any provision of its charter documents, or of any
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or
by which it is bound that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on it. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement, nor the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Shares, with or
without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, will (i) violate, or
result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
imposition of any Encumbrance upon any asset of SalesLogix pursuant to, any
provision of any corporate charter, bylaws, contract, judgment, decree or other
document or instrument or (ii) will cause SalesLogix to lose the benefit of any
right or privilege it presently enjoys or, to the best of SalesLogix's
knowledge, cause any person who normally does business with SalesLogix to
discontinue to do so on the same basis.
12.10 Permits, Patents, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets. SalesLogix has
all franchises, permits, licenses and other similar authority necessary for the
conduct of its business as now being conducted and as planned to be conducted,
and it is not in material default under any of them. SalesLogix owns or
possesses or has applied for all patents, patent rights, trademarks, trademark
rights, trade names, trade name rights, rights to Intellectual Property and
copyrights necessary to conduct its business as now being conducted and as
planned to be conducted without conflict with or infringement upon any valid
rights of others. Except as disclosed in the SalesLogix Disclosure Letter,
SalesLogix has not received any notice of infringement upon or conflict with the
asserted rights of others.
12.11 No Defaults; Insurance. In all material respects, SalesLogix has
performed all obligations required to be performed by it, and is not in default
under, any contract, commitment or instrument, and no event or condition has
occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default. SalesLogix has insurance coverage in such
30
<PAGE> 31
amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by public companies
engaged in similar businesses and is adequate for the business being conducted,
and the properties owned or leased, by SalesLogix.
12.12 Brokers and Finders. Other than David M. Stastny (Osprey
Ventures, L.P.) and the firm of Hambrecht & Quist, LLC, no person or firm has,
or will have, any right, interest or valid claim against SalesLogix for any
commission, fee or other compensation in connection with the sale of the Shares
as a finder or broker or in any similar capacity as a result of any act or
omission by SalesLogix, or anyone acting on behalf of SalesLogix. SalesLogix
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Symantec harmless in connection with the
payment of such fees.
12.13 SEC Reporting. SalesLogix has filed all reports, registration
statements, proxy statements, and other materials required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the federal
securities laws and rules and regulations thereunder (the "Federal Securities
Laws"). Such reports, registration statements, proxy statements, and other
materials were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Securities Laws, and none of such materials contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. For so long as Symantec owns any of the Shares, SalesLogix shall
file with the Commission all periodic reports, proxy statements, registration
statements and other materials required to be so filed pursuant to the Federal
Securities Laws. The benefits of Rule 144 are currently available with respect
to the common stock of SalesLogix.
12.14 Disclosures. Neither this Agreement (including the Exhibits and
Schedules) nor any writing furnished to Symantec pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement by SalesLogix or anyone acting on its behalf, including, but
not limited to, the financial statements, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact. Together they do not omit to state any material fact required to
make the statements herein or therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which those statements were made. Any projections contained
in any of the aforementioned documents have been prepared in good faith by
SalesLogix on the basis of assumptions which SalesLogix believes to be
reasonable, but SalesLogix makes no representation that its actual operating
results will conform to any such projections.
12.15 Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any governmental entity on the part of SalesLogix is required in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, except for compliance with the HSR Act.
12.16 Compliance with Other Instruments and Laws. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by
SalesLogix and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby do not and will not result in a violation or default in any material
respect of: (a) any provision of the charter documents of SalesLogix or (b) any
judgment, order, writ, or decree applicable to the assets of SalesLogix, or (c)
or constitute a default (or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become a breach, violation or default) under any material
contract to which it is a party. SalesLogix is not in violation or default in
any material respect of any provision of its charter
31
<PAGE> 32
documents, or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to
which it is a party or by which it is bound that could reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on its business, or, to the best of its
knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation
applicable to it that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on it.
12.17 Export Compliance. SalesLogix has complied, is in full
compliance, and will comply with the Export Administration Act and regulations
promulgated thereunder and all other laws, regulations, rules, orders, writs,
injunctions, judgments and decrees applicable to the export or re-export of
controlled commodities or technical data.
12.18 No Exercise of Registration Rights. No investor under any
existing agreement with SalesLogix that grants such investor the right to have
SalesLogix register such investor's shares of SalesLogix for public resale has
exercised any such rights.
13. EMPLOYEE MATTERS
13.1 Right to Offer Employment. Prior to the Closing, SalesLogix shall
have the right to contact the employees of Symantec listed on EXHIBIT R hereto
(the "Employees") at reasonable times agreed upon by SalesLogix and Symantec for
the purpose of making offers of employment with SalesLogix (in each case such
offers of employment shall be contingent on consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement). Offers made to Product Group Employees (as
defined on Exhibit R) shall be effective as of the Closing Date, while offers
made to Support Group Employees (as defined on Exhibit R) shall be effective as
of the end of the Transition Period. Symantec shall notify SalesLogix promptly
if the employment of any Employee is terminated after the Effective Date but
prior to the Closing Date in the case of those Employees designated in EXHIBIT R
as Product Group Employees or prior to the end of the Transition Period in the
case of those employees designated in EXHIBIT R as Support Group Employees. Each
such Employee who is employed by Symantec on the Closing Date and who actually
accepts an offer of employment with SalesLogix (or any affiliate designated by
SalesLogix) effective as of or promptly following the Closing Date or at the end
of the Transition Period as a result of an offer of employment made by
SalesLogix is hereafter referred to as a "New Hire". Symantec hereby consents to
the hiring of each New Hire by SalesLogix and waives, with respect to the
employment by SalesLogix of such New Hire, any claims or rights Symantec may
have against SalesLogix with respect thereto and against any such New Hire under
any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or employment agreement
with respect to the Licensed Products. SalesLogix shall not, however, be
obligated to offer employment to any Employee. Such offers of employment as may
be extended by SalesLogix to Employees who are on a workers'
compensation-related or disability leave or a Family Medical Leave Act leave or
other statutory leave shall be conditioned upon their return from such leave in
accordance with Symantec's leave of absence policy. SalesLogix and Symantec
shall cooperate with one another to encourage the Employees to whom SalesLogix
makes offers of employment to accept such offers and transition from one
employer to the other in a smooth and orderly fashion.
13.2 COBRA Coverage. Symantec shall be responsible for any COBRA
coverage continuation notices or similar employee benefit type notices required
to be provided with
32
<PAGE> 33
respect to any New Hires or Excess Employees (as defined below) or their
qualified beneficiaries under applicable laws.
13.3 Employee Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date with respect to
Product Group Employees and as of the last day of the Transition Period with
respect to Support Group Employees, the New Hires shall cease to be participants
in Symantec's employee benefit plans and shall be treated as terminated
employees under all such plans subject to the vesting, distribution and all
other rights and obligations available to employees who have voluntarily
resigned. SalesLogix shall designate a defined contribution plan that will
accept a direct rollover, within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code,
of the account balances of the New Hires in Symantec's 401(k) plan, including
any loan obligation that a New Hire may have in his or her account in the 401(k)
plan. To the extent a New Hire transfers a loan obligation to SalesLogix's plan,
SalesLogix shall accept repayments of such loan amounts and shall otherwise
administer such loans in accordance with their terms and ERISA until such loan
amounts are repaid or are foreclosed upon.
13.4 WARN Compliant. In the event Symantec affects a reduction or
cessation of the operations or workforce that exists to service or support the
Licensed Products prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date that would be
subject to the Workers' Adjustment and Retraining Act ("WARN"), Symantec shall
provide notice to SalesLogix and perform and undertake all acts as may be
necessary to comply with the applicable provisions, if any, of WARN. In the
event that SalesLogix effects a reduction or cessation of the operations or
workforce that exists to service the Licensed Products subsequent to the Closing
Date that would be subject to WARN, SalesLogix shall perform and undertake all
acts as may be necessary to comply with the applicable provisions of WARN.
13.5 Immigration, Visas. SalesLogix shall be responsible for obtaining
any required visas or other immigration approvals to allow New Hires to become
employed by SalesLogix at whatever location is specified by SalesLogix. Symantec
shall cooperate with and provide information reasonably requested with respect
to such efforts.
13.6 Future Claims. (a) SalesLogix shall be liable for and obligated to
pay and indemnify, and hold Symantec and its Affiliates harmless from, any and
all expenses, contracts, agreements, commitments, obligations, claims, suits,
and other liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown,
accrued or not accrued, fixed or contingent, or arising hereafter, directly or
indirectly, with respect to (i) the employment by SalesLogix or termination of
employment by SalesLogix of any New Hire after the Closing Date, whether in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise; (ii) any
claims of discrimination under state or federal law provided such claims arise
from the New Hire's employment or service with or termination by SalesLogix
after the Closing Date; (iii) any other claims or obligations arising out of the
terms and conditions of employment of any New Hire by SalesLogix whether for
salary, wages, bonuses, profit sharing, commissions, severance, vacation pay,
sick pay or otherwise; or (iv) any duties or obligations of SalesLogix or
administrators under any existing or future employee benefit plans or
arrangements maintained by SalesLogix with respect to its employees; (b)
Symantec shall be liable for and obligated to pay and indemnify, and hold
SalesLogix and its Affiliates harmless from, any and all expenses, contracts,
agreements, commitments, obligations, claims, suits, and other liabilities of
any nature whatsoever, whether
33
<PAGE> 34
known or unknown, accrued or not accrued, fixed or contingent, or arising
hereafter, directly or indirectly, with respect to (i) the employment by
Symantec or termination of employment by Symantec of any current or future
employee or consultant of Symantec or any of its Affiliates, whether in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise (except as to
50% of the severance payments to Excess Employees as provided in Section 13.8);
(ii) any claims of discrimination under state or federal law provided such
claims arise from the New Hire's employment or service with or termination by
Symantec prior to the Closing Date; (iii) any other claims or obligations
arising out of the terms and conditions of employment of any Excess Employee (as
defined below) by Symantec whether for salary, wages, bonuses, profit sharing,
commissions, severance (subject to Section 13.8), vacation pay, sick pay or
otherwise; (iv) any duties or obligations of Symantec or administrators under
any existing or future employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by
Symantec with respect to its employees; or (v) any present or future obligations
or liabilities of Symantec to prior, existing or future employees of Symantec
(subject to Section 13.8).
13.7 Employment Taxes. Symantec and SalesLogix shall each be
responsible for any withholding or employment Taxes with respect to any New
Hires which accrue or become payable during the period of such New Hire's
employment or service with such party or arise out of the termination of such
person's employment with such party. Symantec and SalesLogix shall each be
responsible for filing all United States and non-U.S. federal, state and local
employment Tax returns with respect to New Hires attributable to periods of
employment or service with such party.
13.8 Termination of Employment; Responsibility for Severance. The
parties acknowledge that (i) those Employees not offered employment by
SalesLogix on terms comparable (including compensation and benefits) to the
terms upon which such Employees are employed by Symantec as of the Effective
Date and whom Symantec does not reassign to another position within Symantec's
organization and (ii) those Employees who are offered employment by SalesLogix
who do not accept such offers and whom Symantec does not reassign to another
position within Symantec's organization (collectively the "Excess Employees")
may be terminated by Symantec. SalesLogix hereby covenants and agrees with
Symantec to reimburse Symantec for one-half of the following payments made by
Symantec with respect to Excess Employees: (x) severance payments pursuant to
Symantec's severance policy, a copy of which has been provided to SalesLogix
(provided, however, that SalesLogix shall not be required to pay any portion of
paid time off provided to such Excess Employees), (y) COBRA benefit expenses and
(z) outplacement expenses, if any. Symantec shall issue an invoice to SalesLogix
within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date specifying the amount, if any,
owed to Symantec by SalesLogix under this Section 13.8 with respect to Product
Group Employees, which invoice shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of
receipt by SalesLogix. Symantec shall issue an invoice to SalesLogix within
forty-five (45) days of the last day of the Transition Period specifying the
amount, if any, owed to Symantec by SalesLogix under this Section 13.8 with
respect to Support Group Employees, which invoice shall be due and payable
within ten (10) days of receipt by SalesLogix.
13.9 No Solicitation. Except as provided by law, for a period of
eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, SalesLogix shall not actively
solicit any employee of Symantec to terminate his or her employment with
Symantec or to become an employee of SalesLogix. For
34
<PAGE> 35
purposes of this Section, the term "actively solicit" shall not mean or include
the placement of general advertisements, participation in career days, or
responding to unsolicited inquiries, applications or resumes.
13.10 No Rights Conferred Upon Employees. Nothing in this Section 13 or
any other provision of this Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies on any
employee (including without limitation any Employee, New Hire or Excess
Employee) of Symantec and no employee of Symantec (including without limitation
any Employee, New Hire or Excess Employee) shall be a third party beneficiary
with respect to any covenant, representation or agreement in this Agreement.
13.11 Survivability. Each of the agreements and covenants set forth in
this Section 13 shall survive the Closing.
13.12 Other Employee Related Matters. Certain other employee related
matters shall be handled as provided in the Transition Agreement.
14. INDEMNIFICATION

term "LOSS" will mean and include any and all Liability, loss, damage, claim,
expense, cost, fine, fee, penalty, obligation, injury or amounts paid in
settlement, including, without limitation, those resulting from any and all
claims, actions, suits, demands, assessments, investigations, judgments, orders,
awards, arbitrations, settlements or other proceedings, together with reasonable

relating thereto. As used in this Section 14, the term "SalesLogix Indemnities"
means and includes SalesLogix, any present or future officer, director,
employee, affiliate, stockholder or agent of SalesLogix and its or their
respective successors and assigns. As used in this Section 14, the term
"Symantec Indemnities" means and includes Symantec and any present or future
officer, director, employee, affiliate, stockholder or agent of Symantec and its
respective successors and assigns.
14.2 Indemnification by Symantec. Symantec agrees, subject to the other
terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement (including the provisions of
Section 14.5 hereof), to indemnify SalesLogix and each of the other SalesLogix
Indemnities against, and to hold SalesLogix and each of the other SalesLogix
Indemnities harmless from, all Loss arising out of, resulting from, caused by or
attributable to:
(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of Symantec
contained in this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto), to be
true and correct as of the Closing Date, and even though disclosed, the Simple
Sophistication Claim disclosed in the Symantec Disclosure Letter;
(b) the breach or violation by Symantec of any covenant or
agreement of Symantec contained in this Agreement (including any schedule or
exhibit hereto) or the Ancillary Agreements required to be performed after the
Closing Date; and
35
<PAGE> 36
(c) the operation of the business of exploiting the Licensed

other than the Transferred Liabilities.
14.3 Indemnification by SalesLogix. SalesLogix agrees, subject to the
other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement (including the
provisions of Section 14.5 hereof), to indemnify Symantec and each of the other
Symantec Indemnities against, and to hold Symantec and each of the other
Symantec Indemnities harmless from, all Loss arising out of, resulting from,
caused by or attributable to:
(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of
SalesLogix contained in this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit
hereto), to be true and correct as of the Closing Date;
(b) the breach or violation by SalesLogix of any covenant or
agreement of SalesLogix contained in this Agreement (including any schedule or
exhibit hereto), the Ancillary Agreements required to be performed after the
Closing Date;
(c) the operation of the business of exploiting the Licensed
Products and Derivative Products after the Closing Date; and
(d) the Transferred Liabilities.
14.4 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) As used herein, an "Indemnified Party" means a SalesLogix
Indemnitee seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 14.2 or a Symantec
Indemnitee seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 14.3 hereof. The
Indemnified Party agrees to give the other party ("Indemnitor") prompt written
notice of any event, or any claim, action, suit, demand, assessment,
investigation, arbitration or other proceeding by or in respect of a third party
(a "Third Party Claim") of which it has knowledge, for which such Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 14 (including in any
case copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been
served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document
evidencing or asserting the same). No delay on the part of an Indemnified Party
in giving the Indemnitor notice of a Third Party Claim shall relieve the
Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent)
that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby.
(b) The Indemnitor will have the right, at its sole cost and
expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with
counsel of the Indemnitor's choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party
in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of
the Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor intends to undertake such defense,
(ii) the Indemnitor provides each Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor will have the financial
resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its
Indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only
money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv)
settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is
not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a
precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the
36
<PAGE> 37
continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Indemnitor
conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently; and (vi)
the counsel chosen by the Indemnitor does not have any conflict of interest in
representing the interests of the Indemnified Party.
(c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the
Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.3 (b) above, (i) the Indemnified
Party may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of the Third
Party Claim at its own cost and expense (except as provided below) and shall
have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications
with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent no privilege is thereby
waived, (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in settlement negotiations
with respect to the Third Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Third Party Claim unless (A) each affected Indemnified Party consents thereto in
writing (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld) or (B) the settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release from all Liability with
respect to the claim in favor of each affected Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party is offered a written
settlement proposal by a third party that has as its sole component the payment
of money by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor recommends to the
Indemnified Parties in writing that they accept such settlement proposal (the
"Sanctioned Settlement") and the Indemnified Parties refuse to accept such
settlement proposal, in such event if the ultimate settlement terms agreed to by
the Indemnified Party with such third party or the final monetary damages award
against the Indemnified Parties after exhaustion of all appeals either referred
to as (the "Final Settlement Amount"), is greater than the amount of the
Sanctioned Settlement, the Indemnified Party shall be responsible for the
differential between the Final Settlement Amount and the Sanctioned Settlement
and the Indemnitor's liability shall be limited to the amount specified in the
Sanctioned Settlement.
(d) If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume control of or
otherwise participate in the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim, or
if the Indemnitor does so elect but any of the conditions in Section 14.3 (b)
above is or becomes unsatisfied, or if the Indemnitor ceases to any time to
actively defend the Third Party Claim, then, (i) the Indemnified Party may
defend against and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim, provided, however, that the
Indemnitor (A) shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices
and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim so long as the receipt
of such documents by the Indemnitor does not affect any attorney-client
privilege relating to the Indemnified Party, and (B) may participate in
settlement negotiations with respect to the Third Party Claim and the
Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement without the prior written
consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
(ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and
periodically for all costs and expenses incurred in defending against the Third
Party Claim (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' and experts'
fees and expenses and court and arbitration costs), and (iii) the Indemnitor
will remain responsible for any Loss the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting
from, arising out of, relating to or caused by the Third Party Claim to the
fullest extent provided in this Section 14.
37
<PAGE> 38
14.5 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) Limits on Symantec Indemnification. Symantec shall not be
required to provide indemnification under this Section 14 unless and until the
aggregate Loss for which one or more SalesLogix Indemnities seeks
indemnification hereunder exceeds an aggregate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) (the "Symantec Basket"), in which event Symantec shall be liable to
indemnify the SalesLogix Indemnities for all Loss in excess of the Symantec
Basket. The maximum aggregate Loss recoverable by SalesLogix Indemnities
(considered together as a group) against Symantec under this Section 14 shall
not exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the "Symantec Cap").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Symantec Basket and the Symantec Cap
shall not apply to that certain potential infringement matter disclosed in the
Symantec Disclosure Letter and (ii) SalesLogix and any other Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to recover any Loss arising from fraud or willful misconduct
on the part of Symantec.
(b) Limits on SalesLogix Indemnification. SalesLogix shall not
be required to provide indemnification under this Section 14 unless and until
the aggregate Loss for which one or more SalesLogix Indemnities seeks
indemnification hereunder exceeds an aggregate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) (the "SalesLogix Basket"), in which event SalesLogix shall be liable
to indemnify the Symantec Indemnities for all Loss in excess of the SalesLogix
Basket. The maximum aggregate Loss recoverable by Symantec Indemnities
(considered together as a group) against SalesLogix under this Section 14 shall
not exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the "SalesLogix Cap").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Symantec and any other Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to recover any Loss arising from fraud or willful misconduct
on the part of Symantec, and (ii) the SalesLogix Cap and the SalesLogix Basket
shall not be applicable to the payment of Royalties due hereunder which must be
paid to and may be recovered by Symantec irrespective of any other claims made
or recoveries received pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.
(c) Time Limits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no claim for indemnification under this Section 14 may be brought
after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that
with respect to the representations and warranties regarding Taxes a claim for
indemnification under this Section 14 may be brought until the end of the
statutory period. To preserve a claim for indemnification under this Section 14,
an Indemnified Party need only provide written notice in reasonable detail of
such claim to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of the applicable time
limit described in the preceding sentence; and if an Indemnified Party provides
such notice prior to the expiration of such time limit, such Indemnified Party
may pursue such claim for indemnification after the expiration of such time
limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SalesLogix shall indemnity Symantec and
each of the other Symantec Indemnities against, and hold Symantec and each of
the other Symantec Indemnities harmless from, all Loss arising out of, resulting
from, caused by or attributable (i) to the operation by SalesLogix of the
business of exploiting the Licensed Products and Derivative Products after the
Anniversary Date and (ii) the Transferred Liabilities; provided, however, that
such obligations shall cease as of the date the Purchase Option or Quit Claim
Option is exercised.
14.6 Indemnity After the Royalty Term. If the Licenses convert to
perpetual Licenses under Section 9.1 and neither the Purchase Option nor the
Quit Claim Option is exercised, then
38
<PAGE> 39
the indemnity obligations imposed by this Section 14 upon SalesLogix shall be
without any time limits whatsoever and thereafter shall not be subject to the
SalesLogix Basket or the SalesLogix Cap.
14.7 No Setoff against Royalties. SalesLogix shall not be entitled to
set off against the Royalties payable to Symantec hereunder any claims for Loss
or other claims for indemnity.
14.8 Remedy Limitations. Except with respect to the payment obligations
under Section 6.6 and 13.8 of this Agreement and the payment obligations under
the Transition Agreement, the foregoing provisions of this Section 14 shall be
the sole remedy of an indemnified party for: (a) any failure of a representation
or warranty as described in Section 14.2(a) or Section 14.3(a); (b) the matters
described in Section 14.2(c), Section 14.3(c) or Section 14.3(d); or (c) any
breach or violation of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or
the Ancillary Agreements required to be performed after the Closing Date under
Section 14.2(b) or Section 14.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
post-Closing breach or violation as described in Section 14.2(b) or Section
14.3(b) does not give rise to an indemnification right because of the passage of
the applicable time limit set forth in Section 14.5(c), then the party against
whom such breach is committed shall retain the right to bring a breach of
contract claim for appropriate damages and/or equitable relief; provided,
however, that such claim shall be subject to the Symantec Basket and Symantec
Cap or the SalesLogix Basket and SalesLogix Cap, as the case may be, to the same
extent as if such claim had been brought as a claim for indemnification under
Section 14.2(b) or Section 14.3(b). Nothing contained in this Section 14.8 shall
be deemed to restrict (i) a party's ability to seek and obtain injunctive
relief, (ii) a party's ability to terminate this Agreement in accordance with
its terms, or (iii) Symantec's ability to recover unpaid Royalties.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLICENSE
15.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on the

only and are not to be used to interpret this Agreement.

party with an opportunity to comment on any such press release. Prior to the

invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of

threatened breach by SalesLogix or Symantec of the provisions of this Agreement,

titles of Software to be covered by Upgrade Insurance by submission of a

in an amount equal to the then current Insurance Fees for such copies. Upgrade
Insurance for such additional copies of Software will be subject to the same

acceptance of such purchase order. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that any and
all new copies of the complete Software program provided hereunder are for
replacement of the copies of the Software licensed to Licensee under the
Original agreement and are not provided as additional copies. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as increasing the number of copies of Software
licensed to Licensee.
Insurance Fee:

initial term of this Agreement the Insurance Fee set forth above, and
(ii) for each renewal term if this Agreement is renewed as set forth
below, the Insurance Fee above, or if Symantec increases or decreases
the Insurance Fee, the Insurance Fee as so increased or decreased by
Symantec. Symantec reserves the right to increase or decrease the
Insurance Fee for any renewal term.
(b) Licensee will pay Symantec the Insurance Fee for the rights granted
herein within thirty (30) days after execution of this Agreement by
Licensee and within thirty (30) days after the beginning of each
subsequent renewal term. Licensee agrees to pay any and all sales, use,
value added, excise and similar taxes on payments to Symantec under

Effective Date. Licensee may request renewal of this Agreement for successive

the amount of the Insurance Fee. The licensing of additional copies will be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Original Agreement
only and will not be subject to any terms and conditions of Licensee's purchase
order even if such purchase order is accepted in writing by Symantec. Renewal of
this Agreement will be effective upon Symantec's written acceptance of such

licensed to Licensee for use subject to all the terms and conditions, including

License Agreement. Symantec consents to SalesLogix making a notation on its
records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the
restrictions on transfer established in this Section 1.
1.4 Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment or transfer of any Shares, unless the Shares are to be transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 or there is in effect a registration statement under the
Act covering the proposed transfer, Symantec shall give written notice to
SalesLogix of Symantec's intention to effect such transfer, sale or assignment.
Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale or assignment in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied at
Symantec's expense by either (a) an unqualified written opinion of legal counsel
who shall, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory to
SalesLogix, addressed to SalesLogix, to the effect that the proposed transfer of
the Shares may be effected without registration or qualification under the Act
and applicable state "blue sky" statutes, rules and regulations ("Blue Sky
Laws"), or (b) a "no action" letter from the Commission and applicable state
"blue sky" regulators (the "Regulators") to the effect that the transfer of such
securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff
of the Commission or the Regulators that action be taken with respect thereto,
or (c) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to SalesLogix,
whereupon Symantec shall be entitled to transfer such Shares in accordance with
the terms of the notice delivered by Symantec to SalesLogix. Each certificate
evidencing the Shares transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such
transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to a registration, the
appropriate restrictive legends referred to in this Section 1, except that such
certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel
for Symantec and SalesLogix, such legend is not required in order to establish
compliance with any provisions of the Act.
1.5 Symantec Request for Registration.
(a) If at any time after June 1, 2000 at a time when Form S-3
is not available, for whatever reason, for the registration of the Registrable
Securities owned by Symantec, SalesLogix shall receive a written request from
Symantec that SalesLogix file a registration Statement under the Act covering
the registration of at least 20% of the Registrable Securities owned by Symantec
and Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price
(before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $5,000,000, then
SalesLogix shall:
(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof given
written notice of such request to all other Holders; and
(ii) effect as soon as practicable, and in any event
within sixty (60) days of such request, the registration under the Act of all
Registrable Securities which Symantec and the other Holders request, within
twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by SalesLogix in accordance with
Section 3.5, to be registered subject to the limitations of Section 1.5(b).
M-3
<PAGE> 4
(b) If Symantec intends to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so
advise SalesLogix as a part of its request made pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and
SalesLogix shall include such information in the written notice referred to in
Section 1.5(a)(i). The underwriter will be selected by SalesLogix and shall be
reasonably acceptable to Symantec. In such event, the right of any Holder to
include his Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually
agreed by Symantec and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with SalesLogix as provided in Section 1.6(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 1.5, if the underwriter advises Symantec or SalesLogix in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then upon notice of such from Symantec or the underwriter,
SalesLogix shall so advise all Holders that would otherwise be underwritten
pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated first to Symantec and then
second to the other Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion (as nearly
as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by
each such Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable
Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all
securities not holding registration rights are first entirely excluded from the
underwriting.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if SalesLogix shall furnish
to Symantec a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of SalesLogix
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of SalesLogix,
it would be seriously detrimental to SalesLogix and its stockholders for such
registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the
filing of such registration statement, SalesLogix shall have the right to defer
taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 90 days
after receipt of the request; provided, however, that SalesLogix may not utilize
this right more than once in any twelve-month period.
(d) In addition, SalesLogix shall not be obligated to effect,
or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.5;
(i) After SalesLogix has effected two registrations
pursuant to this Section 1.5 and such registrations has been declared or ordered
effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date thirty
(30) days prior to SalesLogix's good faith estimate of the date of filing of and
ending on a date sixty (60) days after the effective date of a registration
subject to Section 1.6 hereof; provided that SalesLogix is actively employing in
good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and the number of Registrable Securities owned by Symantec included in
such registration is equal to or greater than the number of shares that Symantec
requested registration for under this Section 1.5;
M-4
<PAGE> 5
(iii) if Symantec proposes to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant
to a request made pursuant to Section 1.14 below.
1.6 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so)
SalesLogix proposes, after the date of this Agreement, to register (including
for this purpose a registration effected by SalesLogix for stockholders other
than Symantec) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection
with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than (i) a
registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a
SalesLogix stock plan; (ii) a registration on any form which does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or (iii)
a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered);
including (but not limited to) any registration made pursuant to Section 1.2(a)
of the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated June 4, 1998, as
amended as of April 22, 1999 (the "Restated Existing Agreement"), SalesLogix
shall at such time promptly give Symantec written notice of such registration.
Upon the written request of Symantec given within twenty (20) days after mailing
of such notice by SalesLogix in accordance with Section 3.5, SalesLogix shall,
subject to the provisions of Sections 1.8 and 1.10, cause to be registered under
the Act all of the Registrable Securities that Symantec has requested to be
registered. If Symantec decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities
in any registration statement thereafter filed by SalesLogix, Symantec shall
nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in
any subsequent registration statement or statements as may be filed by
SalesLogix with respect to offerings of its securities (whether for itself or
secondary offerings for the benefit of other stockholders), all upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein.
1.7 Obligations of SalesLogix. Whenever required under this Section 1
to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, SalesLogix shall as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep
such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty
(120) days or until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement
has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120 day period shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the period Symantec refrains from selling
any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of
Common Stock (or other securities) of SalesLogix; and (ii) in the case of any
registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be
offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period shall be extended,
if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold; provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule
under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and
provided further that applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation to
file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective
amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the
incorporation by reference of information required to
M-5
<PAGE> 6
be included in (I) and (II) above to be contained in periodic reports filed
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act in the registration statement.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to Symantec such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by it.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by
Symantec; provided that SalesLogix shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless SalesLogix is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Act.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Symantec and
each other Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and
perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by SalesLogix are then listed.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.
(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable
Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a
registration pursuant, if such securities are being sold through underwriters,
or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that
the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective,
(i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing SalesLogix
for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily
given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably
satisfactory to Symantec, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders
M-6
<PAGE> 7
requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated as of
such date, from the independent certified public accountants of SalesLogix, in
form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably
satisfactory to Symantec, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
1.8 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of SalesLogix to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to SalesLogix such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable
Securities.
1.9 Expenses of Registration. SalesLogix shall bear and pay all
expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification
of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to this
Section 1 for Symantec, including (without limitation) all federal and "blue
sky" registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees
relating or apportionable thereto, the fees and disbursements of counsel for
SalesLogix and the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders
selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to Registrable Securities.
1.10 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of Shares of SalesLogix's capital stock, SalesLogix
shall not be required under Section 1.6 to include any of the Holder's
securities in such underwriting unless the Holder accepts the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between SalesLogix and the underwriters selected by
it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in
such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not,
jeopardize the success of the offering by SalesLogix. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
SalesLogix that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is
compatible with the success of the offering, then SalesLogix shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the Holders according to the total
amount of securities requested to be included therein owned by each selling
Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such
selling Holders, but in no event shall (i) the amount of securities of the
selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%)
of the total amount of securities included in such offering, (ii)
notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by Symantec pursuant to
exercise of a demand registration right under Section 1.5 or by holders pursuant
to exercise of a demand right under Section 1.2(a) of the Restated Existing
Agreement be excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a
Holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
stockholder," and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling
stockholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling stockholder," as defined in this sentence.
M-7
<PAGE> 8
1.11 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.12 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, SalesLogix will indemnify
and hold harmless Symantec and each other Holder, the officers and directors of
each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of
the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act
or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (individually and
collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by SalesLogix of the Act, the 1934 Act, any federal or state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act
or any federal or state securities law; and SalesLogix will pay to each such
Holder, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
1.12(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of SalesLogix (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall
SalesLogix be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
any such Holder, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless SalesLogix, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls SalesLogix within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other
Holder selling securities in such registration statement or any of such Holder's
officers and directors, and any person who controls such underwriter or other
Holder within the meaning of the Act of 1934 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which SalesLogix or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder,
director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject,
under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise
out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to
the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection
with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by SalesLogix or any such director, officer,
controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, officer, director or
controlling person of such Holder, in
M-8
<PAGE> 9
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 1.12(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, that, in no event shall the total amounts payable in
indemnity by a Holder under this Section 1.12(b) exceed the net proceeds
received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation
arises.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.12 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.12, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own separate counsel
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.12, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 1.12.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing
indemnity agreements of SalesLogix and Holders are subject to the condition
that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus
but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the
time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final
Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any
person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party
and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or
damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Act.
(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution to joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (1)
any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of
any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.12
but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a
court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 1.12 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (2) contribution under the Act may be
required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person
in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 1.12,
then, and in each such case, SalesLogix and such Holder will contribute to the
M-9
<PAGE> 10
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is
responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by and sold under such registration statement, and SalesLogix and other
selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however,
that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B)
no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are
in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control.
(g) The obligations of SalesLogix and Holders under this
Section 1.12 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.13 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
making available to Symantec the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act
and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder
to sell securities of SalesLogix to the public without registration, SalesLogix
agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of SalesLogix under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish to Symantec, so long as Symantec owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by
SalesLogix that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144,
the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such
reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of SalesLogix and such other reports and documents so filed by
SalesLogix, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
1.14 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from
Symantec or any other Holder or Holders a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or
compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
M-10
<PAGE> 11
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all
such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit
or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's
or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together
with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or
Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.14: (1) if
Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Holders,
together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to
inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such
other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any
underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $1,000,000; (3) if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of
the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
Registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after
receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.14;
provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once
in any twelve (12) month period; (4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12)
month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two
registrations on Form S-3 for Symantec pursuant to this Section 1.14; or (5) in
any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to
do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting
such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a
registration requested pursuant to Section 1.14, including (without limitation)
all registration, filing, qualification, printer's and accounting fees and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling Holder or Holders
and counsel for the Company, but excluding any underwriters' discounts or
commissions associated with Registrable Securities, shall be borne by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to bear such
expenses in connection with more than one such Form S-3 Registration that
includes shares on behalf of Symantec within any twelve (12) month period.
1.15 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause SalesLogix
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.5, Section 1.6 and
Section 1.14 may not be assigned by Symantec, without the prior written consent
of SalesLogix, which may be granted or withheld in its discretion; except that
such rights may be assigned by the Holder without SalesLogix's prior written
consent (but only with all related obligations) in connection with a transfer
made pursuant to Section 1.4 provided that the transferee or assignee of such
securities will, after such assignment or transfer, hold at least 100,000 shares
of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations); and further provided
that: (a) SalesLogix is, within a reasonable time after such transfer and
assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee and assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee and assignee agrees
in writing to be bound by and subject to the
M-11
<PAGE> 12
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the
provisions of Section 1.16 below; and (c) such assignment shall be effective
only if immediately following such transfer and assignment the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under
the Act. Any such transferee and assignee shall be deemed a Holder for the
purposes of this Agreement.
1.16 Termination of Registration Rights.
(1) No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided
for in this Section 1 after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date hereof.
(2) In addition, the right of any Holder to request inclusion
in any registration pursuant to Section 1 shall terminate on the second (2nd)
anniversary of the date hereof if all Shares of Registrable Securities held by
such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90 day period, or
on such date after such second anniversary as all Shares of Registrable
Securities held by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any
90 day period; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 1.16(b)
shall not apply to Symantec or any other Holder who owns more than two percent
(2%) of SalesLogix's outstanding stock until such time as Symantec or such
Holder owns less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of SalesLogix.
1.17 Acknowledgment of Other Grants of Registration Rights. Symantec
acknowledges that SalesLogix has previously granted registration rights relating
to Common Stock of SalesLogix, pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements and
will be granting additional registration rights to BA Technology I, LLC and GE
Capital Equity Investments, Inc. pursuant to a registration rights agreement to
be dated on or about the date hereof and substantially in the form provided to
Symantec (the "New Rights Agreement") and that Symantec's rights under Section
1.6 (subject to Section 1.10) hereof shall be pari passu with the piggyback
rights of the Holders under such agreements, and that Symantec's rights under
this Agreement are subject to the rights of the holders under such agreements.
1.18 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the
date of this Agreement, SalesLogix shall not, without the prior written consent
of Symantec, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of
any securities of SalesLogix which would allow such holder or prospective holder
to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.5 or 1.14
hereof , unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective
holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent
that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of the
Registrable Securities of Symantec which is included. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, SalesLogix may grant piggyback registration rights (including under
the New Rights Agreement) pursuant to which such holder or prospective holder
may include such securities in any registration under Section 1.6 if the
inclusion of its securities are subject to reduction on a pro rata basis with
the Registrable Securities of Symantec on the basis set forth in Section 1.10.
1.19 Rule 144A Information; PORTAL. If in the future SalesLogix is
neither subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934
Act, nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the 1934 Act,
SalesLogix shall during such time provide in

written form, upon the written request of Symantec, or a prospective purchaser
of securities of SalesLogix from Symantec, all information required by Rule
144A(d)(4)(i) of the General Regulations promulgated under the Act ("144A
Information"); SalesLogix further agrees, upon written request, to cooperate
with and assist Symantec or any member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. system for Private Offerings Resales and Trading through Automated
Linkages ("PORTAL") in applying to designate and thereafter maintaining the
eligibility of the SalesLogix's securities for trading through PORTAL. With
respect to each, SalesLogix's obligations under this Section shall at all times
be contingent upon Symantec obtaining from a prospective purchaser an agreement
to take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the 144A Information from
disclosure to anyone other than employees of the prospective purchaser who
require access to the 144A Information for the sole purpose of evaluating its
purchase of SalesLogix's securities.
