                            CALCULATION OF FILING FEE


Transaction Valuation*                                      Amount of Filing Fee
$42,037,248                                                 $8,408

<PAGE>   2

*    Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The filing fee
     calculation assumes the purchase of 11,130,314 outstanding shares of common
     stock of Continuus Software Corporation at a purchase price of $3.46 per
     share. The transaction value also includes (a) the offer price of $3.46 per
     share less $1.73 per share (which is the average exercise price of
     outstanding options which have an exercise price below $3.46) multiplied by
     1,898,577 (which is the number of outstanding options which have an
     exercise price below $3.46); (b) the offer price of $3.46 per share less
     $1.38 (which is the average purchase price of shares purchaseable under
     employee stock purchase plans of Continuus Software Corporation) multiplied
     by 80,216 (which is the number of shares purchaseable under the employee
     stock purchase plans of Continuus Software Corporation);

     and (c) the offer price of $3.46 per share less $0.81 (which is the average
     exercise price of outstanding warrants which have an exercise price below
     $3.46) multiplied by 28,292 (which is the number of outstanding warrants
     which have an exercise price below $3.46). The amount of the filing fee
     calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934, as amended, equals 1/50 of 1% of the transaction value.

     previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement
