PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company provides Internet-based, business-to-business software
solutions for retailers and their trading partners. The Company's software
offers a retail focused solution that incorporates technology that can predict
customer demand and behavior, which the Company refers to as predictive
technology. The Company's software solutions enable retailers to use the
Internet to communicate and collaborate efficiently with their suppliers,
distributors, wholesalers, logistics providers, brokers, transportation
companies, consolidators and manufacturers. The Company seeks to further enhance
the ability of retailers to interact with their supply chain through retail.com,
which the Company believes is the first electronic commerce network providing
collaborative business-to-business software solutions to the retail industry.
The Company markets its software solutions through its direct and indirect
sales channels primarily to retailers who sell to their customers via
traditional retail stores, catalogs and/or Internet-based store fronts. To date,
the Company has licensed its solutions across a variety of retail industry
sectors to over 100 retailers. The Company expects its retail.com network
offering to extend its target market by making its solutions available to small
and mid-sized retailers and their trading partners.
On November 23, 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering.
Prior to the completion of its initial public offering, the Company was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC Software, Inc. (HNC), a business-to-business
software company that develops and markets predictive software solutions. HNC
currently owns approximately 86.0% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
HNC has informed the Company that it is HNC's current intention to distribute
pro rata to its stockholders, as a dividend, all of the shares of the Company's
common stock that HNC owns, subject to the satisfaction and fulfillment of
several conditions, including the receipt of a written ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service that the distribution qualifies for tax-free treatment under
Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, HNC has the sole discretion
to determine whether it will carry out the distribution, and if the distribution
is carried out, the timing, structure and terms of the distribution.
The Company was originally incorporated in Ohio in 1985 as Practical
Control Solutions, Inc. ("PCS"), which was renamed Retek Logistics, Inc. in
April 1999. In September 1999, Retek Logistics, Inc. was reincorporated as a
Delaware corporation and renamed Retek Inc. The Company's principal executive
office is located at Midwest Plaza, 801 Nicollet Mall, 11th Floor, Minneapolis,
MN 55402, and its telephone number is (612) 630-5700. The Company's common stock
is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "RETK". All references
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the "Company," the "Registrant" or "Retek"
refer to Retek Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
RETEK SOLUTION
Most large and mid-sized retailers have historically relied upon
custom-built systems, typically developed internally, to manage their
interactions with trading partners and customers. Many of these systems use
1970s mainframe technology, are not Internet-based, and do not permit
collaboration among the retailer's partners, suppliers and other members of the
supply chain. More recently, retailers have begun to purchase packaged solutions
with a specific retail industry focus. These products typically lack the
scalability required by larger retailers and are not Internet-based. Being
"scalable" means being able to support growth in customers, products and stores.
Enterprise resource planning systems have also been adopted on a limited scale.
These complex systems are expensive to implement and maintain, typically lack
the scalability required by retailers, and do not have a specific retail
industry focus. Recently introduced business-to-business electronic commerce
products do not offer specific retail industry focus and typically lack the
scalability and integration required by retailers.
The Company believes that a market opportunity exists to provide retailers
with a business-to-business software solution that is Internet-based,
collaborative and designed specifically for the retail industry. This
3
<PAGE> 5
solution should be easy-to-use, leverage a retailer's existing investments in
information technology and be flexible enough to meet the specific needs of a
particular retail sector, such as fashion, mass merchandise, food and drug. In
addition, the solution should be highly scalable to process and analyze vast
amounts of customer sales and supplier performance data unique to the retail
industry.
The Company has developed and deployed Internet-based, business-to-business
software solutions that enable retailers to manage the entire retail supply
chain. The key features of the Company's software solutions are:
- Collaborative retail supply chain. The Company's solutions
electronically link retailers with their trading partners to facilitate
collaboration across all aspects of the supply chain, from the initial
prediction of customer demand through product design and manufacturing,
to inventory management. The Company believes that by facilitating this
collaboration, it will enable retailers to reduce unnecessary costs and
time-to-market, while increasing product quality and improving margins.
- Robust, predictive and analytic technologies. The Company's solutions
provide advanced predictive tools to process and analyze the vast amounts
of data available to retailers. The Company's unique, proprietary
technologies enable retailers to identify patterns in data that may not
otherwise be visible. This information helps the Company's customers
reduce inventories, increase marketing effectiveness and improve customer
satisfaction.
- Internet-based, easy-to-use and rapidly deployable solutions. The
Company's Internet-based software solutions are easy to use and rapidly
deployable. Retailers and their trading partners can access the Company's
software from any desktop with an Internet interface, and the Company's
software can be made available to all employees. Furthermore, because the
Company's software solutions are Internet-based, their deployment can
reduce capital infrastructure and maintenance costs.
- Highly scalable and retail sector focused. The Company's Internet-based
solutions are built specifically to address the unique scalability
requirements of the retail industry. In addition, the Company has
developed solutions that meet the specific requirements of particular
retail sectors, including fashion, mass merchandise, food and drug.
STRATEGY
The Company's objective is to be the leading provider of Internet-based,
business-to-business software solutions for retailers and their trading
partners. As the retail supply chain evolves into an electronic network, the
Company seeks to further enable its customers to better manage, organize and
drive efficiencies through this network. Key elements of the Company's strategy
include:
- Extending the Company's Internet-based, business-to-business
collaborative software solution, principally through the introduction of
the Company's retail.com network. By leveraging the Company's
technological advantages, customer base and retail expertise, the Company
intends to make retail.com the electronic commerce network for
business-to-business commerce among retailers and their trading partners.
The retail.com network is designed to provide a single point of access
for all members of the retail supply chain and offer a broad range of
software solutions that enable a rich and collaborative information
exchange between retailers and their trading partners. This
Internet-based, retail focused, business-to-business software solution
permits interactive collaboration on the wide range of supply and demand
chain issues that retailers encounter.
- Introducing existing customers to a broader offering of the Company's
software solutions. The Company intends to expand the use of its
products within existing client accounts. The Company has sold its
software solutions products to more than 100 retailers, primarily large
companies, across a range of retail sectors. The Company intends to
further penetrate these accounts by cross-selling its other software
solutions or suites of software solutions, all of which are independently
4
<PAGE> 6
deployable, and by introducing clients to the new collaborative software
solution offering at retail.com.
- Leveraging the Company's experience in retail. The Company will continue
to leverage its expertise in providing solutions to retailers. Since its
formation, the Company has developed and deployed software solutions
designed specifically for retailers. The Company's solutions address the
need of retailers to process and track the millions of transactions they
complete with their consumers and to communicate and transact business
with their large, geographically diverse supply chain members. This focus
on the retail industry permits the Company to constantly update and
expand its offerings and to effectively develop new technologies to
address the specific needs of the retail industry.
- Expanding the Company's relationship with implementation and hosting
partners. The Company has established relationships with large,
international system integrators and consulting firms, such as Andersen
Consulting and KPMG. These firms provide sales leads, implementation
expertise and valuable third party endorsement of the Company's software
solutions. The Company plans to expand these relationships to increase
its capacity to sell and implement its solutions. Systems integrators and
consulting firms have a strong influence on software purchasing decisions
within large companies, and they are increasingly seeking Internet-based
collaborative software solutions that allow them to satisfy their
clients' needs more rapidly than they can through customized product
development. In addition, the Company intends to continue to offer its
software solutions through Internet-based applications service providers
for retailers that want a third party to host their solutions. The
Company believes that the application service provider option will be
particularly attractive to pure electronic commerce retail companies, as
well as to small and mid-sized retailers that typically have limited
internal information technology resources.
- Extending the Company's technological leadership. The Company intends to
increase its technological and product leadership by enhancing the core
functionality and high performance analytic features of its products. The
Company believes that its software solutions, derived from the
proprietary analytic and predictive technology of HNC and enhanced by the
Company's research scientists, provide the Company with a first mover
advantage and an essential basis for the comprehensive Internet solution
of retail.com. The Company intends to continue to devote substantial
resources to the development of new and innovative Internet-based
products for business-to-business retail solutions and to continue to
incorporate emerging Internet technologies. In addition, by implementing
and actively promoting new industry standards, the Company intends to
facilitate widespread adoption of its solutions by retailers.
PRODUCTS

integrated, but independently deployable, components, which are accessed via an
Internet browser and can be hosted by an individual organization or applications
service provider.

applications providing comprehensive operational management tools. This suite of
software solutions provides the foundation of operational support and process
execution across the retail enterprise, with the scalability needed to support
the mission-critical operations of many of the world's large retailers. The
Internet-based design of these solutions helps reduce the cost of supporting
store employees, while improving customer service. In addition, the Company's
Transaction Solution is designed to ensure the integrity of the data used by the
Company's decision support and predictive solutions.

SERVICES
The Company provides its customers with consulting and technical support or
maintenance services.
- Consulting services consist primarily of technical and implementation
services and customization of the Company's products for a customer's
specific needs. These services are customarily billed at a fixed daily
rate plus out-of-pocket expenses. The Company has vendor-specific
objective evidence of fair values for these consulting services and
recognizes revenue as these services are performed.
- Technical support or maintenance services consist primarily of customer
support services after implementation of the Company's solutions. Revenue
from technical support or maintenance services is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the contract period.
The Company also provides strategic technical advisory services after the
delivery of its products. By providing project management level support to the
Company's customers in their dealings with third party integrators, these
strategic technical advisory services are designed to help the Company's
customers exploit the full value and functionality of the Company's products.
Under licenses where these strategic technical advisory services are provided,
license fee and services revenues are recognized as these services are performed
over the contract period.
The Company's services range from technical and implementation support to
business benefit realization consulting, which assists retailers in utilizing
the Company's software solutions to optimize their potential benefits. The
Company offers high-quality, timely, technical support to customers via phone,
e-mail and the Internet. Additionally, the Company publishes online versions of
manuals, release notes and updates to existing documentation. The Company
provides a number of training programs in the United
7
<PAGE> 9
States. Courses cover topics such as technical architecture, business use of the
merchandizing functionality and development standards and methodology.
CUSTOMERS
The Company markets its software solutions primarily to retailers who sell
to their customers via traditional retail stores, catalogs and/or Internet store
fronts. Historically, the Company has focused on organizations with gross sales
in excess of $500 million a year. The Company markets across all formats of
retailing, including fashion, department stores, catalog and consumer direct,
specialty retailers, mass merchandise retailers and food, drug and convenience
stores. The Company expects the recent launch of its retail.com network to
extend its target market, allowing small and mid-sized retailers and suppliers
of all sizes to take advantage of its solutions. During fiscal year 1999, the
Company had one customer who accounted for 13.6% and another who accounted for
10.8% of total revenues.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
No material portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation
of profits or termination of contract or subcontracts at the election of the
government.
TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS
The Company seeks to develop innovative software solutions by combining its
retail industry and application knowledge and its strategy of partnering with
technology market leaders. Although the Company makes extensive use of a broad
range of technologies, it takes advantage of two key technologies:
Internet Architecture. The Oracle toolset provides the Company with
an Internet-based, scalable foundation for its software solutions. By
leveraging the Company's applications framework into a unified
architecture, the Company is able to focus on creating additional business
functionality in its solutions, rather than building and maintaining
complex infrastructure code. As a global alliance partner of Oracle, the
Company's core development team works very closely with the Oracle
technology group to take advantage of the latest features of the 8i
database, the developer toolset, and the advances being driven by the
Oracle mobile computing group. In addition, the Company's use of Sun
Microsystems' Java programming language allows it to deliver software that
is portable and efficient, as well as easy to internationalize and
reconfigure.
Predictive Algorithms. The Company's team of research scientists has
expanded and tailored HNC's predictive technologies to fit the retail
world. These technologies are able to analyze vast amounts of retail data,
recognize and model complicated and sometimes subtle patterns, and apply
these models to predicting and understanding the retail environment. The
predictive algorithms the Company relies on include:
- Hybrid Forecasting Models. The solution to many retail problems
relies on good forecasting. Forecasting enhances such functions as
store and warehouse replenishment, promotional planning, supplier
collaboration, markdown reduction, merchandise and assortment planning
and labor scheduling. The Company's hybrid forecasting models were
designed specifically for retail problems, and use hybrids of standard
techniques, as well as internally developed methods. The models use
hierarchical time series techniques, filtering techniques, regression-
based causal forecasting, and exception management to provide a
platform that may be applied to all of the previous functions.
- Context Vectors. Context vectors can automatically categorize
unstructured information, providing insight from a previously
inaccessible data source. This allows the Company's solutions to
extract different dimensions from a retailer's data, allowing
actionable information to be unlocked in the key areas of store
profiling, single-customer transaction analysis and customer
segmentation.
8
<PAGE> 10
- Simulation. Simulations are used to model systems that are too
complex for basic mathematical algorithms. The Company uses simulation
to optimize store and warehouse replenishment. Unlike textbook
generalizations and assumptions, the modeling provided by the
Company's solutions simulates the entire replenishment process,
enabling the Company to optimize the variables that affect the
replenishment process.
In addition, the Company licenses the ACUMATE component software from
Lucent to serve as a foundation for Retek Demand Forecasting and the DSS Web
software from MicroStrategy to serve as a user-interface for Retek Data
Warehouse. In each case, the Company selected this third party software because
it has properties that are particularly appropriate to the function of the
specific solution into which it has been integrated by the Company.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
The Company has worked with Oracle to establish Oracle Retail(TM), which
provides a single source of technology products, implementation services and
support to target the world's largest retailers. Oracle Retail(TM) combines the
Company's solutions with Oracle's financial applications to provide customers
with a scalable Internet-based solution for the retail industry worldwide.
The Company has developed strategic relationships with various system
integrators that assist the Company with sales lead generation by recommending
that their clients purchase the Company's software solutions. Additionally,
these system integrators provide a range of services to the Company's customers,
including project implementation services and first-line technical support. The
Company has certified and trained system integrators for the implementation and
operation of the Company's solutions at Andersen Consulting, Deloitte & Touche,
IBM, and KPMG.
In addition to providing implementation and support services for the
Company's software solutions, Andersen Consulting has dedicated full-time
consultants to help the Company in research and development and custom
modifications. This allows the Company to rapidly expand its research and
development efforts without incurring the costs associated with hiring
additional staff internally.
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company markets and sells its software solutions worldwide through a
combination of a direct sales force, resellers and distributors. The Company's
worldwide direct sales, marketing and business development organizations
consisted of 102 individuals as of December 31, 1999.
The Company's sales, marketing and distribution approaches are designed to
help customers understand both the business and technical benefits of the
Company's software solutions. The Company conducts a variety of marketing
programs worldwide to educate its target market, create awareness and generate
leads for its solutions. To achieve these goals, the Company has engaged in
marketing activities including e-business seminars, direct mailings, print and
online advertising campaigns and trade shows. These programs are targeted at key
information technology executives and business users, as well as chief
information officers and other senior executives.
Markets outside the United States are currently served by the Company's
direct sales offices in the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Australia,
Japan and South Africa. In addition, the Company has established distribution
relationships with Itochu Techno-Science Corporation and KPMG, which distribute
the Company's software solutions in Japan and Australia, respectively.
There was no material backlog of orders as of December 31, 1999.
Financial information concerning the Company for each of the three fiscal
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, including the amount of total
revenue contributed by classes of similar products or services that accounted
for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenue in any one of those
periods and information with respect to the Company's operations by geographic
area, is set forth in the
9
<PAGE> 11
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Item 14 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning on page 30.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development group has been a critical component
of the Company's overall success. The Company believes that it has built a
reputation for delivering on its solution commitments in a timely manner. As of
December 31, 1999, the research and development group was comprised of 228
individuals in Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Minneapolis. In addition, the Company
has developed close alliances with a number of consulting companies to provide
additional staffing. These relationships allow the Company to increase its
development capacity as quickly as necessary to address new market and product
demand.
The majority of the Company's research and development group is organized
around product offering teams. Each of these teams is responsible for the
product management processes, strategy and release path, delivery, and support
of its respective applications. In addition to these product offering teams, a
centralized enterprise team within research and development is responsible for
maintaining consistency across the products teams with respect to quality
assurance and testing processes, documentation, application architecture, and
methodology.
The success of the research and development group is based on a consistent
and well-defined development methodology. This methodology enables the delivery
of high-quality products in a timely and predictable manner. It involves the
traditional checkpoints of development processes such as business requirements,
functional and technical specifications, unit, string and integration test
plans, and regression analysis. In addition, the Company uses a highly
interactive review process to engage future users of the product in the product
release cycle through iterative prototypes to ensure the application design goal
is met.
In addition to predictable delivery cycles, speed to market is critical to
the Company's success. The Company believes that it has effectively used build,
buy, and partner strategies over the past several years to expand the Company's
solution offerings. The key in using each of these strategies is the consistency
in the underlying technologies and an overall application architecture that
allows modular design and development.
Research and development expenses were $9.5 million in 1997, $12.9 million
in 1998 and $22.6 million in 1999. The Company believes that significant
investments in research and development are required to remain competitive. As a
consequence, the Company intends to continue to increase the absolute amount of
its research and development expenses.
COMPETITION
The market for business-to-business software solutions is new, intensely
competitive and rapidly evolving. The Company expects competition to continue to
increase both from existing competitors and new market entrants. The Company
encounters current competition from a number of different sources, including
such providers of supply chain software products as i2 Technologies, SAP,
Manhattan Associates and JDA Software Group. As the Company develops its global
business-to-business electronic commerce network, it expects to face potential
competition from business-to-business electronic commerce companies, including
Ariba and Commerce One. The Company believes that its ability to compete depends
on many factors both within and beyond its control, including:
- the ease of use, performance, features, price and reliability of its
solutions as compared to those of its competitors;
- the timing and market acceptance of new solutions and enhancements to
existing solutions developed by the Company and its competitors;
10
<PAGE> 12
- the quality of the Company's customer service; and
- the effectiveness of the Company's sales and marketing efforts.
The Company believes that it currently competes favorably with respect to
these factors. In particular, the Company believes that its products are better
than those of its competitors in their ease of use, performance, features and
reliability. In addition, the Company has in the past introduced new solutions
and enhancements to its existing solutions in a timelier manner than its
competitors. The Company's prices are generally higher than its competitors
reflecting, the Company believes, the added value of its software solutions.
Because the market for business-to-business software solutions is new, intensely
competitive and rapidly evolving, the Company cannot be assured that it will
maintain its competitive position against current and potential competitors,
especially those with greater name recognition and greater financial, marketing
and other resources.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSING
The Company's success and ability to compete are dependent in part on its
ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of its technology. The
Company relies on a combination of trademark, trade secret, and copyright law
and contractual restrictions to protect the proprietary aspects of its
technology. The Company seeks to protect its source code for its software,
documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws.
The Company licenses its software under signed license agreements, which impose
restrictions on the licensee's ability to utilize the software. Finally, the
Company seeks to avoid disclosure of its intellectual property by requiring
employees and consultants with access to its proprietary information to execute
confidentiality agreements with the Company and by restricting access to its
source code.
The Company relies on technology that it licenses from third parties,
including software that is integrated with internally developed software and
used in its line of products to perform key functions. For example, the Company
licenses the ACUMATE component software from Lucent and the DSS Web software
from MicroStrategy. Each of these licenses is non-exclusive, worldwide and
royalty-based. Each license has a term of one year and renews automatically
unless notice of termination is given by either party. The royalties the Company
paid Lucent and MicroStrategy under these licenses were, in each case, less than
5% of the Company's total revenue in each of the 1999 and 1998 fiscal years. In
addition, the Company has entered into a technology license agreement with HNC,
giving it a license to specified HNC predictive technology. This license is
non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, perpetual and royalty-free. If the
Company is unable to continue to license any of this software, it will face
delays in releases of its software until equivalent technology can be
identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into its current product.
These delays, if they occur, could seriously harm the Company's business.
There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software and
Internet industries regarding intellectual property rights. It is possible that
in the future third parties may claim that the Company or its current or
potential future software solutions infringe on their intellectual property. The
Company expects that software product developers and providers of electronic
commerce products will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the
number of products and competitors in the Company's industry segment grows and
the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any
claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause product shipment delays or require the Company to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required,
may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, which could
seriously harm its business.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is in compliance with federal, state and local provisions which
have been enacted or adopted relating to the protection of the environment.
Compliance with these provisions does not have any material effect upon the
capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of specified factors, including those set
forth in the section below entitled "Factors That May Impact Future Results of
Operations" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
The Company completed its initial public offering on November 23, 1999.
Prior to the completion of its initial public offering, the Company was a wholly
owned subsidiary of HNC Software Inc., a business-to-business software company
that develops and markets predictive software solutions. As of December 31,
1999, HNC owned approximately 86.0% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
HNC has informed the Company that it is HNC's current intention to distribute
pro rata to its stockholders, as a dividend, all of the shares of the Company's
common stock that HNC owns, subject to the satisfaction and fulfillment of
several conditions, including the receipt of a written ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service that the distribution qualifies for tax-free treatment under
Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. However,
15
<PAGE> 17
HNC has the sole discretion to determine whether it will carry out the
distribution, and if the distribution is carried out, the timing, structure and
terms of the distribution.
The Company's business combines the business activities of Retek
Information Systems, Inc. and Retek Inc., formerly Retek Logistics, Inc. Founded
in 1995, Retek Information Systems, a developer and marketer of Internet-based,
business-to-business software solutions for retailers, was acquired by HNC in
1996. Neil Thall Associates, Inc., a developer of predictive software solutions
for retailers and a wholly owned subsidiary of HNC since 1991, was merged into
Retek Information Systems in April 1997. Financial results of Neil Thall
Associates are included in all periods presented. Founded in 1985 as Practical
Control Solutions, Inc. Retek Logistics, a developer of warehouse management
software solutions, was acquired by HNC in 1998. On September 9, 1999, Retek
Logistics was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation and renamed "Retek Inc."
Immediately prior to the completion of the Company's initial public offering on
November 23, 1999, in connection with the separation of the Company's business
from HNC, HNC contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of Retek
Information Systems to Retek Inc. Retek Information Systems currently operates
as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The acquisition of Retek Information Systems by HNC allowed for the
integration of HNC's patented predictive technology into the Company's software
solutions for retailers. The Company formalized a marketing relationship with
Oracle in September 1998, providing it with an effective partnership with a
world leader in electronic commerce, an international channel to the largest
retailers and the support of Oracle's worldwide sales force.
The Company's total revenue has grown from $30.9 million in 1997 to $55.0
million in 1998 to $69.2 million in 1999. The Company has generated revenue from
the sale of software licenses, maintenance and support contracts, and
professional consulting and contract development services. Until the fourth
quarter of 1999, the Company generally licensed its products to customers on a
perpetual basis and recognized revenue upon delivery of the products. Starting
in the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company revised the terms of its software
licensing agreements for the majority of its software products sold. Under the
revised terms, the Company will provide technical advisory services after the
delivery of its products to help its customers exploit the full value and
functionality of the Company's products. Revenue from the sale of software
licenses under these agreements will be recognized as the technical advisory
services are performed. The Company expects that these periods of technical
advisory services will generally be from 12 to 24 months, as determined by the
Company's customers' objectives. As the Company begins to recognize license and
service revenues over a period of time, rather than upon the delivery of its
products, the Company will recognize significantly less revenue, have lower
associated margins for several quarters, as compared to previous quarters, have
higher operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues and incur operating
losses for several quarters. Deferred revenue consists principally of the
unrecognized portion of revenue received under maintenance service agreements.
This revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the service agreement.
Customers who license the Company's software generally purchase maintenance
contracts, typically covering renewable annual periods. In addition, customers
may purchase consulting services, which are customarily billed at a fixed daily
rate plus out-of-pocket expenses. Contract development services, including new
product development services, are typically performed for a fixed fee. The
Company also offers training services that are billed on a per student or per
class session basis.
The Company's revenue growth has resulted from a combination of increased
market penetration and an expanding product offering. The Company's investments
in research and development, acquisitions and alliances have helped bring new
software solutions to market. The Company's investments produced a suite of
decision support solutions in 1997; the retooling of its applications for the
web in 1998; and the delivery of Internet-based, business-to-business
collaborative planning, critical path and product design solutions in 1999. To
support its growth during these periods, the Company also continued to invest in
internal infrastructure by hiring employees throughout various departments of
the organization.
The Company markets its software solutions worldwide through direct and
indirect sales channels. Revenue generated from the Company's direct sales
channel accounted for approximately 76%, 86% and
16
<PAGE> 18
100% of its total revenue in 1999, 1998 and 1997. The Company's indirect sales
channel is driven mainly by its relationship with Oracle.
On October 29, 1999, the Company completed the purchase of all the
outstanding capital stock of WebTrak Limited. WebTrak owns the WebTrack Critical
Path and Portfolio Private Label products that the Company currently
distributes. In connection with the purchase of WebTrak, the Company issued to
the former WebTrak shareholders notes, which were due on November 26, 1999, in
the principal amount of $5.33 million and a convertible note, which was due on
November 26, 1999, in the principal amount of $2.67 million. The convertible
note was at the option of the holder of the note convertible at the time of
payment into the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the
principal amount of the note divided by the initial offering price of $15.00. On
November 29, 1999 the Company issued 177,778 shares of its common stock to the
holder of the convertible note in full satisfaction of the Company's
obligations. The remaining notes were satisfied in full on their due date.
Revenue attributable to customers outside of North America accounted for
approximately 37%, 33% and 40% of the Company's total revenue in 1999, 1998 and
1997. Approximately 14% and 22% of the Company's sales were denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company primarily sells perpetual licenses for which it recognizes
revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, upon
meeting each of the following criteria:
- execution of a written purchase order, license agreement or contract;
- delivery of software authorization keys;
- the license fee is fixed and determinable;
- collectibility of the proceeds is assessed as being probable; and
- vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee to
elements of the arrangement.
Vendor-specific objective evidence is based on the price charged when an
element is sold separately, or if not yet sold separately, is established by
authorized management. All elements of each order are valued at the time of
revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue:
- for sales made through the Company's distributors, resellers and original
equipment manufacturers, at the time these partners report to the Company
that they have sold the software to the end-user and after all revenue
recognition criteria have been met;
- from maintenance agreements related to the Company's software, over the
respective maintenance periods;
- from customer modifications, as the services are performed using the
percentage of completion method; and
- from services, using the percentage of completion method, based on costs
incurred to date compared to total estimated costs at completion.
The Company records amounts received under contracts in advance of
performance as deferred revenue and recognizes these amounts within one year
from receipt.

Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
Revenue
Total revenue. Total revenue increased 25.7% to $69.2 million in 1999 and
78.0% to $55.0 million in 1998 from $30.9 million in 1997.
License and maintenance revenue. License and maintenance revenue increased
7.5% to $46.0 million in 1999 and 48.0% to $42.8 million in 1998 from $28.9
million in 1997. The increase in 1999 license revenue was primarily due to the
addition of new customers and an increase in the average dollar sale per
customer. As noted above in the section entitled "Overview", the Company
recently revised the terms of its software license agreements so that revenue is
recognized over a number of quarters rather than upon delivery. Due to the
revised terms of the software license agreements, year over year revenue growth
increased at a slower rate in 1999 compared to 1998. Maintenance revenue
increased $3.7 million in 1999
18
<PAGE> 20
due to a growing base of customers that have installed our software solutions.
The increase in license and maintenance revenue in 1998 was primarily due to the
addition of new customers as well as the introduction of new software solutions.
Services and other revenue. Services and other revenue increased 88.9% to
$23.2 million in 1999 and 505.5% to $12.3 million in 1998 from $2.0 million in
1997. The increase in 1999 was due to a $6.6 million increase in consulting
services and custom development projects. The remaining increase was due to an
increase in the number of billable employees from 69 in 1998 to 89 in 1999.
Services and other revenue balances fluctuate based on the Company's use of
third party consultants. Third party consultants are used on an as needed basis
depending upon the Company's allocation of available internal resources. The
increase in 1998 was due to a $10.2 million increase in consulting services and
custom development projects. These increases were a result of our expanding
customer base.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of license and maintenance revenue. Cost of license and maintenance
revenue consists primarily of fees for third party software products that are
integrated into the Company's products; salaries and related expenses of the
Company's customer support organization; and an allocation of the Company's
facilities and depreciation expense. Cost of license and maintenance revenue
increased 46.2% to $6.4 million in 1999 and 58.3% to $4.3 million in 1998 from
$2.7 million in 1997. The absolute dollar increases are attributable to
increases in license and maintenance revenue. As license and maintenance revenue
has increased, the Company has experienced increased costs resulting from
increased royalty fees and an increase in the number of support personnel
required to service its growing customer base. The Company expects the cost of
license and maintenance revenue to continue to increase in absolute dollars as
license and maintenance revenue increases.
Cost of services and other revenue. Cost of services and other revenue
includes salaries and related expenses of the Company's consulting organization;
cost of third parties contracted to provide consulting services to the Company's
customers; and an allocation of the Company's facilities and depreciation
expense. Cost of services and other revenue increased 74.9% to $16.6 million in
1999 and increased 958.2% to $9.5 million in 1998 from $898,000 in 1997. As a
percentage of services and other revenue, cost of services and other revenue was
71.7% in 1999, 77.4% in 1998, and 44.3% in 1997. During 1999 the Company
continued to expand its consulting services business by increasing the number of
personnel from 69 to 89. The increase in cost of services and other revenue as a
percentage of services and other revenue in 1998 was primarily attributable to
an increase in consulting contracts for which the Company utilized a significant
amount of contract labor, which in turn caused a decrease in services and other
revenue gross margins. During 1997, the Company started to build its consulting
services business and as a result began to incur recruiting, training and
management support expenses.
Operating Expenses
Research and development. Research and development expenses, which are
expensed as incurred, consist primarily of salaries and related costs of the
Company's engineering organization; fees paid to third-party consultants; and an
allocation of the Company's facilities and depreciation expenses. The Company
has increased its investment in research and development in absolute dollars
each year since 1995. Research and development expenses increased 75.0% to $22.6
million in 1999 and 36.2% to $12.9 million in 1998 from $9.5 million in 1997.
The absolute dollar increases in research and development expenses in 1999 and
1998 were due to significant increases in labor costs, which included hired
personnel and third party consultants. In 1999, research and development
personnel increased from 97 to 228. The Company also invested heavily in the
development of new retail.com solutions during the fourth quarter of 1999. The
Company expects the absolute dollar increase in research and development to
continue as the Company invests in the development of other new solutions.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries and related costs of the Company's sales and marketing organization;
sales commissions; costs of the Company's marketing
19
<PAGE> 21
programs, including public relations, advertising, trade shows, collateral sales
materials, and its customer user reference group program; rent and facilities
costs associated with the Company's regional and international sales offices;
and an allocation of the Company's facilities and depreciation expenses. Sales
and marketing expenses increased 39.4% to $19.6 million in 1999 and 70.4% to
$14.1 million in 1998 from $8.3 million in 1997. The increase in 1999 was due to
increases of $3.5 million in personnel and related costs, $0.9 million in
marketing expense and $1.1 million in travel expenses. In 1999 personnel and
related costs increased due to an increase in the number of sales and marketing
employees from 58 to 102. The increases in personnel and related costs were due
to the Company's build up of its sales force and marketing operations for the
new product offering of retail.com during the fourth quarter of 1999. The
increase in sales and marketing expenses in 1998 was due to an expansion of the
Company's sales and marketing organization, including a $3.6 million increase in
personnel and related costs, a $910,000 increase in travel expense and a
$203,000 increase in the costs of marketing programs.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of costs from the Company's finance and human resources organizations;
third party legal and other professional services fees; and an allocation of the
Company's facilities costs and depreciation expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased 59.6% to $6.3 million in 1999 and 34.6% to $3.9 million in
1998 from $2.9 million in 1997. The increases in absolute dollars in general and
administrative expenses in 1999 and 1998 were attributable to growth of the
Company's administrative organization in support of the Company's overall
growth. The increase in 1999 was also due to the Company incurring additional
expenses required to become an independent public company. In 1999 total general
and administrative employees increased from 29 to 42. The Company expects
general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the
foreseeable future to support infrastructure growth.
Amortization of stock-based compensation. Deferred stock-based
compensation represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair
value of the Company's common stock for accounting purposes on the date that
certain stock options were granted. This amount is included as a component of
stockholders' equity and is being amortized on an accelerated basis by charges
to operations over the vesting period of the options, consistent with the method
described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. The
Company granted stock options to its employees under the 1999 Equity Incentive
Plan and to members of its board of directors through both the 1999 Equity
Incentive Plan and the 1999 Directors Stock Option Plan. Through December 1999,
the Company granted stock options to its employees to purchase 7,257,250 shares
and to members of its board of directors to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. Amortization of
stock-based compensation was $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999.
Acquired in-process research and development. In connection with the
acquisition of WebTrak in October 1999, acquired in-process research and
development of $1.5 million was charged to results of operations on the
acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition of Retek Logistics in March
1998, acquired in-process research and development of $1.8 million was charged
to results of operations on the acquisition date. Certain products of Retek
Logistics and WebTrak were complete in certain areas and under development in
others. The classification of the technology as complete or under development
was made in accordance with the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 and
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 4.
For both the Retek Logistics and WebTrak acquisitions the Company used an
independent appraisal firm to assist in the valuation of the fair market value
of the purchased assets. Fair market value is defined as the estimated amount at
which an asset might be expected to be exchanged between a willing buyer and
willing seller assuming the buyer continues to use the assets in its current
operations. The Company provided assumptions by product line of revenue, cost of
goods sold and operating expense to the appraiser to assist in the valuation.
In connection with the acquisition of WebTrak, the Company estimated that
the acquired in-process research and development related to retail.com design
was 58% complete as of the acquisition date. This
20
<PAGE> 22
estimate was based upon research and development efforts incurred to date as
compared to total estimated development efforts. As of the date of the
acquisition, the estimated cost to complete the retail.com design to a point of
technological feasibility was approximately $174,000, which the Company expected
to incur over a period of approximately two months following the acquisition.
The Company utilized the income valuation approach to determine the
estimated fair value of the acquired in-process research and development. This
estimate is based on the following assumptions:
- The estimated revenues are based upon projected average annual revenue
from future products expected to be derived once technological
feasibility is achieved during the period from 2000 through 2002.
- Expenses were applied at levels commensurate with the entire Retail.com
product line on a percentage of revenue basis.
- The discount rate utilized in the valuation was 26.4%.
Acquisition-related amortization of intangibles. In connection with the
purchase of WebTrak, the application of the purchase method for the acquisition
resulted in an excess of cost over net assets acquired of $8.1 million, of which
$6.6 million was allocated to intangibles and $1.5 million was allocated to
in-process research and development. In conjunction with the purchase, the
Company recorded various intangible assets, which are being amortized over
estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. In connection with the
purchase of Retek Logistics, the application of the purchase method for the
acquisition resulted in an excess of cost over net assets acquired of
approximately $5.8 million, of which $4.0 million was allocated to intangibles
and $1.8 million was allocated to in-process research and development. In
conjunction with the purchase, the Company recorded various intangible assets,
which are being amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five
years. In connection with the acquisition of Retek Logistics, HNC has a
contingent obligation to issue additional shares of HNC common stock upon the
achievement of certain financial objectives during 1999. This consideration will
not be reflected in the Company's financial position in the future.
Other income, net. Other income, net increased to $30,000 in 1999 and
decreased to $11,000 in 1998 from $24,000 in 1997. The increase in 1999 was due
to interest income of $469,000, which was partially offset by $310,000 of
interest expense related to the factoring of receivable balances.
Income tax (benefit) provision. The 1999 income tax benefit of ($1.7)
million includes the impact of non-deductible expense for the amortization of
certain portions of the stock-based compensation. The 1998 income tax provision
of $4.2 million includes the tax effects of the non-deductible, one-time
write-off of acquired in-process research and development related to the
purchase of Retek Logistics. Other items affecting the tax provision primarily
relate to the anticipated future realization of research and development tax
credits generated during the year. The 1997 income tax provision of $3.2 million
includes the effect of the anticipated future realization of research and
development tax credits generated during the year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior to its initial public offering, the Company funded its operations
primarily through funding from HNC in the form of intercompany advances. Since
the initial public offering, the Company has not obtained further funding from
HNC. At December 31, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balance was
$83.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $152,000 in 1999, $885,000 in
1998 and $3.8 million in 1997. Sources of cash for 1999, which offset the
Company's net loss and increase in certain assets, were depreciation and
amortization, increases to the provision for doubtful accounts, amortization of
stock-based compensation and acquired in-process research and development,
increases in accounts payable and increases in deferred revenue. Sources of cash
for 1997 and 1998 resulted primarily from net income
21
<PAGE> 23
generated in those periods. Uses of cash in 1999, 1998 and 1997 due to increases
in accounts receivable balances were partially offset by increases in the
provision for doubtful accounts. The increases in the bad debt provisions in
1999 and 1998 were primarily attributed to increased accounts receivable levels
due to higher sales volume and reserving for specific customers. During 1999,
the Company increased its provision for doubtful accounts by $1.2 million for a
customer that was unwilling to pay amounts due. During 1998, the Company
increased the provision for doubtful accounts by $450,000 for a customer that
declared bankruptcy and $250,000 for a customer that had financial difficulties
due to political unrest in its primary country of operation.
Net cash used in investing activities was $10.8 million in 1999, $2.4
million in 1998 and $3.1 million in 1997. In 1999, uses of cash were due to the
acquisition of capital equipment and cash paid for the WebTrak acquisition,
which was offset by cash purchased in the acquisition. The uses of cash in 1998
and 1997 were attributable to the acquisition of capital assets, primarily
computer equipment and leasehold improvements, which was offset in 1998 by cash
provided from the Retek Logistics acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $94.4 million in 1999. Net
cash used by financing activities was $547,000 in 1998. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $294,000 in 1997. Net cash provided by financing
activities in 1999 included $56.9 million in borrowings from HNC and $47.4
million in payments to HNC and net cash proceeds of $84.9 million from the
issuance of common stock. Net cash used by financing activities in 1998 included
$41.7 million in borrowings from HNC and $42.3 million in payments to HNC. Net
cash provided by financing activities in 1997 included $5.5 million in
borrowings from HNC and $5.2 million in payments to HNC. Beginning in December
1997, HNC implemented a cash management policy that all cash balances were
transferred daily from all of HNC's subsidiaries, including the Company, into a
centralized cash management account at HNC. The financing activities with HNC
include the borrowings and payments from these cash management activities in
1999, 1998 and 1997. Starting in November 1999, these daily transfers to HNC
ceased.
The Company believes that the net proceeds of its initial public offering,
together with its current cash and cash equivalents and net cash provided by
operating activities, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Management intends to
invest the Company's cash in excess of current operating requirements in
short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
A portion of the Company's cash could also be used to acquire or invest in
complementary businesses or products or otherwise to obtain the right to use
complementary technologies or data. The Company regularly evaluates, in the
ordinary course of business, potential acquisitions of such businesses,
products, technologies or data.
In addition, the Company's ability to enter into any acquisition of a
business or assets may be limited if HNC completes the distribution.
Specifically, pursuant to the terms of a corporate rights agreement between HNC
and the Company, until two years, and possibly longer, after the distribution of
HNC's remaining shares of the Company's common stock, the Company's ability to
issue common stock in connection with acquisitions, offerings or otherwise will
be limited.
FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
An investment in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk.
Investors evaluating the Company and its business should carefully consider the
factors described below and all other information contained in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K before purchasing the Company's common stock. Any of the
following factors could materially harm the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition. Additional factors and uncertainties not
currently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers
immaterial could also harm the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. Investors could lose all or part of their investment as a
result of these factors.
22
<PAGE> 24
While the Company's management is optimistic about the Company's long-term
prospects, the following factors, among others, could materially harm the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition and should be
considered in evaluating the Company.
Industry's rapid pace of change. If the Company is unable to develop new
software solutions or enhancements to its existing products on a timely and
cost-effective basis, or if new products or enhancements do not achieve market
acceptance, the Company's sales may decline. The life cycles of the Company's
products are difficult to predict because the business-to-business electronic
commerce market for its products is new and emerging and is characterized by
rapid technological change and changing customer needs. The introduction of
products employing new technologies could render the Company's existing products
or services obsolete and unmarketable.
In developing new products and services, the Company may:
- fail to respond to technological changes in a timely or cost-effective
manner;
- encounter products, capabilities or technologies developed by others that
render its products and services obsolete or noncompetitive or that
shorten the life cycles of its existing products and services;
- experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful
development, introduction and marketing of these new products and
services; or
- fail to achieve market acceptance of its products and services.
Fluctuations in quarterly operating results. The Company's quarterly
operating results have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to
fluctuate in the future. If the Company's quarterly operating results fail to
meet analysts' expectations, the trading price of its common stock could
decline. In addition, significant fluctuations in the Company's quarterly
operating results may harm its business operations by making it difficult to
implement its budget and business plan. The factors, many of which are outside
the Company's control, which could cause the Company's operating results to
fluctuate include:
- the size and timing of customer orders, which can be affected by customer
budgeting and purchasing cycles;
- the demand for and market acceptance of the Company's software solutions;
- competitors' announcements or introductions of new software solutions,
services or technological innovations;
- the Company's ability to develop, introduce and market new products on a
timely basis;
- customer deferral of material orders in anticipation of new releases or
new product introductions;
- the Company's success in expanding its sales and marketing programs;
- increased sales of Oracle Retail(TM) in the Company's second fiscal
quarter due to seasonally greater sales by Oracle near its fiscal
year-end in May;
- technological changes or problems in computer systems; and
- general economic conditions which may affect the Company's customers'
capital investment levels.
In addition, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur,
compensation expense in connection with its grant of options under its 1999
Equity Incentive Plan. This expense will be amortized over the vesting period of
these granted options, which is generally four years, resulting in lower
quarterly income.
The Company's quarterly expense levels are relatively fixed and are based,
in part, on expectations as to future revenue. As a result, if revenue levels
fall below the Company's expectations, its net income will decrease because only
a small portion of the Company's expenses vary with its revenue.
23
<PAGE> 25
New type of license agreement. Until recently, the Company generally
licensed its products to customers on a perpetual basis, and recognized revenue
upon delivery of the products. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company
entered into software licensing agreements with revised terms for the majority
of new sales of its software products. Under these agreements, the Company will
provide technical advisory services after the delivery of its products to help
customers exploit the full value and functionality of its products. Revenue from
the sale of software licenses and technical advisory services under these
agreements will be recognized as the services are performed over the contract
period, which the Company expects will generally be 12 to 24 months, as
determined by its customers' objectives. As the Company begins to recognize
license and service revenues over a period of time, rather than upon the
delivery of its products, the Company will recognize significantly less revenue,
have lower associated margins for several quarters, as compared to previous
quarters, have higher operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues and
will incur operating losses for several quarters.
Early stage of development of the retail.com network. The Company began
operation of its retail.com network on September 26, 1999. The Company incurred,
and will continue to incur, significant infrastructure costs in establishing
this network. Through December 1999 the Company invested approximately $1.8
million in retail.com. The Company will continue to invest in new products and
services to be offered over the retail.com network in the foreseeable future.
Broad and timely acceptance of the retail.com network is subject to a number of
significant risks. These risks include:
- the Company's need to provide value-enhancing software solutions and
services on its retail.com network to achieve widespread commercial
acceptance of this network;
- whether the Company's network will be able to support large numbers of
retailers and the members of their supply chains; and
- the Company's need to significantly expand its internal resources and
incur associated expenses to support planned growth of its retail.com
network.
The Company has established a subscription pricing model for the WebTrack
Critical Path software solutions provided on its retail.com network, whereby
members pay an annual fee based on the number of the member's employees who will
have access to the network. In addition pricing models have been established for
retail.com Private Label Exchange, retail.com Assort, retail.com Intelligence
Center and retail.com Design. As additional services are added to the retail.com
network, the Company will need to establish pricing models for these new
services. If the pricing models for the retail.com network fail to be
competitive and profitable or if they are not acceptable to customers, the
Company's network will not be commercially successful, which could harm the
Company's revenue and business.
Increased operating expenses. The Company intends to significantly
increase its operating expenses as it:
- increases its research and development activities;
- increases its services activities;
- develops and builds its retail.com network;
- expands its distribution channels;
- increases its sales and marketing activities, including expanding its
direct sales force;
- builds its internal information technology system; and
- operates as an independent public company.
The Company will incur expenses before it generates any revenue from this
increase in spending. If the Company does not significantly increase revenue
from these efforts, its business and operating results could be seriously
harmed.
24
<PAGE> 26
Competitive pressures. The market for the Company's software solutions is
highly competitive and subject to rapidly changing technology. Competition could
seriously impede the Company's ability to sell additional products and services
on terms favorable to it. Competitive pressures could reduce the Company's
market share or require it to reduce its prices, which would reduce its revenues
and/or operating margins. Many of the Company's competitors have substantially
greater financial, marketing or other resources, and greater name recognition
than the Company. In addition, these companies may adopt aggressive pricing
policies that could compel the Company to reduce the prices of its products and
services in response. The Company's competitors may also be able to respond more
quickly than it can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements. The Company's current and potential competitors may:
- develop and market new technologies that render the Company's existing or
future products obsolete, unmarketable or less competitive;
- make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among
themselves or with other solution providers, which would increase the
ability of their products to address the needs of the Company's
customers; and
- establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with the Company's
current or future strategic partners, which would limit the Company's
ability to sell products through these channels.
As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain a competitive position
against current or future competitors.
Loss of key personnel. The Company believes that its future success will
depend upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel,
including John Buchanan, its chairman and chief executive officer; Gordon
Masson, its president, core applications; John L. Goedert, its senior vice
president, research and development; Gregory A. Effertz, its vice president,
finance and administration and chief financial officer and Jeremy Thomas, its
president, retail.com. The Company currently does not have any key-man life
insurance relating to key personnel, who are employees at-will and are not
subject to employment contracts except for Jeremy Thomas who has a two year
employment contract. The loss of the services of any one or more of these key
persons could harm the Company's ability to grow its business.
The Company also must attract, integrate and retain skilled sales, research
and development, marketing and management personnel. Competition for these types
of employees is intense, particularly in the Company's industry. Failure to hire
and retain qualified personnel would harm the Company's ability to grow its
business.
Relationships with third parties who implement the Company's products. The
Company relies, and expects to continue to rely, on a number of third parties to
implement its software solutions at customer sites. If the Company is unable to
establish and maintain effective, long-term relationships with these
implementation providers, or if these providers do not meet the needs or
expectations of the Company's customers, the Company's revenue will be reduced
and its customer relationships will be harmed. The Company's current
implementation partners are not contractually required to continue to help
implement the Company's software solutions. If the number of the Company's
product implementations continues to increase, the Company will need to develop
new relationships with additional third-party implementation providers to
provide these services.
The Company may be unable to establish or maintain relationships with third
parties having sufficient qualified personnel resources to provide the necessary
implementation services to support its needs. If third-party services are
unavailable, the Company will be required to provide these services internally,
which would significantly limit its ability to meet its customers'
implementation needs and would increase the Company's operating expenses and
could reduce its gross margins. A number of the Company's competitors, including
IBM and SAP, have significantly more established relationships with these third
parties and, as a result, these third parties may be more likely to recommend
competitors' products and services rather than the Company's own. In addition,
the Company cannot control the level and quality of service provided by its
current and future implementation partners.
25
<PAGE> 27
Intellectual property of third parties. The Company must now, and may in
the future have to, license or otherwise obtain access to the intellectual
property of third parties and related parties, including HNC, Lucent,
MicroStrategy and Oracle. The Company's business would be seriously harmed if
the providers from whom it licenses such software cease to deliver and support
reliable products or enhance their current products. In addition, the
third-party software may not continue to be available to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms or prices or at all. The Company's inability to
maintain or obtain this software could result in shipment delays or reduced
sales of its products. Furthermore, the Company might be forced to limit the
features available in its current or future product offerings. Either
alternative could seriously harm the Company's business and operating results.
Confidentiality of intellectual property. The Company depends on its
ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of its technology. To
protect its proprietary technology, the Company relies primarily on a
combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, trade
secrets, and copyright and trademark laws.
The Company seeks to protect its software, documentation and other written
materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited
protection. In addition, the Company cannot assure investors that any of its
proprietary rights with respect to its retail.com network will be viable or of
value in the future because the validity, enforceability and type of protection
of proprietary rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still
evolving.
Despite the Company's efforts to protect its proprietary rights,
unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or to obtain
and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Policing
unauthorized use of the Company's products is difficult and expensive, and while
the Company is unable to determine the extent to which piracy of its software
products exists, software piracy may be a problem. In addition, the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same
extent, as do the laws of the United States. The Company intends to vigorously
protect its intellectual property rights through litigation and other means.
However, such litigation can be costly to prosecute and the Company cannot be
certain that it will be able to enforce its rights or prevent other parties from
developing similar technology, duplicating its products or designing around its
intellectual property.
Potential third party claims that the Company's products infringe on their
intellectual property. There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the
software industry and the Internet industry regarding intellectual property
rights. It is possible that in the future third parties may claim that the
Company or its current or potential future products infringe their intellectual
property. The Company expects that software product developers and providers of
electronic commerce solutions will increasingly be subject to infringement
claims as the number of products and competitors in the Company's industry
segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments
overlaps. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in
costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require the Company to enter
into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if
required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all,
which could seriously harm its business.
International sales. Since the Company sells its products worldwide, its
business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. To
the extent that the Company's sales are denominated in foreign currencies, the
revenue it receives could be subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
If the effective price of the products the Company sells to its customers were
to increase due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, demand for
its technology could fall, which would, in turn, reduce its revenue. The Company
has not historically attempted to mitigate the effect that currency fluctuations
may have on its revenue through use of hedging instruments, and it does not
currently intend to do so in the future.
26
<PAGE> 28
The Company anticipates that revenue from international operations will
continue to represent a substantial portion of its total revenue. Accordingly,
the Company's future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
- changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
- greater risk of uncollectible accounts;
- changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic
conditions, particularly in emerging markets;
- trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
- potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws;
- difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
- international variations in technology standards;
- differing levels of protection of intellectual property; and
- unexpected changes in regulatory requirements.
Acceptance of the Internet. As the Company's software solutions are
Internet-based, it depends on the acceptance of the Internet as a communications
protocol. However, this acceptance may not continue. Rapid growth of the
Internet is a recent phenomenon. The Internet may not be accepted as a viable
long-term communications protocol for businesses for a number of reasons. These
reasons include:
- potentially inadequate development of the necessary communications and
computer network technology, particularly if rapid growth of the Internet
continues;
- delayed development of enabling technologies and performance
improvements;
- increased security risks in transmitting and storing confidential
information over public networks; and
- potentially increased governmental regulation.
Errors and defects in the Company's products. The Company's products are
complex and, accordingly, may contain undetected errors or failures when the
Company first introduces them or as it releases new versions. This may result in
loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of its products and could cause it to
incur significant costs to correct errors or failures or to pay damages suffered
by customers as a result of such errors or failures. In the past, the Company
has discovered software errors in its new releases and new products after their
introduction. The Company has incurred costs during the period required to
correct these errors, although to date such costs, including costs incurred on
specific contracts, have not been material. The Company may in the future
discover errors in new releases or new products after the commencement of
commercial shipments.
Changes in accounting standards. Statement of Position 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition," was issued in October 1997 by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and amended by Statement of Position 98-4. The
Company adopted Statement of Position 97-2 effective January 1, 1998 and
Statement of Position 98-4 effective March 31, 1998.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has also issued
Statement of Position 98-9, which is effective for the Company for transactions
entered into beginning January 1, 2000. Full implementation guidelines for this
standard and additional standards could be issued in the future. These
guidelines and additional standards could lead to unanticipated changes in the
Company's current revenue recognition policies, which changes could harm its
business, financial condition and operating results.
Year 2000 Compliance. The risks posed by Year 2000 issues, which arise
because computer systems and software products may be unable to distinguish 21st
century dates from 20th century dates, could harm the Company's business. Prior
to the end of 1999 the Company completed a review of the Year
27
<PAGE> 29
2000 compliance of its internally developed proprietary software and its
third-party supplied software, computer technology and other services. The
Company's review included testing to determine how these systems would function
at and beyond the Year 2000. To date, the Company has not experienced any
material Year 2000 related problems with its internally developed software or
its third party supplied software and computer systems. The Company is not aware
of any failure by its third-party suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant that could
impact its business or operations. However, there is an ongoing risk that such
problems or failures could arise or become apparent in the future. Any such
problems or failures experienced by the Company or its customers could have
negative consequences for the Company, including decreasing the demand for its
products and interrupting the effective operation of its retail.com web site. As
a result, the Company's supply chain and revenue could be harmed.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), which is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. This statement establishes a new
model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. Under FAS 133, all
derivatives must be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair
value. In July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 137
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which defers the effective date to
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption
of FAS 133 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 98-9 ("SOP 98-9"), "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions." This SOP
retains the limitations of SOP 97-2 on what constitutes vendor-specific
objective evidence of fair value. SOP 98-9 will be effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999. The adoption of SOP
98-9 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 7A: QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discusses the Company's exposure to market risk related to
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The fair value of the Company's investments available for sale at December
31, 1999 was $83.7 million. The objectives of the Company's investment policy
are safety and preservation of invested funds and liquidity of investments that
is sufficient to meet cash flow requirements. The Company's policy is to place
its cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale with high credit
quality financial institutions and commercial companies and government agencies
in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. It is also the Company's policy
to maintain certain concentration limits and to invest only in certain
"allowable securities" as determined by the Company's management. The Company's
investment policy also provides that its investment portfolio must not have an
average portfolio maturity of beyond one year. Investments are prohibited in
certain industries and speculative activities. Investments must be denominated
in U.S. dollars. An increase in market interest rates would not directly affect
the Company's financial results as it has no short- or long-term debt.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The Company develops products in the United States and sells in North
America, Asia and Europe. As a result, its financial results could be affected
by various factors, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak
economic conditions in foreign markets. The Company's foreign currency risks are
mitigated principally by contracting primarily in US dollars and maintaining
only nominal foreign currency
28
<PAGE> 30
cash balances. Working funds necessary to facilitate the short-term operations
of the Company's subsidiaries are kept in local currencies in which they do
business, with excess funds transferred to the Company's offices in the United
States. Approximately 14% and 22% of the Company's total sales were denominated
in currencies other than the US dollar in 1999 and 1998, respectively.
EQUITY PRICE RISK
The Company does not own any equity investments. Therefore, it is not
currently exposed to any direct equity price risk.
IMPACT OF EUROPEAN MONETARY CONVERSION
The Company is aware of the issues associated with the changes in Europe
resulting from the formation of a European economic and monetary union, or EMU.
One change resulting from this union required EMU member states to irrevocably
fix their respective currencies to a new currency, the euro, as of January 1,
1999, at which date the euro became a functional legal currency of these
countries. Through December 31, 2002, business in the EMU member states will be
conducted in both the existing national currencies, such as the French franc or
the Deutsche mark, and the euro. As a result, companies operating or conducting
business in EMU member states will need to ensure that their financial and other
software systems are capable of processing transactions and properly handling
these currencies, including the euro. The Company is still assessing the impact
that conversion to the euro will have on its internal systems, the sale of its
solutions and the European and global economies. The Company will take
appropriate corrective actions based on the results of its assessment. The
Company has not yet determined the cost related to addressing this issue
although it does not expect these costs to be significant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
RETEK INC.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) on page 30, present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Retek Inc. and its subsidiaries at December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, in
our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing
under Item 14(a)(2) on page 30 presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Retek Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Retek Information Systems,
Inc. and WebTrak Limited (the "Company") develop Internet based
business-to-business commerce networks, warehouse management software solutions,
and market and support management decision software products for retailers and
their trading partners. The Internet based business-to-business commerce
networks provide retailers a single point of access for all members of the
retail supply chain. Additional solutions offered through the retail.com portal
provide a collaborative approach to traditional retail challenges. These
solutions are designed to increase efficiencies by sharing data among retailers
and their trading partners, effectively shortening their supply chains. The
predictive software solutions employ proprietary neural-network predictive
decision engines, profiles, traditional statistical modeling, business models,
expert rules and context vectors to convert existing data and business
experiences into meaningful recommendations and actions. The Company is
headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
On November 23, 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering.
Prior to completing its initial public offering, the Company was a wholly owned
subsidiary of HNC Software Inc. ("HNC"), a business-to-business software company
that develops and markets predictive software solutions. As of December 31,
1999, HNC owned approximately 86.0% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
Retek Inc. was originally incorporated in Ohio in 1985 as Practical Control
Solutions, Inc. ("PCS"), which was renamed Retek Logistics, Inc. in April 1999.
In September 1999, Retek Logistics, Inc. was reincorporated as a Delaware
corporation and renamed Retek Inc. In connection with the reincorporation, each
share of Retek Logistics, Inc.'s common stock was converted to shares of Retek
Inc.'s common stock. Immediately prior to the completion of the Company's
initial public offering, HNC contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of
Retek Information Systems Inc. to Retek Inc. As a result of the contribution,
Retek Information Systems, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Retek Inc.
HNC has informed the Company that it is HNC's current intention to
distribute pro rata to its stockholders, as a dividend, all of the shares of the
Company's common stock that HNC owns, subject to the satisfaction and
fulfillment of several conditions, including the receipt of a written ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service that the distribution qualifies for tax-free
treatment under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, HNC has the
sole discretion to determine whether it will carry out the distribution, and if
the distribution is carried out, the timing, structure and terms of the
distribution.
Retek Logistics, Inc. was acquired by HNC in March 1998 in a transaction
that was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting by HNC. Retek
Information Systems, Inc. was acquired by HNC in November 1996 in a transaction
that was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting by
HNC. In April 1997, Neil Thall Associates, Inc. ("NTA"), formerly a wholly owned
subsidiary of HNC, which was formed in 1991, was merged with the business of
Retek Information Systems, Inc. Retek Inc. acquired WebTrak Limited in October
1999 in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Basis of Presentation
Following HNC's November 1999 contribution of Retek Information Systems,
Inc. capital stock to Retek Inc., the consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Retek Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Retek Information
Systems, Inc and WebTrak Limited. The accounts of Retek Information Systems,
Inc. include its wholly owned subsidiaries.

RETEK INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Prior to the 1999 legal restructuring, the financial statements reflect the
combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Retek Inc.
and Retek Information Systems, Inc. The combined financial statements include
the accounts of Retek Inc. for the periods after its acquisition by HNC in March
1998 and the accounts of Retek Information Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries for all periods presented. The financial statements have been
prepared using HNC's historical basis in the assets and liabilities and
historical results of operations of each of the entities, which comprise the
Company's business.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in all periods presented.
The stockholders' equity accounts in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements reflect the balances of Retek Information Systems, Inc. for
the period prior to HNC's acquisition of Retek Logistics, Inc. in March 1998.
Subsequent to March 1998, the stockholders' equity accounts reflect the balances
of Retek Logistics, Inc. and Retek Inc., which reflects the reincorporation in
September 1999.
General corporate overhead related to HNC's corporate headquarters and
common support divisions have been allocated to the Company based on the
proportion of the Company's revenues and headcount to HNC's consolidated
revenues and headcount. Management believes these allocations reasonably
approximate the costs incurred by HNC on behalf of the Company's operations and
the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had performed these
functions as a stand-alone entity.
The Company's financing activities are represented by cash transactions
with HNC and are reflected in the payable to HNC Software Inc. Activity in the
payable to HNC Software Inc. primarily relates to cash activity with HNC as well
as cost allocations and other intercompany charges to the Company from HNC.
Financial Statement Preparation
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments and consist of investments
in money market accounts and commercial paper purchased with maturities of three
months or less.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company recognizes
depreciation and amortization expense using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets of three to seven years. The Company
amortizes leasehold improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful
lives or the remaining term of the related lease. Repair and maintenance costs
are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense of
property and equipment was $2,299, $1,268 and $569 for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Capitalized Software
Development costs for software to be licensed or sold that are incurred
from the time technological feasibility is established until the product is
available for general release to customers are capitalized and
37

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Through December 31,
1999, no significant amounts were expended subsequent to reaching technological
feasibility.
Intangible Assets
Retek Logistics, Inc. was acquired by HNC in March 1998 in exchange for 143
shares of HNC common stock, 14 of which are subject to an escrow to secure
certain indemnification obligations of the former stockholders plus the
contingent right, subject to the achievement of certain financial objectives
during calendar 1999 and 1998, to receive certain additional shares of HNC
common stock. In April 1999, HNC issued an additional 45 shares of HNC common
stock for the achievement of these financial objectives during calendar 1998,
which was recorded as an addition to goodwill of $1,476 in the consolidated
financial statements in 1998. However, any shares granted in the future will not
be reflected in the financial position or results of operations of the Company
if HNC's share of ownership of the Company at the time of such issuance is less
than 95%. The application of the purchase method of accounting for the
acquisition resulted in an excess of cost over net assets acquired of
approximately $5,781, of which $4,031 has been allocated to intangible assets
and $1,750 has been allocated to in-process research and development (see note
5).
In October 1999, the Company acquired WebTrak Limited ("WebTrak") for a
cash payment of $5,333 and a $2,667 convertible note, which was subsequently
converted into 177,778 shares of the Company's common stock. The application of
the purchase method of accounting for the acquisition resulted in an excess of
cost over net assets acquired of approximately $8,131, of which $6,651 has been
allocated to intangible assets and $1,480 has been allocated to in-process
research and development (see note 5).
In conjunction with these purchases, the Company recorded various
intangible assets. Intangible assets are comprised of purchased software and
other rights that are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value.
Intangible assets are amortized as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ESTIMATED
USEFUL LIFE AMORTIZATION METHOD
------------- -------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Purchased software costs............................ Straight-line 36 to 42 months
Assembled work force................................ Straight-line 3 years
Customer base....................................... Straight-line 3 to 5 years
Noncompetition agreements........................... Straight-line 5 years
Trademarks.......................................... Straight-line 5 years
Goodwill............................................ Straight-line 5 years
</TABLE>
Amortization expense of intangible assets was $2,206, $1,152 and $809 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
When events or changes in circumstances warrant, the Company investigates
potential impairments of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and
associated goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized if the sum of the
expected future net cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset.
No such impairments of long-lived assets existed through December 31, 1999.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes software license revenue upon meeting each of the
following criteria: execution of a license agreement or contract; delivery of
software; the license fee is fixed and determinable; collectibility of the
proceeds is assessed as being probable; and vendor specific objective evidence
exists to
38
<PAGE> 40
RETEK INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
allocate the total fee to elements of the arrangement. Vendor-specific objective
evidence is based on the price charged when an element is sold separately, or if
not yet sold separately, is established by authorized management. Starting in
the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company revised the terms of the software
licensing agreements for the majority of the software products sold. Under these
terms, the Company will provide technical advisory services after the delivery
of its products to help its customers exploit the full value and functionality
of the Company's products. Revenue from the sale of software licenses under
these agreements is recognized over the period that the technical advisory
services are performed. For sales made through distributors, resellers and
original equipment manufacturers, the Company recognizes revenue at the time
these partners report to the Company that they have sold the software to the end
user and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Service revenue
includes maintenance revenue, which is deferred and recognized ratably over the
maintenance period, and revenue from consulting and training services, which is
recognized as services are performed. Consulting services are customarily billed
at a fixed daily rate plus out-of-pocket expenses.
The Company's revenue from contract development services is generally
recognized as the services are performed using the percentage of completion
method based on costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs at
completion. Amounts received under contracts in advance of performance are
recorded as deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year from
receipt. Contract losses are recorded as a charge to income in the period such
losses are first identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at
estimated realizable value.
Deferred revenue consists primarily of deferred maintenance revenue.
Income Taxes
The taxable income or loss of the Company is included in the consolidated
tax return of HNC. Income taxes are computed on a stand-alone basis under the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." In accordance with HNC's policy, the current tax receivable or payable
is included in the amount due to or due from HNC. A deferred income tax asset or
liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as the
expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount "more likely than not" to be realized in
future tax returns. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period
such changes are enacted.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company's international
operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for
assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenues
and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are excluded from the
consolidated results of operations and are recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's
local currency) are included in the consolidated statement of income and are not
material.
Diversification of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable, which
are generally not collateralized. The Company's policy is to place its cash and
cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions in order to
limit the amount of its credit exposure. The Company's software license and
installation agreements and commercial
39
<PAGE> 41
RETEK INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
development contracts are primarily with large customers in the retail
industries. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses.
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term
maturities of these financial instruments.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports in the consolidated financial statements, in addition
to net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and its components including
foreign currency items. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as "the change in
equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources." It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133 ("FAS 133"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. This statement
establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities.
Under FAS 133, all derivatives must be recognized as assets and liabilities and
measured at fair value. In July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" which
defers the effective date to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The adoption of FAS 133 is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In January 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 98-9 ("SOP 98-9"), "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions." This SOP
retains the limitations of SOP 97-2 on what constitutes vendor-specific
objective evidence of fair value. SOP 98-9 will be effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999. The adoption of SOP
98-9 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
Net Loss Per Share and Unaudited Pro Forma Net Income Per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated based only on the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
is computed on the basis of the weighted average basic shares outstanding plus
the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock"
method. For periods prior to the Company's initial public offering, the weighted
average basic shares outstanding is a pro forma amount which reflects the
September 1999 reincorporation of Retek Inc. and the 40 for .001 stock split of
Retek Inc. common shares.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the calculation of diluted loss per
share excludes 5,771 potential common shares of the Company's common stock
attributed to outstanding stock options because their effect would be
antidilutive.
Pro forma unaudited income per common share for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 is calculated for basic income per share only since the
Company had no outstanding stock options during those periods.

NOTE 7 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retek Inc. Sponsored Plans
During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Incentive Plan"), the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"),
the 1999 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan") and the Employee
Stock Option Exchange Program (the "Exchange Program").
The Incentive Plan provides for the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors to award up to 9,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the form
of nonqualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock or stock bonuses. Nonqualified stock options may be awarded at
a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of
the award. Incentive stock options must be awarded at a price not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award or 110% of fair
market value of the stock at the date of the awards to more than 10%
stockholders. Options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive
Plan may have a term of up to 10 years. The Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors has the discretion to award
45
<PAGE> 47
RETEK INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
restricted stock and stock bonuses, as they deem appropriate. Options vest over
four years at the rate of 25% of the total grant after one year and then at a
rate of 2.08% of the total grant per month over the remaining 36 months.
However, the Company may, at its discretion, implement a different vesting
schedule with respect to any new stock option grant. At December 31, 1999, no
options were exercisable.
The Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 700 shares of
common stock. Each purchase period, eligible employees may designate between 2%
and 15% of their cash compensation, subject to certain limitations, to be
deducted from their pay for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase
Plan. The purchase price of the shares under the Purchase Plan is equal to 85%
of the lesser of the fair market value per share, as defined by the Purchase
Plan, on the first day of the two-year offering period and the date of purchase.
Employee contributions to the plan were $396 during the year ended December 31,
1999. No shares were issued to employees during the year ended December 31,
1999.
The Directors Plan provides for the issuance of up to 400 nonqualified
stock options to the Company's outside directors. Under the provisions of the
Directors Plan, options to purchase 25 shares of the Company's common stock will
be granted to outside directors upon their becoming a member of the Board of
Directors and 7.5 additional options will be granted on each anniversary of the
initial grant, so long as they remain on the Board of Directors. Options under
the Directors Plan will be granted at the fair value of the stock at the grant
date and vest entirely at the end of a period of one year from the date of
grant. At December 31, 1999, no shares were exercisable.
In 1999, the Company granted stock options to its employees and directors,
under the Equity Incentive Plan and the Directors Plan, to purchase
approximately 7,362 shares of the Company's common stock. Of the approximately
7,262 options granted to employees, 6,239 were granted in connection with the
exchange of HNC stock options by the Company's employees. These options were
granted at an exercise price of $10 per share. The difference between the option
price and market value at the date of the grant has been recorded as additional
paid-in capital with an offsetting debit within stockholders equity to deferred
stock-based compensation. Due to the terms of the vesting, compensation will be
accelerated in the early years and resulted in a compensation charge of $1,908
as of December 31, 1999.
Transactions relating to employees and directors of the Company under the
Company's Incentive Plan and Directors Plan during the year ended December 31,
1999 is summarized as follows:

HNC Software Inc. Sponsored Plans
During 1995, HNC adopted the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (the "HNC Incentive
Plan") and the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "HNC Purchase Plan"). For
purposes of the discussion contained in the two paragraphs below, "fair market
value" means the closing price of HNC's common stock on the NASDAQ National
Market on the grant date.
The HNC Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,250 shares
after 1999 amendments of HNC's common stock in the form of nonqualified or
incentive stock options, restricted stock or stock bonuses to employees of HNC
and its affiliates including Retek Inc. and Retek Information Systems, Inc.
Nonqualified stock options and restricted stock may be awarded at a price not
less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award.
Incentive stock options must be awarded at a price not less than 100% of the
fair market value of the stock at the date of the award. Options granted under
the Incentive Plan may have a term of up to ten years. HNC has the discretion to
provide for restrictions and the lapse thereof in respect of restricted stock
awards. Options typically vest at the rate of 25% of the total grant per year
over a four-year period; however, HNC may, at its discretion, implement a
different vesting schedule with respect to any new stock option grant. At
December 31, 1999 employees of the Company held 124 options that were
exercisable.
The HNC Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 650 shares
after 1999 amendments of common stock to employees of HNC and its affiliates,
including the Company. In each purchase period eligible employees may designate
that between 2% and 10% of their cash compensation, subject to certain
limitations, be deducted from their compensation for the purchase of common
stock under the Purchase Plan. The purchase price of the shares under the
Purchase Plan is equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value per share
on the first date of the twelve-month offering period or the last day of each
six-month purchase period.
During 1998, HNC adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 Plan"). The 1998
Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,000 shares of HNC's common stock in
the form of nonqualified stock options to employees, officers, consultants and
independent advisors of HNC and its affiliates including the Company. Options
granted under the 1998 Plan may have a term of up to ten years. Options
typically vest at the rate of 25% of the total grant per year over a four-year
period; however, HNC may, at its discretion, implement a different vesting
schedule with respect to any new stock option grant. At December 31, 1999, there
were 13 shares exercisable under the 1998 Plan. During 1999 the Company's
employees were given the opportunity to exchange their HNC options granted
through the HNC Incentive Plan and the 1998 Plan for a grant of the Company's
stock options through the Company's Incentive Plan. During 1999 the
47

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Company's employees exchanged 1,136 HNC stock options for the right to receive
the Company's stock options.
All Retek Information Systems, Inc. options, outstanding on the date of the
acquisition in 1996, were converted into options to purchase HNC's common stock
and adjusted to give effect to the acquisition exchange ratio. Retek Information
Systems, Inc. stock options are administered by HNC's Board of Directors. No
changes were made to the terms of the Retek Information Systems, Inc. options in
connection with the exchange. Those options granted vest ratably over periods
from one to four years and have a term of up to ten years. At December 31, 1999
employees of the Company held five options that were exercisable.
Transactions relating to employees of the Company under HNC's stock option
plan during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are summarized as

Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock-based compensation awards and HNC stock-based
compensation awards issued to the Company's employees during 1999, 1998 and 1997
been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates of awards consistent
with the method of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 ("FAS

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively: dividend yield of 0.0% for all three years; risk-free
interest rates of 5.47%, 5.14% and 6.10%; expected volatilities of 100%, 65% and
65%; and expected lives of 2.0, 3.0 and 3.0 years. The fair value of the
employees' purchase rights pursuant to the Purchase Plan is estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
48

respectively: dividend yield of 0.0% for all three years; risk-free interest
rates of 4.98%, 5.23% and 5.32%; expected volatilities of 100%, 65% and 65%; and
an expected life of six months for all three years. The weighted average fair
value of those purchase rights granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997 for HNC stock was
$ 10.77, $16.32 and $14.23, respectively. The weighted average fair value of
those purchase rights granted in 1999 for the Company's stock was $7.62.
NOTE 8 -- PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 5,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.
The specific terms of any preferred stock will be determined by the Company's
board of directors prior to issuance.
NOTE 9 -- CONTINGENCIES
Various claims arising in the course of business, seeking monetary damages
and other relief are pending. The amount of the liability, if any, from such
claims cannot be determined with certainty; however, in the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability for such claims will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
NOTE 10 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As described in Note 1, the combined financial statements include
significant transactions with HNC for services such as treasury, cash
management, employee benefits, taxes, financial reporting, legal, corporate
marketing and general corporate services. HNC charged the Company $1,232, $953
and $348 for such expenses during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997,
respectively. These charges were principally included in sales and marketing
expenses and general and administrative expenses. Management believes these
allocations approximate the costs that would have been incurred had the Company
performed these functions as a stand-alone entity.
Beginning in 1998, the Company utilized research and development services
of HNC. HNC charged the Company $135 and $1,383 for such expenses for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Certain of the Company's employees participate in the HNC Purchase Plan.
Amounts included in the payable to HNC Software Inc. related to the Purchase
Plan were $887, $526 and $181 as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Employees of the Company also participate in an HNC-sponsored 401(k) plan.
The Company matched employee contributions up to the lesser of 50% of the
employee contribution or eight hundred dollars. Contributions were $293, $120
and $60 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The amount payable to HNC Software Inc. includes allocations of expenses
for all corporate services, income taxes and other intercompany transactions,
plus cash advances net of repayments. The amount payable does not bear interest.
The average monthly balances due to HNC for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 were, $10,243, $6,728 and $5,370, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Retek Logistics, Inc. (formerly Practical Control Systems Technologies,
Inc.), an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), is a supplier of fully integrated
distribution center management software products that address the distribution
needs of the retail, wholesale and manufacturing industries.
In March 1998, the Company's stockholders approved an agreement between the
Company and HNC Software Inc. ("HNC") pursuant to which the Company's
stockholders exchanged all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company
for HNC stock.
On March 31, 1998 the Company's stockholders received 143 shares of HNC
common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
On June 1, 1996, the Company terminated its S Corporation status and
recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The Company's current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes
expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or
liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as the
expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount "more likely than not" to be realized in
future tax returns. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period
such changes are enacted.
Revenue Recognition
On certain systems development contracts, the percentage of completion
method is used to recognize the revenues. The Company measures a contract's
progress based on actual costs incurred to date compared to total estimated
contract costs. A contract is considered complete once formal acceptance from a
customer has been obtained. Because the percentage of completion method requires
estimates of costs to complete contracts, it is possible that estimated costs to
complete contracts will be revised in the near term. Revenues from software
maintenance agreements are deferred and are recognized over the maintenance
period. Software licensing revenues are recognized when delivery of the software
occurs if the Company does not have to provide additional significant service
under the contract. All other revenues are recognized when the services are
performed.
Included in accounts receivable are unbilled accounts receivable, which
represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. From time to time,
depending upon billing terms, cash may be received in advance of the performance
of services or providing systems. When this occurs, these amounts are recorded
as unearned revenue.

RETEK LOGISTICS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers its investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess funds in
reverse repurchase agreements for U.S. government securities. At December 31,
1997, the Company had purchased $455 of U.S. government securities under
agreements to resell. Generally, the maturity date of the Company's reverse
repurchase agreements is the next day of business. Due to the short-term nature
of the agreements, the Company does not take possession of the securities, which
are instead held at the Company's principal bank from which it purchases the
securities. The carrying value of the agreements approximates fair market value
because of the short maturity of the investments and the Company believes that
it is not exposed to any significant risk on its investments in reverse
repurchase agreements.
Software Development Costs
Costs incurred internally in creating computer software products are
charged to expense until technological feasibility of the software has been
established. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized.
Capitalization of computer software costs is discontinued when the product is
available for sale to customers. The costs capitalized include the direct labor
costs of those involved with the software development effort, their supervision
and indirect costs of overhead relating to those employees, the facilities they
occupy and equipment they utilize.
The ultimate realization of these costs requires considerable judgment from
management related to the estimated useful life and anticipated future sales.
Computer software costs are amortized by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the products developed, which is five years.
Amortization expense related to software development costs was $69 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, $265 for the year ended December 31, 1997, and $64
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited).
Graphic Design Costs
Costs associated with the production of graphic design applications include
computer programs to assist in the sale of the Company's product. These costs
have been capitalized and are being amortized by the straight-line method over
the asset's estimated useful life of three years. Amortization of graphic design
costs was $50 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, $199 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and $50 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company computes
depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets of three to seven years. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements
over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the
related lease. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation expense was $35 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, $169 for
the year ended December 31, 1997, and $41 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 (unaudited).
Long-Lived Assets
The Company investigates potential impairments of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and associated goodwill when events or changes
in circumstances have made recovery of an asset's carrying value unlikely. An
impairment loss would be recognized if the sum of the expected future net cash
flows
57
<PAGE> 59
RETEK LOGISTICS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
were less than the carrying amount of the asset. No such impairments of
long-lived assets existed through March 31, 1998.
Diversification of Credit Risk
The Company had approximately 29% of its sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, 42% of its sales for the year ended December 31, 1997, and 49%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited) to international customers
in South America, Africa, and Asia. The same five customers comprised 91% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31 1998, 81% of revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and 87% of the revenues for the three months ended March
31, 1997 (unaudited).
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term
maturities of these financial instruments.
Comprehensive Income
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS
130"). FAS 130 requires the Company to report in the financial statements, in
addition to net income, comprehensive income and its components including
foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in
debt and equity securities. Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in
equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources." It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners.
Interim Results (unaudited)
The accompanying statement of operations and the related statements of cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of results of the
interim periods. The data disclosed in these notes to financial statements for
this period is also unaudited.

EXHIBIT 2.2
SEPARATION AGREEMENT
This SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), is made and entered into
effective as of November 23, 1999 (the "Effective Date") by and among HNC
Software Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HNC"), Retek Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Retek") and Retek Information Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("RIS").
RECITALS
A. As of the Effective Date, Retek is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC,
and RIS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC.
B. HNC's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of HNC and its stockholders to separate the businesses of Retek and
RIS from HNC's other operations. In furtherance of that objective, HNC has also
determined that it is appropriate and desirable for HNC to contribute and
transfer to Retek all of the capital stock of RIS which HNC owns (so that RIS
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Retek) together with certain other
assets as provided herein and to cause Retek to assume certain liabilities, in
accordance with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined herein)
(such contribution and transfer of assets by HNC and such assumption of
liabilities by Retek and RIS in accordance with this Agreement are collectively
hereinafter referred to as the "Separation").
C. The Board of Directors of HNC and Retek have determined that it is
appropriate and desirable, on the terms and conditions contemplated by this
Agreement, that Retek issue and sell shares of its Common Stock (as defined
herein) in an initial public offering registered under the Securities Act (the
"Initial Public Offering"), provided that (i) immediately prior to the first
closing of the sale of shares of Retek's Common Stock in such Initial Public
Offering, HNC owns forty million (40,000,000) shares of the outstanding common
stock of Retek, all of which shares have been duly and validly issued, are
outstanding and are fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the total number of
shares of Retek's capital stock issued and sold in the Initial Public Offering
does not exceed Six Million Three Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (6,325,000)
shares of Retek's Common Stock following the final closing of the Initial Public
Offering.
D. HNC's current intention is that, after the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, HNC may in its sole discretion elect to distribute pro rata to
HNC's stockholders, as a dividend, the remaining shares of Common Stock of Retek
which it holds after the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the
"Distribution").
E. It is appropriate and desirable to set forth in this Agreement the
agreements of the parties regarding the Separation and the transactions required
to effect the Separation and the Initial Public Offering, and the relationship
of HNC, Retek and RIS following the Separation.

that any transfer of assets or assignment or assumption of Liabilities
contemplated by this Article II has not been consummated effective as of the
Closing Date, (i) the parties retaining such assets shall thereafter hold such
assets in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the
expense of the party entitled thereto); and (ii) the party retaining such
Liabilities shall thereafter hold such Liabilities for the account of the party
assuming such Liability or to whom such Liability is to be assigned pursuant
hereto, and in each such case shall take such other actions as may be reasonably
required in order to place the parties, insofar as reasonably possible, in the
same position as would have existed had such asset been transferred, or such
Liability been assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby. As and when any such
asset or Liability become transferable, assignable or assumable, as the case may
be, such transfer, assignment or assumption, as the case may be, shall be
effected forthwith. HNC and Retek agree that, as of the Closing Date, each party
hereto shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership
over all of the assets, together with all of the rights, powers and privileges
incidental thereto, that such party is entitled to acquire pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.
2.4 CLOSING MATTERS. The closing of the Separation under this Agreement
will take place at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, Two Palo Alto Square, Palo
Alto, California, at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, concurrent with the consummation
and closing of the Initial Public Offering or at such other time and place as
HNC, Retek and RIS shall mutually agree upon in a writing signed by each of
them. The "Closing" and the date on which the Closing occurs is referred to
herein as the "Closing Date"), provided, however, that HNC's obligation to
consummate the Separation and to effect the Closing shall be subject to the

Section 3.3. At the Closing, to the extent that they have not already done so,
the parties will take each of the following actions:
(a) HNC shall execute and deliver to Retek (or to RIS, in the case of
deliverables relevant to RIS) such bills of sale, stock powers, assignments of
contracts and other instruments or transfer, conveyance and assignment as and to
the extent necessary to evidence the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all
of HNC's or its subsidiaries' (other than Retek or RIS) right, title and
interest in and to Retek Assets to Retek or RIS, as the case may be;
(b) HNC shall execute and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to
Retek and RIS, as applicable;
<PAGE> 9
(c) Retek shall execute and deliver to HNC (and, with regard to any
liabilities assumed for RIS, to RIS) such bills of sale, assumptions of
contracts and other instruments or assumption as may be necessary to evidence
the valid and effective assumption of Retek Liabilities by Retek and RIS;
(d) Retek shall execute and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to
HNC and RIS, as applicable;
(e) RIS shall execute and deliver to HNC and RIS such bills of sale,

the amount payable by it under the provisions of Section 2.6 to settle all then
outstanding intercompany accounts in accordance with Section 2.6.
2.5 NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES; CONSENTS.
(a) Asset Status. Each of the parties hereto understands and agrees
that no party hereto is, in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Agreement or in any
other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary
Agreement or otherwise, making any representation or warranty whatsoever to any
other party as to the value, quality or condition of any assets of such party,
and all such representations and warranties are hereby disclaimed and negated.
The parties also agree and understand that there are no warranties whatsoever,
whether express or implied, given by any party to this Agreement, as to the
condition, quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of any
of the assets, businesses or other rights transferred or retained by the
parties, as the case may be, and all such assets, businesses and other rights
shall be "as is, where is" and "with all faults" (provided that the absence of
warranties given by the parties shall not negate the assumption of Liabilities
under this Agreement and shall have no effect on any manufacturers, sellers, or
other third party warranties that are intended to be transferred with such
assets).
(b) Consents. Each party hereto understands and agrees that no party
hereto is, in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Agreement or in any other
agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or
otherwise, representing or warranting in any way that the obtaining of any
Consents, the execution and delivery of any amendatory agreements and the taking
of any filings or applications contemplated by this Agreement will satisfy the
provisions of any or all applicable laws or judgments or other instruments or
agreements relating to such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
shall use their reasonable good faith efforts to obtain all Consents (including
without limitation such Consents as may be required by any Governmental
Authorities), and to take all such further actions as shall be deemed reasonably
necessary to preserve for each of HNC, Retek and RIS, to the greatest extent
reasonably feasible (where the determination of feasibility shall take into
account the expense
<PAGE> 10
and time associated with preserving such benefits as compared to the value of
such benefits) to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. If at any
time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of
each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary or desirable action,
provided that any financial cost shall be borne by the party receiving the
benefit of the action.
2.6 SETTLEMENT AND OFFSET OF INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS.
(a) Current Intercompany Accounts. The parties agree that, as of the
Effective Date: (i) the Retek Intercompany Payables consist entirely of those
payables designated as Retek Intercompany Payables in Part A of Schedule 2.6 in
the respective amounts set forth therein, and (ii) the Retek Intercompany
Receivables consist entirely of those accounts receivable designated as Retek
Intercompany Receivables in Part B of Schedule 2.6 in the respective amounts set
forth therein.
(b) Closing Update Certificates. At the Closing, Retek (on behalf of
itself and the Retek Group) and HNC (on behalf of itself and the HNC Group)
shall each deliver to the other a certificate (the "Intercompany Accounts
Certificate"), executed by its respective Chief Financial Officer, which shall
set forth in reasonable detail (and be accompanied by appropriate supporting
documentation): (i) a list of all Retek Intercompany Payables and Retek
Intercompany Receivables arising or accrued on and after the Effective Date and
(ii) a list of all payments of Retek Intercompany Receivables made after the
Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Closing Offset and Settlement Payment. At the Closing, Retek (on
behalf of itself, RIS and the Retek Group) and HNC (on behalf of itself and the
HNC Group), shall set-off, settle and pay all then outstanding Retek
Intercompany Payables and Retek Intercompany Receivables, as follows. The
parties shall examine Schedule 2.6, the HNC Intercompany Accounts Certificate
and the Retek Intercompany Accounts Certificate, and shall determine from such
documents: (i) the amount of Retek Intercompany Payables as of the Closing Date;
(ii) the amount of Retek Intercompany Receivables as of the Closing Date; (iii)
the amount, if any, by which the Retek Intercompany Payables as of the Closing
Date exceeds the Retek Intercompany Receivables as of the Closing Date (such
excess amount if any, being referred to as the "Net Retek Closing Payable"); and
(iv) the amount, if any, by which the total Retek Intercompany Receivables as of
the Closing Date exceed the Retek Intercompany Payables as of the Closing Date
(such excess amount, if any, being referred to as the "Net Retek Closing
Receivable"). If there is a Net Retek Closing Payable, then at the Closing Retek
shall pay to HNC an amount equal to the Net Retek Closing Payable. If there is a
Net Retek Closing Receivable, then at the Closing HNC shall pay to Retek an
amount equal to the Net Retek Closing Receivable. If there is no Net Retek
Closing Payable and no Net Retek Closing Receivable, then no payment shall be
made by HNC or Retek under this Section at the Closing. Any dispute between HNC
and Retek regarding the amount of Retek Intercompany Payables and/or Retek
Intercompany Receivables shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

ARTICLE III
THE SEPARATION AND THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
3.1 COOPERATION PRIOR TO THE SEPARATION. In addition to the matters set
forth in Section 3.2 concerning preparations for the Initial Public Offering and
in Article V (concerning preparations, if undertaken, for the Distribution), and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.3, from and after the date of
this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, HNC, Retek and RIS shall cooperate with each
other and use their diligent good faith efforts to prepare for the Separation,
including doing each of the following:
(a) Conduct Affairs in Ordinary Course. Except as set forth in this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, Retek and RIS shall each continue to
conduct its affairs in the ordinary course of its business consistent with past
practices and shall operate its business for the sole benefit of HNC, its sole
stockholder; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Retek shall be
entitled to exercise its option to purchase certain assets and/or stock of
Webtrak Limited pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Option
Agreement dated as of January 11, 1999 between Webtrak Limited and HNC, which
HNC has assigned to Retek, as such agreement was in effect on the date it was
assigned to Retek by HNC, pursuant to an Assignment of Option Agreement between
HNC and Retek dated as of September 9, 1999; and (ii) Retek may enter into, and
perform its obligations under, a loan or credit agreement with a bank or similar
financial institution for the borrowing of up to a maximum of Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000) in cash, provided that (i) such borrowing is on an
unsecured basis with no security interest or other lien imposed on any assets or
properties of Retek or any other member of the Retek Group or of HNC or any
other member of the HNC Group; and (ii) neither HNC nor any other member of the
HNC Group is required to provide any guarantee, indemnification or similar
assurance with regard to any borrowing or other obligation of Retek or any
member of the Retek Group with respect to such loan or credit agreement.
(b) Equity Incentive Plans. Retek shall establish and maintain for the
benefit of its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors and
those of its subsidiaries, equity incentive, stock option and similar plans or
arrangements satisfactory and acceptable to HNC;
(c) Board of Directors. Each of Retek, RIS and HNC shall nominate (and
if necessary and permitted to be done by them, elect and appoint) such persons
to the Retek and the RIS Board of Directors, as applicable, and such officers of
Retek and RIS, as applicable, as HNC may request in order to effect the
composition of the Board of Directors and officers of each of Retek and RIS
which must be in effect upon the Closing as provided in Section 3.3, consistent
with the provisions of the Corporate Rights Agreement, and to establish such
committees of their respective Boards as HNC may request in preparation for the
Initial Public Offering, consistent with the provisions of the Corporate Rights
Agreement;
(d) Charter Documents Amendments. HNC shall cause Retek and RIS to
adopt by all necessary board and stockholder actions any amendments to their
Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws to effect changes necessary thereto so
that, upon the Closing, their Certificates of
<PAGE> 12
Incorporation and Bylaws conform, in each case, to those required to be in
effect upon the Closing as provided in Section 3.3;
(e) Remedial Actions. In addition to the actions set forth in the
preceding subparagraph (e), Retek and RIS shall consult with HNC in advance of
any remedial action therefor (unless delay in such consultation would create a
serious, present threat to the lives of HNC, Retek or RIS personnel or
third-parties present on their premises, or HNC's, Retek's or RIS's property)
when any event occurs which, in the judgment of Retek's or RIS's management
requires suspension or termination of any key Retek or RIS employee;
(f) Consents. Retek and RIS shall assist HNC in identifying each Retek
Asset or Retek Liability to be assigned at the Closing which requires an HNC
Release or Consent to assignment and co-operate with HNC to obtain such HNC
Releases and such Consents;
(g) Investigations. Retek and RIS shall notify HNC immediately (and in
no event more than 24 hours after the discovery thereof) of the receipt of any
correspondence or communications from any Governmental Authority revealing the
investigation of their affairs or any aspect thereof or correspondence or
communications from any Person revealing the commencement of any litigation
against either of them, and comply with HNC's reasonable requests in responding
to any such event;
(h) Material Adverse Effect. Retek and RIS shall inform HNC as promptly
as reasonably possible upon the occurrence of any other event the occurrence of
which may have a material adverse affect on the Retek Business, on the
Separation, the Initial Public Offering or the Distribution;
(i) Returns and Reports. Retek and RIS shall co-operate with HNC, in a
manner consistent with past practices, so that all tax returns filed jointly by
HNC with either or both of them shall be timely prepared and filed, any reports
(including HNC periodic reports under the Exchange Act) shall be timely prepared
and filed, and any other accounting or administrative matters between HNC and
Retek or HNC and RIS shall be handled in a reasonably prompt and prudent manner;
(j) Stock Options. Retek hereby agrees with HNC that: (a) prior to the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, Retek shall not grant any options to
purchase shares of Retek common stock to any person who holds options to
purchase shares of HNC common stock, unless such person first executes and
delivers to Retek and HNC a Notice of Election to Exchange Options attached to
the Retek Employee Stock Option Exchange Program documentation, dated October
18, 1999, the form of which has been agreed upon by HNC and Retek; and (b) until
the closing of the Initial Public Offering the aggregate number of shares of
Retek common stock reserved and/or previously issued under all Retek stock
option plans or stock option agreements at any one time shall not exceed an
aggregate total of 10,100,000 shares of Retek common stock, as presently
constituted.
(k) Insurance Matters. HNC, Retek and RIS shall use reasonable efforts
to maintain in full force and effect at all times up to and including the
Closing Date all property and casualty insurance programs currently maintained
by HNC, Retek or RIS as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation,
primary and excess general liability, automobile, workers'
<PAGE> 13
compensation, property and crime insurance policies (collectively, the
"Policies" and individually, a "Policy"). HNC and its subsidiaries shall retain,
with respect to any Covered Claims set forth on Schedule 3.1(k) relating to
periods prior to the Closing Date, all of their respective rights, benefits and
privileges, if any, under such Policies.
(i) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided
in the Services Agreement, commencing on and as of the Closing
Date, Retek (for itself and for RIS) shall be responsible for
establishing and for maintaining its own separate insurance
programs (including, without limitation, primary and excess
general liability, automobile, workers' compensation,
property, director and officer liability, errors and
omissions, fire, crime, surety and other similar insurance
policies) for activities, losses and claims relating to any
period on or after the Closing Date involving Retek, RIS or
any other member of the Retek Group. Notwithstanding any other
agreement or understanding to the contrary, except as
expressly otherwise provided in the Services Agreement or in
Section 3.1(k)(ii) with respect to claims administration and
financial administration of the Policies, neither HNC nor any
of its subsidiaries shall have any responsibility for or
obligation to Retek or its subsidiaries relating to liability
and casualty insurance matters for any period, whether prior
to, at or after the Closing Date;
(ii) HNC shall be responsible for the claims
administration and financial administration of all Policies
for Covered Claims relating to the assets, ownership or
operation of the Retek Business prior to the Closing Date.
Retek shall be responsible for all administrative and
financial matters relating to insurance policies established
and maintained by Retek and RIS for claims relating to any
period on or after the Closing Date involving Retek or RIS or
any other member of the Retek Group.
(iii) Retek shall promptly notify HNC of any claim
(including any Covered Claim) relating to Retek or RIS under
one or more of the Policies relating to a period prior to the
Closing Date, and Retek and RIS agree to cooperate and
coordinate with HNC concerning any strategy HNC may reasonably
elect to pursue to secure coverage and payment for such claim
by the appropriate insurance carrier. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein, in any other agreement or applicable Policy
or any understanding to the contrary, except to the extent
otherwise expressly provided in the Services Agreement, Retek
assumes responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate
insurance carriers or otherwise, any premiums,
retrospectively-rated premiums, defense costs, indemnity
payments, deductibles, retentions or other charges, as
appropriate (collectively, "Insurance Charges"), whenever
arising, which shall become due and payable under the terms
and conditions of any applicable Policy in respect of any
liabilities, losses, claims, actions or occurrences, whenever
arising or becoming known, involving or relating to any of the
assets, businesses, operations or liabilities of Retek or RIS
during the period after the Closing Date. To the extent that
the terms of any applicable Policy provide that HNC or a
subsidiary thereof, as appropriate, shall have an obligation
to pay or guarantee the payment of any Insurance Charges for
which Retek has assumed responsibility in the
<PAGE> 14
preceding sentence, HNC or such subsidiary shall be entitled
to demand that Retek or RIS make such payment directly to the
person or entity entitled thereto. In connection with any such
demand, HNC shall submit to Retek or RIS a copy of any invoice
received by HNC or a subsidiary pertaining to such Insurance
Charges, together with appropriate supporting documentation,
if available. If Retek or its subsidiary fails to pay any such
Insurance Charges when due and payable, whether at the request
of the party entitled to payment or upon demand by HNC or a
subsidiary of HNC, HNC or a subsidiary of HNC may (but shall
not be required to) pay such Insurance Charges for and on
behalf of Retek or its subsidiary and, thereafter, Retek or
its subsidiary shall forthwith reimburse HNC or such
subsidiary of HNC for such payment; and
(l) HNC, Retek and RIS shall take any and all other steps reasonably
necessary to prepare for the Separation and to cause the satisfaction of the
closing conditions thereto.
3.2 PREPARATIONS FOR THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING.
(a) Efforts; Abandonment. Subject to the conditions specified in
Section 3.3, HNC, Retek and RIS shall use their good faith efforts to consummate
the Initial Public Offering; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, HNC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may cause Retek to abandon
the Separation and the Initial Public Offering as provided in Section 8.1, in
which event the Separation shall not occur and Retek shall not consummate or
close the Initial Public Offering, and shall discontinue all efforts to
consummate the Initial Public Offering and shall withdraw the Registration
Statement as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b) Expenses. HNC and Retek shall pay the costs and expenses as
described in Section 8.2 as set forth therein.
(c) D&O Insurance. Retek shall diligently attempt to secure directors'
and officers' insurance on customary terms reasonably acceptable to HNC,
insuring the directors and officers of Retek.
(d) Proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The Initial Public
Offering will include only a primary offering of Common Stock by Retek. Retek
will retain the net proceeds of the primary offering.
3.3 HNC BOARD ACTION; CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO HNC'S OBLIGATION TO EFFECT
THE SEPARATION. HNC's Board of Directors shall, in its discretion, establish any
appropriate procedures, in addition to those set forth in this Section 3, in
connection with the Separation. In no event shall HNC be obligated to effect the
Separation and in no event shall the Separation occur until concurrently with
the initial closing of Retek's issuance and sale of shares of its Common Stock
in the Initial Public Offering and in no event shall the Separation occur unless
and until each of the following conditions, together with those established by
HNC's Board of Directors, shall have been satisfied, unless waived in writing by

terminate as of the Closing Date, including but not limited to the
liability and obligation of Retek or HNC, as applicable, to make any
payment to the other required to be made by the provisions of Section
2.6;
(ii) Any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed,
transferred or assigned to such Person in accordance with this
Agreement;
(iii) Any Liability of any Person under this Agreement
(including but not limited to indemnification obligations of such
Person under this Article IV) or under any Ancillary Agreement;
(iv) Any Liability for the sale, lease or receipt of goods,
property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course
of business by Retek or RIS from any member of the HNC Group or by any
member of the HNC Group from Retek or RIS;
(v) Any Liability that the parties may have with respect to
indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, including but not limited to indemnification or
contribution for claims brought against any of the parties by third
Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this
Article IV and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the
Ancillary Agreements; or
<PAGE> 19
(vi) Any Liability the release of which would result in the
release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this
Section 4.1; provided that the parties agree not to bring suit or
permit any of their subsidiaries to bring suit against any Person with
respect to any Liability to the extent that such Person would be
released with respect to such Liability by this Section 4.1 but for the
provision of this clause (vi).
(e) Covenant Not to Make Claims on Released Matters. Retek shall not
make any claim or demand or bring or commence any Action asserting any claim or
demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against HNC or
any member of the HNC Group or any other Person released pursuant to Section
4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). RIS
shall not make any claim or demand or bring or commence any Action asserting any
claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against
HNC or any member of the HNC Group or any other Person released pursuant to
Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section
4.1(b). HNC shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the HNC Group to
make, any claim or demand or bring or commence any Action asserting any claim or
demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against Retek or
RIS or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(c), with respect to any
Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(c).
(f) Intent. It is the intention of each of HNC, Retek and RIS, by
virtue of the provisions of this Section 4.1, to provide for a full and complete
release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts,
omissions and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred
or failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or
before the Closing Date, between or among Retek or RIS or any of their
Affiliates, on the one hand, and HNC or any member of the HNC Group, on the
other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or
alleged to exist between or among such Persons on or before the Closing Date),
except as expressly set forth in Section 4.1(d). At any time, at the request of
any other party, each party shall execute and deliver, confirmations or releases
reflecting the provisions hereof.
(g) Waiver. In connection with the releases granted by the parties
hereunder, each of Retek, RIS and HNC, on behalf of itself and each Person for
whom it granted a release pursuant to this Section 4.1, hereby expressly waives
any and all rights conferred upon it by the provisions of Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code and any similar law. Section 1542 of the California Civil
Code reads as follows: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING
THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT
WITH THE DEBTOR." Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants that
it has discussed the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
with its respective counsel and has been advised of the effect of the waiver of
the provisions of that Section.
4.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY RETEK AND RIS. Except as provided in Section 4.5 and
except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from
and after the Closing Date, Retek and RIS shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless HNC, each member of the HNC Group and each of their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees and each of the heirs, executors,
successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "HNC
<PAGE> 20
Indemnitees") from and against any and all Liabilities of the HNC Indemnitees
relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items
(without duplication):
(a) The failure of Retek or any other Person to pay, perform or
otherwise promptly discharge any Retek Liability or Retek Contract in accordance
with their respective terms, whether prior to or after the Closing Date or the
Effective Date hereof;
(b) The Retek Business, any or all of the Retek Liabilities or any
Retek Contract;
(c) Any breach by Retek or RIS of this Agreement or any of the
Ancillary Agreements;
(d) Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect
to all information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus;
provided, however, that Retek and RIS shall not be liable to any HNC Indemnitee
in any such case to the extent (and only to the extent) that any such liability
arises out of or relates to any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission, directly relating to HNC that is contained in
the following parts of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement: (i) the
first sentence of the fourth paragraph in "Prospectus Summary - Retek Inc.";
(ii) the first sentence of the first paragraph in "Prospectus Summary - Our
Relationship with HNC Software Inc."; (iii) the first sentence of the second
risk factor in "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Securities Markets and Ownership

(e) Any violation by Retek or RIS of (i) the Securities Act, (ii) any
other federal law, rule or regulation regarding securities or (iii) any state or
other law, rule or regulation regarding securities in connection with the
Initial Public Offering or any subsequent offering or transaction involving
securities of Retek or RIS; provided however, that neither Retek nor RIS shall
be liable to provide indemnification for any Liabilities arising from matters
specifically described in the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (e) that
were directly caused by or arose from information regarding an HNC Indemnitee
that is contained in a registration statement or prospectus giving rise to such
Liabilities if such information was provided by such HNC Indemnitee to Retek or
RIS specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and
(f) Any indemnification or contribution payments made by HNC to any of
the Underwriters (including but not limited to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation) that are paid or payable as a result of any indemnification
obligation of HNC or Retek arising under the Underwriting Agreement, that were
not paid or satisfied by Retek.
4.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY HNC. Except as provided in Section 4.5 and except as
otherwise expressly provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after
the Closing Date, HNC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Retek and each
of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and
employees and each of the heirs, executors, successors and
<PAGE> 21
assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Retek Indemnitees") from and
against any and all Liabilities of Retek Indemnitees relating to, arising out of
or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):
(a) The failure of HNC or any other member of the HNC Group or any
other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Liability of
any member of the HNC Group (other than Retek Liabilities) in accordance with
its terms, whether prior to or after the Closing Date or the date hereof;

omission directly relates to HNC and is contained in the following parts of the
Prospectus or the Registration Statement: (i) the first sentence of the fourth
paragraph in "Prospectus Summary - Retek Inc."; (ii) the first sentence of the
first paragraph in "Prospectus Summary - Our Relationship with HNC Software
Inc."; (iii) the first sentence of the second risk factor in "Risk Factors -
Risks Related to Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock"; (iv) the
second paragraph in "Our Separation from HNC - Overview"; (v) the second
paragraph and the third sentence of the third paragraph in "Our Separation from
HNC - Possible Future Distribution by HNC of our Common Stock"; and (vi) all the
information in "Principal Stockholder.
4.4 NOTICE AND PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. If any HNC Indemnitee or Retek Indemnitee
(the "Indemnified Party") determines that it is or may be entitled to
indemnification under this Article IV (other than in connection with any Action
subject to Section 4.5), then the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the person
from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"), a written
notice (a "Claim Notice") specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the
basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified
Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. After the
Indemnifying Party shall have been notified of the amount for which the
Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall, within
sixty (60) days after its receipt of such written notice, either (i) pay the
Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds (or
reach agreement with the Indemnified Party as to a mutually agreeable
alternative payment schedule) or (ii) object to the claim for indemnification or
the amount thereof by giving the Indemnified Party written notice setting forth
the grounds therefor. Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with the
provisions of Article VII. If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice
within such sixty (60) day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed
to have acknowledged its liability for such claim to the extent that the amount
of such liability is specifically set forth in the Claim Notice and the
Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to
collect such amount.
<PAGE> 22
4.5 NOTICE AND DEFENSE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. Promptly following the
earlier of (A) receipt of written notice of the commencement by a third party of
any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (B) receipt
of written information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim
against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which
indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IV of
this Agreement (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Failure of the Indemnified
Party to give such written notice as provided in this Section 4.5 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give
notice. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail,
and attach any documentation received from the claimant (including, if
applicable, a copy of any complaint filed against the Indemnified Party)
asserting such Third-Party Claim.
(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the
Indemnifying Party may, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified
Party, (i) elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its sole
cost and expense or (ii) object to the claim of indemnification for such
Third-Party Claim setting forth the grounds for its objection. Any objection
shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article VII. If the
Indemnifying Party does not within such thirty (30) day period give the
Indemnified Party such notice, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
have acknowledged its liability for such Third-Party Claim.
(b) Any defense of a Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying
Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by counsel employed
by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to HNC (in the case of HNC
Indemnitees) or Retek (in the case of Retek Indemnitees). The Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by
counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole cost and expense;
provided that if the defendants or parties against which relief is sought in any
such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnified
Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of HNC (in the case of HNC Indemnitees)
or Retek (in the case of Retek Indemnitees), an actual or potential conflict of
interest between such Indemnified Parties and such Indemnifying Party exists in
respect of such claim or with regard to a defense thereto, such Indemnified
Parties shall have the right to employ one firm of counsel selected by HNC (for
HNC Indemnitees) or Retek (for Retek Indemnitees) and in that event the
reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one
separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be
paid by such Indemnifying Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party
Claim, then the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that without the
prior written consent of HNC (in the case of HNC Indemnitees) and Retek (in the
case of Retek Indemnitees), the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such
settlement unless as a condition to such settlement the Indemnified Party
receives a written release from any and all liability relating to such
Third-Party Claim and such settlement or compromise does not include any remedy
or relief to be applied to or against the Indemnified Party or its assets,
properties or business, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying
Party shall be fully responsible hereunder and which the Indemnifying Party pays
upon execution of the settlement.
<PAGE> 23
(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a
Third-Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification
under this Article IV, HNC (in the case of HNC Indemnitees) and Retek (in the
case of Retek Indemnitees) may pursue the defense of such Third-Party Claim and
choose one firm of counsel in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party is
required to reimburse HNC or Retek, as the case may be, on a current basis for
its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney's fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by HNC (in the case of HNC
Indemnitees) and Retek (in the case of Retek Indemnitees) in defending against
such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result
obtained with respect to such Third-Party Claim with respect to such
Indemnifying Party's indemnification obligations under this Article IV, provided
that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected
without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(e) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash
the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if
any) no later than the later of (i) the date on which the Indemnified Party
makes any payment in satisfaction (partial or otherwise) of the Third-Party
Claim or (ii) the date on which such Indemnifying Party's objection, if any, to
its responsibility for indemnification under this Article IV has been resolved
pursuant to the provisions of Article VII or by settlement or compromise or the
final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.6 INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be
required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IV shall be
reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds
or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified Parties
in reduction of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party shall have
received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in
respect of a Liability and shall subsequently actually receive insurance
proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such Liability as specified above, then
such Indemnified Party shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the
amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received in respect
of such Liability.
4.7 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV is
for any reason unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liability
arising out of or related to information contained in or omitted from the
Registration Statement, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the
Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of such Liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one
hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the
actions or omissions which resulted in such Liability. If the Liability in
question arises from statements or omissions that are untrue or are alleged to
be untrue, then the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand,
and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or
the Indemnified Party, on the other hand; and the intent of the parties and
their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission; but not by reference to any Indemnified
Party's stock ownership in Retek. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
<PAGE> 24
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.8 SUBROGATION. In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any
Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying
Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the first place of such
Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such
Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party
Claim. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a
reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in
prosecuting any subrogated right or claim, provided, however, that this right of
subrogation shall be construed in such a way so that it does not discharge any
insurance carrier for an Indemnifying Party for any obligation under any
insurance policy which provides coverage for such Indemnifying Party from any
loss asserted or involved in or related to such Third-Party Claim.
4.9 NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Article IV shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by HNC, the HNC Indemnitees, Retek and Retek
Indemnitees and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The
indemnification provided for by this Article IV shall not inure to the benefit
of any other third party or parties, relieve any insurer who would otherwise be
obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility to pay such claim or, solely by
virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, provide any subrogation rights
with respect thereto. Each party agrees to waive such subrogation rights against
the other to the fullest extent permitted.
4.10 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be
cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any
other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against an
Indemnifying Party. The procedures set forth in this Article IV, however, shall
be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action brought under this
Article IV or otherwise relating to Liabilities.
4.11 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The rights and obligations of each of HNC and
Retek and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive the
sale or other transfer by it of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it
of any Liabilities and shall, without limitation, survive the consummation and
closing of the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and (if it should ever
occur) the Distribution.
ARTICLE V
THE DISTRIBUTION
5.1 POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION. HNC currently intends (but HNC has not agreed
or committed that), following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering,
to complete the Distribution, subject to the satisfaction and fulfillment of
several conditions. These conditions would include, but not necessarily be
limited to, the following conditions: (a) HNC's receipt of a written ruling from
the Internal Revenue Service that the Distribution qualifies for tax-free
treatment under Section 355 of the Code such that HNC's stockholders and HNC and
its Affiliates will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes as a
result of the Distribution, (b) the approval and declaration of the Distribution
by HNC's Board of Directors, (c) the absence of any change in economic or market
conditions or other circumstances that would cause HNC's Board of
<PAGE> 25
Directors to conclude that the Distribution was not in the best interests of HNC
and HNC's stockholders, and (d) HNC being able to effect the Distribution in
compliance with applicable laws (including but not limited to applicable
securities laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law) and HNC's contractual
obligations. However, HNC shall not have any obligation or commitment whatsoever
so any Person (including but not limited to Retek or RIS or their security
holders) to effect or consummate the Distribution. HNC shall, in its sole and
absolute discretion, determine when and whether to proceed with all or part of
the Distribution and all terms of the Distribution, including, without
limitation, the form, structure and terms of any transaction(s) and/or
offering(s) to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the
consummation of the Distribution. In addition, HNC may at any time and from time
to time until the completion of the Distribution abandon, modify or change any
or all of the terms of the Distribution, including without limitation, by
accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the
Distribution. Retek shall cooperate with HNC in all commercially reasonable
respects to accomplish the Distribution (if HNC elects, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to effect the Distribution) and shall, at HNC's direction, promptly
take any and all actions necessary or desirable to effect the Distribution,
including, without limitation, the registration under the Securities Act of
Retek Common Stock on an appropriate registration form or forms to be designated
by HNC. HNC shall select any investment banker(s) and manager(s) in connection
with the Distribution, as well as any other institutions providing services in
connection with the Distribution.
5.2 CERTAIN MATTERS. If HNC elects, in its sole discretion, to effect the
Distribution, then from and after the distribution of Retek Common Stock in
connection with any transaction(s) included as part of the Distribution and
until such Retek Common Stock is duly transferred in accordance with applicable
law, Retek shall regard the Persons receiving Retek Common Stock in such
transaction(s) as record holders of Retek Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of such transaction(s) without requiring any action on the part of such
Persons. Retek agrees that, subject to any transfers of such stock, (a) each
such holder shall be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise
voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the shares of
Retek Common Stock then held by such holder and (b) each such holder shall be
entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive one or more
certificates representing, or other evidence of ownership of, the shares of
Retek Common Stock then held by such holder. HNC shall cooperate, and shall
instruct the HNC stock transfer agent to cooperate, with Retek and the Retek
stock transfer agent, and Retek shall cooperate, and shall instruct the Retek
stock transfer agent to cooperate, with HNC and the HNC Transfer Agent, in
connection with all aspects of the Distribution and all other matters relating
to the issuance and delivery of certificates representing, or other evidence of
ownership of, the shares of Retek Common Stock distributed to the holders of HNC
Common Stock in connection with any transaction(s) included as part of the
Distribution. Following the Distribution, HNC shall promptly, but in no event no
later than two (2) business days thereafter, instruct the HNC stock transfer
agent to deliver to the Retek stock transfer agent true, correct and complete
copies of the stock and transfer records reflecting the holders of HNC Common
Stock receiving shares of Retek Common Stock in connection with any
transaction(s) included as part of the Distribution.
5.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES REGARDING THE DISTRIBUTION.
(a) General. In addition to the actions specifically provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement, if HNC elects, in its sole discretion, to effect
the Distribution, then Retek shall, at
<PAGE> 26
HNC's direction, use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things commercially
reasonably necessary, proper or expeditious under applicable laws, regulations
and agreements in order to consummate and make effective the Distribution as
promptly as reasonably practicable. In particular, Retek agrees with HNC that,
if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for HNC or for Retek, it is necessary to
register HNC's transfer of its shares of Retek stock to HNC's stockholders in
the Distribution in order for the Distribution to be effected in compliance with
the Securities Act and/or for recipients of shares of Retek stock in the
Distribution to be able to immediately effect public resales of such Retek
shares in compliance with the Securities Act, then Retek will promptly cooperate
with HNC to cause the Distribution to be registered under the Securities Act,
provided that HNC's counsel has first consulted with Retek's counsel regarding
the necessity of such registration. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Retek shall, at HNC's direction, cooperate with HNC, and execute and
deliver, or use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to have executed
and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment
and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents,
approvals or authorizations of, any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority
and each self-regulatory body and securities exchange or automated inter-dealer
quotation system on which Retek's Common Stock is listed or quoted requested by
HNC in order to consummate and make effective the Distribution.
(b) Assistance. After the Closing Date, Retek and RIS shall cooperate
with HNC and shall take such actions as HNC may reasonably request (including
without limitation providing all information, preparing and filing all
documentation as HNC may reasonably request and, if requested by HNC,
participating in any conferences with the Internal Revenue Service to seek a
ruling as to whether the Distribution qualifies for tax-free treatment under
Section 355 of the Code such that HNC's stockholders and HNC and its Affiliates
will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes as a result of the
Distribution to assist HNC in planning or effecting the Distribution and/or in
determining whether the Distribution can be effected without recognition of
taxable income as aforesaid. If the Internal Revenue Service provides HNC with a
favorable ruling that the Distribution will be tax-free under Section 355 of the
Code, then after the Closing Date, Retek and RIS shall take such actions and
refrain from taking such actions as necessary to insure, as nearly as reasonably
possible consistent with the fiduciary duties which HNC, Retek and RIS owe to
stockholders, that the conditions announced in any such ruling to the tax-free
nature of the Distribution are satisfied.
(c) Participation Rights. If HNC elects, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to effect the Distribution, then HNC shall keep Retek informed in a
timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by HNC in
connection therewith. HNC shall, reasonably in advance of any submission by HNC
to the Internal Revenue Service of any request for a ruling by the Internal
Revenue Service as to whether the Distribution qualifies for tax-free treatment
under Section 355 of the Code such that HNC's stockholders and HNC and its
Affiliates will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes as a result
of the Distribution, (A) provide Retek with a draft copy of such ruling request,
(B) reasonably consider Retek's comments on such draft copy, and (C) provide
Retek with a final copy of such ruling request submitted to the Internal Revenue
Service.
<PAGE> 27
(d) Capital Stock. Retek shall not issue any shares of its capital
stock such that, immediately following such issuance, HNC would be unable to
effect the Distribution on a tax-free basis as described in Section 5.1 and in
Section 5.3(b).
5.4 RETEK BOARD OF DIRECTORS. HNC and Retek shall each take all actions
which may be required to elect or otherwise appoint as directors of Retek,
effective immediately after the date on which the Distribution occurs, such
individuals as may be designated by Retek's Board of Directors (which
designation shall be approved by the majority of Retek's directors who are at
such time neither officers nor directors of HNC) as additional or substitute
members of the Board of Directors of Retek on the date on which the Distribution
occurs. HNC shall use its diligent and reasonable efforts to cause those members
of Retek's Board of Directors who are HNC's designees pursuant to Section 3.1 of
this Agreement or the Corporate Rights Agreement to resign from Retek's Board of
Directors as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Distribution
occurs.
5.5 CERTAIN POST-DISTRIBUTION TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Actions Inconsistent with the Rulings. In the event that stock of
Retek (or any successor thereto) is ultimately distributed to any or all of
HNC's stockholders pursuant to transactions intended to qualify under Section
355 of the Code, Retek shall not take or fail to take, and shall not permit any
Affiliate of Retek to take or fail to take, any action if such act or failure to
act would be inconsistent with any representation, covenant, information or
condition in any ruling, including for all purposes of this Agreement any
supplemental rulings (collectively, the "Rulings") issued by the Internal
Revenue Service in connection with the Distribution or in any representation,
covenant or any information included in any submission to the Internal Revenue
Service in connection with the Rulings (together with the Rulings, the "Rulings
and Submissions").
(b) Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Tax Sharing Agreement, Retek and the Affiliates of Retek (other
than HNC or any member of the HNC Group) as of the time immediately following
the occurrence of the Distribution shall be jointly and severally liable for,
and shall indemnify and hold harmless HNC and each Affiliate of HNC (other than
any member of the Retek Group) from and against, on an After-Tax Basis, any and
all Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to Tax) resulting from
the Distribution to the extent such Taxes result in whole or in part from (i)
any event or transaction occurring after the Distribution that involves the
stock, assets or business of Retek or any of its Affiliates, whether or not such
event or transaction is the result of the direct actions of, or within the
control of, Retek or any of its Affiliates, (ii) any act or failure to act on
the part of Retek or any of its Affiliates after the Distribution, (iii) the
breach of any representation, covenant, information or condition regarding Retek
or any of its Affiliates included in the Rulings and Submissions or in any
Subsequent Ruling (as defined below), or (iv) any actions contemplated by
Section 5.5(c) below, regardless of whether HNC consents to such actions
pursuant to Section 5.5(d) below.
(c) Covenants Specific to Distribution Tax Matters. Retek agrees that
during the two (2) year period immediately following completion of the
Distribution (the "Restriction Period"), Retek and RIS will not, and will not
permit any Affiliates of Retek or RIS to:
<PAGE> 28
(i) sell, exchange, distribute or otherwise transfer or
agree to sell, exchange, distribute or transfer, all or
a substantial portion of its assets (within the meaning
of Rev. Proc. 77-37), or any stock or equity interest
in any Affiliate of Retek, in a single transaction or a
series of transactions;
(ii) voluntarily dissolve or liquidate or enter into any
merger, consolidation or reorganization transaction;
(iii) (A) solicit any Person or Persons to make a tender
offer for the equity securities of Retek, (B)
participate in or support any unsolicited tender offer
for the equity securities of Retek or (C) approve any
proposed business combination or any transaction which
would result in any Person or Persons acquiring
directly or indirectly a 50% or greater interest
(within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) in
Retek;
(iv) whether before or subsequent to the expiration of the
Restriction Period, engage in any action described in
clause (iii) above if it is pursuant to an arrangement
negotiated (in whole or in part) prior to or subsequent
to the Distribution, even if at the time of the
Distribution it is subject to various conditions;
(v) liquidate, dispose of or otherwise discontinue or
otherwise fail to maintain the active conduct of the
trade or business relied upon in connection with the
Rulings and Submissions;
(vi) sell or otherwise issue to any Person or Persons, or
redeem or otherwise acquire from any Person or Persons,
any of its outstanding stock (other than stock
purchases meeting the requirements of section
4.05(1)(b) of Rev. Proc. 96-30) that in the aggregate
(including shares issued and sold in the Initial Public
Offering) would result in the acquisition of a 50% or
greater interest (within the meaning of Section 355(e)
of the Code) directly or indirectly by any Person or
Persons in Retek;
(vii) issue any stock or equity interests (except pursuant to
the exercise of employee stock options) that in the
aggregate (including shares issued and sold in the
Initial Public Offering) would result in the
acquisition of a 50% or greater interest (within the
meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) directly or
indirectly by any Person or Persons in Retek;
(viii) enter into any agreement for the sale or other
disposition of its stock or equity interests;
(ix) take any action inconsistent with the representations,
covenants or information included in the Rulings and
Submissions or that would result in the Distribution
being Taxable in whole or part to HNC or any of its
Affiliates or HNC's stockholders; or
<PAGE> 29
(x) engage in any agreement, understanding, arrangement or
negotiation, directly or indirectly, with any Person or
Persons with respect to any of the restricted actions
described in clauses (i) through (ix) above.
If the Internal Revenue Service issues guidance, or Treasury
Regulations are issued under Section 355(e) of the Code, the parties hereby
agree to meet to review the covenants set forth in this Section 5.5(c) and to
consider making appropriate revisions thereto to reflect such guidance and/or
Treasury Regulations.
(d) Exceptions to Covenants. Notwithstanding Section 5.5(c) above,
Retek or any Affiliate of Retek may take actions inconsistent with the covenants
contained in such Section 5.5(c), if, and only if: (i) HNC expressly consents in
writing to such actions, such consent to be given or withheld by HNC in its sole
and absolute discretion taking into account solely the preservation of the
tax-free status of the Distribution under Section 355 of the Code; or (ii) HNC
has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to HNC, to the effect that such proposed transaction
will not adversely affect the tax-free status of the Distribution under Section
355 of the Code (a "Subsequent Ruling"). Retek agrees that HNC is to have no
liability for any Tax to the extent such Tax results from any restricted action
or actions of Retek or any Affiliate of Retek that are permitted pursuant to
this Section 5.5(d) and Retek agrees to indemnify and hold harmless HNC against
any such Tax notwithstanding the giving by HNC of its consent to such restricted
action or actions or the receipt by HNC of any Subsequent Ruling.
(e) Cooperation. HNC shall cooperate with Retek in connection with a
request by Retek that HNC seek a Subsequent Ruling; provided, however, that HNC
shall have no obligation to seek a Subsequent Ruling if, after consulting with
its tax advisors, HNC in good faith believes that (a) it is not reasonably
probable that the Internal Revenue Service will rule that the proposed action or
transaction by Retek will not adversely affect the tax-free status of the
Distribution under Section 355 of the Code; or (b) seeking the Subsequent Ruling
may adversely affect or change any prior ruling or determination by the Internal
Revenue Service that the Distribution qualifies for tax-free treatment under
Section 355 of the Code. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation,
providing any information and/or representations required to enable HNC or its
counsel to obtain and maintain any Subsequent Ruling; provided that HNC's
reasonable refusal to give or make a representation will not be deemed to be a
failure to cooperate.
(f) Notice. Until the first day after the Restriction Period, Retek
will provide adequate written notice to HNC of any action described in
paragraphs (i) through (x) of Section 5.5(c) above, without regard to the
exceptions thereto, within a period of time reasonably sufficient to enable HNC
(i) to make the determination to give or withhold its consent to such action as
referred to in Section 5.5(d), (ii) to prepare and seek any Subsequent Ruling in
connection with such proposed action, or (iii) to seek injunctive relief
enjoining such action pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof in a court of competent
jurisdiction. Each such notice shall set forth the terms and conditions of the
proposed action, including, without limitation, the nature of any related action
proposed to be taken by the Board of Directors of Retek, the approximate number
of shares of Retek stock (if any) proposed to be sold by Retek or otherwise
issued by Retek in such proposed action, if any, the approximate value of
Retek's assets (or assets of any of the Retek Subsidiaries) proposed to be
transferred in such proposed action, if any, and the
<PAGE> 30
proposed timetable for such transaction, all with sufficient particularity to
enable HNC to make such determination, to prepare and seek such Subsequent
Ruling or to seek such injunctive relief. Promptly, but in any event within
thirty (30) days, after HNC receives such written notice from Retek, HNC shall
notify Retek in writing of such determination or of HNC's intent to seek (or not
to seek) a Subsequent Ruling and the proposed date for the initial submission
thereof, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after HNC so notifies
Retek of its intent to seek such Subsequent Ruling, provided that such 30-day
period or 60-day period, as the case may be, shall be appropriately extended for
any period of noncompliance by Retek with this Section 5.5(f). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(f) is intended to permit Retek to
take any action described in paragraphs (i) through (x) of Section 5.5(c) unless
such action is taken as permitted strictly in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.5(d).
5.6 ENFORCEMENT. The parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable harm would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
The parties hereto agree that, in order to preserve the tax-free treatment of
the Distribution, injunctive relief is appropriate to prevent any violation by
Retek or RIS of the foregoing covenants, provided, however, that injunctive
relief shall not be the exclusive legal or equitable remedy for any such
violation.
ARTICLE VI
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
6.1 PROVISION OF CERTAIN CORPORATE DOCUMENTS. Each of HNC, Retek and RIS
shall arrange as soon as practicable following the Closing Date for the
provision to the other party of the other party's existing corporate governance
documents (e.g. certificate of incorporation, by laws, minute books, stock
registers, stock certificates, etc.) in its possession relating to the other
party. Each party may make and keep copies of all such documents as it is
required to provide to any other party hereunder.
6.2 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. From and after the Closing Date, each of HNC,
Retek and RIS shall afford the other, including its accountants, counsel and
other designated representatives, reasonable access (including using reasonable
efforts to give access to persons or firms possessing information) and
duplicating rights during normal business hours to all records, books,
contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information in such
party's possession relating to the business and affairs of the other (other than
data and information subject to an attorney/client or other privilege), insofar
as such access is reasonably required by the other party including, without
limitation, for audit, accounting and litigation purposes, as well as for
purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations. In particular, for
so long as HNC is required to include, incorporate or reflect financial
information, financial statements or operating results of Retek and/or any other
member of the Retek Group (a) in HNC's financial statements under generally
accepted accounting principles and/or (b) in any reports or filings required to
be made by HNC under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable
law, then Retek shall (i) provide HNC in good faith with prompt and full access
to such information, including the right to duplicate and retain copies of such
information, (ii) cooperate promptly with HNC as necessary to enable HNC to
timely prepare and file or make any such financial statements, reports or
filings and (iii) provide all time, attention and effort of Retek personnel as
<PAGE> 31
may be reasonably requested by HNC to assist HNC in preparing any such financial
statements, reports or filings.
6.3 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Each of HNC, Retek and RIS shall use reasonable
efforts to make available to the other(s), upon written request, its officers,
directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that such persons may
reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other
proceedings arising out of the business of the other in which the requesting
party may from time to time be involved.
6.4 REIMBURSEMENT. Each party providing witnesses under Section 6.3 to the
other shall be entitled to receive from the party for whom the witness is
provided, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payment for all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses as may be reasonably incurred in providing such
witnesses.
6.5 CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to Section 6.6, each party and each of its
subsidiaries shall hold and shall cause its respective directors, officers,
employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence,
unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the
opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of law, all confidential, trade
secret or proprietary information (other than any such information relating
solely to the business or affairs of such party) concerning the other party
(except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) in the
public domain through no fault of such party, (ii) later lawfully acquired on a
non-confidential basis from other sources by the party to which it was
furnished, and without breach of any obligation or duty by a third-party
concerning confidentiality, (iii) independently generated without reference to
any proprietary or confidential information of the other party, or (iv)
information that may be disclosed pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement). No party
shall release or disclose any such information to any other person, except its
auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and
advisors who shall be advised of and agree to comply with the provisions of this
Section 6.5.
6.6 PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTs. If any party hereto (or any of its
subsidiaries) either (a) determines on the advice of its counsel that it is
required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable law (including but
not limited to disclosure required pursuant to the Code, the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, including the disclosure of financial and other information in
filings or reports made under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or (b)
receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority, to
disclose or provide information of any other party hereto (or any of its
subsidiaries) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such
party shall (except with respect to filings in reports under the Exchange Act
that require such disclosure) notify the other party prior to disclosing or
providing such information and shall cooperate at the expense of the requesting
party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other
party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that received such request may
thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such law
(as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.
6.7 MAIL. After the Closing Date, each of HNC, Retek and RIS may receive
mail, telegrams, packages and other communications properly belonging to the
other. Accordingly, at all times after the Closing Date, each of HNC, Retek and
RIS authorizes the other to receive and open all mail, telegrams, packages and
other communications received by it and not unambiguously
<PAGE> 32
addressed to or intended for the other party or any of the other party's
officers or directors specifically in their capacities as such, and to retain
the same to the extent that they relate to the business of the receiving party
or, to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving party
and do relate to the business of the other party, or to the extent that they
relate to both businesses, the receiving party shall promptly contact the other
party by telephone for delivery instructions and such mail, telegrams, packages
or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies
thereof) shall promptly be forwarded to the other party in accordance with its
delivery instructions. If any party receives mail, telegrams, packages and other
communications belonging to another party and unambiguously addressed to or
intended for such other party, then the party who receives such material shall
promptly contact the other party by telephone for delivery instructions and such
mail, telegrams, packages or other communications shall promptly be forwarded to
the other party in accordance with its delivery instructions. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 6.7 shall constitute full authorization to the postal
authorities, all telegraph and courier companies and all other persons to make
deliveries to HNC, Retek or RIS, as the case may be, addressed to either of them
or to any of their officers or directors specifically in their capacities as
such. The provisions of this Section 6.7 are not intended to and shall not be
deemed to constitute an authorization by either HNC, Retek or RIS to permit any
of the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and no party is or
shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes or
for any other purpose.
6.8 RETENTION OF RECORDS. Except as otherwise required by law or agreed to
in writing, each party shall, and shall cause each of its respective
subsidiaries to, retain all information relating to the other party's business
in accordance with such party's written record retention policy or, if no such
policy exists, the past practice of such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing
and except as provided in any Ancillary Agreement, any party may destroy or
otherwise dispose of any such information at any time upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the other party, specifying the information
proposed to be destroyed or disposed of; provided, however, that if the
recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date
for such destruction or disposal that any of the information proposed to be
destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such requesting party, the party
proposing the destruction or disposal shall promptly arrange for the delivery of
such information as was requested at the expense of the requesting party. Except
as provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement or otherwise required by law or agreed
to in writing, either party shall have the right to destroy or otherwise dispose
of any such information at any time after the second anniversary of the
Effective Date.
ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
7.1 PROCEDURE. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and shall attempt in good
faith to negotiate a settlement of any dispute arising under this Agreement
pursuant to the following process:
(a) Any party having a dispute or claim shall give the other party
written notice stating the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail. Within
twenty (20) business days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party
shall submit to the other a written response also in reasonable detail. Within
five (5) business days after delivery of the written response the Chief
<PAGE> 33
Financial Officers (or other individual who has authority to settle the
controversy and who has direct responsibility for administration of the
relationships established pursuant to this Agreement) for each affected party
shall meet (in person or by telephone) at a mutually acceptable time and place
(including telephonic conference), and thereafter as often as they reasonably
deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for
information made by one party to the other shall be honored.
(b) If such matter has not been resolved within twenty (20) business
days of the referral of the dispute to the Chief Financial Officers, then the
parties may pursue litigation or, if mutually agreed, alternative dispute
resolution mechanisms; provided that a party may earlier pursue litigation if
reasonably necessary to prevent or enjoin any breach of this Agreement for which
money damages would be an inadequate remedy, or that would alter the status quo
or result in injury to such party that cannot readily be compensated for in
money damages.
7.2 SCOPE OF SECTION 7.1. The provisions of Section 7.1 shall apply only to
disputes arising under this Agreement (and not to disputes arising under any
Ancillary Agreement).

SCHEDULE 2.6
TO
SEPARATION AGREEMENT
AMONG HNC SOFTWARE INC., RETEK INC. AND RETEK INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
HNC, Retek and RIS hereby agree that, to the extent that this Schedule 2.6
is inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of Section 2.6 ("Settlement
and Offset of Intercompany Accounts") of this Separation Agreement ("SECTION
2.6"), the provisions and agreements set forth in this Schedule 2.6 shall
govern, control and supersede.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6, the parties hereby agree
that:
1) As of November 23, 1999, the Effective Date of this Agreement, the
Retek Intercompany Payables exceed the Retek Intercompany Receivables. The
parties also acknowledge and agree that it is difficult to complete a final
computation of such amounts by November 23, 1999.
2) Based on its good faith review of its accounting records, HNC
estimates that the Net Retek Closing Payable as of the Closing Date of November
23, 1999 is $9,505,000 (the "ESTIMATED RETEK PAYABLE").
3) Retek agrees to pay HNC the full amount of the Estimated Retek Payable
by no later than the second (2nd) business day after the Closing in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.3(o) of this Separation Agreement.
4) HNC agrees that, by December 31, 1999, it will complete a final
determination of the Retek Intercompany Payables and the Retek Intercompany
Receivables as of November 23, 1999, and the actual Net Retek Closing Payable as
of November 23, 1999 (the "ACTUAL RETEK PAYABLE") and will provide Retek a
written notice of HNC's determination of each of such amounts (the
"DETERMINATION NOTICE") by no later than January 7, 1999.
5) The parties agree that:
(a) if the Actual Retek Payable is greater than the Estimated Retek
Payable, then Retek shall pay to HNC, within five (5) business days after
HNC sends the Determination Notice to Retek, the amount by which the Actual
Retek Payable (as set forth in the Determination Notice) exceeds the
Estimated Retek Payable previously paid by Retek to HNC; and
(b) if the Actual Retek Payable (as set forth in the Determination
Notice) is less than the Estimated Retek Payable, then HNC shall pay to
Retek, within five (5) business days after HNC has finally determined the
Actual Retek
<PAGE> 42
Payable, but in no event later than January 10, 1999, the amount by which
the amount of the Estimated Retek Payable previously paid by Retek to HNC
exceeds the Actual Retek Payable.
6) The parties also agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.6, no party shall be required to deliver an Intercompany Accounts
Certificate at the Closing or at any other time.

EXHIBIT 2.3
TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Technology License Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is made and
entered into as of November 23, 1999 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), by and between HNC
Software Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at
5935 Cornerstone Court West, San Diego, California 92121 ("HNC"), and Retek Inc.
("RETEK"), a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at
Midwest Plaza, 801 Nicollet Mall, 11th Floor, Minneapolis, MN 55402 and, solely
for purposes of Section 3.3, Retek Information Systems Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("RIS").
RECITALS
A. As of the Effective Date, Retek is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC,
and RIS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC.
B. HNC's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of HNC and its stockholders to separate the businesses of Retek and
RIS from HNC's other operations. In furtherance of that objective, HNC has also
determined that it is appropriate and desirable for HNC to contribute and
transfer to Retek all of the capital stock of RIS which HNC owns (so that RIS
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Retek), and that Retek issue and sell
shares of its common stock in an initial public offering registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as contemplated by a Separation Agreement
among HNC, Retek and RIS dated as of November 23, 1999 (the "SEPARATION
AGREEMENT").
C. HNC has previously given RIS access to certain software and know-how
owned by HNC, which RIS has incorporated into certain RIS products, and the
parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to the Separation
Agreement, in order to confirm the terms and conditions on which Retek will be
licensed, on a non-exclusive basis, to use such HNC software and know-how.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

itself and RIS, that HNC shall be entitled to freely use, develop, license,
sell, lease, market and commercially exploit any Underlying Technology in any
manner.
ARTICLE 4: ROYALTIES
In the event that HNC's grant, or Retek's exercise, of any of the
license rights set forth in this Agreement triggers an obligation on the part of
HNC or any of its affiliates to pay any royalty or other payment to a third
party by virtue of any agreement or fact existing on or before the Effective
Date, then Retek shall be responsible for the payment of such royalties or other
payments in full and shall indemnify HNC against all such royalties and other
payments.
ARTICLE 5: WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND HNC AND ITS SUPPLIERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES,

PURPOSE. HNC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY IS ERROR-FREE OR THAT
IT WILL MEET RETEK'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE
5
<PAGE> 6
LICENSED TECHNOLOGY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ERRORS IN THE
LICENSED TECHNOLOGY OR NONCONFORMITY TO ITS DOCUMENTATION CAN OR WILL BE
CORRECTED.
ARTICLE 6: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
6.1 DEFINITION. "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means confidential and
proprietary information of HNC and its affiliates ("DISCLOSING PARTY") that is
disclosed to Retek and its affiliates (collectively, "RECEIVING PARTY") which,
in the case of written information, is marked "confidential" or "proprietary"
and which, in the case of information disclosed orally, is identified at the
time of the disclosure as confidential and proprietary and will be summarized
and confirmed in writing as such by the Disclosing Party within thirty (30)
calendar days of the disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include
information that: (i) is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the
public through no fault or breach of the Receiving Party; (ii) is independently
developed by the Receiving Party after the Effective Date without the use of any
Confidential Information of Disclosing Party; or (iii) the Receiving Party
rightfully obtains from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose
it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party acknowledges
that all of the Licensed Technology (in any form) shall be deemed "Confidential
Information" of HNC for all purposes of this Agreement, whether or not it is so
marked or designated by HNC.
6.2 NONDISCLOSURE. The Receiving Party shall not disclose, publish, or
disseminate the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to anyone other
than those of such Receiving Party's employees and consultants with a need to
know, or as may by required by legal process, and the Receiving Party agrees to
use the same degree of care that it takes to hold in confidence its own most
valuable proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent
any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the
Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to
accept and use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information only for the
purpose of carrying out its authorized activities under this Agreement. In the
event a Receiving Party is required to disclose Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information by an order of a court or governmental agency, then the Receiving
Party shall first give written notice to the Disclosing Party to allow the
Disclosing Party to make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or
other confidential treatment for the Confidential Information.
ARTICLE 7: INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Retek acknowledges that any breach of its obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the Licensed Technology, HNC's Intellectual Property
Rights or HNC's Confidential Information or any failure by Retek to use Licensed
Technology strictly in accordance with the license rights granted to Retek under
Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the additional restrictions contained in
Section 2.2 of this Agreement will cause HNC irreparable injury for which there
are inadequate remedies at law, and therefore, HNC will be entitled to equitable
relief (including but not limited to injunctive relief and the remedy of
6
<PAGE> 7
specific performance) in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by
this Agreement or available at law.

that may arise as a result of Retek's exercise of any of the license rights
granted by HNC to Retek under this Agreement, and Retek shall defend, indemnify,
and hold HNC harmless from and against any and all suits, claims, proceedings,
judgments, awards, damages, loss, liability, cost and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and other related costs) that are
incurred or suffered by HNC or any of its affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, or agents to the extent they arise or result, directly or indirectly,
from (i) Retek's exercise of any license or other rights granted to Retek under
this Agreement; or (ii) the conduct of Retek's business directly or through any
affiliate of Retek.
ARTICLE 9: EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE, OPERATION OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF
THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON
CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE,
AND WHETHER OR NOT HNC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR
DAMAGE.
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL HNC'S AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED $10,000.

the terms of this Agreement.
10.2 MATERIAL BREACH.

(a) Upon the occurrence of (i) any breach or violation by Retek of its

consented to such Change of Control in a writing executed by an officer of HNC;
provided that HNC will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the consummation
of a Change of Control. For purposes of the preceding sentence, HNC will be
deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent to a Change of Control if any
person or entity who would acquire direct or indirect control (as defined below)

directly or indirectly competitive with a business then conducted by HNC or any
of its affiliates. As used herein, the term "CHANGE OF CONTROL" means: (i) a
transaction or series of related transactions that results in the sale or other

Retek that possess a majority of the voting power of all Retek's outstanding
stock and other securities and the power to elect a majority of the members of
Retek's board of directors; or (iii) a transaction or series of related
8
<PAGE> 9
transactions (which may include without limitation a tender offer for Retek's

of Retek immediately prior to the initial such transaction do not, immediately
after consummation of such transaction or any of such related transactions, own
stock or other securities of Retek that possess a majority of the voting power
of all Retek's outstanding stock and other securities and the power to elect a
majority of the members of Retek's board of directors. As used herein, the term
"CONTROL" (including, with correlative meanings, the terms, "CONTROLS"
"CONTROLLING", "CONTROLLED BY" or "UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH") with respect to a
designated person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to
vote a majority of the securities having voting power for the election of
directors (or other persons acting in similar capacities) of such person or
otherwise to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.

with the provisions of this Section. However, termination of this Agreement will
not terminate customer software licenses validly granted by Retek in accordance
with this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination of this
Agreement.
10.7 NONEXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Termination of this Agreement by either party
will be a nonexclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any
other right or remedy of such party.
10.8 NO DAMAGES FOR TERMINATION. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES FOR THE LOSS OF GOODWILL, PROSPECTIVE PROFITS OR
ANTICIPATED INCOME, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY EXPENDITURES, INVESTMENTS,
LEASES OR COMMITMENTS MADE BY EITHER PARTY ON ACCOUNT OF THE TERMINATION OR
EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS.

following Articles of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this
Agreement: Article 3 (Ownership), Article 4 (Royalties), Article 5 (Warranty
Disclaimer) Article 6 (Confidentiality), Article 7 (Injunctive Relief), Article

Agreement, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding and replacing any and all

WHEREAS, HNC's current intention is that, after the closing of
the Initial Public Offering, HNC may in its sole discretion elect to distribute
pro rata to HNC's stockholders, as a dividend, the remaining shares of common
stock of Retek which it holds after the closing of the Initial Public Offering
(the "Distribution") subject to the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in

Consolidated Group Returns by HNC on behalf of the Affiliated Group, including
Retek and the Retek Subgroup, for each Consolidated Return Year, and to any
applications for extensions of time to file such Returns which HNC in its sole
judgment shall make to the IRS. Retek hereby consents to the filing of Combined
Returns by HNC on behalf of the Unitary Group, including Retek and the Retek

days prior to the due date, including extensions, for filing such Tax return.

and other documents which may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of
HNC, to evidence Retek's consent or to facilitate the preparing and filing of
such Returns and applications for extension of time to file such Returns. This
obligation applies to all Tax Returns for any Consolidated Return Year even if
such Return is filed after Retek is no longer a member of the Affiliated Group.
3. ALLOCATION AND PAYMENT OF LIABILITIES FOR TAXES
3.1 Federal Income Taxes for Periods Commencing on and after the
Effective Date. HNC (on behalf of itself and other members of the HNC Subgroup)
and Retek (on behalf of itself and other members of the Retek Subgroup) agree to
determine and allocate the federal income Tax liability of the Affiliated Group
among themselves in the following manner:
7
<PAGE> 8
(a) For each Taxable period commencing on or after the
Effective Date in which Retek and/or any other member of the Retek Subgroup is
included in the Affiliated Group, the Retek Subgroup shall be allocated, and
Retek shall pay to HNC as provided in this Section 3 and in Section 4 an amount
equal to, the federal income Tax liability, if any (including any alternative
minimum Tax), of Retek and/or the other member(s) of the Retek Subgroup included
in the Affiliated Group, as determined by HNC in accordance with the methods set
forth in this Section 3.1. Such federal Tax liability shall equal the
hypothetical separate return Tax liability of the Retek Subgroup, as determined
in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section
1.1552-1(a)(2)(ii) (treating references to a "member" therein as references to
the Retek Subgroup, and including the adjustments under clauses (a)-(i) thereof)
as if the Retek Subgroup had filed a separate consolidated federal income Tax
Return. If the Retek Subgroup's federal Tax liability as so determined is zero,
then HNC shall pay to Retek an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the HNC
Subgroup's federal income Tax liability, determined as if the HNC Subgroup had
filed a separate consolidated federal income Tax Return for such Taxable period
or portion thereof (and any Taxable year of the HNC Subgroup to which a net
operating loss or other Tax item of the Retek Subgroup is carried) under the
same principles as set forth in the preceding sentence, over the actual federal
income Tax liability of the Affiliated Group for such Taxable period or portion
thereof (or such year to which such item is carried).
(b) For purposes of determining and allocating Tax liabilities
and payment obligations for Tax periods commencing on or after the Effective
Date, (i) the Retek Subgroup's federal and state income Tax liability will be
computed by HNC in a manner consistent with HNC's policies and procedures for
accounting for income taxes for financial statement purposes; (ii) the benefit
of the graduated Tax rates provided under Section 11 of the Code and any
alternative minimum Tax exemption amount under Section 55 of the Code shall be
allocated to the Retek Subgroup in proportion to the ratio of the Retek
Subgroup's federal Tax liability to the total federal Tax liability of the
Affiliated Group (computed without regard to such benefit); and (iii) items not
otherwise specifically addressed hereunder shall be allocated between the Retek
Subgroup and the HNC Subgroup by HNC in a manner that reasonably reflects the
provisions, purposes and intent of this Agreement.
(c) The Retek Subgroup's federal income Tax liability for the
Taxable year during which Retek ceases to be a member of the Affiliated Group
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Section
1.1502-76(b)(2) by closing the books of Retek and the other members of the Retek
Subgroup as of the end of the last day of the Consolidated Return Year and
taking into account only items accruing during the portion of the Taxable year
ending on such date in computing such liability. Items shall not be pro-rated in
8
<PAGE> 9
accordance with clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) of the
Regulations except to the extent HNC in its discretion determines that it is
impracticable to allocate particular items in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
(d) The parties acknowledge that the allocation of federal Tax
liability provided for by this Section 3.1 is for purposes of determining the
parties' actual payment obligations to each other with respect to Taxes of the
Affiliated Group for the Consolidated Return Year and not for purposes of
computing earnings and profits pursuant to Section 1552 of the Code. HNC and
Retek each recognizes that such allocation may differ from the allocation
provided by Section 1552 for earnings and profits purposes.
(e) It is acknowledged that allocation of the consolidated
federal income Tax liability for the Affiliated Group under Section 1.1552-1(a)
of the Regulations shall (in accordance with Section 1.1552-1(b)(2) of the
Regulations), in the amount allocated to each member of the HNC Subgroup and the
Retek Subgroup, decrease the earnings and profits of such member and be treated
as a liability of such member for such amount. It is further acknowledged that
if allocations of federal income Tax liability in accordance with Section 3.1 of
this Agreement differ from the allocations in accordance with Section
1.1552-1(a)(1), HNC and Retek hereby agree that such differences will not create
liabilities and receivables, but rather will be regarded as distributions with
respect to stock, contributions to capital, or combinations thereof, as
applicable.
3.2 State Income and Franchise Taxes for Periods Commencing on or
after the Effective Date.
(a) For each Taxable period commencing on or after the
Effective Date for which Retek and/or any other member of the Retek Subgroup is
included in any Combined Return filed by the Unitary Group, the Retek Subgroup
shall be allocated, and Retek shall pay to HNC in accordance with this Section
3.2 and Section 4 an amount equal to, the state income Tax liability of Retek
and/or such other Retek Subgroup members that are so included, as determined
under this Section 3.2. Such state income Tax liability shall equal the
hypothetical state income Tax liability of the Retek Subgroup members so
included, computed as if they filed a Combined Return (or if only one such
member is so included, a separate state income or franchise Tax return )
including only such included member(s). To the extent that the same or analogous
federal consolidated reporting principles as are referred to in Section 3.1
apply for purposes of filing such Combined Return(s), then such principles shall
also apply for purposes of determining the Retek Subgroup's state Tax liability
in respect of any Combined Return of the Unitary Group. If the state income Tax
liability of the Retek Subgroup as so determined is zero, then HNC shall pay to
9
<PAGE> 10
Retek an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the HNC Subgroup's state income
Tax liability, determined as if the HNC Subgroup had filed a separate Combined
Return not including any Retek Subgroup members, over the actual state income
Tax liability of the Unitary Group. HNC shall have the discretion to determine
each subgroup's liability for Taxes under this Section 3.2(a) in any manner that
is reasonable in light of the applicable state and local Tax reporting
principles and the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
(b) Retek shall be responsible for payment of any state Taxes
due from it or any members of the Retek Subgroup, and HNC shall be responsible
for payment of any state Taxes due from HNC or any member of the HNC Subgroup,
in connection with state income or franchise Returns that are not Combined
Returns. Retek shall be responsible for preparing and filing any state Tax
returns, other than Combined Returns, for itself and the Retek Subgroup.
(c) To the extent that HNC pays any Tax on behalf of any
member of the Retek Subgroup, Retek shall reimburse HNC with ten (10) days of
receipt of an invoice requesting payment thereof.
4. ESTIMATED PAYMENTS OF TAX SHARING LIABILITY
4.1 Hypothetical Tax Computation and Payment Thereof. At least three
(3) days prior to each Estimated Payment Date of each Consolidated Return Year,
HNC shall deliver to Retek hypothetical computations of estimated Tax for Retek
reflecting the amounts, if any, of the estimated payment of federal and/or state
income Taxes and franchise Taxes for such Consolidated Return Year, as
applicable, which Retek would have been required to pay on such Estimated
Payment Date if it were not included in the Affiliated Group or Unitary Group
(calculated in accordance with Article 3). Retek shall pay to HNC, on such
Estimated Payment Date, the amounts reflected as owing in such hypothetical
computations.
4.2 Extension Payments. Notwithstanding Section 4.1, if HNC shall
request an extension of time to file the Consolidated Group Return and/or the
Combined Return for any Consolidated Return Year, HNC shall compute the
hypothetical amounts of the federal or state income Tax payment, as applicable,
which would have been payable by Retek on such Extension Payment Date had Retek
requested such an extension and had Retek not been included in the Affiliated
Group or Unitary Group during such Consolidated Return Year (calculated in
accordance with Article 3). Retek shall pay to HNC, on such Extension Payment
Date, the amounts computed by HNC.
10
<PAGE> 11
4.3 Waiver. HNC, in its sole discretion, may waive on an annual basis
the requirement for Retek to make the estimated Tax payments as described in
this Section 4.
4.4 Date Consolidated Group and/or Combined Return Filed. HNC shall
compute the hypothetical amount of the federal, state and/or franchise Tax which
would have been payable by Retek on such actual filing date had Retek not been
included in the Affiliated Group or Unitary Group during such Consolidated
Return Year (calculated in accordance with Section 3). Retek shall pay to HNC
the amount computed, less the aggregate of any amounts previously paid on each
Estimated Payment Date and Extension Payment Date pursuant to this Section 4.
Retek shall pay HNC the computed amount owed within ten (10) days of the later
of (i) the date on which the Tax Return is filed, or (ii) receipt of an invoice
showing the computed amount owed. If the aggregate amounts paid by Retek on the
Estimated Payment Dates and Extension Payment Dates for a Consolidated Return
Year exceed the computed hypothetical federal, state and/or franchise Tax
payable by Retek, then HNC shall refund to Retek any such excess amount within
ten (10) days of filing the applicable Tax Return.
5. DISPUTES WITH TAXING AUTHORITIES
5.1 Confirmation of Authority. In the event of a Tax Contest with the
IRS or any other Taxing Authority concerning the amount of any Tax liability of
or refund due to the Affiliated Group or any member thereof for any Consolidated
Return Year, and in connection with every Group Refund Claim or other claim for
refund of Tax for any Consolidated Return Year, Retek hereby expressly confirms,
with respect to federal income Tax liability, the authority granted to HNC in
Regulations Section 1.1502-77 (and in any successor provision thereto) of the
Regulations to act on behalf of Retek and the Retek Subgroup notwithstanding
that Retek may be liable for additional tax or for additional payments to HNC.
With respect to such federal Taxes and all other Taxes, Retek hereby expressly
and irrevocably appoints HNC to be its sole agent and expressly relinquishes any
rights it may have to act for or represent itself in any manner in any such Tax
Contest or with respect to any such Group Refund Claim related to the time
period in which Retek and/or any member of the Retek Subgroup is a member of the
Affiliated Group. Retek hereby authorizes HNC and its representatives to pursue
such Tax Contest, Group Refund Claim, or other claim for refund of Tax either
administratively or by court action. Retek hereby irrevocably agrees that HNC
shall have the exclusive right, on behalf of Retek and the Retek Subgroup, to
make any and all decisions to pursue, settle, or appeal any Tax Contest, Group
Refund Claim or other claim for refund of Tax, and to control all administrative
and court proceedings and any and all negotiations and settlements related
thereto. Retek hereby expressly consents to HNC entering into settlements on its
behalf and on behalf of the Retek Subgroup, as
11
<PAGE> 12
HNC deems appropriate in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith; provided,
however, that prior to settling an issue that would give rise to Tax Adjustment
for which Retek or a member of the Retek Subgroup would be liable under this
Agreement, Retek shall have the right and opportunity to review such settlement.
HNC may, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, accept or reject any
suggestions made by Retek with respect to such settlement; provided, however,
that HNC shall not reject any suggestion made by Retek if to do so would be
unreasonable. Retek may assist in the defense of audit issues arising from its
operations, at its own expense, subject to the direction and control of HNC.
Retek shall reimburse HNC for all reasonable out-of pocket expenses (including,
with limitation, legal, consulting and accounting fees) in the course of a Tax
Contest regarding an item of the Retek Subgroup for any Taxable period during
which the Retek Subgroup was a member of the Affiliated Group to the extent such
expenses are reasonably attributable to such Tax Contest.
5.2 Agreement to Cooperate. Retek agrees to cooperate and cause the
Retek Subgroup to cooperate fully and in a timely manner with HNC in connection
with the preparation of Tax Returns, the pursuit of any Group Refund Claim or
other claim for refund of Taxes or the conduct of any Tax Contest for any
Consolidated Return Year, at Retek's own expense by taking any and all action
that may be necessary or helpful, as requested by HNC, including (without
limitation) furnishing to HNC access to and copies of all records and documents
and making personnel available for interviews and testimony. This agreement to
cooperate extends beyond the date after which Retek is no longer a member of the
Affiliated Group.
5.3 Adjustments.
(a) In the event there is an Adjustment, made pursuant to a
Final Determination, of an item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit with
respect to any Return of any member of the Affiliated Group for any Taxable
period during which Retek and/or any other member of the Retek Subgroup is or
was a member of the Affiliated Group:
(i) Retek shall be liable for, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless, as appropriate, any member of the HNC Subgroup, on
an After Tax Basis against any and all Retek Tax Adjustments;
(ii) Retek shall be entitled to any Retek Tax
Benefits on an After Tax Basis;
12
<PAGE> 13
(iii) HNC shall be liable for, and shall indemnify
and hold harmless, as appropriate, any member of the Retek Subgroup on an After
Tax Basis against any and all HNC Tax Adjustments; and
(iv) HNC shall be entitled to receive on an After
Tax Basis the amount of any HNC Tax Benefits.
(b) HNC and Retek shall share the amount of any Tax
Adjustment, other than a Restructuring Adjustment, if, and to the extent, each
party is liable for and/or has an obligation to make, or has the right to
receive, as the case may be, any indemnity payment, or other payment with
respect to such Tax Adjustment under Section 5.3(a), in proportion to the
amounts of the underlying Adjustments giving rise to such Tax Adjustment
attributable to the HNC Subgroup and the Retek Subgroup respectively.
(c) HNC and Retek shall share the amount of any Tax
Adjustment, other than a Restructuring Adjustment, not covered by Section 5.3(a)
or Section 5.3(b) above in proportion to the amounts of the underlying
Adjustments related to such Tax Adjustment attributable to the HNC Subgroup and
the Retek Subgroup respectively.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Retek shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, as
appropriate, any member of the HNC Subgroup on an After Tax Basis against any
and all Restructuring Adjustments arising out of, or in connection with, the
Separation or the Initial Public Offering.
(e) The indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall
supplement the indemnification provisions of the Separation Agreement. In
particular, the Separation Agreement provides for indemnification with respect
to any Restructuring Adjustment arising out of, or in connection with, the
Distribution. To the extent there is any conflict between the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement and the indemnification provisions of the
Separation Agreement, the indemnification provisions of the Separation Agreement
shall control.
(f) Indemnity payments and other amounts required to be paid
under Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b) 5.3(c) and 5.3(d) shall be paid within 60 days of
the date of such Final Determination. HNC shall provide Retek with prompt
written notice of each such Final Determination.
13
<PAGE> 14
6. DISTRIBUTION TAXES AND TAX ATTRIBUTE CARRYOVERS
6.1 Taxes Relating to the Distribution. Notwithstanding any statement
herein to the contrary, any Taxes relating to or arising out of the Distribution
shall be governed by Article V of the Separation Agreement.
6.2 Carryforward Tax Attributes. The Carryforward Tax Attributes
available to Retek for Separate Return Periods will be determined by allocating
the Carryforward Tax Attributes of the HNC Group to tax periods beginning after
the Distribution Date among the HNC Subgroup and Retek Subgroup as described
below:
(a) Federal Tax Attributes. Any Carryforward Tax Attributes
allocable to Retek or a member of the Retek Subgroup shall remain with Retek or
such member. The portion, if any, of any HNC Group consolidated unused foreign
tax credit which is allocable to Retek shall be determined separately with
respect to each of the items of income listed in Section 904(d) of the Code.
(b) State or Local Income Tax Attributes. No tax attributes
arising from state or local Income Tax Returns shall be allocated to Retek,
unless under the provisions of applicable state law or state regulations such
tax attributes are expressly required to be allocated to Retek.
6.3 Carryback Items from Separate Return Tax Periods. With respect to
carrybacks of Retek or net operating losses, net capital losses, unused tax
credits and other deductible or creditable Tax attributes to a Consolidated
Period from a Separate Return Period which would be permitted under the Code and
the Regulations (or state law or state regulations), Retek shall make an
irrevocable election under Regulations Section 1.1502-21(b)(3)(i) (or comparable
state law or state regulations), to relinquish any carryback period which would
include the Consolidated Period. In cases where Retek cannot relinquish the
carryback period or, if the parties otherwise agree, HNC shall cooperate with
Retek in seeking Tax refunds from the appropriate Taxing Authority, at Retek's
expense, and Retek shall be entitled to such refund, including interest paid by
the Taxing Authority in connection with such refund; provided however, that
Retek shall indemnify and hold HNC harmless from and against any and all
collateral Tax consequences, including interest, resulting from or caused by the
carryback of deductible or creditable Tax attributes by Retek from a Separate
Return Period to a Consolidated Period, including but not limited to, Tax
attributes of HNC that expire unused (including Tax attributes that expire
during a Tax period subsequent to the Tax period during which the Retek Tax
attribute carried back was generated) and which would have been used but for
Retek's carryback. The amount of such indemnity shall be limited to the actual
Tax benefits to which HNC would
14
<PAGE> 15
have been entitled in the absence of the carryback of the deductible or
creditable Tax attribute of Retek. Retek shall have the right to review the
collateral Tax consequences being indemnified. The amount of the refund due to
Retek from HNC shall be reduced and offset by the amount of the indemnification,
if any.
6.4 Post-Consolidated Period Taxes.
(a) HNC shall indemnify and hold Retek and the Retek Subgroup
harmless for any Taxes relating to Tax Returns of HNC or the HNC Subgroup for
any Separate Return Period.
(b) Retek shall indemnify and hold HNC and the HNC Subgroup
harmless for any Taxes relating to Tax Returns of Retek or the Retek Subgroup
for any Separate Return Period.

11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of California
(irrespective of its choice of law principles) will govern the validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation and enforcement
of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.
11.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. Retek may not
assign, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of HNC, which consent
may be withheld in its sole discretion. HNC may assign its rights (but not its
obligations) under this Agreement without the consent of Retek; provided,
however, that the rights and obligations of HNC may be assigned, without the
consent of Retek, pursuant to a merger, exchange, recapitalization or other
reorganization to which HNC is a party or by operation of law. This Agreement
will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any member corporation which leaves

11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect
the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void
or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic,
business, Tax and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.
16

11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures of
all the parties reflected hereon as signatories.
11.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with
and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party,
and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other.
11.6 Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may
be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The
waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding
breach or default. Failure by either party, at any time, to require performance
by the other party or to claim a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
not be construed as a waiver of any right accruing under this Agreement, nor
shall it affect any subsequent breach or the effectiveness of this Agreement or
any part hereof, or prejudice either party with respect to any subsequent
action.
11.7 Expenses. Unless otherwise provided, all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement will be paid by the party incurring
such fees or expenses.
11.8 Attorneys' Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret

an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys' fees
to be fixed by the court (including, without limitation, costs, expenses and
fees on any appeal). The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs
of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.
11.9 Dispute Resolution. The parties shall attempt in good faith to
resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and shall
attempt in good faith to negotiate a settlement of any dispute pursuant to the
following process:
(a) Any party having a dispute or claim shall give the other
party written notice stating the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail.
Within ten (10) business days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party
shall submit to the other a written response also in reasonable
17
<PAGE> 18
detail. Within five (5) business days after delivery of the written response the
Chief Financial Officer (or other individual who has authority to settle the
controversy and who has direct responsibility for administration of the
relationships established pursuant to this Agreement) for each party shall meet
(in person or by telephone) at a mutually acceptable time and place (including
telephonic conference), and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem
necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for
information made by one party to the other shall be honored.
(b) If such matter has not been resolved within ten (10)
business days of the referral of the dispute to the Chief Financial Officers,
then the parties may pursue litigation or, if mutually agreed, alternative
dispute resolution mechanisms.
11.10 Notices. All notices and other communications pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to be sufficient if contained in a
written instrument and shall be deemed given if delivered personally,
telecopied, sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or mailed by
registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the
parties at the addresses indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (or
at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice). All
such notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been received (a)
in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (b) in the case
of a telecopy, when the party receiving such copy shall have confirmed receipt
of the communication, (c) in the case of delivery by nationally-recognized
overnight courier, on the business day following dispatch, and (d) in the case
of mailing, on the tenth business day following such mailing. Failure of a party
to provide notice in a prescribed time period or in a timely manner shall not
constitute a waiver of the other party's obligation hereunder. Where notice is a
condition to payment, the obligation to make the payment shall not be waived,
forgiven or eliminated by virtue of a failure to give notice; however, the time
period in which an amount must be paid shall be measured from the date on which
notice is actually given.
11.11 Representation by Counsel. Each of the parties hereto is
represented by separate counsel of its own choosing. Each of the parties hereto
has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive advice from its counsel
regarding the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been
negotiated by the respective parties hereto and their attorneys and the language
hereof will not be construed for or against either party, notwithstanding that
as of the date hereof Retek is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC.
11.12 Construction of Agreement. A reference to a Section will mean a
Section in this Agreement unless otherwise explicitly set forth. The titles and
headings herein are for reference
18

purposes only and will not in any manner limit the construction of this
Agreement which will be considered as a whole.

other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements
and to give such further written assurances as may be reasonably requested by
any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions contemplated hereby and
to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 2.5
SERVICES AGREEMENT
This SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
effective as of November 23, 1999 (the "Effective Date") by and among HNC
Software Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HNC"), on the one hand, and Retek Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Retek") and Retek Information Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("RIS"), on the other hand.
RECITALS
A. Retek is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC and receives
administrative and other services from HNC. RIS is also a wholly-owned
subsidiary of HNC.
B. Retek is considering carrying out an initial public offering of
shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Public Offering").
C. After the final closing of the Public Offering, HNC will own
approximately 86.3% of the outstanding shares of Retek's Common Stock (the
"Retained Shares") and, pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement dated as
even date herewith (the "Separation Agreement") among HNC, Retek and RIS, HNC
will contribute to Retek all shares of RIS's outstanding stock held by HNC so
that RIS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Retek. Unless otherwise
defined herein, defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Separation Agreement.
D. After the Public Offering, Retek and RIS desire to continue to
obtain administrative and other services from HNC, and HNC desires to continue
to provide such services, durings the term of this Agreement on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, HNC and Retek, for
themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: SERVICES
1.1 Services Provided. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, HNC agrees to provide to Retek and
RIS the services described in Exhibit A to this Agreement (collectively, the
"Services").
1.2 Business Insurance Coverage. During the term of this Agreement,
HNC, as part of its Risk Management services, will use good faith efforts to
extend coverage to Retek and RIS
-1-
<PAGE> 2
under HNC's insurance policies for those (and only those) types of insurance
coverage that are expressly listed in Exhibit B to this Agreement (the
"Insurance Coverage") by adding (or maintaining) Retek and RIS as named insureds
under the policy or policies in question and advancing the applicable premiums
necessary to extend such insurance coverage to Retek and RIS. RIS will be solely
responsible for providing its own directors' and officers' liability insurance
coverage ("D&O Coverage"), which D&O coverage shall be in addition to the D&O
Coverage to be maintained by HNC under its Risk Management services hereunder as
provided above and shall be maintained at not less than the following minimum
coverage levels: $15,000,000.
1.3 Additional Services. In the event that Retek or RIS requires
services which exceed the scope or extent of the Services HNC has agreed to
provide to Retek under this Agreement, and if HNC in its sole discretion agrees
in writing to provide such services to Retek or RIS, then HNC and Retek, shall
negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the fee payable by Retek hereunder;
provided, however, that the fee or fees charged to Retek for such services shall
be no less favorable to Retek than the charges for comparable services from
unaffiliated third parties.
ARTICLE II: BILLING AND PAYMENT.
2.1 Fees for Services. Retek shall pay to HNC a fee for each of the
Services provided by HNC to Retek and/or RIS hereunder, the amount of which fee
shall be calculated in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part 2 of
Exhibit A ("Fees for Services") corresponding to such Services. In addition,
Retek shall pay to HNC a fee for the Insurance Coverage calculated in accordance
with the provisions of Exhibit B.
2.2 Billing. On a monthly basis, HNC shall submit to Retek for payment
a billing invoice setting forth HNC's good faith estimate of the amount of fees
payable by Retek to HNC for Services rendered during the preceding month and/or
business insurance premiums allocable to the preceding month (with such
estimates to be based on the methods used to compute such charges in Part 2 of
Exhibit A and in Exhibit B). HNC, at its option, may also invoice Retek for any
costs paid by HNC to third-parties in the course of providing any Services
("Third-Party Costs") or any premiums relating to the Insurance Coverage
immediately upon payment of such Third-Party Costs or premiums by HNC. Within
thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter, HNC will compute and
reconcile the actual amounts of fees and premiums payable by Retek to HNC in
respect of such calendar quarter (the "Actual Quarter's Charge") against the sum
of the estimated amounts previously invoiced to Retek by HNC in respect of each
calendar month occurring within such calendar quarter (the "Estimated Quarter's
Charge") and will send Retek a statement of such computation and reconciliation
(the "Quarterly Statement"). The parties agree that if (a) the Actual Quarter's
Charge for such calendar quarter is greater than the Estimated Quarter's Charge
for such calendar quarter, then Retek shall pay such difference (the "Quarterly
Shortfall") to HNC within fifteen (15) days after HNC sends the Quarterly
Statement for such calendar quarter to Retek; and (b) if the Estimated Quarter's
Charge for such calendar quarter is greater than the Actual Quarter's Charge for
such calendar quarter, then HNC shall reimburse Retek for the amount of such
difference within fifteen (15) days after HNC sends the
-2-
<PAGE> 3
Quarterly Statement for such calendar quarter to Retek, subject to HNC's right
to offset as a credit any amounts previously invoiced by HNC to Retek under this
Section 2.2 and not yet paid to HNC.
2.3 Payment. Retek shall pay in full to HNC the amount due as stated on
each HNC invoice within thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice;
provided that Retek shall pay in full the amount of any Third-Party Costs or
premiums for Insurance Coverage billed to Retek on any HNC invoice within ten
(10) days of the date of such invoice; and provided further that Retek shall pay
any quarterly any Quarterly Shortfall to HNC within fifteen (15) days after HNC
issues Retek an invoice for such Quarterly Shortfall as provided in Section 2.2.
In addition, Retek agrees with HNC to promptly and timely pay any insurance
premiums for an HNC group insurance policy that are billed directly to Retek, in
time to avoid any default or breach of such policy and any late charges or other
penalties.
2.4 Taxes. In addition to the payments to be made by Retek under this
Article II, Retek will pay all taxes, including without limitation sales and use
taxes and value added taxes, if imposed by any government as a result of Retek's
payment to HNC of any of the fees and costs payable by Retek hereunder.
2.5 RIS Guarantee. Retek shall be primarily liable for the payment of
all amounts payable to HNC under this Agreement, but RIS hereby guarantees and
promises to pay HNC in full, upon HNC's demand, the full amount of any and all
payments that are due and payable by Retek to HNC under this Agreement that have
not been paid in full when due, without any right of offset or counterclaim.
ARTICLE III : TERM AND TERMINATION
3.1 Initial Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on
the date hereof and shall continue for a period ending on the earlier of (a) one
(1) year after the Effective Date; (b) the last day of the first calendar month
during which HNC owns less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting
stock of Retek; or (c) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4.
3.2 No Voluntary Termination of Certain Services. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.1 or Section 3.4, all Services relating to the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and tracking of fixed assets
and inventory (a) may not be terminated by Retek so long as HNC is required to
consolidate its financial statements with Retek in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and (b) will terminate only when HNC is
no longer required to consolidate its financial statements with Retek in
accordance with GAAP.
3.3 Discontinuation of Services.
3.3.1 By Retek. Except as provided in Section 3.2, Retek may
elect (on behalf of itself and RIS) to discontinue receiving any Service
(including but not limited to any employee benefit) or any Insurance Coverage to
be provided by HNC hereunder by providing HNC at least thirty (30) days' advance
written notice of Retek's election to discontinue such
-3-
<PAGE> 4
Services or Insurance Coverage and paying HNC any accrued but unpaid sums for
any Service commenced or partially or fully performed by HNC, or any insurance
premium paid by HNC hereunder, for which Retek has not previously paid HNC in
full. Neither Retek nor RIS will not be entitled to any rebate or refund of sums
it previously paid to HNC under this Agreement as a result of any such
discontinuation by Retek.
3.3.2 By HNC. Without incurring any liability to Retek
whatsoever, HNC may, prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement:
(a) discontinue providing Retek any Insurance Coverage
that HNC discontinues carrying for itself and does not replace with similar
Insurance Coverage for itself during the term of this Agreement, by providing
Retek at least sixty (60) days' advance written notice of the discontinuance of
such Insurance Coverage;
(b) discontinue providing any employee group insurance
or other employee benefit plan coverage that HNC is providing or extending to
Retek employees under this Agreement: (i) if such employee group insurance or
other employee benefit plan is substantially similar in nature, or is
substantially replaced or duplicated by, an employee group insurance plan or
plans or other employee benefit plan or plans adopted by Retek; (ii) if HNC is
no longer permitted, whether by applicable laws or regulations or by the terms
of such employee group insurance or employee benefit plan, to provide or extend
such employee group insurance or employee benefit plan to Retek employees; or
(iii) if Retek is required, by applicable laws or regulations, to adopt and
provide employee group insurance coverage or an employee benefit plan that is
substantially similar to such employee group insurance or other employee benefit
plan coverage; and/or
(c) change or modify any employee group insurance or
other employee benefit plan coverage that HNC is providing or extending to Retek
employees under this Agreement provided HNC makes such change or modification
generally with respect to its employees.
3.4 Default and Remedies; Termination.
3.4.1 Event of Default. A party to this Agreement will be in
default hereunder if (a) such party commits a material breach of any term or
condition of this Agreement and such breach continues uncured for thirty (30)
days (or ten (10) days in the case of a failure by Retek to pay HNC any sums
payable to HNC when due under this Agreement) following receipt of written
notice of such breach from the other party.
3.4.2 Remedies. In the event of a default by Retek hereunder,
HNC may exercise any or all of the following remedies: (a) declare immediately
due and payable all sums for which Retek and/or RIS is liable under this
Agreement; (b) decline to provide any Service or Services or Insurance Coverage
hereunder; and/or (c) terminate this Agreement. In the event of any default by
HNC hereunder, Retek may terminate this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing,
a non-defaulting party will have all other rights and remedies available at law
or equity.
-4-
<PAGE> 5
3.4.3 Termination on Notice. Except as provided in Section
3.2, this Agreement may be terminated (in addition to a termination pursuant to
Section 3.4.1 or Section 3.4.2) at any time at the option of either HNC or Retek
upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice of termination given to the other in
accordance with this Agreement.
3.4.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement
will not effect or terminate the effectiveness of the provisions of Sections 3.2
or 4.2, which shall survive termination of this Agreement and remain in effect
thereafter.
ARTICLE IV: RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS
4.1 Record Retention.
(a) HNC shall maintain accurate records and accounts of all
transactions relating to its performance of the Services pursuant to this
Agreement. Such records and accounts shall reflect such information as would
normally and reasonably be examined by an independent accountant in performing a
complete audit in accordance with GAAP for the purpose of certifying financial
statements and shall be maintained by HNC in a manner that will enable an
independent accountant to complete an audit of Retek in accordance with GAAP.
Retek shall have the right to inspect and copy, at its expense upon reasonable
notice and at reasonable intervals during HNC's regular office hours, the
separate records and accounts maintained by HNC relating to the Services,
provided that such records shall be Confidential Information of HNC and shall be
held in confidence by Retek as provided in Section 8.2 hereof.
(b) Retek shall maintain, in accordance with HNC's record
retention policy, accurate records and accounts of all transactions relating to
the provision of Services under this Agreement and all records, books,
contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information
(collectively, "Information") insofar as such Information may be reasonably
required by HNC to comply with all applicable federal, state, county and local
laws, administrative or court orders, ordinances, regulations and codes,
including but not limited to ERISA and securities laws. Without limiting the
foregoing, Information may be requested under this Section 4.1(b) for audit,
accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation and tax purposes, as well as for
purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations and for performing
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.2 HNC Oversight of Retek Accounting. So long as HNC is required to
consolidate its financial statements with Retek under GAAP, HNC shall have the
right to oversee and review Retek's accounting policies and practices and Retek
will not change its accounting policies or practices without the prior written
approval of HNC, which approval may be withheld in HNC's sole discretion, unless
Retek's independent accountants advise Retek that its accounting policies and
practices must be changed to conform with GAAP or are necessary in order to
improve Retek's internal accounting controls. Retek shall provide HNC with
Retek's financial accounting statements and other reports reasonably requested
for each month, quarter and annual fiscal period on a timely basis according to
the schedules announced by HNC for the completion of financial accounting
statements in order to enable HNC to timely produce its own consolidated
financial statements.

5.1 Limitations on HNC's Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, HNC may, at its sole discretion, decline to provide any Service
hereunder if: (a) facilities or personnel of HNC are not reasonably available to
provide such Service; (b) providing such Service requested by Retek or RIS would
materially interfere with HNC's conduct of its business; or (c) in HNC's good
faith judgment based upon the advice of its tax advisors, HNC's providing such
Service could result in significant tax disadvantages for HNC, could conflict
with any applicable law, regulation or ordinance or could result in a conflict
of interest.

HNC's sole discretion, be provided by employees or service providers of HNC or
any of its subsidiaries (other than Retek), HNC shall remain responsible, in

causes to be so provided.
5.3 Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, HNC may,
at any time and in its sole discretion, change in any reasonable respect the

5.4 Rights of HNC. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict
the right of HNC or any of HNC's directors, officers or employees, agents,
subsidiaries or affiliates to engage in any other business or devote their time
and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business,
whether of a similar nature, or to limit or restrict the right of HNC to engage
in any other business or to render services of any kind to any entity.

6.3 Independent Contractors. The parties will operate as, and have the
status of, independent contractors and will not act as or be an agent, partner,
co-venturer or employee of the other party. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, neither party will have the right or authority to assume or create

7.1 Alternative Services. It is acknowledged that from time to time
Retek or RIS may find it necessary or desirable either to enter into agreements
covering services of the type contemplated by this Agreement to be provided by
parties other than HNC or to enter into other agreements with other parties
covering Services or functions to be performed by HNC hereunder. Except as
provided in Section 3.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit in
any way the right of Retek or RIS to acquire such Services from others or to
enter into such other agreements; provided that in no such event shall the fees
to be paid to HNC pursuant to Section 2 hereof be reduced on account thereof
unless this Agreement is terminated, or the applicable Services are discontinued

ARTICLE II: OPTIONS
2.1. Options.
(a) Retek hereby grants to HNC, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein, a continuing right (the "Option") to purchase from Retek from time to
time such number of shares of the Common Stock as is necessary to allow the HNC
Entities to maintain the Minimum Ownership Percentage of the Capital Stock of
Retek. The Option shall be assignable, in whole or in part and from time to
time, by HNC to any HNC Entity. The exercise price for the shares of Common
Stock purchased pursuant to the Option shall be the Market Price of the Common
Stock as of the date of first delivery of the applicable notice of exercise of
the Option by HNC (or its permitted assignee hereunder) to Retek. The exercise
price of the Option will be payable in cash as provided in Section 2.3.
(b) The provisions of Section 2.1(a) hereof notwithstanding, the
Option granted pursuant to Section 2.1 shall not apply and shall not be
exercisable in connection with the issuance by Retek of any shares of Common
Stock pursuant to any stock option or other executive or
5
<PAGE> 6
employee benefit or compensation plan maintained by Retek, so long as, from and
after the Effective Date and prior to the issuance of such shares, Retek has
repurchased from stockholders and not subsequently reissued a number of shares
equal or greater to the number of shares to be issued in any such issuance.
2.2. Notice. At least twenty (20) business days prior to the earlier of (a)
the issuance of any shares of Capital Stock (other than in connection with the
Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of all underwriters'
over-allotment options and other than issuances of Capital Stock to any HNC
Entity), or (b) the first date on which any event could occur that, in the
absence of a full or partial exercise of the Option, would result in an HNC
Ownership Reduction, Retek will notify HNC in writing (an "Option Notice") of
any plans it has to issue such shares and the date on which such event could
first occur. Each Option Notice must specify (a) the date on which Retek intends
to issue such additional shares or on which such event could first occur (such
issuance or event being referred to herein as an "Issuance Event" and the date
of such issuance or event as an "Issuance Event Date"), (b) the number of shares
Retek intends to issue or may issue and, (c) the other terms and conditions of
such Issuance Event.
2.3. Option Exercise and Payment. The Option may be exercised by HNC (or
any HNC Entity to which all or any part of the Option has been assigned) for a
number of shares equal to or less than the number of shares that are necessary
for the HNC Entities to maintain, in the aggregate, the Minimum Ownership
Percentage. Each Option may be exercised at any time after the delivery of an
Option Notice and prior to an Issuance Event Date by the delivery to Retek by
HNC or any HNC entity of a written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to such effect
specifying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by HNC or
any of the HNC Entities upon such exercise of the Option and (ii) a calculation
of the exercise price for such shares. Upon any such exercise of the Option,
Retek will, prior to the Issuance Event Date, deliver to HNC (or any HNC Entity
who is exercising the Option or who is designated by HNC), against payment
therefor, certificates (issued in the name of HNC or its permitted assignee
hereunder or as directed by HNC) representing the shares of Common Stock being
purchased upon such exercise. If after the receipt of an Option Notice and prior
to the corresponding Issuance Event Date, HNC delivers to Retek an Exercise
Notice, Retek shall deliver the certificates for the shares of Common Stock
being purchased prior to the applicable Issuance Event Date. Payment for such
shares shall be made, on the date of delivery of such certificates, by wire
transfer or intrabank transfer of immediately-available funds to such account as
shall be specified by Retek, for the full purchase price for such shares.
2.4. Effect of Failure to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 2.6, any
failure by HNC to exercise the Option in full shall not affect HNC's right to
thereafter exercise the Option at any time in the future.
2.5. Initial Public Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HNC shall not
be entitled to exercise the Option in connection with the Initial Public
Offering of the Common Stock by Retek if, upon the completion of the Initial
Public Offering, including the full exercise of all underwriters' over-allotment
options, HNC owns at least the Minimum Ownership Percentage (without regard to
clause (i)(c) of the definition of the Minimum Ownership Percentage).
6
<PAGE> 7
2.6. Termination of Option . The Option shall terminate upon the
occurrence of any Issuance Event that results in HNC's Ownership Percentage
being less than fifty percent (50%), other than any Issuance Event consummated
in violation of this Agreement. Any portion of the Option assigned to any HNC
Entity other than HNC, also shall terminate in the event that the Person to whom
such portion of the Option has been transferred, ceases to be a HNC Entity for
any reason whatsoever. If Retek fails to deliver any Option Notice on a timely
basis as required by Section 2.2, then the Option shall remain exercisable with
respect to the Issuance Event that triggered such right to exercise the Option
until such time as an Option Notice is provided to HNC and twenty (20) business
days elapse after HNC's receipt of such Option Notice without exercise of the
Option.
ARTICLE III: REGISTRATION RIGHTS
3.1. Demand Registration - Registrable Securities.
(a) Upon written notice provided to Retek at any time after the
Initial Public Offering Date from any Holder of Registrable Securities
requesting that Retek effect the registration under the Securities Act of any or
all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder, which notice shall
specify the intended method or methods of disposition of such Registrable
Securities and whether the Holders wish such registration to be a Rule 415
Offering (the "Demand Notice"), Retek shall use its best efforts to promptly
effect the registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws of such Registrable Securities for disposition in accordance with the
intended method or methods of disposition stated in such Demand Notice
(including in a Rule 415 Offering, if Retek is then eligible to register such
Registrable Securities on Form S-3, or a successor form, for such offering);
provided that:
(i) with respect to any registration statement filed, or to
be filed, pursuant to this Section 3.1, if Retek shall furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities that have made such request (within three (3) business
days after Retek's receipt of the Demand Notice) a certified resolution of the
Board of Directors of Retek (adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the directors not designated by the HNC Entities) stating that in the Board of
Directors' good faith judgment it would be significantly disadvantageous to
Retek, because of the existence of, or in anticipation of, any acquisition or
financing activity, or the unavailability, for reasons beyond Retek's reasonable
control, of any financial statements required to effect such requested
registration, or any other event or condition of similar significance to Retek
(a "Disadvantageous Condition"), for such a registration statement to be
maintained effective, or to be filed and become effective at such time, and
setting forth the general reasons for such judgment, then, (a) in the event no
registration statement has yet been filed, Retek shall be entitled not to file
any such registration statement, or (b) in the event a registration statement
covering the disposition of the Registrable Securities is then filed and
declared effective, the Holders will not sell Registrable Securities under such
registration statement until such Disadvantageous Condition no longer exists (at
which time Retek shall promptly deliver notice to such Holders that such
Disadvantageous Condition no longer exists). Upon receipt of any such notice of
a Disadvantageous Condition, such Holders shall forthwith discontinue use of the
prospectus contained in such registration statement and, if so directed by
Retek, each such Holder will deliver to Retek all copies (other than permanent
file copies then in such Holder's possession) of the prospectus then covering
such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such
7
<PAGE> 8
notice and Retek shall promptly amend such prospectus as necessary to enable the
Holders to sell their Registrable Securities under the registration statement at
any time that they are permitted to do so under the provisions of this
Agreement, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing of any such
registration statement may not be delayed, nor may sales or other dispositions
of Registrable Securities by Holders under a registration statement be
prevented, for a period in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days (or until such
earlier time as the Disadvantageous Condition no longer exists) due to the
occurrence of any particular Disadvantageous Condition and no more than one
resolution regarding Disadvantageous Conditions may be made by the Board of
Directors of Retek in any twelve (12) month period; and
(ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not have
the right to exercise registration rights pursuant to this Section 3.1 within
(A) the 180-day period following the effective date of the registration
statement for the Initial Public Offering or (B) the 60-day period following the
effective date of any subsequent registration pursuant to the exercise of the
registration rights provided in this Section 3.1 in which the Holders of
Registrable Securities were allowed to include ten percent (10%) of their
Registrable Securities;
(iii) the Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the
right to request that Retek effect a registration of their Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 on not more than two (2) separate
registrations during any twelve (12) month period, excluding any prior exercises
of such rights that are not deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section
3.1(b). The priority of exercise for such rights shall be allocated among the
Holders in such manner as the Holders may agree. If Registrable Securities
relating to different Request Notices delivered by more than one Holder are
registered under the same registration statement, such offering shall be deemed
to be a single exercise of demand rights by the first Holder to deliver a
Request Notice and the filing of only one registration statement for purposes of
this Section 3.1; and
(iv) the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to
be registered pursuant to any Demand Notice must have an anticipated aggregate
public offering price (before any underwriters' discounts or commissions) of at
least $5,000,000; and
(v) after the reduction in HNC's Ownership Percentage to
less than twenty percent (20%), the Holders of Registrable Securities may
collectively exercise their rights under this Section 3.1 (through notice
delivered by Holders owning in the aggregate a majority in economic interest of
the Registrable Securities then held by Holders) on not more than three (3)
occasions.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, a registration requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and,
therefore, not requested for purposes of paragraph (a) above), (i) unless it has
become effective, (ii) if after it has become effective such registration is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of
the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a
misrepresentation or an omission by such Holder, or is withdrawn by Retek
pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) or otherwise, and, as a result thereof, the
Registrable Securities requested to be registered cannot be completely
distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the related
registration statement or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the
purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into
8
<PAGE> 9
in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by
reason of some act or omission by such Holder of Registrable Securities.
(c) In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section
3.1 shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered shall have the right
to designate an underwriter or underwriters reasonably acceptable to Retek as
the lead or managing underwriters of such underwritten offering and, in
connection with each registration pursuant to this Section 3.1, such Holders may
select one counsel reasonably acceptable to Retek to represent all such Holders
in connection with such offering.
(d) Retek shall have the right to cause the registration of
additional equity securities for sale for its account, the account of any Retek
Entity or any existing or former directors, officers or employees of the Retek
Entities (the "Additional Securities") in any registration of Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to Section 3.1(a); provided,
however, that if the registration and sale of such Additional Securities would
require HNC or any HNC Entity to exercise the Option in order (i) to maintain
HNC's then-current Ownership Percentage or (ii) to enable the HNC Entities (in
the aggregate) to maintain ownership of the Minimum Ownership Percentage, then
the number of such Additional Securities shall be reduced so that exercise of
the Option would not be necessary for HNC or any HNC Entity to maintain such
ownership levels and provided, further, that if such Holders are advised by a
nationally recognized investment banking or commercial banking firm selected by
such Holders and reasonably acceptable to Retek (which shall be the lead
underwriter or a managing underwriter in the case of an underwritten offering)
that, in such firm's good faith view, the inclusion of the Additional Securities
in such registration would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price,
timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
then proposed to be sold by any Holder, then all or part of the Additional
Securities shall be excluded from the registration. In the event that any
Additional Securities are included in the registration, the Holders of the
Registrable Securities to be offered may require that any Additional Securities
be subject to the same conditions as are applicable to the Registrable
Securities being sold in the offering. In the event that the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in a registration statement by
the Holders thereof exceeds the number which, in the good faith view of such
lead or managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the price,
timing, distribution or sale of securities in the offering, the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated pro
rata among the requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of
Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided that any number
of Registrable Securities in excess of a Holder's request may be reallocated
among the remaining requesting Holders in a like manner, or as may be otherwise
agreed in writing by the Holders).
Retek agrees that, if requested by a Selling Holder, it will not
effect any public sale or distribution of its securities of the same class
proposed to be registered by the Holders, or any securities convertible into the
same class, during the thirty (30) days before the commencement of, during, and
for a period of ninety (90) days after termination of, an offering effected by
the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.1, except: (i) as part of such offering
in accordance with this paragraph (d); (ii) in connection with any dividend
reinvestment plan, employee stock option, bonus, retirement or other
compensation plan or arrangement (other than secondary registrations for resales
pursuant to such plans or arrangements) of Retek; (iii) any public sale or
distribution,
9
<PAGE> 10
the registration statement for which was filed with the SEC before
the receipt of the notice from the requesting Holder or Holders pursuant to
Section 3.1 (otherwise than pursuant to a Rule 415 Offering); or (iv) upon
delivery by Retek of a written opinion addressed to the Selling Holder from a
nationally recognized investment banking firm jointly selected by Retek and the
Selling Holder, at Retek's expense, stating that, in the view of such firm, such
pubic sale and distribution by Retek could be effected without adversely
affecting the market price for the Registrable Securities.
3.2. Piggyback Registration.
In the event that Retek at any time after the Initial Public Offering Date
proposes to file a registration statement covering the issuance or sale of any
shares of Retek Common Stock, or any other equity securities or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of Retek (collectively,
including Common Stock, "Other Securities") under the Securities Act, whether or
not for sale for Retek's account in a manner that would permit the Registrable
Securities to be sold for cash under the Securities Act, then Retek shall, at
least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of such registration statement,
provide written notice to each Holder of Registrable Securities of its intention
to file a registration statement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
such notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to include in such
registration statement such number of Registrable Securities as any Holder may
request. Upon the written request of any Holder made within fifteen (15) days
after the receipt of Retek's notice (which request shall specify the number of
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of and the intended method of
distribution thereof), Retek shall use its best efforts to effect, in connection
with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the
Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to
have registered (to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance
with such intended method of disposition thereof) of the Registrable Securities
so requested to be registered); provided that:
(a) if, at any time after giving the Holders written notice of Retek's
intention to register any Other Securities and prior to the effective date of
the registration statement filed in connection therewith, the Board of Directors
of Retek shall determine for any reason not to register the Other Securities,
then Retek shall, after giving prompt written notice of such determination to
the Holders, be relieved of its obligation to register such Registrable
Securities in connection with the registration of the Other Securities. Any such
termination of a registration shall not preclude the Holders of Registrable
Securities from immediately requesting that such registration be effected as a
registration under Section 3.1 to the extent permitted thereunder;
(b) if the registration referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 3.2 is to be an underwritten registration on behalf of Retek, and a
nationally recognized investment banking or commercial banking firm selected by
Retek advises Retek in writing that, in such firm's good faith view, all or a
part of such Registrable Securities cannot be sold and the inclusion of all or a
part of such Registrable Securities in such registration would be likely to have
an adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and
sale of the Other Securities then contemplated, then Retek shall include in such
registration:
(i) first, all Other Securities Retek proposes to sell for its
own account ("Retek Securities");
10
<PAGE> 11
(ii) second, up to the full number of Registrable Securities held
by Holders that have been requested by such Holders to be included in
such registration ("Holder Securities") in excess of the number of
Retek Securities to be sold in such offering, which number of Holder
Securities, in the good faith view of such investment banking or
commercial banking firm, can be sold without adversely affecting such
offering of Retek Securities and (x) if such number is less than the
full number of such Holder Securities, such number shall be allocated
by HNC among such Holders and (y) in the event that such investment
banking or commercial banking firm advises that less than all of such
Holder Securities may be included in such offering, the Holders may
withdraw their request for registration of their Registrable
Securities in such offering under this Section 3.2 and ninety (90)
days subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement
relating to the Other Securities, the Holders may request that a
registration relating to the Holder Securities be effected under
Section 3.1 to the extent permitted thereunder; and
(iii) third, up to the full number of the Other Securities (other
than Retek Securities), if any, in excess of the number of Retek
Securities and Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering,
which number of such Other Securities, in the good faith view of such
investment banking firm, can be so sold without so adversely affecting
such offering of Retek Securities and Registrable Securities (and, if
such number is less than the full number of such Other Securities,
such number shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of such
Other Securities (other than Retek Securities) on the basis of the
number of securities requested to be included therein by each such
holder of such Other Securities);
(c) Retek shall not be required to effect any registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 3.2 incidental to the registration of
any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers,
subscription offers, dividend reinvestment plans or employee
benefit/compensation plans (other than secondary registrations for resales
pursuant to such plans); and
(d) no registration of Registrable Securities effected under this
Section 3.2 shall relieve Retek of its obligation to effect any registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1.
3.3. Expenses. Except as provided herein and except for underwriting
discounts and commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities sold by the
Holders, Retek shall pay all Registration Expenses with respect to a particular
offering (or proposed offering). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder and
Retek shall be responsible for its own internal administrative and similar
costs, which shall not constitute Registration Expenses.
3.4. Registration and Qualification. If and whenever Retek is required to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
as provided in Sections 3.1 or 3.2, Retek shall as promptly as practicable:
(a) prepare, file and use its best efforts to cause to become
effective a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the
Registrable Securities proposed to be
11
<PAGE> 12
offered; provided, that before filing any such registration statement, Retek
will furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such
registration (each a "Selling Holder"), counsel designated by the Selling
Holders and the underwriters, if any, copies of any such registration statement
(which registration statement shall be subject to review of such Selling
Holders, counsel and underwriters) and Retek shall consider in good faith
incorporating such changes in the registration statement as are reasonably
requested by the Selling Holders, their counsel and underwriters;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as
may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities until the earlier of (i) such time as all of such
Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement and (ii) the
expiration of six (6) months after such registration statement becomes effective
if the registration is effected on Form S-3 (or a comparable successor form
which permits the incorporation by reference of any subsequently filed periodic
reports under the Exchange Act or the expiration of the date that is three (3)
months after the date on which such registration statement becomes effective on
any other registration statement form; provided, that such six-month or
three-month period shall be extended for such number of days that equals the
number of days elapsing from (x) the date the written notice contemplated by
paragraph 3.4(g) below is given by Retek to (y) the date on which Retek delivers
to the Holders of Registrable Securities the supplement or amendment
contemplated by paragraph 3.4(g) below; and provided further, that Retek may
keep such registration statement effective for longer time periods if desired by
Retek;
(c) furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities and to any
underwriter of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed or original
copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the
prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary
prospectus and any summary or final prospectus), in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in
such registration statement or prospectus, and such other documents, as the
Holders of Registrable Securities or such underwriter may reasonably request,
and upon request a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other
correspondence to, or received from, the SEC or any other governmental agency,
stock exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system, self-regulatory body
or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities
exchange) relating to such offering;
(d) use its diligent and reasonable best efforts to register or
qualify all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under
the securities or blue sky laws of such U.S. jurisdictions as the Holders of
such Registrable Securities or any underwriter to such Registrable Securities
shall request, and use its diligent and reasonable best efforts to obtain all
appropriate registrations, permits and consents in connection therewith, and do
any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable
the Holders of Registrable Securities or any such underwriter to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of its Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement; provided, that Retek shall not for any such purpose be
required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any
12
<PAGE> 13
such jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified or to consent to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) in any underwritten offering use its diligent and reasonable best
efforts to furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such
registration (each, a "Selling Holder") and to any underwriter of such
Registrable Securities an opinion of independent counsel for Retek addressed to
each Selling Holder and dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement (if any) (or if such offering is not underwritten, dated the effective
date of the registration statement) covering such matters as are customarily
covered in opinions of issuer's counsel delivered to underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities and such other matters as the
Selling Holders may reasonably request;
(f) in any underwritten offering use its diligent and reasonable best
efforts to furnish to each Selling Holder a "cold comfort" letter addressed to
each Selling Holder and to any underwriter of such Registrable Securities signed
by the independent public accountants who have audited the financial statements
of Retek included in such registration statement, in each such case covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and
the prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in accountants'
letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities
and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements;
(g) as promptly as practicable, notify the Selling Holders in writing
(i) at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration pursuant to Section
3.1 or Section 3.2 is required to be delivered under the Securities 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 any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading and (ii) of any request by the SEC or any
other regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction for any amendment of or
supplement to any registration statement or other document relating to such
offering, and in either such case, at the request of the Selling Holders prepare
and furnish to the Selling Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement
to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading;
(h) enter into customary agreements (including if the method of
distribution is by means of an underwriting, an underwriting agreement in
customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order
to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities to be so
included in the registration statement;
(i) use its best efforts to list all such Registrable Securities
covered by such registration on each securities exchange and/or automated inter-
dealer quotation system on which a class of common equity securities of Retek is
then listed;
(j) to the extent reasonably requested by the lead or managing
underwriters, send appropriate officers of Retek to attend any "road shows"
scheduled in connection with any
13
<PAGE> 14
such registration, with all out-of-pocket costs and expense incurred by Retek or
such officers in connection with such attendance to be paid by Retek;
(k) furnish for delivery in connection with the closing of any
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration effected pursuant
to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 certificates bearing no legends and representing
ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold in such denominations as
shall be requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters; and
(l) notify each Selling Holder in writing, as soon as practicable
after Retek becomes aware that any registration statement under which such
Selling Holder may sell any Registrable Securities has ceased to be effective,
of the fact that such registration statement has ceased to be effective.
3.5. Underwriting; Due Diligence.
(a) If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration requested under this Article
III, Retek shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for
such offering, which agreement will contain such representations and warranties
by Retek and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in
underwriting agreements of Retek to the extent relevant and as are customarily
contained in underwriting agreements generally with respect to secondary
distributions to the extent relevant, including, without limitation,
indemnification and contribution provisions substantially to the effect and to
the extent provided in Section 3.6 and agreements as to the provision of
opinions of counsel and accountants' letters to the effect and to the extent
provided in Section 3.4(e) and Section 3.4(f). The Selling Holders on whose
behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters
shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement and the representations and
warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, Retek to and for the
benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Selling Holders. Such underwriting agreement shall also contain such
representations and warranties by such Selling Holders and such other terms and
provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect
to secondary distributions, when relevant, including, without limitation,
indemnification and contribution provisions substantially to the effect and to
the extent provided in Section 3.6.
(b) In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration
statement registering Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant
to this Article III, Retek shall give the Holders of such Registrable Securities
and the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, such
reasonable and customary access to its books and records and such opportunities
to discuss the business of Retek with its officers and the independent public
accountants who have certified the financial statements of Retek as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of such Holders and such underwriters or their
respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of
the Securities Act.
3.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities
made pursuant to this Article III, Retek agrees to indemnify and hold harmless,
to the extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, each underwriter of
Registrable Securities so offered and each Person, if any, who
14
<PAGE> 15
controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents of each of the
foregoing, jointly and severally, from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements),
claims and damages, each as incurred, to which they or any of them may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened,
insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims and damages (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified Person is a
party thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or
in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or in any offering
memorandum or other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such
Registrable Securities prepared by Retek or at its direction, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by
reference therein, or any 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 arising from or relating to any violation or alleged
violation of the Securities Act, any blue sky laws, securities laws or other
applicable laws of any state or country in which the Registrable Securities are
offered and relating to action required of, or inaction by, Retek in connection
with such offering; provided, however that Retek shall not be liable to any
Holder in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, cost, claim
or damage arises out of or relates to any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall have been made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information that relates to such Selling
Holder, if such information was furnished in writing to Retek by or on behalf of
such Selling Holder specifically for use in the registration statement (or in
any preliminary or final prospectus included therein), offering memorandum or
other offering document, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of any Selling Holder and shall survive the transfer of
such securities. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any
liability that Retek may otherwise have to each Selling Holder, other holder or
underwriter of the Registrable Securities or any controlling person of the
foregoing and the officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents of each
of the foregoing; provided, further, that, in the case of an offering with
respect to which a Selling Holder has designated the lead or managing
underwriters (or a Selling Holder is offering Registrable Securities directly,
without an underwriter), this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability,
cost, claim or damage arising out of or relating to any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any preliminary
prospectus if a copy of a final prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf
of any underwriter (or such Selling Holder or other holder, as the case may be)
legally required to deliver a final prospectus to such Person asserting such
loss, liability, cost, claim or damage at or prior to the written confirmation
of the sale of the Registrable Securities as required by the Securities Act and
such untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such final prospectus.
(b) In the case of each registered offering made pursuant to
this Agreement, each Selling Holder, by exercising its registration rights
hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Retek, each underwriter who
participates in such offering, each other Selling Holder or other holder with
securities included in such offering and each Person, if any, who controls
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriter, other Selling
Holder or other holder and the officers, directors, affiliates, employees and
agents of each of the foregoing, against any and all losses, liabilities, costs
(including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements), claims and controls
any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents of each of the foregoing,
jointly and severally, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs
(including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements), claims and
15
<PAGE> 16
damages, each as incurred, to which they or any of them may become subject,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened,
insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims and damages (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified Person is a
party thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement by such Selling Holder of a material fact contained in the
registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included
therein) or in any offering memorandum or other offering document relating to
the offering and sale of such Registrable Securities prepared by Retek or at its
direction, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission by
such Selling Holder or alleged omission by such Selling Holder of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement
of a material fact is contained in, or such material fact is omitted from,
information relating to such Selling Holder furnished to Retek in writing by or
on behalf of such Selling Holder specifically for use in such registration
statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein), offering
memorandum or other offering document, or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto; provided that the maximum liability of any Holder for any loss,
liability, cost, claim or damage pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall not
exceed the amount of the net proceeds, if any, obtained by the Holder upon the
sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to such offering. The
foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability which such Selling Holder
may otherwise have to Retek, or controlling persons and the officers, directors,
affiliates, employees, and agents of each of the foregoing; provided, however,
that, in the case of an offering made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
which Retek has designated the lead or managing underwriters (or Retek is
offering securities directly, without an underwriter), this indemnity does not
apply to any loss, liability, cost, claim, or damage arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission in any preliminary prospectus if a copy of a final prospectus was not
sent or given by or on behalf of any underwriter (or Retek, as the case may be)
legally required to provide a final prospectus to such Person asserting such
loss, liability, cost, claim or damage at or prior to the written confirmation
of the sale of the Registrable Securities as required by the Securities Act and
such untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such final prospectus.
(c) Each party indemnified under paragraph (a) or (b) above
(an "Indemnified Party") shall, promptly after receipt of notice of a claim or
action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder, notify the party required to provide indemnification hereunder
(an "Indemnifying Party") in writing of the claim or action; provided, that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability
that it may have to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.6 (except that the
failure to notify an Indemnifying Party promptly of the commencement of any such
action, to the extent materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party's ability
to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability
only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced with respect to its
indemnification obligations under this Section 3.6). If any such claim or action
shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall have notified the
Indemnifying Party thereof, unless in such Indemnified Party's good faith
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and
Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes,
jointly with any other similarly notified Indemnifying Party, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (who
shall not, except with the consent of the
16
<PAGE> 17
Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party). After notice from the
Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action using counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified
Party under this Section 3.6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that, any Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of any such claim or action, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person, unless
(i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and
employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Person, or (iii) in the reasonable
good faith judgment of any such Person based on advice of its counsel, a
conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the Indemnifying Party
with respect to such claims or actions (in which case, if such Person notifies
the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such claim or action on behalf of
such Person). If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to or does not assume
the defense of such claim or action, it is understood that the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but
substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to
one separate firm of local attorneys in each such jurisdiction) at any time for
all such Indemnified Parties. Any Indemnifying Party against whom indemnity may
be sought under this Section 3.6 shall not be liable to indemnify an Indemnified
Party if such Indemnified Party settles such claim or action without the consent
of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.6
shall for any reason be unavailable (other than in accordance with its terms) to
an Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, liability, cost, claim or damage
referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits
received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on
the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed to give the
notice required under paragraph 3.6(c) above, the relative benefits to and the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified
Party on the other hand with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be in the same
respective proportion as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) of the
offering received by such party (or, in the case of an underwriter, such
underwriter's discounts and commissions) bear to the aggregate offering price of
the Registrable Securities or Other Securities. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand or the
Indemnified Party on the other hand, the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission, but not by reference to any Indemnified Party's stock ownership in
Retek. The amount paid or payable by an
17
<PAGE> 18
Indemnified Party as a result of the loss, cost, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, referred to above in this paragraph 3.6(d) shall be
deemed to include, for purposes of this paragraph (d), any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediate preceding paragraph.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 3.6 (with appropriate modifications) shall
be given by Retek and the Selling Holders with respect to any required
registration or other qualification of securities under any state law or
regulation or governmental authority.
(f) The obligations of the parties under this Section 3.6 shall be in
addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.
3.7. Rule 144 and Form S-3. Commencing ninety (90) days after the Initial
Public Offering Date, Retek shall use its best efforts to ensure that the
conditions to the availability of Rule 144 set forth in paragraph (c) thereof
shall be satisfied. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities,
Retek will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. Retek further agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to cause all conditions to the availability of Form S-3 (or any
successor form) under the Securities Act of the filing of registration
statements under this Agreement to be met as soon as practicable after the
Initial Public Offering Date.
3.8. Transfer of Registration Rights. Any Holder may transfer all or any
portion of its rights under this Article III to any transferee of a number of
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder exceeding five percent (5%) of the
outstanding class or series of such securities at the time of transfer (each
transferee that receives such minimum number of Registrable Securities, a
"Transferee"); provided, that each Transferee of Registrable Securities (other
than HNC Entities) to which Registrable Securities are transferred, sold or
assigned directly by a HNC Entity (such Transferee, an "HNC Transferee")
together with any Affiliate of such HNC Transferee (and any subsequent direct or
indirect Transferees of Registrable Securities from such HNC Transferee and any
Affiliates thereof) shall be entitled to request the registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 only once prior to a reduction in HNC's
Ownership Percentage to less than fifty percent (50%) and thereafter shall only
be entitled to request the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 3.2; provided further, that no HNC Transferee shall be entitled to
request registration pursuant to Section 3.1 for an amount of Registrable
Securities equal to less than $5,000,000; and provided further, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, HNC shall not transfer any of its rights under
this Article III to any stockholder of HNC in connection with the transfer of
Registrable Securities to such stockholder in the Distribution. Any transfer of
registration rights pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be effective upon receipt
by Retek of (i) written notice from such Holder stating the name and address of
any Transferee and
18
<PAGE> 19
identifying the number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the
rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the nature of the rights
so transferred and (ii) a written agreement from such Transferee to be bound by
the terms of this Agreement. The Holders may exercise their rights hereunder in
such priority as they shall agree upon among themselves.
3.9. Market Standoff Agreement. If any registration pursuant to this
Article III shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering of
Registrable Securities, each Selling Holder agrees not to effect any public sale
or distribution, including any sale under Rule 144, of any equity security of
Retek or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
equity security of Retek, in the case of Registrable Securities (otherwise than
through the registered public offering then being made), within seven (7) days
(after the receipt of satisfactory notice from Retek) prior to or ninety (90)
days (or such lesser period as the lead or managing underwriters may permit)
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the commencement of
the offering to the public of such Registrable Securities in the case of Rule
415 offerings), provided that each officer, director, and each person or entity
who is a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act) of five percent (5%) of more of the outstanding shares of
Capital Stock of Retek prior to such offering also agrees to be similarly bound
by this restriction.
3.10. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. After the date of this
Agreement, Retek shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of
majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of Retek that
would grant such holder registration rights that would prevent Retek from
honoring the registration rights of Holders described herein.
ARTICLE IV: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS AND
INFORMATION RIGHTS
4.1. Seats on Retek Board of Directors. At and after the Initial Public
Offering Date, the Board of Directors of Retek shall consist of not more and not
less than seven (7) members and shall be comprised of (a) the Chief Executive
Officer of Retek, (b) three (3) individuals, each of whom shall have been
designated by HNC (each an "HNC Designee") and (c) three (3) independent
directors, each of whom shall have appropriate retail industry (or other
relevant industry) experience and shall have been designated by the Chief
Executive Officer of Retek; provided, however, that HNC's right to designate the
three (3) HNC Designees shall terminate once HNC and its Affiliates own
(including without limitation voting their shares of Capital Stock of Retek)
less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding Common Stock; and
provided, further, that when HNC and its Affiliates own less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the outstanding Common Stock, HNC will use reasonable, good
faith efforts to cause the HNC Designees to tender their resignations as members
of Retek's Board of Directors effective at the next annual meeting of Retek's
stockholders regardless of whether the term of such HNC Designee ends at such
meeting; provided, further, that when HNC and its Affiliates own less than five
percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock, HNC will use reasonable, good
faith efforts to cause the HNC Designees to tender their resignations as members
of Retek's Board of Directors as promptly as possible thereafter. The HNC
Designees will serve in the class of Retek directors whose board seats will come
up for election at the most distant time from the Initial Public Offering than
any other class of Retek directors (currently this class of Retek directors is
19
<PAGE> 20
anticipated to be Retek's Class III Directors, whose seats will come up for
election in 2002). The parties agree to take all necessary action within their
control as is necessary from time to time to implement and carry out the
agreements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, including without
limitation voting their shares of Capital Stock in favor of the election to
Retek's Board of Directors of the Board nominees designated as provided above.
4.2. HNC Designees - Vacancy. For so long as HNC has the right to nominate
the HNC Designees, if a vacancy on the Retek Board of Directors is caused by the
death, disability, retirement, resignation, or removal for cause or otherwise of
an HNC Designee, then HNC shall have the sole right to designate an individual
to fill such vacancy on the Retek Board of Directors. The parties agree to take
all necessary action within their control as may be necessary from time to time
to cause each individual so designated by HNC pursuant to this Section 4.2 to
promptly become a member of the Board of Directors of Retek, by election,
appointment by the Retek Board of Directors or otherwise.
4.3. Removal.
(a) Any HNC Designee may be removed from office only (i) for Cause (as
defined below) by the vote of the stockholders representing not less than a
majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Capital Stock of Retek
entitled to vote upon the election of directors; or (ii) upon HNC's
determination that the HNC Designee should no longer serve as such. Upon any
such determination by HNC pursuant to part (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence, the parties agree to take all necessary action within their control
(including without limitation voting their shares of Capital Stock of Retek) to
cause such HNC Designee to be promptly removed from the Board of Directors of
Retek and to cause a successor HNC Designee designated by HNC to be immediately
elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of Retek to replace such removed
HNC Designee.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) the willful failure by
the HNC Designee to perform his or her lawful duties as a member of Retek's
Board of Directors consistent with such HNC Designee's position, (ii) such HNC
Designee's neglect of his or her duties on a general basis (other than as a
result of illness or disability), (iii) the commission by such HNC Designee of
any act of fraud, theft or criminal dishonesty with respect to Retek or any of
its Affiliates, or the conviction of HNC Designee of any crime involving a
felony, fraud, embezzlement or the like, and (iv) the commission of any act
involving moral turpitude which (A) brings Retek or any of its Affiliates into
public disrepute or disgrace, or (B) causes material injury to the customer
relations, operations or the business prospects of Retek or any of its
Affiliates.
(b) Notwithstanding the rights granted to it under Retek's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, HNC agrees that it will not vote its
shares of Retek Common Stock to remove any member of Retek's Board of Directors
who is not an HNC Designee from the Retek Board of Directors, except for the
removal of any such director for Cause; provided, however, if the person who is
Retek's Chief Executive Officer is a member of Retek's Board of Directors and
such person ceases to be Retek's Chief Executive Officer for any reason, then
HNC shall not be restricted in seeking the removal of such person from Retek's
Board of Directors. Concurrently herewith, John Buchanan, Retek's current Chief
Executive Officer, has executed and delivered to HNC and Retek a letter in the
form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto, in which he has made
20
<PAGE> 21
certain agreements with Retek and HNC which are a material inducement and
consideration to HNC to enter into this Agreement.
4.4. Board Committees. The Board of Directors of Retek shall have a
Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. The Compensation Committee will
be comprised of two (2) non-employee directors and will include at least one (1)
HNC Designee. The Audit Committee will be comprised of two (2) directors and
will include at least one (1) HNC Designee and one independent director.
4.5. Special Transactions. Retek and RIS covenant and agree with HNC that
neither Retek nor RIS shall take any action relating to a Special Transaction
(as defined below) unless (i) such Special Transaction, such Special Transaction
is approved by at least two (2) of the HNC Designees to the Board of Directors
of Retek, and (ii) with respect to a Special Transaction described in Sections
4.5(a), (c), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l) (m), (n) or (o) below, such Special
Transaction is approved by HNC as the majority stockholder of Retek. In
connection with any approvals required by HNC under this Section 4.5, Retek will
provide adequate notice to HNC of any action described in Sections 4.5(a), (c),
(g), (h), (i), (k), (l), (m), (n) or (o) below, without regard to the exceptions
thereto, within a period of time sufficient to enable HNC to approve or
disapprove of any such action. Each such notice shall set forth the terms and
conditions of the proposed transaction, including, without limitation, the
nature of any related action proposed to be taken by the Board of Directors of
Retek, the approximate number of shares of Retek or RIS Capital Stock (if any)
proposed to be sold by Retek or RIS or otherwise issued by Retek or RIS, the
approximate value of Retek's assets (or assets of any of Retek's Subsidiaries)
proposed to be transferred, and the proposed timetable for such transaction, all
with sufficient particularity to enable HNC to approve or disapprove of such
transaction. Promptly, but in any event within seven (7) days after HNC receives
such written notice from Retek, HNC shall notify Retek in writing of its
approval or disapproval of any such transaction.
For the purposes of this Section 4.5, a "Special Transaction" shall mean
any of the following events:
(a) any merger, consolidation or other business combination by Retek,
RIS or any direct or indirect or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Retek or
RIS with one or more Persons in which the outstanding shares of Retek, RIS or
such a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Retek or RIS are exchanged for securities or
other consideration, issued or caused to be issued by the acquiring corporation
or its Subsidiary (other than a mere reincorporation transaction in which the
relative interests of the securityholders of such entity are not changed) in
which the holders of Capital Stock of Retek, RIS or such a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Retek or RIS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do
not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving entity or such
merger, consolidation or business combination;
(b) a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or a
substantial portion of the assets of Retek, RIS or any of their Subsidiaries;
(c) any material change in the scope or nature of the business
presently conducted by Retek, RIS or any of their Subsidiaries as described in
the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering;
21
<PAGE> 22

their Subsidiaries;
(e) any transaction or proposed transaction that would involve the
issuance of Capital Stock of Retek in an amount that would result in an HNC
Ownership Reduction;
(f) any commitment by Retek or RIS to incur annual capital
expenditures or to make investments or capital contributions on behalf of Retek
or RIS in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate; other than any such
expenditures that were not otherwise identified in any Annual Business Plan and
Budget, (as described below) previously submitted to and approved by HNC;
(g) any issuance, sale or exchange of shares of Capital Stock of Retek
or RIS, except the Initial Public Offering or pursuant to sales of Common Stock
of Retek to directors, employees or consultants of Retek or RIS pursuant to

the number of shares reserved under such plan(s)) in writing by HNC (it being
understood that in connection with the Initial Public Offering, HNC has approved
Retek's adoption of, and the reservation of the following respective number of
shares of Retek Common Stock under, (i) the Retek 1999 Equity Incentive Plan,
under which a total of 9,000,000 shares of Retek Common Stock have been reserved
for issuance; (ii) the Retek 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under which a
total of 700,000 shares of Retek Common Stock have been reserved for issuance;
and (iii) the Retek 1999 Directors Stock Option Plan, under which a total of
400,000 shares of Retek Common stock have been reserved for issuance.
(h) the creation, incurrance, assumption, or guarantee of any
obligation for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount, in a single
transaction or a series of transactions, of more than $10,000,000, or the
extension, refinancing, or modification in any material respect of such
obligation;
(i) any sale, purchase, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or
other acquisition or disposition (in one transaction or a series of transaction)

(j) the formation, or the modification of the structure of, any
committees of the Board of Directors of Retek or RIS;

(l) any adoption or amendment of any employee benefit, stock option,
stock purchase or other equity incentive plan, program or arrangement for
Retek's employees;
(m) any material change in any Annual Business Plan and Budget;
(n) any amendment to Retek's certificate of incorporation or by-laws
that would (i) authorize any new class or series of capital stock of Retek or
any preferred stock of Retek, (ii) affect or change the rights of the Common
Stock, (iii) change or alter any provision directly or indirectly relating to
the taking of action by stockholders or the Board of Directors of
22
<PAGE> 23
Retek or the composition or election of Retek's Board of Directors, including,
but not limited to, the voting requirements of the stockholders and directors of
Retek;
(o) any adoption or amendment of a stockholder rights plan, poison
pill or similar antitakeover device;
(p) the commencement by Retek of any legal action, suit, arbitration
or other proceeding (each, an "Action"), other than any such proceeding that (i)
is in the ordinary course of Retek's business and not material in amount or in
the likely impact on Retek or (ii) where the aggregate amount of (A) damages or
other relief (including the reasonably anticipated economic impact of any
non-monetary relief, as determined by the Board of Directors of Retek in its
good faith judgment) sought by Retek in such Action, (B) the amount of damages
or other relief that would reasonably be expected to be sought by the defendant
or defendants in any counterclaim against Retek in such Action and (C) the
amount of expenses Retek would reasonably expect to pay to prosecute or defend
such Action is not in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Retek
reasonably anticipated to exceed $500,000; and
(q) the settlement of any Action against Retek of other than (i) any
Action that arises in the ordinary course of Retek's business and not material
in amount or in the likely impact on Retek or (ii) any such settlement that
would result in a cost to Retek (net of any amounts payable to Retek under
insurance policies or recoveries by Retek on any counterclaims) of not more than
$500,000 (including the reasonably anticipated economic impact of any
non-monetary relief, as determined by the Board of Directors of Retek in its
good faith judgment).
4.6. Information Rights. Retek shall deliver to HNC in such format and
media as HNC may reasonably request:
(a) as soon as available, but in any event within twenty (20) days
after the end of each month and each quarter, a consolidated balance sheet of
Retek and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the end of such month or quarter
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and
statement of cash flows for such month or quarter, as the case may be, and for
the year to date, setting forth, in each case, in comparative form the figures
for the corresponding period of one year earlier, all in reasonable detail and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
(except for the omission of footnotes) applied on a consistent basis throughout
the periods represented;
(b) as soon as available, but in any event within ninety (90) days
after the end of each fiscal year of Retek, a consolidated audited balance sheet
of Retek and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and
the related statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and statement of cash
flows for such fiscal year setting forth, in comparative form the figures for
the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail for audit clearance within
HNC. Retek will deliver to HNC within ninety (90) days after the end of each
fiscal year such materials accompanied by the report thereon of Retek's
independent auditors, which report shall state that such financial statements
present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Retek and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year in conformity
with GAAP consistently applied;

Annual Business Plan and Budget, the Board of Directors of Retek and HNC must
first approve such action.
4.8. Inspection and Audit Rights. Retek agrees to permit authorized
representatives of HNC to visit and inspect any of the properties of Retek,
including its books of account, and to take extracts or copies thereof, and to
discuss Retek's affairs, finances and accounts with Retek's officers and
independent accountants, all at such times and as often as may be reasonably
requested, and to make such other inspections as may be necessary to permit HNC
to review any of the financial statements of Retek delivered to HNC pursuant to
this Agreement; provided however, that such representative shall hold in
confidence all non-public information so provided
24

and so designated by Retek (except that such representatives may disclose such
information to officers of HNC, to HNC's counsel and independent auditors, to
others and as required by law and regulations, including, without limitation,
any laws or regulations requiring HNC to report (or to incorporate in any
reports of HNC) such information regarding Retek). In addition, Retek will allow

enter into any commitment or agreement which to Retek's knowledge, after due
inquiry, may reasonably be anticipated to result, with or without notice and
with or without lapse of time or otherwise, in a contravention, violation or
event of default by HNC or any of its Affiliates of (i) any provision of HNC's
certificate of incorporation or by-laws, each as amended, (ii) any credit
agreement or other material agreements (including agreements relating to
covenants not to compete) binding upon HNC or (iii) any judgment, order or
decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over HNC or
any of its respective assets.
(b) Retek and HNC agree to provide to the other any information and
documentation requested by the other for the purpose of evaluating and ensuring
compliance with Section 4.10(a) hereof.
4.11. Termination of Certain Rights. Except as provided in Section 4.1, the
provisions of this Article IV shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect at such time as HNC (together with its Affiliates) ceases to own at least
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Capital Stock of Retek;
provided that the provisions of this Article IV shall not terminate if HNC
(together with its Affiliates (other than Retek and RIS)) ceases to own at least
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Capital Stock of Retek due
to any breach, violation or default by Retek or RIS of any of their duties or

amended, or under any agreement to which they are a party or to which HNC is a
party or beneficiary.

STOCK CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
This Stock Contribution Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of November 23, 1999 (the "Effective Date") by and between HNC
Software Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HNC") and Retek Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Retek").
R E C I T A L S
A. HNC, Retek and Retek Information Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("RIS") have entered into a certain Separation Agreement dated as of
November 23, 1999 (the "Separation Agreement") pursuant to which the parties
have made certain agreements providing for the separation of the businesses of
Retek and RIS from HNC in connection with the initial public offering of the
common stock of Retek (the "Initial Public Offering').
B. The Separation Agreement provides that, at the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, HNC will contribute and transfer to Retek all of the
outstanding shares of RIS owned by HNC, and this Agreement is being entered into
pursuant to the Separation Agreement to document such contribution and transfer.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. CONTRIBUTION OF SHARES. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as of the Effective Date,
HNC hereby contributes, assigns and transfers to Retek, and Retek hereby accepts
from HNC, one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of RIS (the "Contributed Shares"). Accordingly HNC is hereby delivering to
Retek: (i) a stock certificate representing the Contributed Shares and (ii) a
stock power separate from certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
duly endorsed, transferring the Contributed Shares to Retek.
2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF RETEK. In
consideration of the contribution of the Contributed Shares, Retek represents
and warrants to HNC, and agrees with HNC as follows:
2.1 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. Retek understands and
acknowledges that the Contributed Shares have not been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act") and have not been registered or qualified under the
securities laws of any state, but instead were issued and are being transferred
hereunder under exemptions from such registration and/or qualification
requirements which impose certain restrictions on Retek's ability to transfer
the Contributed Shares. Retek understands and acknowledges that HNC is an
"affiliate" of RIS within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act
("Rule 144") and Retek has been advised by its counsel of the restrictions on
transfer of the Contributed Shares under Rule 144.
2.2. INVESTMENT INTENT. Retek is acquiring the Contributed Shares
for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, any distribution of the Contributed Shares within the
meaning of the 1933 Act. Purchaser has no present intention of selling or
otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Contributed Shares and no one
other than Retek has any beneficial ownership of any of the Contributed Shares.
1
<PAGE> 2
2.3 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Retek is an accredited investor and
has had access to all information regarding RIS and its present and prospective
business, assets, liabilities and financial condition that Retek reasonably
considers important in making the decision to purchase the Contributed Shares,
and Retek has had ample opportunity to ask questions of RIS's representatives
concerning such matters and this investment.
2.4 LEGENDS. Retek understands and agrees that RIS will place the
legend set forth below on any stock certificate(s) evidencing the Contributed
Shares, together with any other legends that may be required by state or federal
securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR
EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
2.5 STOP-TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. Retek agrees that, to ensure
compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and applicable
securities laws, RIS may issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to its
transfer agent, if any, and if RIS transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
3. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
3.1 ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Any assignment of rights
and obligations by any party to this Agreement requires the prior written
consent of the other party.
3.2 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving
effect to that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.
3.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute such further
documents and instruments and to take such further actions as may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
3.4 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an
original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile.
3.5 AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS. No amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement will be enforceable unless set forth in a
writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought. Any amendment
effected in accordance with this section will be binding upon all parties hereto
and each of their respective successors and assigns.
3.6 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the documents referred
to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior
understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the
parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.

Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the 2002 annual meeting of
stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, beginning with the 2000
annual meeting of stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose terms
expire at that annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a three year
term. The initial Class III directors shall be Ward Carey, Charles H. Gaylord,
Jr. and Alex W. Hart. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or
decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of
directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a
decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
A director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders for the
year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be
elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Subject to the rights, if
any, of the holders of Preferred Stock or the terms of any contract to which the
Corporation is bound, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an
increase in the number of directors and any other vacancy occurring on the Board
of Directors, howsoever resulting, may be filled only by a majority of the
remaining members of the Board of Directors, though less than a quorum, or by
the sole remaining director, and except as otherwise provided by law or the
terms of any contract to which the Corporation is bound, any such vacancy may
not be filled by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as HNC has the right to nominate
persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to
the Corporate Rights Agreement referenced in Section 13.01 hereof, as such
agreement may be amended from time to time (such nominated persons being
hereinafter called "HNC Designees"), if a vacancy on the Corporation's Board of
Directors is caused by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal
for cause or otherwise of an HNC Designee, then HNC shall have the sole right to
nominate an individual to fill such vacancy on the Corporation's Board of
Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding
<PAGE> 5
5
sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of
directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such director's successor shall have been fully elected and qualified.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any
one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall
have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling
of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the
terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be
amended from time to time) or the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board
of Directors pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, and such directors so elected
shall not be divided into classes pursuant to Section 5.03(b) unless expressly
provided by such terms.
(d) Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election
of directors and of the proposal of business by stockholders shall be given in
the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation, as amended and in effect
from time to time.
(e) Prior to the Trigger Date, any or all of the Directors may
be removed with or without cause at any time by either (i) the vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock then entitled to
vote at an election of Directors, or (ii) by written consent of the holders of
the Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof. After the Trigger Date, any or
all of the Directors may be removed only with cause at any time by vote of the
holders of a majority of the Common Stock then entitled to vote at an election
of Directors.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, after the Trigger Date,
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all
Voting Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class, shall be
required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article
V.
ARTICLE VI
STOCKHOLDER ACTION
SECTION 6.01. Action By Written Consent. Prior to the Trigger
Date, any corporate action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or
special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted
and shall be delivered to the Corporation (either by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested) at its registered office in the State
of Delaware or its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the
Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded; provided, however, that effective as of and after the
Trigger Date, unless otherwise required by applicable law, any corporate action
required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders may be taken only at a duly called annual or special meeting of
stockholders and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of such a meeting.
<PAGE> 6

SECTION 6.02. Special Meetings. Effective as of and after the
Trigger Date, unless otherwise prescribed by law and subject to any preferential
rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock created by the Board of
Directors from time to time, special meetings of the stockholders of the
Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or, at the request in writing
of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, any officer of the
Corporation, and effective as of and after the Trigger Date, any power of the
stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is specifically
denied, provided, however, that prior to the Trigger Date, the Corporation shall
call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation promptly upon the
request of HNC or any of its affiliates (other than the Corporation or any
subsidiary of the Corporation), in each case if such entity is a stockholder of
the Corporation.
SECTION 6.03. Amendment. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, after
the Trigger Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the
voting power of all Voting Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single
class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent
with this Article VI.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 7.01. Indemnification. (a) The Corporation shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any
<PAGE> 7
7
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section
7.01(a) and (b) hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under Section 7.01(a) and (b) hereof
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or
former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
7.01(a) and (b) hereof. Such determination shall be made with respect to a
person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than
quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders
of the Corporation.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation pursuant to this Article VII. Such expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other
employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as
the Corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, other Sections of this Article VII shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.
(g) For purposes of this Article VII, references to "the
Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in
a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or
agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with
<PAGE> 8
8
respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect
to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(h) For purposes of this Article VII, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall
include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee
benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation"
shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves service by, such director,
officer, employee or agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its
participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in
this Article VII.
(i) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 7.02. Insurance for Indemnification. The Corporation
shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under this Article VII or the provisions of
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
ARTICLE VIII
BYLAWS
SECTION 8.01. Amendment of Bylaws. The Bylaws of the
Corporation may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted
(i) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders or, to the extent permitted
hereby, the written consent of the stockholders, by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock
entitled to vote on that matter, provided, however, that any proposed
alteration, amendment or repeal of, or the adoption of any Bylaw inconsistent
with, Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.11, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 of the Bylaws, by the
stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80%
of the voting power of all Common Stock then outstanding, voting together as a
single class, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of directors constituting not less
than a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would
have if there were no vacancies.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article
VIII.

ARTICLE IX
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
SECTION 9.01. Limitation on Liability. A director of the
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
ARTICLE X
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
SECTION 10.01. Purpose. In anticipation that the Corporation
will cease to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNC, but that HNC will remain a
substantial stockholder of the Corporation, and in anticipation that the
Corporation and HNC may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of
business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and
in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through its
continued contractual, corporate and business relations with HNC (including
possible service of officers and directors of HNC as officers and/or directors
of the Corporation), the provisions of this Article are set forth to regulate
and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve
HNC and its officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties and
liabilities of the Corporation and its officers, directors and stockholders in
connection therewith.
SECTION 10.02. No Duty to Refrain. HNC shall have no duty to
refrain from engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as
the Corporation, and neither HNC nor any officer or director thereof (except as
provided in Section 10.03 below) shall be liable for breach of any fiduciary
duty by reason of any such activities of HNC. In the event that HNC acquires
knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate
opportunity for both HNC and the Corporation, HNC shall have no duty to
communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall not
be liable for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of the Corporation
by reason of the fact that HNC pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity
for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not
communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.
SECTION 10.03. Corporate Opportunities. In the event that a
director or officer of the Corporation who is also a director or officer of HNC
acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate
opportunity for both the Corporation and HNC, such director or officer of the
Corporation shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such
director or officer to the Corporation and its stockholders with respect to such
corporate opportunity, if such director or officer acts in a manner consistent
with the following policy: (i) A corporate opportunity offered to any person who
is an officer of the Corporation, and who is also a director but not an officer
of HNC, shall belong to the Corporation; (ii) a corporate opportunity offered to
any person who is a director but not an officer of the Corporation, and who is
also a director or officer of HNC shall belong to the Corporation if such
opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her
<PAGE> 10
10
capacity as a director of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to HNC;
and (iii) a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is an officer of
both the Corporation and HNC shall belong to the Corporation if such opportunity
is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as
an officer of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to HNC.
SECTION 10.04. Successors. Any person purchasing or otherwise
acquiring any interest in shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall
be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this
Article.
SECTION 10.05. Definitions. For purposes of this Article only:
(a) A director of the Corporation who is Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation or of a committee thereof shall not be deemed to
be an officer of the Corporation by reason of holding such position (without
regard to whether such position is deemed an office of the Corporation under the
Bylaws of the Corporation), unless such person is a full-time employee of the
Corporation; and
(b) (1) The term "Corporation" shall mean the Corporation and
all corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, associations and other entities
in which the Corporation beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) 50% or more
of the outstanding voting stock, voting power, partnership interests or similar
voting interests, and (2) the term "HNC," for the purpose of this Article only,
shall mean HNC and all corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, associations
and other entities (other than the Corporation, defined in accordance with
clause (1) of this paragraph Section 10.05(b)) in which HNC beneficially owns
(directly or indirectly) 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock, voting
power, partnership interests or similar voting interests.
SECTION 10.06. Expiration. Notwithstanding anything in this
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, (i) the
foregoing provisions of this Article shall expire on the date that HNC ceases to
own beneficially Common Stock representing at least 25% of the total voting
power of all classes of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation and no
person who is a director or officer of the Corporation is also a director or
officer of HNC; and (ii) in addition to any vote of the stockholders required by
this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, until the time that HNC
ceases to own beneficially Common Stock representing at least 25% of the total
voting power of all classes of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, the
affirmative vote of the holders of more than 80% of the total voting power of
all classes of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation shall be required to
alter, amend or repeal in a manner adverse to the interests of HNC, or adopt any
provision adverse to the interests of HNC and inconsistent with, any provision
of this Article. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Article nor
the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation inconsistent with this Article shall eliminate or reduce the
effect of this Article in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of
action, suit or claim that, but for this Article, would accrue or arise, prior
to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.

such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at such Stockholder's address
as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If, prior to the time of
mailing, the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") shall have received
from any Stockholder a written request that notices intended for such
Stockholder are to be mailed to some address other than the address that appears
on the records of the Corporation, notices intended for such Stockholder shall
be mailed to the address designated in such request. Any previously scheduled
meeting of the stockholders not called at the request of HNC may be postponed,
and any special meeting of the stockholders not called at the request of HNC may
be canceled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given
prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders. Any
previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders called at the request of HNC
may be postponed or canceled, upon the written consent of HNC, by resolution of
the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously
scheduled for such meeting of stockholders.
SECTION 2.04. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be
made at an annual meeting of stockholders (A) pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 of this
Article II, (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (C) by
any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the
time of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.04, who is
entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 2.04, or (D) prior to the Trigger
Date, by HNC or any of its affiliates that is a stockholder of the
Corporation without the need to comply with the procedures set forth in
this Section 2.04.
(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought
before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (C) of
paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.04, the stockholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and
such other business must be a proper subject for stockholder action. To be
timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than sixty (60)
days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that
the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days
or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date, notice
by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the
ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such
annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public
announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.
For purposes of determining whether a stockholder's
2
<PAGE> 6
notice shall have been delivered in a timely manner for the annual meeting
of stockholders in 2000, the first anniversary of the previous year's
meeting shall be deemed to be September 3, 1999. In no event shall the
public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new
time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.
Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (A) with respect to each person
whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a
director, all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an
election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's
written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to
serving as a director if elected); (B) as to any other business that the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of
the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such
business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the
notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or
proposal is made, (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they
appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (2)
the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned
beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
(a)(ii) of this Section 2.04 to the contrary, in the event that the number
of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and
there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the
nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of
Directors made by the Corporation at least seventy (70) days prior to the
first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's
notice required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.04 shall also be
considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions
created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which such public
announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to Section
4 of this Article II. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors
are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (i) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) by any stockholder of the
Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the
notice provided for in this Section 2.04, who is entitled to vote at the meeting
and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.04, or
(iii) prior to the Trigger Date, by HNC, or any of its affiliates that is a
stockholder of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation calls a
special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more
directors to the Board of Directors, (A) prior to the Trigger Date, HNC may
nominate any person or persons for election to the Board of Directors at, or at
any time prior to, such special meeting of stockholders, or (B) any stockholder
may nominate such person or persons (as the case may be), for election to the
Board
3
<PAGE> 7
of Directors at such special stockholders' meeting, if the stockholder's notice
required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.04 shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting and
not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth day prior to
such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public
announcement by the Corporation is first made of the date of the special meeting
and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such
meeting.
(c) General.
(i) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.04 shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04. Except as otherwise
provided by law, the Charter or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting
shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance
with this Section 2.04 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not
in compliance with this Section 2.04, to declare that such defective
proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2.04, "public announcement" shall
mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service,
Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document
publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.04, for so long as the Corporation is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, a stockholder shall also comply with all
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to such stockholder with respect to the matters set
forth in this Section 2.04. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed
to affect any rights (A) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals
in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Exchange Act or (B) of the holders of any series or Preferred Stock to
elect directors.
SECTION 2.05. Waiver of Notice Notice of any annual or special meeting
of Stockholders need not be given to any Stockholder who files a written waiver
of notice with the Secretary, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether
before or after such meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any meeting of Stockholders need be specified in any written waiver
of notice thereof. Attendance of a Stockholder at a meeting, in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such
Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that
the notice of such meeting was inadequate or improperly given.
SECTION 2.06. Adjournments Whenever a meeting of Stockholders, annual
or special, is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned
4
<PAGE> 8
meeting if the date, time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or
if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a
notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder entitled to
vote thereat. At the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the original meeting.
SECTION 2.07. Quorum . Except as otherwise provided by law or in the
Charter, the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares
of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
"Voting Stock"), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business at all meetings of Stockholders, whether annual or
special, except that, if required by law or pursuant to the provisions of the
Charter, when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock
voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or
series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of
such business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present in person or by
proxy at any meeting of Stockholders, the person serving as chairman of the
meeting or the holders of a majority in interest of the stockholders present in
person or by proxy and who are entitled to vote on every matter that is to be
voted on without regard to class at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from
time to time in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof until a quorum shall be
present in person or by proxy.
SECTION 2.08. Organization and Conduct of Business. The Chairman of
the Board of Directors shall act as chairman of meetings of the stockholders.
The Board of Directors may designate any other officer or director of the
Corporation to act as chairman of any meeting in the absence of the Chairman of
the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors may further provide for
determining who shall act as chairman of any stockholder's meeting in the
absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and such designee. The person
serving as chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of
business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order.
The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings
of the stockholders, but in the absence of the Secretary the presiding officer
may appoint any other person to act as secretary of any meeting.
SECTION 2.09. Proxies and Voting. At any meeting of Stockholders, every
Stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an
instrument executed in writing (or in such manner prescribed by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) by the Stockholder, or by such
person's duly authorized attorney in fact. Election of Directors at all meetings
of the Stockholders at which Directors are to be elected need not be by written
ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock to elect Directors, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect
directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Charter and these Bylaws and
subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, in all
matters other than the election of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority
of the voting power of the outstanding shares present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of
the Stockholders.

<PAGE> 9
SECTION 2.10. Inspectors of Election. The Board of Directors may, and
to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders,
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting, decide upon the
qualification of voters, count the votes, decide the results and make a written
report thereof in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate
inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or
alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at
the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each
inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take
and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector(s)
shall have the duties prescribed by law.
SECTION 2.11. Action by Written Consent. Prior to the Trigger Date, any
corporate action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, if
a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a
meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and
shall be delivered to the Corporation (either by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested) at its registered office in the State
of Delaware or its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the
Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
stockholders are recorded; provided, however, that effective as of and after the
Trigger Date, unless otherwise required by applicable law, any corporate action
required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders may be taken only at a duly called annual or special meeting of
stockholders and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of such a meeting.
ARTICLE III
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SECTION 3.01. General Powers. The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed or under the direction of the Board of Directors,
which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful
acts and things that are not conferred upon or reserved to the stockholders or
others by law, the Charter, these Bylaws or by any contract to which the
Corporation is bound.
SECTION 3.02. Number and Term of Office. Prior to the Trigger Date, the
Board of Directors shall consist of seven (7) directors. After the Trigger Date,
and subject to the rights, if any, of holders of Preferred Stock, the number of
Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by
resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by the affirmative vote of
directors constituting not less than a majority of the Whole Board (as defined
below), but shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10)
directors. The directors, other than those (if any) who may be elected by the
holders of Preferred Stock voting as a separate class, shall be divided, with
respect to the time they severally hold office, into three classes, designated
Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as
possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire
Board of Directors. The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on
the date of the 2000 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of the initial
Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the 2001 annual meeting of
6
<PAGE> 10
stockholders; and the term of the initial Class III directors shall terminate on
the date of the 2002 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, beginning with the 2000 annual meeting of stockholders, successors
to the class of directors whose terms expire at that annual meeting of
stockholders shall be elected for a three year term. The initial Class III
directors shall be Ward Carey, Charles H. Gaylord, Jr. and Alex W. Hart. If the
number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned
among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as
nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of
directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold
office until the annual meeting of stockholders for the year in which his or her
term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify,
subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or
removal from office.
For purposes of these Bylaws, the term "Whole Board" shall mean the
total number of Directors that the Corporation would have if there were no
vacancies on the Corporation's Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.03. Resignation. Any Director may resign at any time by
giving written notice to the Board, the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation
(the "Chairman") or the Secretary. Such resignation shall take effect at the
time specified in such notice or, if the time be not specified, upon receipt
thereof by the Board, the Chairman or the Secretary, as the case may be. Unless
otherwise specified therein, acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective.
SECTION 3.04. Removal. Prior to the Trigger Date, any or all of the
Directors may be removed with or without cause at any time by either (i) the
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock, or
(ii) by written consent of the holders of the Voting Stock pursuant to Section
2.11 hereof. After the Trigger Date, any or all of the Directors may be removed
only with cause at any time by vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting
Stock.
SECTION 3.05. Vacancies. Subject to the rights, if any, of holders of
Preferred Stock or the terms of any contract to which the Corporation is bound,
any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the
number of directors and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors,
howsoever resulting, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining members of the Board of Directors, though less than a quorum, or by
the sole remaining director, and except as otherwise provided by law or the
terms of any contract to which the Corporation is bound, any such vacancy may
not be filled by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as HNC has the right to nominate
persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to
the Corporate Rights Agreement referenced in Section 11.03 hereof, as such
agreement may be amended from time to time (such nominated persons being
hereinafter called "HNC Designees"), if a vacancy on the Corporation's Board of
Directors is caused by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal
for cause or otherwise of an HNC Designee, then HNC shall have the sole right to
nominate an individual to fill such vacancy on the Corporation's Board of
Directors. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall
hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in
which the
7
<PAGE> 11
new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such
director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
SECTION 3.06. Meetings. (a) Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the
Board of Directors may be held at such place, either inside or outside of the
State of Delaware, and at such time, as may from time to time be designated by
the Chairman of the Board of Directors or resolution of the Board of Directors
or as may be specified in the call of any meeting. An annual meeting of the
Board of Directors shall be held on the same day as, and as soon as practicable
following, the annual meeting of stockholders or at such other time or place as
shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its regular meeting next
preceding said annual meeting of stockholders.
(b) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
held at any time on the call of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the
Chief Executive Officer or a majority of the Board of Directors then in office.
The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of
Directors may fix the time and place of the meetings. Meetings may be held at
any time or place without notice if all the directors are present or if those
not present waive notice of the meeting in writing.
(c) Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall give written notice to each
Director of each meeting of the Board of Directors, which notice shall state the
place, date, time and purpose of such meeting. Notice of each such meeting shall
be given to each Director, if by mail, addressed to him at his residence or
usual place of business, at least two days before the day on which such meeting
is to be held, or shall be sent to him at such place by telecopy, telegraph,
cable, or other form of recorded communication, or be delivered personally or by
telephone not later than the day before the day on which such meeting is to be
held. A written waiver of notice, signed by the Director entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time of the meeting referred to in such waiver,
shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at,
nor the purpose of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in
any written waiver of notice thereof. Attendance of a Director at a meeting of
the Board of Directors shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except as provided by law.
(d) Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may hold its meetings at
such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of
Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors may from time to time
determine, or as shall be designated in the respective notices or waivers of
notice of such meetings.
(e) Quorum and Manner of Acting. Subject to Section 2.04, a whole
number of Directors equal to at least a majority of the Whole Board shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but if at any meeting of
the Board of Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of
the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further
notice. Subject to the terms of any contract to which the Corporation is bound,
the act of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum of
the Board of Directors is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.
The Directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Directors
to leave less than a quorum.

<PAGE> 12
SECTION 3.07. Directors' Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee
and such consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of
Directors or such committee.
SECTION 3.08. Action by Means of Telephone or Similar Communications
Equipment. Any one or more members of the Board of Directors, or of any
committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or
such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute
presence in person at such meeting.
SECTION 3.09. Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the Charter,
the Board of Directors may determine the compensation of Directors. In addition,
as determined by the Board of Directors, Directors may be reimbursed by the
Corporation for their expenses, if any, in the performance of their duties as
Directors. No such compensation or reimbursement shall preclude any Director
from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.
SECTION 3.10. Reliance upon Books, Reports and Records. Each Director,
each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors and each
officer, in the performance of his or her duties, shall be fully protected in
relying in good faith upon such information, opinions, reports or statements
presented to the Corporation by any of its officers or employees, or by
committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person, as to matters such
Director, member or officer, as the case may be, reasonably believes are within
such person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with
reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in
relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation.

<PAGE> 13
committee present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting whether or not
he or she or they constitute a quorum, may by unanimous vote appoint another

absent or disqualified member. Each committee shall have a secretary who shall
be designated by its chairman. A vice chairman of a committee shall act as the
chairman of the committee in the absence or disability of the chairman. Nothing

of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee shall have or may
exercise any authority of the Board of Directors.
SECTION 4.02. Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall select and

prescribe. The Audit Committee shall transmit financial statements certified by
such independent public accountants to the Board of Directors after the close of
each fiscal year. The selection of independent public accountants for each

meeting. The Audit Committee shall confer with such accountants and review and
approve the scope of the audit of the books of account and other corporate
records of the Company. The Audit Committee shall have the power to confer with
and direct the officers of the Corporation to the extent necessary to review the
internal controls, accounting practices, financial structure and financial
reporting of the Corporation. From time to time the Audit Committee shall report

and review and such other matters relating to the internal controls, accounting
practices, financial structure and financial reporting of the Corporation as the
Audit Committee believes merit review by the Board of Directors. The Audit
Committee also shall perform such other functions and exercise such other powers
as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 4.03. Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee shall
fix from time to time the salaries of members of the Board of Directors who are

Vice Presidents of the Corporation. It also shall perform such functions as may
be delegated to it under the provisions of any bonus, supplemental compensation,
special compensation or stock option plan of the Corporation.
SECTION 4.04. Rules and Procedures. Each committee may fix its own
rules and procedures and shall meet at such times and places as may be provided
by such rules, by resolution of the committee or by call of the chairman or vice
chairman of such committee. Notice of meeting of each committee, other than of
regular meetings provided for by its rules or resolutions, shall be given to
committee members. The presence of a majority of its members, but not less than
two, shall constitute a quorum of any committee, and all questions shall be
decided by a majority vote of the members present at the meeting. All action
taken at each committee meeting shall be recorded in minutes of the meeting.
SECTION 4.05. Application of Article. Whenever any provision of any
other document relating to any committee of the Corporation named therein shall
be in conflict with
10
<PAGE> 14
any provision of this Article IV, the provisions of this Article IV shall
govern, except that if such other document shall have been approved by the
stockholders or by the Board of Directors, the provisions of such other document
shall govern.

reasonably require.

certificate theretofore issued by it and alleged to have been mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate or, in the
case of loss, theft or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof
of such loss, theft or destruction, and the Board of Directors or any financial
officer of the Corporation may, in its discretion, require the recordholder of
the Shares evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or his legal
representative to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the
Corporation against any claim made against it on account of the alleged loss,
theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new

action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall
not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor
more than 60 days prior to any other such action. A determination of the
Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall

person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 10.01(a) and
(b) of these Bylaws, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
16
<PAGE> 20
(d) Any indemnification under Section 10.01(a) and (b) of these Bylaws
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or
former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
10.01(a) and (b) of these Bylaws. Such determination shall be made with respect
to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i)
by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than
quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders
of the Corporation.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation pursuant to this Article X. Such expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems
appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, other Sections of this Article X shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.
(g) For purposes of this Article X, references to "the Corporation"
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or
agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this Article X with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(h) For purposes of this Article X, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves service by, such director, officer, employee or
agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article
X.
17
<PAGE> 21
(i) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article X shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 10.02. Insurance for Indemnification. The Corporation shall
have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by
such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the Corporation has the power to indemnify such person
against such liability under this Article X or the provisions of Section 145 of
the General Corporation Law.
