("Merger Sub"), and Softdesk, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("East").

                                   RECITALS

     WHEREAS, East, West and Merger Sub have entered into an Agreement and Plan 
of Reorganization dated December 10, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), which 
provides that, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions 
thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into East (the "Merger") with East 
continuing as the Surviving Corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of 
West; and

     WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend the Merger Agreement and the 
related Stock Option Agreement between East and West dated December 10, 1996 
(the "Option Agreement").

                                   AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual 
covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable 
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the 
parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Exchange Ratio.
   ---------------

     1.1. Section 1.6(a) of the Merger Agreement, Conversion of East Common 
                                                  -------------------------
Stock, shall be amended to (x) delete subparagraph (ii), (y) renumber 
- -----
subparagraph (iii) to be subparagraph (ii) and amend it as set forth below,

     "(ii) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the average of the closing
     prices of West's Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market for
     the five trading days immediately preceding the closing date is less than
     $16.00 per share (as adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any
     Recapitalization), West shall have the right to terminate this Agreement,
     provided that such termination shall not be effective if East agrees,
     within two business days after notice of West's intention to terminate the
     Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(ii), to consummate the
     transaction at a fixed Exchange Ratio of 0.9375."

(the "East Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the 

<PAGE>
 
     Effective Time (other than shares of East Common Stock to be canceled
     pursuant to Section 1.6(b) will be canceled and extinguished and
     automatically converted (subject to Sections 1.6(e) and (f)) into the right
     to receive that fraction of a share of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
     share, of West (the "West Common Stock") obtained by dividing $15.00 by the
     average of the closing prices of West's Common Stock as quoted on the
     Nasdaq National Market for the five trading days immediately preceding the
     Closing Date (the "Exchange Ratio"), upon surrender of the certificate
     representing such share of East Common Stock in the manner provided in 
     Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate,
     upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner

     Proposal for a period of not less than seven days after West's receipt of a
     copy of such East Superior Proposal (or a description of the significant
     terms and conditions thereof, if not in writing).


     2.2. The first sentence of Section 5.13 of the Merger Agreement shall be 
amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will fulfill
     and honor in all respects the obligations of East to officers and
     directors, employees and agents of East immediately prior to the Effective
     Time pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the
     Bylaws of East as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time,

     hereby.

3. Termination, Amendment and Waiver.

number "$1,500,000" shall be replaced with "$2,500,000."

Agreement, as the case may be.

        5.3. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall 
constitute one and the same instrument.
