Each of M/C Venture Partners V, M/C Venture Investors and Chestnut Venture Partners (collectively, the "M/C Entities") acquired its respective shares of Common Stock pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, entered into as of September 28, 2004 by and between the Issuer, the M/C Entities and the other investors named therein. The stock purchase agreement provides for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 24,159,468 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $1.1386, and includes standard representations and warranties of the Issuer and the investors, as well as additional terms and conditions, including those set forth below. The representations and warranties will survive for one year after the closing. Artisoft has agreed to indemnify the investors and specified related parties against damages with respect to breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants of Artisoft in the stock purchase agreement. The stock purchase agreement may be modified, waived or amended pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Issuer and with investors constituting a majority-in-interest of the shares held by the investors (subject to certain conditions).

Pursuant to these provisions, the M/C Entities have designated John P. Ward and Matthew J. Rubins as directors of Artisoft and the M/C Entities and Artisoft's board of directors have mutually agreed to designate Michael P. Downey and Francis E.

Artisoft's negative covenants relate to obligations not to, without the prior consent of the M/C Entities, enter into a transaction involving a change in control of Artisoft; incur indebtedness in excess of $3.0 million; create any security with an equity component unless that security is junior to the common stock or, subject to specified exceptions, issue any equity securities; transfer its intellectual property; repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on any shares of capital stock (except for dividends or other distributions payable on the common stock solely in the form of additional shares of common stock); grant stock options that are not authorized by a vote of the board of directors or its compensation committee; liquidate or dissolve; change the size of Artisoft's board of directors; amend Artisoft's certificate of incorporation or bylaws; change the nature of Artisoft's business; or alter the voting rights of shares of Artisoft's capital stock in a disparate manner.

Artisoft has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the registration statement with respect to this registration by November 12, 2004 and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective on or before December 31, 2004.
