Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
     On November 4, 2009, JDA Software Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“JDA”), Alpha Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of JDA (“Merger Sub”), and i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“i2”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), under which Merger Sub will be merged with and into i2 (the “Merger”), with i2 continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JDA. The Merger Agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both JDA and i2.
     As provided in the Merger Agreement, JDA intends to raise approximately $275 million of senior unsecured notes through a best efforts financing between the signing date and December 18, 2009. If JDA raises sufficient funds and satisfies other conditions in the definitive merger agreement by December 18, 2009, each issued and outstanding share of i2 common stock will be converted into the right to receive approximately $12.70 in cash and 0.2562 of a share of JDA common stock with a combined value equal to $18.00 per share based on JDA’s closing stock price on November 4, 2009 (the “Intended Structure”).
     If JDA does not raise sufficient funds and meet the conditions necessary to complete the transaction under the Intended Structure, then the parties will complete financing under the Commitment Letter (discussed below) and proceed with the Alternative Structure (as defined below). Under the Alternative Structure, each issued and outstanding share of i2 common stock will be converted into the right to receive approximately $6.00 in cash and 0.5797 of a share of JDA common stock with a combined value of $18.00 per share based on JDA’s stock price on November 4, 2009 (the “Alternative Structure”).
     Under either the Intended Structure or the Alternative Structure, each issued and outstanding share of i2’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive $1,100.00 per share in cash, and will receive all accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, under either the Intended Structure or the Alternative Structure, each outstanding option to purchase i2 common stock would be canceled and converted into the right to receive the applicable merger consideration with respect to the number of shares of i2 common stock that would be issuable upon a net exercise of such option, and each outstanding restricted stock unit award would become fully vested (except that if the applicable award agreement provides that a lesser percentage becomes vested upon consummation of the Merger, such award would only become vested as to such lesser percentage) and would be canceled, and the holder of such award would be entitled to receive the applicable merger consideration for each share of i2 common stock into which the vested portion of the award would otherwise be convertible.
     Consummation of the transaction, which is expected to close in first quarter 2010, is subject to several closing conditions, including the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by i2’s stockholders, expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting periods and regulatory and other customary conditions. If the transaction proceeds with the Alternative Structure, approval by JDA stockholders will also be required. In addition, under

2


 

the Intended Structure, the JDA board of directors will consider adding one mutually agreeable i2 director to its board, and under the Alternative Structure the appointment is required.
     JDA will use cash from financing sources (senior unsecured notes in the Intended Structure or bank financing in the Alternative Structure, as appropriate), together with the companies’ combined cash balances at closing, to fund the cash obligations of the Merger Agreement, related transaction expenses, and to provide cash for the combined companies’ ongoing working capital and general corporate needs. The Merger Agreement requires that any such financing must be placed into escrow, and must result in a reduction in the shares of JDA common stock to be issued in the Merger to less than 20% of JDA’s common stock outstanding, so that approval by JDA’s stockholders would not be required in the Intended Structure under applicable NASDAQ rules.
     The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both JDA and i2, and provides that (i) upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including a change in the recommendation of the board of i2 or in the event i2 elects to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal from a third party, i2 will owe JDA a cash termination fee of $15 million, (ii) upon the termination of the Merger Agreement because JDA does not obtain financing necessary to complete the Merger, JDA will owe i2 a cash termination fee of $30 million and (iii) upon the termination of the Merger Agreement due to JDA’s failure to obtain the required approvals of its stockholders, if necessary, JDA will owe i2 a cash termination fee of $7 million.
     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Voting Agreements
     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, JDA and i2 entered into voting agreements (the “i2 Voting Agreements”) with the directors and certain executive officers of i2 and with the sole holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to which such signatories have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and against any other proposal or offer to acquire i2. The i2 Voting Agreements apply to all shares of i2 stock held by the signatories at the record date for the relevant i2 stockholder meeting. The i2 Voting Agreements restrict the transfer of shares by the signatories, except under certain limited conditions.
     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, JDA and i2 entered into voting agreements (the “JDA Voting Agreements” and together with the i2 Voting Agreements, the “Voting Agreements”) with the directors and certain executive officers of JDA, pursuant to which such signatories have agreed to vote in favor of the issuance of the JDA common stock in connection with the Merger and an amendment to the JDA Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized common stock of JDA if a meeting of JDA stockholders is held to consider such proposals. The JDA Voting Agreements apply to all shares of JDA common stock held by the signatories at the record date for the relevant JDA stockholder meeting (if such a

3


 

meeting is held). The JDA Voting Agreements restrict the transfer of shares by the signatories, except under certain limited conditions.
     The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Voting Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Debt Commitment Letter
     Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, (i) JDA received a commitment letter (“Commitment Letter”) from Wells Fargo Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Foothill LLC (together, “Wells Fargo”), pursuant to which, subject to the conditions set forth therein, Wells Fargo committed to provide JDA with up to $140 million of senior secured debt financing, of which $120 million shall constitute a term loan and up to $20 million shall constitute a revolving credit facility (the “Wells Fargo Facilities”). The funds to be received by JDA pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Commitment Letter are to be deposited into escrow, and upon consummation of the Merger, would be used (together with JDA’s and i2’s cash on hand) to fund the obligations of JDA under the Alternative Structure, including the acquisition price, to pay transaction costs, and to provide working capital if the financing for the Intended Structure is not obtained. No amounts will be borrowed under the Commitment Letter under the Intended Structure.
     The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter is included to provide you with information regarding its terms, does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On November 5, 2009, JDA and i2 issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), any shares of Series B 2.5% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series B Preferred Stock”) or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:
          (a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
          (b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub (in each case, other than shares held on behalf of third parties), shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each share of Company Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock owned by any Subsidiary of the Company shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
          (c) Conversion of Company Common Stock.
          (i) Subject to Section 2.1(c)(ii) and Section 2.1(c)(iii) below, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), shall be converted into the right to receive:
               (A) that fraction of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Common Stock equal to 0.5797 (the “Base Exchange Ratio”), which fraction of a share has a value equal to $12.00 based on the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date hereof; and
               (B) $6.00 in cash, without interest (the “Base Common Stock Cash Consideration”).
The combined value of the Base Common Stock Cash Consideration and such fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock at the Base Exchange Ratio (based on the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date hereof) is equal to $18.00.
          (ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(c)(i) above, if the Financing Election is duly made in accordance with Section 5.15, then the Base Exchange Ratio shall be decreased as provided in Section 5.15, and each share of Company Common Stock issued

and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), shall instead be converted into the right to receive:
               (A) that fraction of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Common Stock equal to 0.2562 (the “Adjusted Exchange Ratio”), which fraction of a share has a value equal to $5.30 based on the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date hereof; and
               (B) $12.70 in cash, without interest (the “Adjusted Common Stock Cash Consideration”).
The parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding the foregoing adjustments, the combined value of the Adjusted Common Stock Cash Consideration and a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock at the Adjusted Exchange Ratio (based on the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date hereof) will be equal to $18.00.
If the Financing Election is duly made in accordance with Section 5.15 below, and thereafter, as a result of increases in the market price of the Parent Common Stock or exercises of Company Options following such election, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger pursuant to this Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.3, and Section 2.4 (including the additional shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock issuable in respect of additional shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of Company Options and Company Warrants prior to the Effective Time), would exceed 19.9% (as calculated under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market) of Parent’s issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (19.9% of such issued and outstanding shares rounded down to the nearest whole share, the “Maximum Share Number”), then (1) the Adjusted Exchange Ratio shall be further reduced (the amount of such reduction, the “Exchange Ratio Reduction Number”) to the minimum extent necessary such that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Merger pursuant to this Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.3, and Section 2.4 (including the additional shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock issuable in respect of additional shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of Company Options and Company Warrants prior to the Effective Time), equals the Maximum Share Number, and (2) the Adjusted Common Stock Cash Consideration shall be further increased by an amount in cash equal to the Exchange Ratio Reduction Number multiplied by the Parent Common Stock Market Price; provided, that in no event will the such cash adjustment exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate.
          (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, (A) the Base Exchange Ratio and the Adjusted Exchange Ratio are, as applicable, referred to herein as the “Exchange Ratio,” (B) the fraction of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio is referred to herein as the “Common Stock Share Consideration”; (C) the Base Common Stock Cash Consideration and the Adjusted

Common Stock Cash Consideration are, as applicable, referred to herein as the “Common Stock Cash Consideration,” and (D) the Common Stock Cash Consideration, together with the Common Stock Share Consideration, are together referred to herein as the “Common Stock Merger Consideration.
          (iv) As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Common Stock Certificate”) or non-certificated book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such             shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock become entitled in accordance with this Article II upon surrender of such Common Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b), without interest.
          (d) Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive $1,100.00 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through the Effective Time, in cash, without interest (the “Preferred Stock Merger Consideration,” and together with the Common Stock Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, dividends shall cease to accrue on all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock (each, a “Series B Preferred Stock Certificate” and, together with the Common Stock Certificates, the “Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Series B Preferred Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b), without interest.

Consideration in accordance with this Article II and shall not be used to satisfy any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to pay the aggregate Common Stock Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c), and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient (together with the Company Cash Deposit) to pay (A) the aggregate Common Stock Cash Consideration and any Preferred Stock Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) and 2.1(d), and (B) the aggregate amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i). Such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock provided to the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, are referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund.
          (b) Payment Procedures. Promptly (but in any event within five (5) business Days) after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Exchange of Book-Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with Parent’s customary procedures with respect to certificates represented by book entry. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent), or compliance with Parent’s customary procedures with respect to the exchange of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the amount of cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or 2.1(d), (ii) the shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) representing the number of whole shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (iii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i) and (iv) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j), and the shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the proper number of shares of Parent Company Stock and amount of cash may be issued and paid, as applicable, in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration in respect thereof, cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j). No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

          (c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j) paid and/or issued upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to Section 2.2(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
          (d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay the Merger Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i) and dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j), to such Person in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.
          (e) Termination of Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for 270 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to the Surviving Corporation upon demand. Any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration.
          (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid from the Exchange Fund or delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
          (g) Investment of Exchange Fund. After the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund in U.S. government or other investment grade securities, in each case, maturing in not more than one year, or other investments of comparable liquidity and credit-worthiness as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall be the property of, and shall be paid promptly to, Parent. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly deposit into the Exchange Fund the additional cash required to fully satisfy such payment obligations.
          (h) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, any shares of Company Common Stock or, in the event appraisal rights are available under the DGCL, Series B

Preferred Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by any holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares pursuant to, and has complied in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses its rights to appraisal or it is determined that such holder does not have appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses its right to appraisal, or if it is determined that such holder does not have appraisal rights, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(i) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j), without interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands except as required by applicable Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, unless and to the extent required to do so under applicable Law.
          (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder in respect of all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder at the Effective Time) will be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(i), a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average closing price of the Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five (5) trading day period ending three (3) days prior to the Effective Date (“Parent Common Stock Market Price”). No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.
          (j) Dividends and Distributions; Voting. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger and with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are properly surrendered. Following such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time. Holders of unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any stockholders meeting of Parent the number of whole shares of Parent

Common Stock issuable hereunder in respect of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and Parent agrees to treat holders of unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as holders of record of Parent for purposes of notice and voting.
     Section 2.3 Company Stock Plans.
          (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Company Option, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon a net exercise of such Company Option assuming the market value of the Company Common Stock at the time of such exercise were equal to the value of the Common Stock Merger Consideration as of the close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of clarity, any Company Option with a per-share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the value of the Common Stock Merger Consideration as of the close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto or in respect thereof.  Any Common Stock Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be paid as soon after the Closing Date as shall be practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) days thereafter.
          (b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any RSU, each RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested (except that with respect to any RSU which by the terms of the award agreement pursuant to which it was granted provides for a lesser percentage of such RSU to become vested upon the consummation of the Merger, such RSU shall only become vested as to such lesser percentage), and then shall be canceled and terminated at the Effective Time, and the holder of such vested RSU shall be entitled to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock into which the vested portion of the RSU would otherwise be convertible. The Common Stock Merger Consideration payable in respect of RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be paid as soon after the Closing Date as shall be practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) days thereafter.
          (c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to (i) make any amendments to the terms of, and give any notices required under, the Company Stock Plans and obtain all consents (including all consents necessary to provide that applicable RSUs and Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the Effective Time in the manner described above) that, in each case, are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3, (ii) terminate all Company Stock Plans, such termination to be effective at or before the Effective Time, and (iii) ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any Options, stock appreciation rights, or other agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof (other than the payment of Common Stock Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.3(a)).

9


 

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment may be withheld in respect of any Company Option or RSU until any necessary consents are obtained.
          (d) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger to holders of Company Options or RSUs, but in lieu thereof each holder otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii) or Section 2.3(b) (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder in respect of all Company Options or shares of Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of any vested RSU owned by such holder at the Effective Time) will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Parent Common Stock Market Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share
          (e) The Company shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any party hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding such matters. Parent shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any party hereto to cause the receipt of Parent equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters
     Section 2.4 Treatment of Warrants.
          (a) Parent acknowledges that the consummation of the Merger will constitute a “Change of Control,” as such term is defined in those certain outstanding warrants to purchase Company Common Stock issued under the Purchase Agreement dated as of November 21, 2005 (the “Company Warrants”). Accordingly, at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and, in accordance with Section 3 of such Warrants, shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically into a warrant of Parent (a “Converted Warrant”) pursuant to which each holder thereof will have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Converted Warrant at any time following the Effective Time but prior to the expiration date thereof, the Common Stock Merger Consideration which the holder thereof would have been entitled to receive upon the Effective Time had such Company Warrant been exercised for Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.
          (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to each holder of a Converted Warrant an appropriate notice evidencing the foregoing assumption of the Company Warrant by Parent, and Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent

10


 

Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of the Converted Warrants, including the authorization for listing of such shares on the applicable national securities exchange.
     Section 2.5 Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as shall be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
     Section 2.6 Adjustments. If during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration, including the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change to afford the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all such Permits, and all such Permits are in full force and effect, except where such suspension or cancellation would not be reasonably expected to constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.
          (c) No event or condition has occurred or exists which would result in a violation of, breach, default or loss of a benefit under, or acceleration of an obligation of the

18


 

Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, any Permit (in each case, with or without notice or lapse of time or both), except for violations, breaches, defaults, losses or accelerations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

All Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries due and owing have been timely paid (whether or not shown to be due on such Tax Returns), except (i) with respect to matters contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP and (ii) where such failure to so pay or remit, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

          (o) For purposes of this Agreement: (i) “Taxes” shall mean (a) all federal, state, local or foreign taxes, charges, fees, imposts, levies or other assessments, including all net income, gross receipts, capital, sales, use, ad valorem, value added, transfer, franchise, profits, inventory, capital stock, license, withholding, payroll, employment, social security, unemployment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation and property taxes, customs duties and similar fees, assessments and charges, (b) all interest, penalties, fines, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by any taxing authority in connection with any item described in clauses (a) or (b), and (c) any amounts in respect of any items described in clauses (a) and/or (b) payable by reason of contract, assumption, transferee liability, operation of Law, Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof of any analogous or similar provision under Law) or otherwise, and (ii) “Tax Returns” shall mean any return, report, claim for refund, estimate, information return or statement, election or other similar document, including any schedule or attachment thereto, and including any amendment thereof, required by Tax Law to be filed with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes.

          (a) Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list, separately with respect to each country in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has employees, of: (i) all “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and without regard to whether ERISA applies thereto), and (ii) all other employee benefit plans, agreements, policies or arrangements, including employment, consulting or other compensation agreements, collective bargaining agreements and all plans, agreements, policies or arrangements providing for bonus or other incentive compensation, equity or equity-based compensation, retirement, deferred compensation, retention or change in control rights or benefits, termination or severance benefits, stock purchase, sick leave, vacation pay, salary continuation, hospitalization, medical insurance, life insurance, fringe benefits or other compensation, or educational assistance, in each case to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation or liability (contingent or otherwise) thereunder for current or former directors or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Employees”) or any current or former consultants to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Plans”). Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule indicates each Company Plan that is maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States, or covers any employee residing or working outside the United States (any such Company Plan, a “Foreign Benefit Plan,” any Company Plan that is not a Foreign Benefit Plan being called a “Domestic Benefit Plan”).
          (b) True, current and complete copies of the following documents, with respect to each of the Company Plans, have been made available to Parent by the Company, to the extent applicable: (i) any plans, all amendments thereto and related trust documents, insurance contracts or other funding arrangements, and amendments thereto; (ii) for the most recent two years, Forms 5500 and all schedules thereto and the most recent actuarial report, if

21


 

any; (iii) the most recent IRS determination letter; (iv) the most recent summary plan descriptions (together with any summary or summaries of modifications thereto); (v) written descriptions of all non-written material agreements relating to the Company Plans and (vi) all material correspondence to or from any governmental Authority within the last three years.
          (c) The Domestic Benefit Plans have been maintained, in all material respects, in accordance with their terms and with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to the Domestic Benefit Plans has engaged in a material non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA. No fiduciary has any material liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any Domestic Benefit Plan; provided that this sentence is subject to the Knowledge of the Company to the extent that any Domestic Benefit Plan refers to a Plan fiduciary other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary, or (iii) or any of their respective officers, employees and directors.
          (d) Each Domestic Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and (ii) any trusts intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501 of the Code are so exempt. Nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of such Domestic Benefit Plans that could cause the loss of such tax favored treatment, qualification or exemption, or the imposition of any material liability, penalty or Tax under ERISA, the Code or other applicable Law that, if corrected under the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, could reasonably be expected to give rise to a material liability.
          (e) No plan currently or ever in the past maintained, sponsored, contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of Company’s ERISA Affiliates is or ever in the past was (i) a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, (ii) a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or (iii) a plan subject to Section 412 of the Code. The term “ERISA Affiliate” means any Person that, together with the Company, would be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code.
          (f) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no Company Plan provides for the payment of any severance or retention payment (or the settlement of any award) on account of the severance of any “service provider” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) such that the payment (or settlement) would be treated as deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code that would subject any Person to tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code based upon a good faith interpretation of all applicable regulations, notices and regulatory guidance. The exercise price of each Company Option is not less than the fair market value (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) of the underlying stock on the date the Company Option was granted.
          (g) Except as would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a material liability, (i) all contributions (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction

22

Parent has not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls which have not been subsequently remediated. Parent is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would prevent its chief executive officer and chief financial officer from giving the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, without qualification, when next due.

          (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(d), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall

          (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, or cause or authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger, acquisition, purchase or joint venture agreement or other agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(b)) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the time that the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained (but in no event after obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval) (x) the Board of Directors of the Company (or committee thereof) may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors (or committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under the applicable Law, and, with respect to any recommendation of a Takeover Proposal, the Board (or committee thereof) determines in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (y) if the Company receives a Takeover Proposal that was not initiated, solicited, facilitated or encouraged in violation of this Agreement and that the Board of Directors (or committee thereof) determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors (or committee thereof) may, in response to such Superior Proposal after the expiration of the five business day period described below, cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal but only if the Company shall have concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) and prior thereto or concurrently therewith paid the Company Termination Fee required pursuant to Section 7.3, but in any event only after the fifth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice (the “Notice”) from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) is prepared to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement (it being understood that the Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice in respect of any revised Superior Proposal (other than immaterial revisions) from such third party or its Affiliates that the Company proposes to accept, attaching the most current version of such agreement to such Notice and including the other information required by Section 5.3(c) (which information shall be updated on a current basis)), and only if at the end of such five business day period, after taking into account any revised terms as may have been

54


 

proposed by Parent in writing (and not withdrawn) since its receipt of such Notice, the Board of Directors of the Company (or committee thereof) has again in good faith made the determination referred to above in this clause (y).
          (e) For purposes of this Agreement:
          “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries) equal to 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues on a consolidated basis for the then preceding four completed and publicly reported calendar quarters are attributable, (B) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of 20% or more of the Company Common Stock, (C) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning 20% or more of the Company Common Stock or (D) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; in each case, other than the Transactions.
          “Superior Proposal” means a written Takeover Proposal made by a third party and not initiated, solicited, facilitated or encouraged in violation of this Agreement, which is on terms and conditions which the Board of Directors of the Company (or committee thereof) determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with the Financial Advisor or another financial advisor of national reputation) to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view (taking into account all terms and conditions of the Takeover Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and financial terms, and the ability of the Person making such proposal to consummate the transactions contemplated by such proposal, based upon, among other things, the availability of financing and the expectation of obtaining required approvals) than the Merger and the other Transactions, taking into account at the time of determination any changes to the terms of this Agreement that as of that time had been proposed by Parent in writing (and not withdrawn), except that the reference to “20%” in the definition of “Takeover Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”.
          (f) Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Board of Directors of the Company from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act if such Board of Directors determines in good faith, after receiving the advice of outside counsel, that failure to so disclose such position would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or modifying the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or the approval of this Agreement by the Board of Directors of the Company, Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement to the extent set forth in Section 7.1(c)(iii) of this Agreement.

     Section 5.4 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.
          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper and advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party shall: (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable and supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act; (ii) make any additional filings required by any applicable Competition Law and take all other actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act or other Competition Laws as promptly as practicable; and (iii) subject to applicable Laws relating to access to and the exchange of information, use its reasonable best efforts to (A) cooperate with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry under or relating to any Competition Law; (B) keep the other parties informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions; and (C) permit the other parties hereto to review in advance any communication intended to be given by it to, and consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any such other Governmental Authority, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Authority, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences. To the extent permitted by Law, Parent shall have the right to direct all matters relating to compliance with Competition Laws in connection with any Transaction.
          (b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Section 5.4(a), but subject to Section 5.4(c), in the event that any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceeding, claim, suit or action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party under any Competition Laws challenging any of the Transactions or in the event that any Governmental Authority shall otherwise object to any of the Transactions, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts: (A) to vigorously defend, contest and resist any such proceeding, claim, suit, action or challenge; (B) to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions; and (C) to resolve objections.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates be obligated to, and the Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, enter into any consent decree, make any divestiture, accept any operational restriction or take or commit to take any action that would reasonably be expected to limit: (i) the freedom of action of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates with respect to the operation of, or Parent’s ability to retain, the Company or any businesses, product lines or assets of the Company, or

56


 

(ii) Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ ability to retain, own or operate any portion of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or alter or restrict in any way the business or commercial practices of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Company or its Subsidiaries (any such event, a “Burdensome Condition”).
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) or (ii) so long as such party has up to then complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.4.
          (e) Neither the Company, Parent or Merger Sub shall take any action that would result in any state takeover statute or similar Law becoming applicable to any of the Transactions. If any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions.
     Section 5.5 Stockholders Meetings.
          (a) Subject to Section 5.5(c), the Company shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) solely for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.3(d), the Company shall, through its Board of Directors, make the Company Board Recommendation and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Company will (i) use all reasonable efforts to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement and (ii) subject to Section 5.3(d), take all other reasonable action necessary to secure the Company Stockholder Approval. Except to the extent required by Law, the Company shall not (A) change the date specified in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the Company Stockholders Meeting, or (B) postpone, delay or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting, except, in each case, after consultation with Parent, to the extent necessary to ensure that any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus required by applicable Law (or contemplated by Section 5.15) is provided to the stockholders of the Company sufficiently in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting or if there are an insufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Company Stockholders Meeting to constitute a quorum or adopt this Agreement or, if the Parent Stockholders Meeting is adjourned in accordance with Section 5.5(b), in order to comply with Section 5.5(c), in which case the Company may adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a quorum and/or the Company Stockholder Approval as promptly as practicable in the prevailing circumstances.
          (b) Subject to Section 5.5(c) and Section 5.15, Parent shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”) solely for the purposes of considering and voting upon (i) the issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (the “Issuance Proposal”), (ii) the amendment of the Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Parent Common Stock to a number to be reasonably determined by Parent which shall be no less than

57


 

the number sufficient to consummate the Transactions (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) at Parent’s discretion, to increase the number of shares authorized for grant under the Parent Stock Plans (the “Plan Amendment Proposal”). The Board of Directors of Parent shall recommend approval of the Issuance Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal by the stockholders of Parent and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Neither the Board of Directors of Parent nor any committee thereof shall qualify, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Company, or propose publicly to qualify, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Company, the Parent Board Recommendation other than a withdrawal of the Parent Board Recommendation in connection with the cancellation of the Parent Stockholders Meeting as contemplated by Section 5.15 or as otherwise required by Law. Subject to the foregoing, Parent will use all reasonable efforts to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor of, and take all other reasonable action necessary to secure, the Parent Stockholder Approval. Except to the extent required by Law, Parent shall not (A) change the date specified in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the Parent Stockholders Meeting, or (B) postpone, delay or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting, except, in each case, after consultation with the Company, to the extent necessary to ensure that any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus required by applicable Law is provided to the stockholders of Parent sufficiently in advance of the Parent Stockholders Meeting or if there are an insufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Parent Stockholders Meeting to constitute a quorum or adopt this Agreement or, if the Company Stockholders Meeting is adjourned in accordance with Section 5.5(a), in order to comply with Section 5.5(c), in which case the Company may adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a quorum and/or the Parent Stockholder Approval as promptly as practicable in the prevailing circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent has duly made a Financing Election pursuant to Section 5.15, Parent may nevertheless establish a record date for, duly call, and give notice to its stockholders of a Parent Stockholders Meeting solely for the purposes of considering and voting upon the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal.
          (c) The parties will consult with one another to coordinate record, mailing and meeting dates for the Company Stockholders Meeting and (subject to Section 5.15) the Parent Stockholders Meeting, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Stockholders Meeting and (subject to Section 5.15) the Parent Stockholders Meeting to be held, as soon as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective. Unless the Company and Parent mutually agree, (i) neither the Company nor Parent shall distribute the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its stockholders until the net proceeds of the Debt Financing or the Financing are deposited in escrow or released to Parent as required by Section 5.14 or 5.15, as the case may be, (ii) the parties shall not establish record, mailing or meeting dates prior to the Financing Election Deadline, and (iii) the Parent Stockholders Meeting and the Company Stockholders Meeting shall be held on the same date. Notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 5.5(c), if (A) the Company has received a proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact, or any information is requested from the Company, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, in each case in respect of any Takeover Proposal, and (B) Parent notifies the Company pursuant to the last two sentences of Section 5.15(a) that it has either completed or terminated its efforts to secure the Financing, the parties shall promptly and within three (3) business days thereof, establish record, mailing and meeting dates, which dates should be as soon as reasonably feasible thereafter.

     Section 5.6 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Thereafter and prior to the Effective Time, neither the Company nor Parent shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except (i) as may be required by Law (including, without limitation, as permitted by Section 5.3(f)) or by any applicable listing agreement with a national securities exchange as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party) or (ii) for press releases or announcements to be issued with respect to actions taken by the Company or its Board of Directors as permitted by and in accordance with Section 5.3.

          (a) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including applicable Competition Laws) and the Confidentiality Agreement, each party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the other party and its Representatives reasonable access after providing reasonable prior written notice, during normal business hours to all of such party’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, assets, books, Contracts, commitments, electronic and physical records, correspondence (including electronic correspondence), officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives and shall furnish (or otherwise make available, including through the SEC EDGAR system) promptly to the other party (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document (A) filed, furnished or received by it or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws or (B) filed or furnished by it or any of its Subsidiaries with any Governmental Authority with respect to compliance with applicable Laws and (ii) all other information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require any party or any of its Subsidiaries to provide access to any item that contains confidential information that such party is obligated to any third party to maintain the confidentiality of.
          (b) Except for disclosures permitted by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of September 17, 2009 between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), each party and its Representatives shall hold information received from the other party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.7 in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect following execution (or termination) of this Agreement, provided that, solely with respect to communications relating to the Merger, this Agreement and the Transactions made in compliance therewith, this Section 5.7 hereof shall supersede any conflicting provision of the Confidentiality Agreement.
          (c) No investigation by the Company or Parent or their respective representatives or advisors prior to or after the date of this Agreement shall diminish, obviate or

59


 

cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise affect such Person’s rights under Articles I, VI and VII of this Agreement.
     Section 5.8 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause any representation or warranty made by such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.3(a) would not be satisfied and (iv) any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(b) or 6.3(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not (x) be considered an admission that any representation or warranty is untrue for purposes of Article VI or Article VII, (y) cure any breach or non-compliance with any other provision of this Agreement or (z) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice; provided, further, that the failure to deliver any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not be considered in determining whether the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) or 6.3(b) has been satisfied or the related termination right in Article VII is available except to the extent that a party hereto is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
     Section 5.9 Indemnification and Insurance.
          (a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation) indemnify the individuals who at or prior to the Effective Time were directors or officers of the Company (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by (A) the Company Charter Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement, (B) any applicable contract as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (C) applicable Law; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for such Indemnitee’s criminal conduct or fraud.
          (b) Parent will provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees (as defined to mean those persons currently insured under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policy) with an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of

60


 

300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance, provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation may fulfill its obligation to provide insurance under this Section 5.9(b) by obtaining a prepaid “tail” policy of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and condition which are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the insured than the existing policy, and maintaining such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of at least six (6) years.
          (c) The Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9. The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.
          (d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.
     Section 5.10 Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of, and the opportunity to participate in, the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
     Section 5.11 Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, and except as otherwise contemplated under Section 7.3 of the Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall share equally (a) the filing fee of Parent’s pre-merger notification report under the HSR Act and all fees and expenses incurred by Parent or the Company in seeking approvals under all other applicable Competition Laws, and (b) all fees and expenses, other than accountants’ and attorneys’ fees, incurred with respect to the printing, filing and mailing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto.
     Section 5.12 Employee Benefits.
          (a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.12(d) hereof, for a period of time of at least one year following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each employee who continues employment with the Surviving Corporation (a “Continuing Employee”) with combined aggregate pay (which shall include rates of base salary or wages and annual bonus opportunities) and employee benefits comparable to the pay and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates, provided that for such purposes of this covenant, stock options and other equity awards shall be disregarded.

61


 

          (b) Continuing Employees shall also be provided credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such Continuing Employees, under (i) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits (other than stock option and other equity award programs) arrangements to be provided to such employees for purposes of eligibility and vesting, (ii) severance plans, programs and policies to be provided to such employees for purposes of calculating the amount of each such employee’s severance benefits and (iii) vacation and sick leave plans, programs and policies for purposes of calculating the amount of each such employee’s vacation and sick leave, except, in each case, as would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to each employee benefit plan, program or policy of Parent or its Subsidiaries that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, and without regard to whether ERISA applies thereto) in which Continuing Employees participate following the Effective Time, Parent or its Subsidiaries shall cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition limitations. In addition, to the extent permissible under the terms of such plan, if the effective time at which a Continuing Employee participates in any such plan falls within an annual period of coverage under such plan, each Continuing Employee shall be given credit for covered expenses paid by that Continuing Employee and his or her dependents under comparable Company plans during the applicable coverage period through such effective time toward satisfaction of any annual deductible limitation and out-of-pocket maximum that may apply under that plan of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries.
          (c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume and either shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, discharge the obligations under each employment, severance or retention agreement (including the establishment and funding of any related rabbi trust) listed in Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.12 shall impede or limit Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates from terminating any of their employees at any time for any reason or no reason, subject to the provisions of applicable Law.
          (e) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall not terminate any plan intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that one or more of the 401(k) Plans should be terminated effective no later than the last day of the payroll period immediately preceding the Closing Date. If Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than seven (7) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent (i) copies of duly adopted resolutions by the Company’s Board of Directors authorizing the termination of such 401(k) Plans and (ii) with respect to each 401(k) Plan, an executed amendment to the 401(k) Plan sufficient to assure compliance with all applicable requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder so that the tax-qualified status of the 401(k) Plan shall be maintained at the time of termination. The form and substance of such resolutions and amendment shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent.
          (f) The provisions of this Section 5.12 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party

62


 

beneficiary of this Section 5.12 and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Plan for any purpose.
     Section 5.13 NASDAQ Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article II to be approved for listing upon the Effective Time on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.
     Section 5.14 Debt Financing.
          (a) Until such time as Parent duly makes a Financing Election in accordance with Section 5.15, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things commercially necessary, proper or advisable to maintain in effect the Commitment Letter.
          (b) From and after the earlier of (i) the date Parent delivers notice to the Company pursuant to the last two sentences of Section 5.15(a), or (ii) the Financing Election Deadline if Parent does not deliver such a notice and does not duly make a Financing Election under Section 5.15 below, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things commercially necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including commercially reasonable efforts to (A) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub to obtaining the Debt Financing, (B) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contained in, or consistent in all material respects with, the Commitment Letter, and (C) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing. In addition, Parent shall ensure that the net proceeds of the Debt Financing have been deposited into escrow, or otherwise released to Parent, in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing, or will be deposited into escrow, or otherwise released to Parent, in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing, by no later than the earlier of January 8, 2010 or the date upon which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company and, if deposited into escrow, the terms of the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing do not impose any material conditions on the release of such net proceeds from escrow other than the consummation of the Merger as provided in this Agreement and the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. Parent shall (1) keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing, (2) give the Company prompt notice (x) of any material breach by any Lender under the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements relating thereto of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (y) if and when Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware that any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter is not available to consummate the Transactions, and (z) of any termination of the Commitment Letter, and (3) provide to the Company copies of executed copies of the definitive agreements relating thereto (with confidential fee terms redacted). In the event that all conditions to the Debt Financing have been or, upon funding will be, satisfied, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which may include, in Parent’s discretion after consultation with the Company, the pursuit of any claim or action for specific performance of the terms of the Debt Financing) to cause the Lenders and any other lenders involved therein to fund on the Closing Date the Debt Financing required to consummate the Merger and related Transactions.

63


 

     Section 5.15 Financing Election. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:
          (a) Until December 18, 2009 or such later date as may be mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company (the “Financing Election Deadline”), Parent may engage in efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt (including high yield debt) financing or (subject to Section 5.2(b)(i) above) equity financing for purposes of enabling Parent to elect to make the Financing Election as provided below in this Section 5.15 and adjust the Common Stock Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii), in each case in such amounts as Parent may determine (subject to Section 5.15(c)). In the event Parent determines to attempt to arrange alternative financing in accordance with the preceding sentence, Parent shall promptly disclose to the Company its intention to obtain such alternative financing, shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain the alternative financing and of the terms thereof and shall deliver to the Company final drafts of any commitment or engagement letter with respect to such alternative financing. At any time prior to making the Financing Election, Parent may, and, upon Parent’s determination made at any time prior to the Financing Election Deadline that it will not make a Financing Election, Parent will, give the Company written notice of its determination to proceed with the Debt Financing and to discontinue its efforts to arrange for alternative financing and, pursuant to Section 5.6, Parent and the Company shall make appropriate public disclosure of such determination. If Parent gives the Company written notice as provided in the previous sentence, the remaining provisions of Section 5.15 shall no longer apply.
          (b) On or prior to the Financing Election Deadline, Parent may elect to reduce the Base Exchange Ratio (the “Financing Election”) by delivering to the Company a notice (the “Election Notice”) of such election and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Section 5.15. Parent may make the Financing Election and deliver an Election Notice on only one occasion. The Election Notice shall be in writing and shall:
          (i) State that Parent irrevocably and unconditionally elects to reduce the Base Exchange Ratio as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii);
          (ii) Confirm that the representations set forth in Section 5.15(e) are true and correct in all respects as of the date of such Election Notice;
          (iii) Set forth (A) the amount of net proceeds to be provided by the Financing, (B) the Adjusted Exchange Ratio and the Adjusted Common Stock Cash Consideration, and (C) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued and the total amount of cash to be paid in respect of the Company Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in the Merger;
          (iv) Be accompanied by copies of fully executed definitive agreements (with confidential fee terms redacted) (the “Financing Agreements”) pursuant to which the investors, purchasers, lenders party or escrow agents thereto agree to provide or have provided to Parent, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the amounts set forth therein (the “Financing”), and either agree to deposit or have deposited such amounts

64

This Stockholder Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 4, 2009, by and among JDA Software Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (only with respect to Section 2(b) and 3(c) hereof), and the undersigned stockholder (“Stockholder”) of the Company.
Recitals
A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Parent, Alpha Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with its terms ( the Merger, Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby referred to collectively as the “Proposed Transaction”).
B. Stockholder has sole voting power over such number of shares of each class of capital stock of the Company beneficially owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) by Stockholder as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.
C. In consideration of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, Stockholder desires to agree to vote the Shares (as defined herein) over which Stockholder has sole voting power so as to facilitate the consummation of the Merger.
Now, Therefore, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
          1. Certain Definitions.
               (a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
               “Consent” shall mean any approval, consent, ratification, permission, waiver or authorization (including any: (i) permit, license, certificate, franchise, permission, variance, clearance, registration, qualification or authorization issued, granted, given or otherwise made available by or under the authority of any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any Legal Requirement; or (ii) right under any Contract with any Governmental Authority).
               “Legal Requirement” shall mean any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other law, statute, constitution, principle of common law, resolution, ordinance, code, edict, decree, rule, regulation, ruling or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Authority (or under the authority of The NASDAQ Stock Market).
               “Person” means any individual, corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, association, joint venture, governmental entity and other entity and group (which term will include a “group” as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act).

 


 

               “Shares” means (i) all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned, beneficially or of record, by Stockholder as of the date hereof, and (ii) all additional outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by Stockholder, beneficially or of record, during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as such term is defined in Section 7 below), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) as to which (and only as to which) Stockholder has sole voting power; but in each case excluding shares of capital stock of the Company that, by virtue of Stockholder’s ownership of options or other convertible securities, are deemed to be beneficially owned by Stockholder pursuant to Rules 13d-3(d)(1)(i)(A) or (B) prior to the time at which Stockholder exercises such options or other convertible securities and receives the underlying capital stock of the Company.
               “Transfer” means, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or the gift, placement in trust, or other disposition of such security (excluding transfers: (i) by testamentary or intestate succession, (ii) otherwise by operation of law, or (iii) under any written trading plan adopted prior to the date of this Agreement under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act) or any right, title or interest therein (including, but not limited to, any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing.
     2. Transfer and Voting Restrictions.
               (a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, except in connection with the Merger, Transfer any of the Shares, or enter into an agreement, commitment or other arrangement with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Stockholder may Transfer any or all of the Shares (i) by will, or by operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (ii) in connection with estate and charitable planning purposes, including Transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, or (iii) to any other Person, so long as, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), the transferee, prior to such Transfer executes a counterpart of this Agreement (with such modifications as Parent may reasonably request solely to reflect such transfer).
               (b) Stockholder understands and agrees that if Stockholder attempts to Transfer, vote or provide any other person with the authority to vote any of the Shares other than in compliance with this Agreement, the Company shall not, and Stockholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably instructs the Company to not, (i) permit any such Transfer on its books and records, (ii) issue a new certificate representing any of the Shares or (iii) record such vote, in each case, unless and until Stockholder shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement. Each stock certificate evidencing Shares that is issued in the name of Stockholder on or after the date of this Agreement shall bear a legend indicating that such Shares are subject to the terms of this Agreement and any transferee of the Shares evidenced by the stock certificate takes the Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement.
               (c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Stockholder will not commit any act that could restrict or affect Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares then owned of record or beneficially by Stockholder or otherwise prevent or disable Stockholder from performing any of his obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Stockholder will not enter into any voting agreement with any

     3. Agreement to Vote Shares. No Redemption
               (a) Prior to the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as such) shall appear at the meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and, to the extent not voted by the Persons appointed as proxies pursuant to this Agreement, vote (i) in favor of (A) approval of the Proposed Transaction, and (B) any adjournment or postponement recommended by the Company with respect to any stockholder meeting in connection with the Proposed Transaction, (ii) against the approval or adoption of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Proposed Transaction, and (iii) against any of the following (to the extent unrelated to the Proposed Transaction): (A) any merger, consolidation or business combination involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the Proposed Transaction; (B) any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (C) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (D) any other action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to otherwise impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.
               (b) If Stockholder is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of the Shares, Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to vote all of the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a).
               (c) The Company agrees that it shall not redeem, or call for redemption (and it hereby waives its right to do so under the Certificate of Designation relating to the Shares), any of the Shares until after the termination of the merger Agreement.
     4. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy.
               (a) Stockholder hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) grants to, and appoints, Parent and each of its executive officers and any of them, in their capacities as officers of Parent (the “Grantees”), as Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and re-substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of Stockholder, to vote the Shares, to instruct nominees or record holders to vote the Shares, or grant a consent or approval or dissent or disapproval in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 3 hereof and, in the discretion of the Grantees, with respect to any proposed adjournments or postponements of any meeting of stockholders of the Company at which any of the matters described in Section 3 hereof is to be considered.
               (b) Stockholder represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares that may still be in effect are not irrevocable, and such proxies are hereby revoked.

     6. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder.
               (a) Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: (i) Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner of the shares of capital stock of the Company indicated on the signature page of this Agreement free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, security interests, mortgage, claims, charges, restrictions, options, title defects or encumbrances, in each case that would impair or adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, other than those encumbrances which are in favor of the Company (provided Parent shall have been provided with copies of the relevant documentation related thereto) ; (ii) Stockholder does not beneficially own any securities of the Company other than the shares of capital stock and rights to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company set forth on the signature page of this Agreement; (iii) Stockholder has full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to grant the irrevocable proxy as set forth in Section 4; and (iv) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Stockholder enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to rights of creditors generally and (y) rules of law and equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Stockholder agrees to notify Parent promptly of any additional shares of capital stock of the Company of which Stockholder becomes the beneficial owner after the date of this Agreement.
               (b) As of the date hereof and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect (including as of the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, which, for purposes of this Agreement, includes any adjournment or postponement thereof), except for this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Stockholder has full legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares then owned of record or beneficially by Stockholder, in favor of the approval and authorization of the Proposed Transaction without the consent or approval of, or any other action on the part of, any other Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity).

               (c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Stockholder of Stockholder’s agreements and obligations hereunder will not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree, law, regulation or arrangement to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder (or any of Stockholder’s assets) is bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not impair or adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement or render inaccurate any of the representations made by Stockholder herein.
               (d) Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of Stockholder contained herein.
     7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate (a) upon the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, or (b) at any time upon notice by Parent to Stockholder, or (c) upon any amendment of the Merger Agreement, other than any amendment that does not directly or indirectly adversely affect the consideration to be received by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, without Stockholder’s prior written consent (such date under (a), (b) or (c) hereof constituting the “Expiration Date.”); provided, however, that Section 3(c) shall survive any such termination. No party hereto shall be relieved from any liability for breach of this Agreement by reason of any termination of this Agreement.
     8. Confidentiality.

In this connection, pending public disclosure thereof, and so that Parent and the Company may rely on the safe harbor provisions of Rule 100(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation FD, Stockholder hereby agrees not to disclose or discuss such matters with anyone not a party to this Agreement (other than its counsel and advisors, if any) without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company, except for disclosures Stockholder’s counsel advises are necessary to fulfill any Legal Requirement, in which case Stockholder shall give notice of such disclosure to Parent and the Company as promptly as practicable so as to enable Parent and the Company to seek a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction with respect thereto.

     9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

5


 

               (d) Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of the State of Delaware, and (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, Stockholder’s estate and heirs upon the death of Stockholder; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by any of the parties hereto without prior written consent of the other parties hereto except that Parent, without obtaining the consent of any other party hereto, shall be entitled to assign this Agreement or all or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any one or more of its Affiliates. No assignment by Parent under this Section 9(f) shall relieve Parent of its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement in violation of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect.
               (g) No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
               (h) Cooperation. Stockholder agrees to cooperate fully with Parent and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Parent to evidence or reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement. Stockholder hereby agrees that Parent and the Company may publish and disclose in the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and may further file this Agreement as an exhibit to any filing made by Parent or the Company with the SEC relating to the Proposed Transaction.
               (i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
               (j) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent and the Company will be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by Stockholder could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Parent or the Company may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to seek to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Parent, Alpha Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with its terms ( the Merger, Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby referred to collectively as the “Proposed Transaction”).

          (a) Stockholder hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) grants to, and appoints, Parent and each of its executive officers and any of them, in their capacities as officers of Parent (the “Grantees”), as Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and re-substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of Stockholder, to vote the Shares, to instruct nominees or record holders to vote the Shares, or grant a consent or approval or dissent or disapproval in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 3 hereof and, in the discretion of the Grantees, with respect to any proposed adjournments or postponements of any meeting of stockholders of the Company at which any of the matters described in Section 3 hereof is to be considered.

          (i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
          (j) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent and the Company will be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by Stockholder could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.

6


 

be entitled to seek to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

ANNEX A
Syndication Provisions
While WFF has provided a commitment for the entire amount of the Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet, the Joint Lead Arrangers intend, and reserve the right, to syndicate the Facility to lenders identified by Joint Lead Arrangers in consultation with you; provided, however, that any assignment made prior to the Escrow Funding Date shall not relieve WFF of its obligations hereunder to the extent that an assignee breaches its obligation to fund its ratable share of the Term Loan on the Escrow Funding Date (provided that WFF shall not have any obligation with respect to any breach by an assignee that occurs after the Escrow Funding Date).
JDA agrees to include a covenant in the definitive acquisition agreement for the Acquisition in which the Company agrees to cooperate in such syndication process and assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in forming a syndicate acceptable to them.
On or prior to December 2, 2009, JDA shall notify WFF in writing whether (or not) JDA has made the Financing Election pursuant to Section 5.15 of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Financing Election”).
If JDA notifies WFF that JDA has not made the Financing Election, the commencement of the syndication shall begin on the date (such date, the “Syndication Commencement Date”) that is the earlier of (a) the date that the Joint Lead Arrangers have received such notice; and (b) December 2, 2009; provided, however, that it is a condition to WFF’s commitments hereunder that Joint Lead Arrangers shall have a period (commencing on the date after delivery of the final Marketing Materials and the hosting of the Lender Meeting) of not less than 15 consecutive business days prior to the Escrow Funding Date to seek to syndicate the Facility (it being understood and agreed that a Successful Syndication is not a condition to WFF’s commitments hereunder); provided further, however, that, JDA shall have no obligation to assist in preparing the Marketing Materials until on and after the date that is December 10, 2009 so long as the Escrow Funding Date does not occur on or before the date that 10 consecutive business days after the preparation of such Marketing Materials.
If JDA notifies WFF on or prior to December 2, 2009 that JDA has made the Financing Election or if JDA fails to provide any notice relative to the Financing Election prior to December 2, 2009 or otherwise, JDA understands and agrees that it is a condition to WFF’s commitments hereunder that Joint Lead Arrangers shall have a period (commencing on the date after delivery of the final Marketing Materials and the hosting of the Lender Meeting) of not less than 20 consecutive business days prior to the Escrow Funding Date to seek to syndicate the Facility (it being understood and agreed that a Successful Syndication is not a condition to WFF’s commitments hereunder).
JDA agrees to (a) cooperate in the syndication process and to assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in forming a syndicate acceptable to them; and (b) prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to cooperate in such syndication process and assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in forming a syndicate acceptable to them. After the consummation of the Acquisition, JDA shall cause the Company to cooperate in such syndication process and to assist the Joint Lead Arrangers in forming a syndicate acceptable to them.
The assistance of JDA and Company shall include but will not be limited to:

information memorandum that includes information with respect to JDA, the Company, and the Transaction as either Joint Lead Arranger may reasonably request, including the Projections relative to JDA and the Company and their respective subsidiaries, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Joint Lead Arrangers (the “Marketing Materials”), and (c) a version of the Marketing Materials (the “Public Information Materials”) that does not contain Projections or other material non-public information concerning JDA, the Company, their respective affiliates or either of their respective securities for purposes of the United States federal and state securities laws (“Material Non-Public Information”). You hereby represent and warrant that, (i) all information included in the Marketing Materials (other than Projections) that has been or is hereafter made available to either Joint Lead Arranger by or behalf of you, the Company (at your request), or any of your or its representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, and (ii) the Projections concerning JDA and the Company and their respective subsidiaries that have been or will be made available to either Joint Lead Arranger by or on behalf of you, the Company (at your request) or any of your or its representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Facility, the Joint Lead Arrangers may use and rely on the Marketing Materials without independent verification thereof and that you will promptly notify the Joint Lead Arrangers of any changes in circumstances that could be expected to call into question the continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying the Projections concerning JDA and the Company and their respective subsidiaries. On the reasonable request of either Joint Lead Arranger, you further agree to update the Marketing Materials as necessary during the syndication process so as to cause the foregoing representations and warranties to continue to be true and correct.
Before distribution of any Marketing Materials (a) to prospective lenders that do not wish to receive Material Non-Public Information concerning JDA, the Company, their respective affiliates or either of their respective securities (such lenders, “Public Lenders”, all other lenders, “Private Lenders”), you agree (and prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company, and after the consummation of the Acquisition, you agree to cause the Company) to provide the Joint Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of Material Non-Public Information therein and (b) to prospective Private Lenders, you agree (and you agree to cause the Company) to provide the Joint Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of those materials. In addition, at the request of either Joint Lead Arranger, you and the Company will identify Public Information Materials by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC.” You agree (and you agree to cause the Company to agree) that either Joint Lead Arranger may distribute the following documents to all prospective lenders, unless you advise us in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders: (i) administrative materials for prospective lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, and (ii) other materials intended for prospective lenders after the initial distribution of the Marketing Materials, including drafts and final versions of the definitive documentation for the Facility. If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then each Joint Lead Arranger agrees not to distribute such materials to Public Lenders without your prior written consent (including by email).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Persons (as defined in the Commitment Letter) from and against (i) any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements, (ii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof, and (iii) any and all reasonable legal or other costs, expenses or disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in which any of the Indemnified Persons is a party) and including, without limitation, any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements, resulting from any act or omission of any of the Indemnified Persons), directly or indirectly, caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (a) the Transaction, (b) the Commitment Letter or the Facility, or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or omissions or alleged omissions in, information furnished by Indemnifying Party or the Company, or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or any other person in connection with the Transaction or the Commitment Letter; provided, however, such indemnity agreement shall not apply to any portion of any such loss, claim, damage, obligation, penalty, judgment, award, liability, cost, expense or disbursement of an Indemnified Person to the extent it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.
These Indemnification Provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Persons.
If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any of the Indemnified Persons proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by any of the Indemnified Persons to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder. In connection with any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation to which a WFF Indemnified Person is a party, WFF, on behalf of the WFF Indemnified Persons, shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice to represent the WFF Indemnified Persons, and each Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursement of such counsel, and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with each Indemnifying Party and any counsel designated by such Indemnifying Party.

the Indemnified Persons made with its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without the prior written consent of WFF, no Indemnifying Party shall settle or compromise any claim of any WFF Indemnified Person, permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof. Without the prior written consent of WFS, no Indemnifying Party shall settle or compromise any claim of any WFS Indemnified Person, permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these Indemnification Provisions is made but is found by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements to which the Indemnified Persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons collectively and in the aggregate, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Indemnified Persons shall be obligated to contribute any amount hereunder that exceeds the amount of fees previously received by such Indemnified Person pursuant to the Commitment Letter.
Neither expiration nor termination of WFF’s commitments under the Commitment Letter or funding or repayment of the loans under the Facility shall affect these Indemnification Provisions which shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE   at End of Release
JDA Software Group to Acquire i2 Technologies
    Acquisition establishes leading global provider of supply chain management software with more than 6,000 customers; Expands JDA’s addressable market to include Discrete Manufacturing and extends leadership in Transportation
 
    Combined revenues approximate $617 million (on a trailing twelve-month basis) with a broad, seamless portfolio of products and services for the Manufacturing, Wholesale Distribution, Retail and Services Industries
 
    Transaction expected to be accretive in 2010; $20 million of net, near-term financial synergies
 
    Transaction scheduled to close in first quarter 2010; structured to ensure a high degree of completion certainty
Scottsdale, Arizona and Dallas, Texas – November 5, 2009 - - JDA ® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) and i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement for JDA Software to acquire i2 Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of supply chain solutions, for an enterprise value of approximately $396 million. The combination of the two companies creates a global leader in the market for supply chain planning and optimization. On a pro-forma trailing 12-month basis, the combined company has annual revenues of approximately $617 million, including over $275 million of annual maintenance and recurring subscription fees.
     According to JDA Chief Executive Officer Hamish Brewer, the i2 acquisition will firmly establish JDA as a leading enterprise software company with a deep focus on supply chain management and a full complement of managed and hosted services offerings.
     “Our strategic rationale for acquiring i2 is even more compelling today than it was a year ago. The challenges of the economic crisis have focused the market’s attention on the disciplines of supply chain planning and JDA has established a leading role in this active market. Integrating i2’s solutions and expertise will only expand our opportunity to build substantial new shareholder value over the coming years.”
     “Over time we have come to know the i2 business very well and based on our detailed diligence and proven track record for delivering value, I am confident that we can reliably unlock the sizable potential that exists within this company,” added Brewer.

     “This is a powerful combination,” said i2 Chairman, President and CEO Jackson L. Wilson, Jr.  “Our customers will be supported by a team of supply chain professionals that is unmatched in the industry.  Innovation will accelerate. Our expanded geographic footprint will enhance sales penetration and service delivery.  This is the right transaction for our customers, partners and employees.”
Snapshot of the Combined Company
     By combining JDA and i2, the resulting company will have significantly improved operating leverage and a strong financial position. The near-term operating synergies resulting from this combination are expected to produce net annual cost savings of approximately $20 million. As a result of the pending acquisition, i2 has cancelled its previously announced conference call to discuss their third quarter 2009 financial results.
     “JDA is using a balanced combination of cash on hand, debt financing and JDA common stock to finance the transaction. We intend to access the high-yield loan market to finance approximately $275 million of acquisition financing,” commented Pete Hathaway, JDA’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “The company’s pro-forma leverage is anticipated to be modest and the combined cash flow from operations will be significant.”

Terms of the Transaction
     A primary goal of this transaction is to provide a high degree of completion certainty to the shareholders of both JDA and i2. With this in mind, the acquisition will be completed following one of the structures described below. JDA is pursuing the Intended Structure in order to provide the mix of consideration described below. Otherwise, JDA will complete the acquisition using the Alternative Structure.
Intended Structure
     As provided in the definitive merger agreement, JDA intends to raise approximately $275 million of senior unsecured notes through a best-efforts financing between the signing date and December 18, 2009. If JDA raises sufficient funds and satisfies other conditions in the definitive merger agreement by December 18, 2009, each issued and outstanding share of i2 common stock will be converted into the right to receive approximately $12.70 in cash and 0.256x shares of JDA common stock with a combined value equal to $18.00 per share based on JDA’s closing stock price on November 4, 2009.
Alternative Structure
     If JDA does not raise sufficient funds and meet the conditions necessary to complete the transaction under the Intended Structure, then the parties will proceed with the Alternative Structure. Under the Alternative Structure, each issued and outstanding share of i2 common stock will be converted into the right to receive approximately $6.00 in cash and 0.580x shares of JDA common stock with a combined value of $18.00 per share based on JDA’s stock price on November 4, 2009. JDA has received a fully-underwritten commitment from Wells Fargo Foothill and Wells Fargo Securities to provide a $120 million term loan and a $20 million revolving credit facility to finance the transaction under the Alternative Structure.
     Under either the Intended Structure or the Alternative Structure, each issued and outstanding share of i2’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive $1,100.00 per share in cash, and will receive all accrued and unpaid dividends.
     The transaction has an aggregate enterprise value of $396 million on a diluted basis and is expected under both transaction structures to be accretive to JDA’s 2010 non-GAAP EPS. The following table provides an overview of the net purchase price (enterprise value) to acquire i2, excluding direct costs of the acquisition:

     Direct costs of the acquisition are currently estimated to range from $32 million to $35 million and include financing-related costs, investment-banker fees, legal costs and restructuring costs.
     JDA will use cash from financing sources (senior unsecured notes or bank financing as appropriate), together with the companies’ combined cash balances at closing, to fund the cash obligations of the merger agreement, related transaction expenses, and to provide cash for the combined companies’ ongoing working capital and general corporate needs.
     The Board of Directors of each company has approved the transaction. Consummation of the transaction, which is expected to close in first quarter 2010, is subject to several closing conditions, including the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by i2’s stockholders, expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting periods and regulatory and other customary conditions. If the transaction proceeds with the Alternative Structure, approval by JDA shareholders will also be required. The JDA Board of Directors will consider adding one mutually agreeable i2 director to its board, and under the Alternative Structure the appointment is required.
     JDA has entered into voting agreements with all directors and certain executive officers of i2, and with i2’s Series B stockholder, pursuant to which such signatories have agreed to vote in favor of the merger agreement and against any other proposal or offer to acquire i2. The voting agreements restrict the transfer of shares by the signatories, except under certain limited conditions.
     The definitive merger agreement provides for the following termination fees: (i) $15 million payable to JDA if i2 terminates the merger agreement to accept a superior proposal, changes its recommendation and in certain other circumstances; (ii) $7 million payable to i2 if approval by JDA stockholders is required but not attained; and (iii) $30 million payable to i2 if JDA fails to close the merger due to failure to obtain financing under certain circumstances.
     Goldman Sachs acted as exclusive financial advisor to JDA and DLA Piper US LLP acted as JDA’s legal counsel. Thomas Wiesel Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to i2 and Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C. acted as i2’s legal counsel.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
     This press release contains forward-looking statements that are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements contained herein include statements about the consummation of the pending merger of JDA Software Group, Inc. (“JDA”) and i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2”), future financial and operating results of the combined company and benefits of the pending merger. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein include: (a) JDA’s ability to leverage the i2 products to enable it to further expand its position in the supply chain market; (b) JDA’s ability to successfully integrate and market the i2 products; (c) JDA’s and i2’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals; and (d) JDA’s and i2’ assumptions regarding the future financial and operating results of the combined company if JDA and i2 successfully complete the merger. Additional information relating to the uncertainty affecting the businesses of JDA and i2 as well as certain risk associated with the pending merger between JDA and i2 will be contained in the respective filings with the SEC, including the Proxy Statement referred to below. Neither JDA nor i2 is under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
     In addition to the specific risks identified in the proceeding paragraph, mergers involve a number of special risks, including diversion of management’s attention to the assimilation of the technology and personnel of acquired businesses, costs related to the merger, the integration of acquired products, technologies and employees into JDA’s business and product offerings, and the risk that the merger is not consummated. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the pending merger will depend, in part, upon whether the integration of the acquired products, technology, or employees is accomplished in an efficient and effective manner, and there can be no assurance that this will occur. The difficulties of such integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically disparate organizations, the complexity of the technologies being integrated, and the necessity of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The inability of management to successfully integrate the business of the two companies, and any related diversion of management’s attention, could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
Caution Required by Certain SEC Rules
     In connection with the proposed transaction, JDA will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement of JDA and i2 (if a meeting of JDA stockholders is held in connection with the Merger) or a proxy statement of i2 (if no meeting of JDA stockholders is held) that in either case also constitutes a prospectus of JDA. JDA (if a meeting of JDA stockholders is held) and i2 will mail a proxy statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders, and each will be filing other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC as well. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of this document (when it is available) and other documents filed with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed with the SEC by going to i2’s Investor Relations page on its corporate website at www.i2.com or to JDA’s corporate website at www.jda.com on its investor relations page.
     JDA, i2, and their respective directors and executive officers, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of i2 and JDA in connection with the transaction described herein.
