ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        On March 31, 2002, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2002, as amended March 15, 2002, between Registrant and Beyond.com Corporation ("Beyond.com"), in exchange for $2,910,311 in shares of Registrant's common stock (valued at the average of the closing price of Registrant's common stock for the 15 trading days prior to two days before closing), Registrant purchased those assets and assumed those liabilities of Beyond.com related to its eStores business, which manages online stores for clients. Pursuant to a post-closing amendment to the agreement, the parties agreed to a post-closing adjustment to the value of the common stock such that the common stock will be valued at the average of the closing price for the 15 business days prior to two days before closing and the seven business days immediately following closing, which value is $13.06. As a result, Beyond.com was entitled to receive a total of 222,842 shares in connection with the closing. The purchase was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court following Beyond.com's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and certain elements of the purchase remain subject to further approval by the court. The agreement includes contingent earn-out provisions whereby Beyond.com may receive (i) 73,699 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $962,500, if specified customers of Beyond.com remain Registrant's customers for 90 days post closing, (ii) 38,285 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $500,000, if specified customers of Beyond.com with a total weight of 90% or more (as specified in the agreement) enter into 12 month contracts with Registrant within 60 days of the closing and (iii) 103,369 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $1.35 million, if specified customers enter into 12 month contracts with Registrant within 60 days of the closing (with such shares valued as described above). Of the shares issued at closing, 70,000 shares were placed in escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations contained in the agreement. Subject to outstanding claims, the escrow will terminate 90 days following the closing.

        3.    On January 24, 2002, Seller filed a voluntary petition (the "Bankruptcy Case") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division (the "Bankruptcy Court").

        4.    On February 9, 2002, Buyer and Seller amended and restated the Original Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2002 (the "February 9 Asset Purchase Agreement").

        5.    On March 15, 2002, Buyer and Seller entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the "First Amendment").

        6.    On March 20, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved the February 9 Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, with certain changes required by the Bankruptcy Court (the February 9 Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended and in the form approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the "Final Asset Purchase Agreement").

        7.    The parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Final Asset Purchase Agreement on March 31, 2002 based on the agreement that this Agreement would be entered into immediately following the Closing.

        8.    The parties now wish to amend the Final Asset Purchase Agreement by adding the additional provisions set forth below.

1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing facts and the mutual promises set forth below, the parties agree that the Final Asset Purchase Agreement shall be amended as follows, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.

        All defined terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Final Asset Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2. PURCHASE OF ASSETS/ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.

2.1    Adjustment.    The parties agree that the number of shares of Buyer common stock deemed issued or to be issued to the Seller pursuant to the Final Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Agreement, shall be calculated based on the average closing price for the Buyer's common stock for the fifteen business days prior to two days before Closing and the seven business days immediately following the Closing (the "Amended Closing Stock Price"). To the extent that the Amended Closing Stock Price is lower than the Closing Stock Price, Buyer shall, promptly after the seventh business day following the Closing (the "Second Closing"), deliver such additional shares of Buyer's common stock to Seller such that Seller shall have received (at the Closing and the Second Closing) shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to (i) the Initial Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement, divided by (ii) the Amended Closing Stock Price. To the extent that the Amended Closing Stock Price is higher than the Closing Stock Price, Seller shall, promptly after the Second Closing, deliver such additional shares of Buyer's common stock to Buyer such that Seller shall have received (at the Closing and the Second Closing) shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to (i) the Initial Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement, divided by (ii) the Amended Closing Stock Price. The number of shares of Buyer common stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and the number of Earnout Shares issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(c) and/or (d) of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement, if any, shall be calculated using the Amended Closing Stock Price. The Second Closing shall not occur until such time as the Bankruptcy Court approves this Agreement as required by Section 3.1.

2.2    No Interference with Borland or Sybex.

        Seller agrees for a period of 90 days after the Closing (i) not to interfere in any way with Buyer's relationship with Borland and Sybex, and (ii) not to have any communication with Borland and Sybex without Buyer's prior consent.

2.3    Release.

        Seller hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Buyer and its officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys, shareholders, successors, assigns and affiliates, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to (i) Buyer's press release of March 29, 2002 relating to Buyer's expectations about its financial quarter ending March 31, 2002 and certain charges to earnings to be taken in such quarter, as described in such press release and (ii) any allegations that Buyer had improper communications with clients of Seller prior to the Closing. SELLER UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS COVERED BY THIS SECTION. In giving this release, which includes claims which may be unknown at present, Seller acknowledges that Seller has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Seller hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to its

2

release of any unknown or unsuspected claims it may have with respect to the matter covered by this Section.

2.4    McAfee Agreement.

Buyer agrees to enter into the McAfee Amendment or an agreement substantively identical to the McAfee Amendment, if McAfee agrees to enter into such agreement. If Buyer and McAfee enter into the McAfee Amendment or an agreement substantively identical thereto, then Seller shall have earned an additional $1,000,000 in consideration as described in Section 3.1(c) of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer agrees that the McAfee Amendment, if signed by Buyer, will be deemed effective if it would have become effective but for Buyer's failure to pay the Pre-Petition Amounts described in the McAfee Amendment.

2.5    E&Y Expenses.

        Seller agrees that any additional purchase price reduction after the closing described in the first sentence of Section 3.1(b) of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement may be offset against and serve to reduce amounts paid to Seller as Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Final Asset Purchase Agreement.
