PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2001
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


    The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 1, 2001 at 10:00 a.m., local time, or at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Annual Meeting will be held at Shutters on the Beach, One Pico Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405.

    These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about April   , 2001 to all shareholders of record on March 20, 2001 (the "Record Date").


INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Revocability of Proxies

    Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at the above address of the Company, written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person (attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

Voting and Solicitation

    Proxies properly executed, duly returned to the Company and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made. Where no specifications are given, such proxies will be voted as the management of the Company may propose. It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, any matter not described in this Proxy Statement is properly presented for action at the meeting, the persons named as proxies in the enclosed form of proxy will have discretionary authority to vote according to their best judgment.

    Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock on all matters presented at the meeting. The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting is a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by holders of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date. Shares that are voted "FOR," "AGAINST," "WITHHELD" OR "ABSTAIN" are treated as being present at the meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and are also treated as shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the "Votes Cast") with respect to such matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against a proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but such non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of Votes Cast with respect to the particular proposal on which a broker has expressly not voted. Thus, a broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of the voting on a proposal, except with respect to Proposal Two which requires approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company on the Record Date. With respect to Proposal Two, a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

    The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company may also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in


forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of the Company's directors, officers and employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone or telegram.

Record Date

    Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2001 are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting.

Deadline for Receipt of Shareholder Proposals

    Shareholders of the Company may submit proper proposals for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of its shareholders by submitting their proposals in writing to the Secretary of the Company in a timely manner. In order to be included in the Company's proxy materials for the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in the year 2002, shareholder proposals must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than January 31, 2002, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

    The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

    The attached proxy card grants the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote on any matter raised at the Annual Meeting. If a stockholder fails to comply with the advance notice provision discussed above for shareholder proposals, the proxy holders will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the 2002 Annual Meeting.


PROPOSAL ONE:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    Two (2) Class I directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the Company's two (2) nominees named below, all of whom are presently directors of the Company. If any nominee of the Company is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for the substitute nominee designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. It is not expected that any nominee will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. The term of office of each person elected as a director at this meeting will continue until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in 2004 or until the director's successor has been elected and qualified.

Vote Required; Recommendation of Board of Directors

    The two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes shall be elected to the Company's Board of Directors. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote withheld for the election of directors.

PROPOSAL TWO:

APPROVAL OF REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE

Introduction

    For the reasons set forth below, the Board of Directors believes that the best interests of the Company and its shareholders will be served by changing the state of incorporation of the Company from California to Delaware (the "Reincorporation Proposal" or the "Proposed Reincorporation"). Shareholders are urged to read carefully the following sections of this Proxy Statement including the related exhibits referenced below and attached hereto, before voting on the Reincorporation Proposal. Throughout the Proxy Statement, the term "SeeBeyond California" refers to the existing California corporation and the term "SeeBeyond Delaware" refers to the new Delaware corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SeeBeyond California, which is the proposed successor to SeeBeyond California.

    As discussed below, the principal reasons for the proposed reincorporation are the greater flexibility of Delaware corporate law, the substantial body of case law interpreting that law, and the increased ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified directors. The Company believes that its shareholders will benefit from the well established principles of corporate governance that Delaware law affords. Although Delaware law provides the opportunity for the Board of Directors to adopt various mechanisms which may enhance the Board's ability to negotiate favorable terms for the shareholders in the event of an unsolicited takeover attempt, the proposed Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are similar to those currently in effect in California, with the exception that

5


certain shareholder rights to call special meetings and to act by written consent will be eliminated, shareholder nominations for director and for business to be presented at an Annual Meeting will be subject to a ninety (90) day advance notice requirement. The Reincorporation Proposal is not being proposed in order to prevent a nonsolicited takeover attempt, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to the Board of Directors to acquire control of the Company, or representation on the Board of Directors or take significant action that affects the Company.

    The Reincorporation Proposal will be effected by merging SeeBeyond California into SeeBeyond Delaware. Upon completion of the merger, SeeBeyond California will cease to exist and SeeBeyond Delaware will continue to operate the business of the Company under the name SeeBeyond Technology Corporation.

    Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Merger Agreement"), each outstanding share of SeeBeyond California common stock, no par value, will automatically be converted into one share of SeeBeyond Delaware common stock, $.001 par value, upon the effective date of the merger. Each stock certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of SeeBeyond California common stock will continue to represent the same number of shares of common stock of SeeBeyond Delaware. IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF SEEBEYOND DELAWARE. However, shareholders may exchange their certificates if they so choose. The common stock of SeeBeyond California is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market and after the merger SeeBeyond Delaware's common stock will continue to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, under the same symbol ("SBYN") as the shares of SeeBeyond California common stock are traded under such system prior to the merger.

    Under California law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of SeeBeyond California is required for approval of the Merger Agreement and the other terms of the Proposed Reincorporation. See "Vote Required for the Reincorporation Proposal." The Proposed Reincorporation has been unanimously approved by SeeBeyond California's Board of Directors. If approved by the shareholders, it is anticipated that the merger will become effective as soon as practicable (the "Effective Date") following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger may be abandoned or the Merger Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors (except that the principal terms may not be amended without shareholder approval) either before or after shareholder approval has been obtained and prior to the Effective Date of the Proposed Reincorporation if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of either company, circumstances arise which make it inadvisable to proceed under the original terms of the Merger Agreement. Shareholders of SeeBeyond California will have no dissenters' rights of appraisal with respect to the merger.

    The discussion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation of SeeBeyond Delaware (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware (the "Bylaws"), and the form of indemnification agreement providing for indemnification of the Company's officers and directors to conform to Delaware law (the "Indemnification Agreement"), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, C and D, respectively.

    APPROVAL BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE PROPOSED REINCORPORATION WILL CONSTITUTE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, THE BYLAWS OF SEEBEYOND DELAWARE AND THE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT AND ALL PROVISIONS THEREOF.

6


Vote Required for the Reincorporation Proposal

    Approval of the Reincorporation Proposal, which will also constitute approval of (i) the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware, (iii) the assumption of SeeBeyond California's employee benefit plans and stock option and employee stock purchase plans by SeeBeyond Delaware and (iv) the adoption of the Indemnification Agreement of SeeBeyond Delaware, will require the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares of the Company on the Record Date entitled to vote on the proposal. Votes that are cast against the proposal will be counted for purposes of determining (x) the presence or absence of a quorum and (y) the total number of negative votes cast with respect to the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each have the same effect as a vote against a proposal.

    THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR" THE PROPOSED REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE.

Principal Reasons for the Proposed Reincorporation

    As the Company plans for the future, the Board of Directors and management believe that it is essential to be able to draw upon well established principles of corporate governance in making legal and business decisions. The prominence and predictability of Delaware corporate law provide a reliable foundation on which the Company's governance decisions can be based and the Company believes that shareholders will benefit from the responsiveness of Delaware corporate law to their needs and to those of the corporation they own.

    Prominence, Predictability and Flexibility of Delaware Law.  For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware in a manner similar to that proposed by the Company. Because of Delaware's prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated an ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs.

    Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors.  Both California and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its charter document which reduces or limits the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances. The increasing frequency of claims and litigation directed against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in exercising their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. It is the Company's desire to reduce these risks to its directors and to limit situations in which monetary damages can be recovered against directors so that the Company may continue to attract and retain qualified directors who otherwise might be unwilling to serve because of the risks involved. The Company believes that, in general, Delaware law provides greater protection to directors than California law and that Delaware case law regarding a corporation's ability to limit director liability is more developed and provides more guidance than California law.

    Well Established Principles of Corporate Governance.  There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and as to the conduct of the Board of Directors under the business judgment rule. The Company

7


believes that its shareholders will benefit from the well established principles of corporate governance that Delaware law affords.

No Change in the Name, Board Members, Business, Management, Employee Plans or Location of Principal Facilities of the Company

    The Reincorporation Proposal will effect a change only in the legal domicile of the Company and certain other changes of a legal nature, certain of which are described in this Proxy Statement. The Proposed Reincorporation will NOT result in any change in the name, business, management, fiscal year, assets or liabilities (except to the extent of legal and other costs of effecting the reincorporation) or location of the principal facilities of the Company. In October 2000, however, the Company changed its name from "Software Technologies Corporation" to "SeeBeyond Technology Corporation", and changed the stock symbol under which the Company's common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market from "STCS" to "SBYN". The two (2) directors who are elected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders will become the directors of SeeBeyond Delaware. All employee benefit, stock option and employee stock purchase plans of SeeBeyond California will be assumed and continued by SeeBeyond Delaware, and each option or right issued pursuant to such plans will automatically be converted into an option or right to purchase the same number of shares of SeeBeyond Delaware common stock, at the same price per share, upon the same terms, and subject to the same conditions. Shareholders should note that approval of the Reincorporation Proposal will also constitute approval of the assumption of these plans by SeeBeyond Delaware. Other employee benefit arrangements of SeeBeyond California will also be continued by SeeBeyond Delaware upon the terms and subject to the conditions currently in effect. As noted above, after the merger, the shares of common stock of SeeBeyond Delaware will continue to be traded, in the same principal market and under the same symbol ("SBYN") as the shares of common stock of SeeBeyond California are traded under prior to the merger.

    Prior to the Effective Date of the merger, the Company plans to obtain any requisite consents to such merger from parties with whom it may have contractual arrangements. As a result, SeeBeyond California expects its rights and obligations under such contractual arrangements will continue and be assumed by SeeBeyond Delaware.

Antitakeover Implications

    Delaware, like many other states, permits a corporation to adopt a number of measures through amendment of the corporate charter or bylaws or otherwise, which measures are designed to reduce a corporation's vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts. The Reincorporation Proposal is not being proposed in order to prevent such a change in control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to the Board of Directors to acquire control of the Company or to obtain representation on the Board of Directors.

    In the discharge of its fiduciary obligations to its shareholders, the Board of Directors has evaluated the Company's vulnerability to potential unsolicited bidders. In the course of such evaluation, the Board of Directors of the Company has considered or may consider in the future certain defensive strategies designed to enhance the Board's ability to negotiate with an unsolicited bidder. These strategies include, but are not limited to, the adoption of a shareholder rights plan and severance agreements for its management and key employees which become effective upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company. None of these measures has been implemented by SeeBeyond California under California law and none has been provided for by SeeBeyond Delaware under Delaware law.

    Certain effects of the Reincorporation Proposal may be considered to have antitakeover implications. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, from which SeeBeyond Delaware

8


does NOT intend to opt out, restricts certain "business combinations" with "interested shareholders" for three (3) years following the date that a person becomes an interested shareholder, unless the Board of Directors approves the business combination. See "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware  Shareholder Approval of Certain Business Combinations." Furthermore, the elimination of the right of shareholders controlling at least ten percent (10%) of the voting shares to call a special meeting of the shareholders could be seen as promoting an antitakeover effect by allowing shareholder action only at a meeting properly called by the Board of Directors or an annual meeting. The elimination of the right of shareholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors could also be seen as promoting an antitakeover effect by elimination of the right of a minority shareholder to obtain representation on the Board. The elimination of the ability of a majority of shareholders to act by written consent also could be viewed as having an antitakeover effect in that it can make it more difficult for shareholders to coordinate action outside a duly called annual or special meeting. For a further discussion of the changes which will be implemented as part of the Proposed Reincorporation, see "The Charters and Bylaws of SeeBeyond California and SeeBeyond Delaware" and "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware—Indemnification and Limitation of Liability." For a further discussion of these and other differences between the laws of California and Delaware, see "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware."

    The Board of Directors believes that unsolicited takeover attempts may be unfair or disadvantageous to the Company and its shareholders because: (i) a non-negotiated takeover bid may be timed to take advantage of temporarily depressed stock prices; (ii) a non-negotiated takeover bid may be designed to foreclose or minimize the possibility of more favorable competing bids or alternative transactions; (iii) a non-negotiated takeover bid may involve the acquisition of only a controlling interest in the corporation's stock, without affording all shareholders the opportunity to receive the same economic benefits; and (iv) certain of the Company's contractual arrangements provide that they may not be assigned pursuant to a transaction which results in a "change of control" of the Company without the prior written consent of the other contracting party.

    By contrast, in a transaction in which an acquiror must negotiate with an independent board of directors, the board can and should take account of the underlying and long-term values of the Company's business, technology and other assets, the possibilities for alternative transactions on more favorable terms, possible advantages from a tax-free reorganization, anticipated favorable developments in the Company's business not yet reflected in the stock price and equality of treatment of all shareholders.

    Despite the belief of the Board of Directors as to the benefits to shareholders of the Reincorporation Proposal, it may be disadvantageous to the extent that it has the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt which is not approved by the Board of Directors, but which a majority of the shareholders may deem to be in their best interests or in which shareholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over the then current market value or over their cost basis in such shares. As a result of such effects of the Reincorporation Proposal, shareholders who might wish to participate in a tender offer may not have an opportunity to do so. In addition, to the extent that such provisions enable the Board of Directors to resist a takeover or a change in control of the Company, they could make it more difficult to change the existing Board of Directors and management.

The Charters and Bylaws of SeeBeyond California and SeeBeyond Delaware

    The provisions of the SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are similar to those of the SeeBeyond California Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws in many respects. However, the Reincorporation Proposal includes the implementation of certain provisions in the SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws which alter the rights of shareholders and the powers of management. These provisions have antitakeover implications as described in this Proxy Statement.

9


Approval by shareholders of the Proposed Reincorporation will constitute an approval of the inclusion in the SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of the provisions described below. In addition, SeeBeyond Delaware could implement certain other changes by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. For a discussion of such changes, see "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware." This discussion of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware is qualified by reference to Exhibits B and C hereto, respectively.

    The Articles of Incorporation of SeeBeyond California currently authorize the Company to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value. The Certificate of Incorporation of SeeBeyond Delaware provides that such company will have 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value. Thus, the capitalization of SeeBeyond Delaware will remain the same as that of SeeBeyond California.

    Monetary Liability of Directors and Officers.  The Articles of Incorporation of SeeBeyond California and the Certificate of Incorporation of SeeBeyond Delaware both provide for the elimination of personal monetary liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under law. The provision eliminating monetary liability of directors and officers set forth in the SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation is potentially more expansive than the corresponding provision in the SeeBeyond California Articles of Incorporation, in that the former incorporates future amendments to Delaware law with respect to the elimination of such liability. SeeBeyond Delaware plans to enter into new indemnification agreements with all directors after the Proposed Reincorporation. For a further explanation of the foregoing, see "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware—Indemnification and Limitation of Liability." A copy of the form of SeeBeyond Delaware Indemnification Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

    Size of the Board of Directors.  The Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware provide for a Board of Directors consisting of not less than nine (9) nor more than seventeen (17) directors, with the exact number set at nine (9) members until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Bylaws. The Bylaws of SeeBeyond California also provide for a Board of Directors consisting of not less than nine (9) nor more than seventeen (17) directors, with the exact number set at nine (9) members until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Bylaws. Under California law, although changes in the number of directors, in general, must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares, the Board of Directors may fix the exact number of directors within a stated range set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, if the stated ranges have been approved by the shareholders. Delaware Law permits the Board of Directors acting alone, to change the authorized number of directors by amendment to the Bylaws, unless the directors are not authorized to amend the Bylaws or the number of directors is fixed in the certificate of incorporation (in which case a change in the number of directors may be made only by amendment to the certificate of incorporation following approval of such change by the shareholders). The SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation provides that the number of directors will be as specified in the Bylaws and authorizes the Board of Directors to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws. Following the Proposed Reincorporation, the Board of Directors of SeeBeyond Delaware could amend the Bylaws to change the size of the Board of Directors from nine (9) directors without further shareholder approval. If the Reincorporation Proposal is approved, the eight (8) directors of SeeBeyond California (with one current vacancy), including the two (2) Class I directors who are elected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, will continue as the directors of SeeBeyond Delaware after the Proposed Reincorporation is consummated and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

10


    Cumulative Voting for Directors.  Under California law, if any shareholder has given notice of an intention to cumulate votes for the election of directors, any other shareholder of the corporation is also entitled to cumulate his or her votes at such election. Cumulative voting provides that each share of stock normally having one vote is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected. A shareholder may then cast all such votes for a single candidate or may allocate them among as many candidates as the shareholder may choose. In the absence of cumulative voting, the holders of the majority of the shares present or represented at a meeting in which directors are to be elected would have the power to elect all the directors to be elected at such meeting, and no person could be elected without the support of holders of the majority of shares present or represented at such meeting. Elimination of cumulative voting could make it more difficult for a minority shareholder adverse to a majority of the shareholders to obtain representation on the Company's Board of Directors. California corporations whose stock is listed on a national stock exchange can also eliminate cumulative voting with shareholder approval. The Company qualifies as such a listed company and SeeBeyond California's Articles of Incorporation have eliminated cumulative voting. Under Delaware law, cumulative voting in the election of directors is not mandatory, but is a permitted option. The SeeBeyond Delaware Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the Proposed Reincorporation will not alter the rights of shareholders with respect to cumulative voting.

    Power to Call Special Shareholders' Meetings.  Under California law, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at such meeting and such additional persons as are authorized by such corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws. SeeBeyond California's Bylaws permit a special meeting of shareholders to be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a shareholder holding not less than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the Company. Under Delaware law, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors or any other person authorized to do so in the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware currently authorize the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President, to call a special meeting of shareholders. Therefore, after the Proposed Reincorporation, no shareholder (regardless of percentage holding) will be entitled to call a special meeting.

    Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors.  Under California law, any vacancy on the board of directors other than one created by removal of a director may be filled by the Board. If the number of directors is less than a quorum, a vacancy may be filled by the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice or by a sole remaining director. A vacancy created by removal of a director may be filled by the board only if so authorized by a corporation's articles of incorporation or by a bylaw approved by the corporation's shareholders. SeeBeyond California's Bylaws permit a majority of the remaining directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors. Under Delaware law, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office (even though less than a quorum) or by a sole remaining director, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or unless the certificate of incorporation directs that a particular class of stock is to elect such director(s), in which case a majority of the directors elected by such class, or a sole remaining director so elected, shall fill such vacancy or newly created directorship). The Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware, and those of SeeBeyond California, provide that any vacancy, including one created by the removal of a director by the shareholders, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors on the board, and the person so elected to fill the vacancy shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders at which the class to which the directorship belongs is to be elected. Thus, the Proposed Reincorporation will not alter the manner in which director vacancies are filled.

11


    Nominations of Director Candidates and Introduction of Business at Shareholder Meetings.  The Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware establish an advance notice procedure with regard to the nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, of candidates for election as directors (the "Nomination Procedure") and with regard to certain matters to be brought before an annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders (the "Business Procedure").

    The Nomination Procedure provides that only persons nominated by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a shareholder who has given timely written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting, will be eligible for election as directors. The Business Procedure provides that at an annual or special meeting, and subject to any other applicable requirements, only such business may be conducted as has been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a shareholder who has given timely written notice to the Secretary of the Company of such shareholder's intention to bring such business before the meeting. In all cases, to be timely, notice must be received by the Company not less than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders (or if the annual meeting date is called for a date not within thirty (30) days of such anniversary date, then not later than the tenth day following the day on which such notice was mailed or such public disclosure was made).

    Under the Nomination Procedure, a shareholder's notice to the Company must contain certain information about the nominee, including name, address, the consent of the nominee to be nominated and such other information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the proposed nominee, and certain information about the shareholder proposing to nominate that person, including name, address, a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock entitled to vote at the meeting and a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee. Under the Business Procedure, notice relating to the conduct of business at a meeting other than the nomination of directors must contain certain information about the business and about the shareholder who proposes to bring the business before the meeting. If the chairman or other officer presiding at the meeting determines that a person was not nominated in accordance with the Nomination Procedure, such person will not be eligible for election as a director, or if he or she determines that other business was not properly brought before such meeting in accordance with the Business Procedure, such business will not be conducted at such meeting. Nothing in the Nomination Procedure or the Business Procedure will preclude discussion by any shareholder of any nomination or business properly made or brought before an annual or special meeting in accordance with the above-described procedures.

    By requiring advance notice of nominations by shareholders, the Nomination Procedure affords the Board of Directors an opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Board, to inform the shareholders about such qualifications. By requiring advance notice of proposed business, the Business Procedure provides the Board with an opportunity to inform shareholders of any business proposed to be conducted at a meeting and the Board's position on any such proposal enabling shareholders to better determine whether they desire to attend the meeting or grant a proxy to the Board of Directors as to the disposition of such business. Although the SeeBeyond Delaware Bylaws do not give the Board any power to approve or disapprove shareholder nominations for the election of directors or any other business designated by shareholders to be conducted at a meeting, the SeeBeyond Delaware Bylaws may have the effect of precluding a nomination for the election of directors or of precluding any other business at a particular meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. In addition, the procedures may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even if the conduct of such business or such attempt might be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

    Classified Board.  Each of SeeBeyond California and SeeBeyond Delaware has a classified Board of Directors providing for directors divided into three classes: Class I, comprised of two directors being

12


elected at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2001; Class II, comprised of three directors whose term will expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2002; and Class III, comprised of three directors whose term will expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2003. If the Reincorporation Proposal is approved, this classification of the Board of Directors will continue for SeeBeyond Delaware.

    Action by Written Consent of the Shareholders.  Any action by the shareholders must be taken at a duly called annual or special meeting, according to the Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware. Thus, although the Bylaws of SeeBeyond California allow shareholder action by written consent, such action by written consent will no longer be authorized after the Proposed Reincorporation.

    Removal of Directors.  The Bylaws of SeeBeyond Delaware permit a director to be removed only with cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote in an election of directors. California law permits the removal of directors, with or without cause, by a majority of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote, provided, however, that no individual director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against such removal would be sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting. Thus, because SeeBeyond Delaware will not have cumulative voting, the removal of directors may be more difficult following the Proposed Reincorporation.

Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware

    The corporation laws of California and Delaware differ in many respects. Although all the differences are not set forth in this Proxy Statement, certain provisions, which could materially affect the rights of shareholders, are discussed below.

    Shareholder Approval of Certain Business Combinations.  In recent years, a number of states have adopted special laws designed to make certain kinds of "unfriendly" corporate takeovers, or other transactions involving a corporation and one or more of its significant shareholders, more difficult. Under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, certain "business combinations" with "interested shareholders" of Delaware corporations are subject to a three-year moratorium unless specified conditions are met.

    Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested shareholder" for three (3) years following the date that such person or entity becomes an interested shareholder. With certain exceptions, an interested shareholder is a person or entity who or which owns, individually or with or through certain other persons or entities, fifteen percent (15%) or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an agent or associate of the corporation and was the owner, individually or with or through certain other persons or entities of fifteen percent (15%) or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three (3) years, or is an affiliate or associate of any of the foregoing.

    For purposes of Section 203, the term "business combination" is defined broadly to include mergers with or caused by the interested shareholder, sales or other dispositions to the interested shareholder (except proportionately with the corporation's other shareholders) of assets of the corporation or a direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary equal in aggregate market value to ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate market value of either the corporation's consolidated assets or all of its outstanding stock; the issuance or transfer by the corporation or a direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of stock of the corporation or such subsidiary to the interested shareholder (except for certain transfers in a conversion or exchange or a pro rata distribution or certain other transactions, none of which increase the interested shareholder's proportionate ownership of any class or series of the corporation's or such subsidiary's stock or of the corporation's voting stock); or receipt by the

13


interested shareholder (except proportionately as a shareholder), directly or indirectly, of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or a subsidiary.

    The three-year moratorium imposed on business combinations of Section 203 does not apply if: (i) prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person or entity becoming an interested shareholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that made him or her an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owns at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the corporation's voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding from the eighty-five percent (85%) calculation shares owned by directors who are also officers of the target corporation and shares held by employee stock plans that do not give employee participants the right to decide confidentially whether to accept a tender or exchange offer); or (iii) on or after the date such person or entity becomes an interested shareholder, the board approves the business combination and it is also approved at a shareholder meeting by sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested shareholder.

    Section 203 only applies to certain publicly held corporations that have a class of voting stock that is (i) listed on a national securities exchange, (ii) quoted on an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association or (iii) held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders. Although a Delaware corporation to which Section 203 applies may elect not to be governed by Section 203, SeeBeyond Delaware does not intend to so elect and thus will be governed by Section 203.

    Section 203 will encourage any potential acquiror to negotiate with the Company's Board of Directors. Section 203 also might have the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquiror to make a two-tiered bid for SeeBeyond Delaware in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. Shareholders should note, however, that the application of Section 203 to SeeBeyond Delaware will confer upon the Board the power to reject a proposed business combination in certain circumstances, even though a potential acquiror may be offering a substantial premium for SeeBeyond Delaware's shares over the then current market price. Section 203 would also discourage certain potential acquirors unwilling to comply with its provisions. See "Shareholder Voting" herein.

    Removal of Directors.  Under California law, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. However, no individual director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against such removal would be sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting. Under Delaware law, a director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the election of directors except that (i) unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation with a classified board of directors, shareholders may effect such removal only for cause or (ii) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, no director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect such director under cumulative voting. The SeeBeyond Delaware Bylaws provide that holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the election of directors may remove a director only for cause. The Certificate of Incorporation of SeeBeyond Delaware after the Proposed Reincorporation does not provide for cumulative voting rights.

    Classified Board of Directors.  A classified board is one on which a certain number, but not all of the directors are elected on a rotating basis each year. This method of electing directors makes changes in the composition of the board of directors more difficult, and thus a potential change in control of a corporation a lengthier and more difficult process. Under California law, a Company whose shares are listed on a national exchange may also provide for a classified board of directors by adopting amendments to its articles of incorporation or bylaws, which amendments must be approved by the

14


shareholders. As discussed above under the heading "The Charters and Bylaws of SeeBeyond California and SeeBeyond Delaware—Classified Board", in its Articles of Incorporation SeeBeyond California has adopted a three-tiered classified structure for its Board of Directors. Delaware law permits, but does not require a classified board of directors, pursuant to which the directors can be divided into as many as three (3) classes with staggered terms of office, with only one class of directors standing for election each year. SeeBeyond Delaware currently plans to continue to have a three-tiered classified board that is identical to that adopted by SeeBeyond California.

    Indemnification and Limitation of Liability.  California and Delaware have similar laws respecting indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees and other agents. The laws of both states also permit corporations to adopt a provision in their articles of incorporation eliminating the liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty of care. There are nonetheless certain differences between the laws of the two states respecting indemnification and limitation of liability. In general, Delaware law is somewhat broader in allowing corporations to indemnify and limit the liability of corporate agents, which, among other things, support Delaware corporations in attracting and retaining outside directors.

    California law does not permit the elimination of monetary liability where such liability is based on (a) intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; (b) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; (c) receipt of an improper personal benefit; (d) acts or omissions that show reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, where the director in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties should be aware of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (e) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation and its shareholders; (f) interested transactions between the corporation and a director in which a director has a material financial interest; or (g) liability for improper distributions, loans or guarantees.

    Delaware law does not permit the elimination of monetary liability for (a) breaches of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law; (c) the payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (d) transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit.

    California law permits indemnification of expenses incurred in derivative or third-party actions, except that with respect to derivative actions (a) no indemnification may be made without court approval when a person is adjudged liable to the corporation in the performance of that person's duty to the corporation and its shareholders, unless a court determines such person is entitled to indemnity for expenses, and then such indemnification may be made only to the extent that such court shall determine, and (b) no indemnification may be made without court approval in respect of paid or expenses incurred in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action or amounts incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.

    Indemnification is permitted by California law only for acts taken in good faith and believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, as determined by a majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the directors, independent legal counsel (if a quorum of independent directors is not obtainable), a majority vote of a quorum of the shareholders (excluding shares owned by the indemnified party), or the court handling the action.

    California law requires indemnification when the individual has successfully defended the action on the merits as opposed to Delaware law which requires indemnification where there has been a successful defense, whether on the merits or otherwise.

15


    Delaware law generally permits indemnification of expenses incurred in the defense or settlement of a derivative or third-party action, provided there is a determination by a disinterested quorum of the directors, by independent legal counsel or by a majority vote of a quorum of the shareholders that the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or (in contrast to California law) not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.

    Each of California and Delaware law allows for the entering of indemnification agreements which may provide for indemnification arrangements beyond those specifically authorized by applicable statute as long as they are not contrary to the policies underlying such statute. In this connection, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors providing for indemnification under California law, including certain procedures for such indemnification as well as for the advancement of expenses (other than actual amounts paid in settlement) in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any proceeding subject to such indemnification agreement. Such advances are repayable by the officer or director to the extent the subject conduct is later determined not to be indemnifiable. Similar indemnification agreements are allowed under Delaware law and the broader indemnification allowed in Delaware could also result in the greater allowance of expenses advancement. After the Proposed Reincorporation, the Company plans to enter into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. Although California and Delaware indemnification laws are similar, Delaware law provides a somewhat broader scope of protection for directors and officers. The indemnification agreements to be used by SeeBeyond Delaware are intended to complement the indemnity and other protection available under applicable law, SeeBeyond Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and to provide for indemnification of indemnitees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The indemnification agreements to be used by SeeBeyond Delaware contain certain additional limitations on indemnification for expenses in suits against the Company not contained in the indemnification agreements currently used by SeeBeyond California. Approval of the proposed reincorporation will also constitute approval by the Company's shareholders of the form of indemnification agreement attached as Exhibit D to this Proxy Statement.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that indemnification of directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by an indemnitee of SeeBeyond Delaware in the successful defense of any such act or proceeding) is asserted by such indemnitee in connection with securities which have been registered by SeeBeyond Delaware, SeeBeyond Delaware will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    Inspection of Shareholder List.  Both California and Delaware law allow any shareholder to inspect the shareholder list for a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a shareholder. California law provides, in addition, for an absolute right to inspect and copy the corporation's shareholder list by holding an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of the corporation's voting shares, or shareholders holding an aggregate of one percent (1%) or more of such shares who have filed a Schedule 14B with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a contested election of directors. The latter provision has not been amended in response to the elimination of Schedule 14B under the revised proxy rules. Under California law, such absolute inspection rights also apply to a corporation formed under the laws of any other state if its principal executive offices are in California or if it customarily holds meetings of its board in California. Delaware law also provides for

16


inspection rights as to a list of shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting within a ten-day period preceding a shareholders' meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting. However, Delaware law contains no provisions comparable to the absolute right of inspection provided by California law to certain shareholders.

    Dividends and Repurchases of Shares.  California law dispenses with the concepts of par value of shares as well as statutory definitions of capital surplus and the like. The concepts of par value, capital and surplus exist under Delaware law.

    Under California law, a corporation may not make any distribution (including dividends, whether in cash or other property, and repurchases of its shares other than repurchases of its shares issued under employee stock plans contemplated by Section 408 of the California Corporations Code) unless either (i) the corporation's retained earnings immediately prior to the proposed distribution equal or exceed the amount of the proposed distribution or (ii) immediately after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation's assets (exclusive of goodwill, capitalized research and development expenses and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 11/4 times its liabilities (not including deferred taxes, deferred income and other deferred credits), and the corporation's current assets would be at least equal to its current liabilities (or 11/4 times its current liabilities if the average pre-tax and pre-interest expense earnings for the preceding two (2) fiscal years were less than the average interest expense for such years). Such tests are applied to California corporations on a consolidated basis.

    Delaware law permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. In addition, Delaware law generally provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only if the capital of the corporation is not impaired and such redemption or repurchase would not impair the capital of the corporation.

    To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its outstanding shares and does not anticipate doing so for the foreseeable future.

    Shareholder Voting.  In a proposed acquisition context, both California and Delaware law generally require that a majority of the shareholders of both acquiring and target corporations approve statutory mergers. Delaware law does not require a shareholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation) if (a) the merger agreement does not amend the existing certificate of incorporation, (b) each share of the stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger is an identical outstanding or treasury share after the merger and (c) either no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized unissued shares or the treasury shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the shares of common stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger. California law contains a similar exception to its voting requirements for reorganizations where shareholders or the corporation itself, or both, immediately prior to the reorganization will own immediately after the reorganization equity securities constituting more than five-sixths of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent entity.

    Both California law and Delaware law also require that a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation be approved by a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation transferring such assets.

17


    With certain exceptions, California law also requires that mergers, reorganizations, certain sales of assets and similar transactions be approved by a majority vote of each class of shares outstanding. In contrast, Delaware law generally does not require class voting, except in certain transactions involving an amendment to the certificate of incorporation that adversely affects a specific class of shares. As a result, shareholder approval of such transactions may be easier to obtain under Delaware law for companies which have more than one class of shares outstanding.

    California law also requires that holders of nonredeemable common stock receive nonredeemable common stock in a merger of the corporation with the holder of more than fifty percent (50%) but less than ninety percent (90%) of such common stock or its affiliate unless all of the holders of such common stock consent to the transaction. This provision of California law may have the effect of making a "cash-out" merger by a majority shareholder more difficult to accomplish. Although Delaware law does not parallel California law in this respect, under some circumstances Section 203 does provide similar protection against two-tiered bids for a corporation in which the shareholders are not treated equally. See "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware—Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations."

    California law provides that, except in certain circumstances when a tender offer or a proposal for a reorganization or for a sale of assets is made by an interested party (generally a controlling or managing person of the target corporation), an affirmative opinion in writing as to the fairness of the consideration to be paid to the shareholders must be delivered to shareholders. This fairness opinion requirement does not apply to a corporation that does not have shares held of record by at least one hundred (100) persons, or to a transaction that has been qualified under California state securities laws. Furthermore, if a tender of shares or vote is sought pursuant to an interested party's proposal and a later proposal is made by another party at least ten (10) days prior to the date of acceptance of the interested party proposal the shareholders must be informed of the later offer and be afforded a reasonable opportunity to withdraw any vote, consent or proxy, or to withdraw any tendered shares. Delaware law has no comparable provision.

    Interested Director Transactions.  Under both California and Delaware law, certain contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation's directors has an interest are not void or voidable of such interest provided that certain conditions, such as obtaining the required approval and fulfilling the requirements of good faith and full disclosure, are met. With certain exceptions, the conditions are similar under California and Delaware law. Under California and Delaware law, (a) either the shareholders or the board of directors must approve any such contract or transaction after full disclosure of the material facts, and, in the case of board approval, the contract or transaction must also be "just and reasonable" (in California) or "fair" (in Delaware) to the corporation or (b) the contract or transaction must have been just and reasonable or fair as to the corporation at the time it was approved. In the latter case, California law explicitly places the burden of proof on the interested director. Under California law, if shareholder approval is sought, the interested director is not entitled to vote his shares at a shareholder meeting with respect to any action regarding such contract or transaction. If board approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be approved by a majority vote of a quorum of the directors, without counting the vote of any interested director (except that interested directors may be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum). Under Delaware law, if board approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors (even if the disinterested directors are less than a quorum). Therefore, certain transactions that the Board of Directors of SeeBeyond California might not be able to approve because of the number of interested directors, could be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of SeeBeyond Delaware, although less than a majority of a quorum.

    Shareholder Derivative Suits.  California law provides that a shareholder bringing a derivative action on behalf of a corporation need not have been a shareholder at the time of the transaction in question, provided that certain tests are met. Under Delaware law, a shareholder may bring a

18


derivative action on behalf of the corporation only if the shareholder was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction in question or if his or her stock thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law. California law also provides that the corporation and the defendant in a derivative suit may make a motion to the court for an order requesting the plaintiff shareholder to furnish a security bond. Delaware does not have a similar bond requirement.

    Appraisal Rights.  Under both California and Delaware law, a shareholder of a corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction. Under Delaware law, such fair market value is determined exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger and consolidation, and such appraisal rights are not available (a) with respect to the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation, (b) with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation and the shares of which are either listed on a national securities exchange or are held of record by more than two thousand (2,000) holders if such shareholders receive only shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation that are either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than two thousand (2,000) holders plus cash in lieu of fractional shares of such corporations or (c) to shareholders of a corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the shareholders of the surviving corporation is required to approve the merger under certain provisions of Delaware law.

    The limitations on the availability of appraisal rights under California law are different from those under Delaware law. Shareholders of a California corporation whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange on a list of over-the-counter margin stocks issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally do not have such appraisal rights unless the holders of at least five percent (5%) of the class of outstanding shares claim the right or the corporation or any law restricts the transfer of such shares. Appraisal rights are also unavailable if the shareholders of a corporation or the corporation itself, or both, immediately prior to the reorganization will own immediately after the reorganization equity securities constituting more than five-sixths of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent entity (as will be the case in the Reincorporation Proposal). Appraisal or dissenters' rights are, therefore, not available to shareholders of SeeBeyond California with respect to the Reincorporation Proposal. California law general affords appraisal rights in sale of asset reorganizations.

    Dissolution.  Under California law, shareholders holding fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power may authorize a corporation's dissolution, with or without the approval of the corporation's board of directors and this right may not be modified by the Articles of Incorporation. Under Delaware law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, the dissolution must be approved by all the shareholders entitled to vote therein. Only if the dissolution is initially approved by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation's stock entitled to vote. In the event of such a board-initiated dissolution, Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority (greater than a simple majority) voting requirement in connection with dissolutions. SeeBeyond Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation contains no such supermajority voting requirement, however, and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present, would be sufficient to approve a dissolution of SeeBeyond Delaware that had previously been approved by its Board of Directors.

Application of the General Corporation Law of California to Delaware Corporations

    Under Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, certain foreign corporations (i.e., corporations not organized under California law) are placed in a special category if they have

19


characteristics of ownership and operation which indicate that they have significant contacts with California. So long as a Delaware or other foreign corporation is in this special category, and it does not qualify for one of the statutory exemptions, it is subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law applicable to corporations incorporated in California. Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, classified boards of directors, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters and appraisal rights and transaction of corporate records. See "Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of California and Delaware" above.

    Exemptions from Section 2115 are provided for corporations whose shares are listed on a major national securities exchange or are traded in the Nasdaq National Market and which have 800 or more shareholders as of the record date of its most recent annual meeting of shareholders. The common stock of SeeBeyond Delaware will continue to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market and is owned by more than 800 holders, and accordingly, SeeBeyond Delaware will be exempt from Section 2115.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

    The following is a discussion of certain federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of SeeBeyond California common stock who receive SeeBeyond Delaware common stock in exchange for their SeeBeyond California common stock as a result of the Proposed Reincorporation. The discussion does not address all of the tax consequences of the Proposed Reincorporation that may be relevant to particular SeeBeyond California shareholders, such as dealers in securities, or those SeeBeyond California shareholders who acquired their shares upon the exercise of stock options, nor does it address the tax consequences to holders of options or warrants to acquire SeeBeyond California common stock. Furthermore, no foreign, state, or local tax considerations are addressed herein. IN VIEW OF THE VARYING NATURE OF SUCH TAX CONSEQUENCES, EACH SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED REINCORPORATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS.

    Subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions described herein, and assuming the Proposed Reincorporation qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the following tax consequences generally should result:

    (a)
    No gain or loss should be recognized by holders of SeeBeyond California common stock upon receipt of SeeBeyond Delaware common stock pursuant to the Proposed Reincorporation;

    (b)
    The aggregate tax basis of the SeeBeyond Delaware common stock received by each shareholder in the Proposed Reincorporation should be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the SeeBeyond California common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, and

    (c)
    The holding period of the SeeBeyond Delaware common stock received by each shareholder of SeeBeyond California should include the period for which such shareholder held the SeeBeyond California common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that such SeeBeyond California common stock was held by the shareholder as a capital asset at the time of Proposed Reincorporation.

    (d)
    The Company should not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Proposed Reincorporation, and SeeBeyond Delaware should succeed, without adjustment, to the federal income tax attributes of SeeBeyond California.

    The Company has not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with regards to the federal income tax consequences of the Proposed Reincorporation under the Code. The Company will however, receive an opinion from legal counsel substantially to the effect that the

20


Proposed Reincorporation will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the "Tax Opinion"). The Tax Opinion will neither bind the IRS nor preclude it from asserting a contrary position. In addition, the Tax Opinion will be subject to certain assumptions and qualifications and will be based upon the truth and accuracy of representations made by SeeBeyond Delaware and SeeBeyond California.

    A successful IRS challenge to the reorganization status of the Reincorporation would result in a shareholder recognizing gain or loss with respect to each share of SeeBeyond California common stock exchanged in the Proposed Reincorporation equal to the difference between the shareholder's basis in such share and the fair market value, as of the time of the Proposed Reincorporation of the SeeBeyond Delaware common stock received in exchange therefor. In such event, a shareholder's aggregate basis in the shares of SeeBeyond Delaware common stock received in the exchange would equal their fair market value m such date, and the shareholder's holding period for such shares would not include the period during which the shareholder held SeeBeyond California common stock.

Compensation Arrangements

    In August 1998, the Company signed an employment agreement with Rangaswami Srihari, the Company's vice president and chief technology officer. This employment agreement provides for the at-will employment of Mr. Srihari. In the event that Mr. Srihari's employment is involuntarily terminated other than for "cause," then the Company is required to pay Mr. Srihari's base compensation for a period of twelve months following such termination. In the event of a change of control of the Company, fifty percent of the unvested portion of any outstanding stock option granted to Mr. Srihari under the Company's stock option plans shall vest and become exercisable.

Report Regarding the Compensation of Executive Officers by the Board of Directors1


1
The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not deemed "filed" with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the 1933 Act or 1934 Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.

    For 2000, all members of the Board of Directors participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation that occurred while such individuals were members of the Board. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, formed in July 1998, is comprised of Messrs. Lane, Ledger, Hassanein and Still. All such members are non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee, which held three meetings in 2000, reviews compensation levels of senior management and recommends salaries and other compensation paid to senior management to the Company's Board of Directors for approval.

    Compensation Philosophy.  The Company's executive pay programs are designed to attract and retain executives who will contribute to the Company's long-term success, to reward executives for achieving both short and long-term strategic Company goals, to link executive and shareholder interests through equity-based plans, and to provide a compensation package that recognizes individual

25


contributions and Company performance. A meaningful portion of each executive's total compensation is intended to be variable and to relate to and be contingent upon Company performance. The Company's compensation philosophy is that cash compensation must be competitive with other technology companies of comparable size in order to help motivate and retain existing staff and provide a strong incentive to achieve specific Company goals. The Company believes that the use of stock options as a long-term incentive links the interests of the employees to that of the shareholders and motivates key employees to remain with the Company to a degree that is critical to the Company's long-term success, while rewarding individuals for the Company's performance, to the extent it is reflected in the stock price of the Company.

    Components of Executive Compensation.  The two key components of the Company's senior management compensation program in fiscal 2000 were base salary and long-term incentives, represented by the Company's stock option program.

    Stock options are generally granted when a senior manager joins the Company and additional options may be granted from time-to-time thereafter. The options granted to each senior manager generally vest over a four (4) year period, although exceptions may be made when deemed necessary or appropriate. In addition to the stock option program, senior managers are eligible to participate in the Company's 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company intends to grant additional options to executive officers and other senior managers from time-to-time based on performance and potential.

    Chief Executive Officer Compensation.  Mr. James Demetriades receives an annual base salary of $300,000. In addition, he is eligible for an annual bonus equal to 66.7 percent of his base salary upon attainment of performance goals determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to the advice of the Committee after consultation with Mr. Demetriades. For fiscal 2000, no performance goals were established and Mr. Demetriades was awarded a bonus of $235,000. In February 2000, Mr. Demetriades was also granted an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

    Except as described above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer receives no other material compensation or benefits not provided to all executive officers.

    The Company had a bonus program in 2000 in connection with its incentive and retention policies and its assessment of practices of comparable companies in the industry. The bonuses awarded to executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 2000 were as follows: Barry Plaga, our senior vice president and chief financial officer was awarded $93,125; Paul Hoffman, our president, Americas was awarded $175,000; Kathleen Mitchell, our senior vice president, marketing and business development was awarded $153,348; and Rangaswami Srihari, our vice president, engineering and chief technology officer was awarded $96,200.

    Other elements of executive compensation include participation in Company-wide medical and dental benefits and the ability to defer compensation pursuant to a 401(k) plan. Employees may defer up to 15% of their pre-tax salary subject to statutory limits. The Company matches annual contributions under the 401(k) plan up to an amount equal to 50% of the participant's elective contribution, up to 8% of compensation.

    Ongoing Review.  The Compensation Committee will be evaluating the Company's compensation policies on an ongoing basis to determine whether they are appropriate to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. The Compensation Committee may determine accordingly that it is appropriate to increase salaries, award additional stock options or grants of restricted stock, make loans or provide other short-term or long-term compensation to senior managers, including executive officers.

    The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee have considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the "Section"). The Section disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual

26


compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for any of the Named Executive Officers, unless such compensation is performance-based. Since the cash compensation of each of the Named Executive Officers is below the $1 million threshold and the Compensation Committee believes that any options granted under the Company's stock plans will meet the requirements of being performance-based, the Compensation Committee believes that the Section will not reduce the tax deduction available to the Company. The Company's policy is to qualify, to the extent reasonable, its executive officers' compensation for deductibility under applicable tax laws. However, the Compensation Committee believes that its primary responsibility is to provide a compensation program that will attract, retain and reward the executive talent necessary to the Company's success. Consequently, the Compensation Committee recognizes that the loss of a tax deduction could be necessary in some circumstances.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors2


2
The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not deemed "filed" with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the 1933 Act or 1934 Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.

    The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, formed in July 1998, is comprised of Messrs. Still and Wilson. All such members are non-employee directors, and are independent as defined under the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors which is included with this proxy statement as Exhibit E.

    The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to (1) review on a continuing basis the internal financial reporting system and controls and audit function of the Company, (2) review the independent auditors' proposed scope and approach, (3) conduct a post-audit review of the financial statements and audit findings, (4) review the performance and monitor the independent auditors, and (5) recommend resolutions for any dispute between the Company's management and its independent auditors.

    The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 with the Company's management. The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 ("Communication with Audit Committees").

    The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 ("Independence Discussion with Audit Committees") and the Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the independence of the auditors from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors' independence.

    Based on the Audit Committee's review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company's audited financial statements be included

27


in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EDS is also a shareholder of the Company. In May 2000, EDS purchased 1,200,000 shares in a private placement concurrent with the Company's initial public offering at $12.00 per share, the same per share price paid by investors in the public offering. The Company also issued a warrant to EDS in January 2000 to purchase 1,200,000 shares of its common stock which becomes exercisable upon the achievement of various milestones including the generation of license revenue for the Company. This warrant expires in July 2002, and has an exercise price of $6.67 per share.

    During fiscal year 2000, the Company paid Accenture and its affiliated entities approximately $252,340 in consulting fees, and accrued approximately $322,550 in consulting fees payable to Accenture and its affiliated entities.

Accenture is also a shareholder of the Company, and holds a warrant to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.33 per share that expires in November 2003.

    We are a party to a lease for a building in Arcadia, California half of which is owned by the Demetriades Family Trust dated December 20, 1983, a majority interest of which is owned by Sterge Demetriades, one of our directors, and his wife. The other half of the building is owned by another trust, The 150 E. Foothill Trust dated December 20, 1983, of which James T. Demetriades, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer is one of the beneficiaries. During fiscal year 2000, we paid rent in the amount of $58,000 under this lease. The lease expires in December 2002.

    We have paid the premiums on certain life insurance policies for the benefit of James T. Demetriades. Total premiums paid during fiscal year 2000 were $42,203. This amount is classified as a related party receivable on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company has been named as a beneficiary on such policies up to the amount of the cash value of the policy.


COMPARISON OF TOTAL CUMULATIVE SHAREHOLDER RETURN

    The following graph compares the total cumulative shareholder return on the Company's common stock with the cumulative total return of the Nasdaq National Market Index and the Standard & Poor's Computer Software and Services Index for the period from April 28, 2000 (based on the closing price

of the company's stock on the date on which the Company's common stock began trading on the Nasdaq) through December 31, 2000. Total cumulative shareholder return assumes $100 invested at the beginning of the period in the common stock of the Company, the stocks represented in the Nasdaq National Market Index and the stocks represented in the Standard & Poor's Computer Software and Services Index, respectively and assumes reinvestment of dividends; the Company has paid no dividends on its common stock. The Standard & Poor's Computer Software and Services Index is a modified capitalization weighted index of 26 stocks representing software and services companies. Historical stock price performance should not be relied upon as indicative of future stock price performance:

    This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

    Each share of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, if reacquired by the Corporation (whether by redemption, repurchase, conversion to Common Stock or other means), shall upon such reacquisition resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series and available for designation and issuance by the Corporation in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph.

ARTICLE VI

    The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively.

No Bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Corporation which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.

    Section 3. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

    Section 4. At the election of directors of the Corporation, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.

    Section 3. Neither any amendment nor repeal of any Section of this Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any director or officer established pursuant to this Article VIII existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, including without limitation by eliminating or reducing the effect of this Article VIII, for or in respect of any act, omission or other matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VIII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

    The registered office of the corporation shall be fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

    1.2
    Other Offices

    The board of directors may at any time establish branch or subordinate offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.


ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

    2.1
    Place of Meetings

    Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware designated from time to time by the board of directors. In the absence of any such designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation.

    2.2
    Annual Meeting

    The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated from time to time by the board of directors. In the absence of such designation, the annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the first Wednesday of May in each year at 10:00 a.m. However, if such day falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next succeeding full business day. At the meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted.

    2.3
    Special Meeting

    A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the board of directors, or by the chairman of the board, by the chief executive officer, or by the president.

    If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the board of directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, chief executive officer, or the secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in the notice of such special meeting delivered to stockholders (or any supplement thereto).

    2.4
    Notice of Stockholders' Meetings

    All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted (no business other than that specified in the notice (or in any supplement thereto) may be transacted) or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the board of directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the stockholders (but any proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action). The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees who, at the time of the notice, the board intends to present for election.


    2.5
    Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice

    Written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given by first-class mail or by facsimile, telegraphic or other written communication or in such other manner as permitted by law. Notices shall be sent charges prepaid and shall be addressed to the stockholder at the address of that stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.

    If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of that stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at that address, then all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder on written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of the notice.

    An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice (or supplement thereto) of any stockholders' meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice (or supplement thereto).

    2.6
    Quorum

    The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business for which such meeting is called until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

    2.7
    Adjourned Meeting; Notice

    Any stockholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy. In the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting except as has been transacted while a quorum was present, if any, as provided in Section 2.6 of these bylaws.

    When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed or if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting, then notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

    2.8
    Voting

    The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners, and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

    Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders.

-2-


    If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or a vote by classes is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these bylaws. The board of directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders, in such officer's discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

    2.9
    Validation of Meetings; Waiver of Notice; Consent

    The transactions of any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they had been taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, who was not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent or approval need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of stockholders. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

    Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at that meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

    2.10
    Stockholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting

    The stockholders of the corporation may not take action by written consent without a meeting but must take any such actions at a duly called annual or special meeting.

    2.11
    Record Date for Stockholder Notice; Voting; Giving Consents

    For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote thereat or entitled to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any such action without a meeting, and in such event only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date.

    If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:

    (a)
    the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and

    (b)
    the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given as required by Section 2.10, or (ii) when prior action by the board has been taken, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating to that action.

    A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; providing, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. The record date for any other purpose shall be as provided in Article VIII of these bylaws.

-3-


    2.12
    Proxies

    Every person entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

    2.13
    Inspectors of Election

    The board of directors of the corporation may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the board of directors, the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the board of directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, and such acts may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (vi) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (vii) determination of the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; (viii) counting and tabulation of all votes or consents; (ix) hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; (x) any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders and (xi) the appointment of an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment in respect of one or more of the foregoing matters. The board of directors or chairman may hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote.

    2.14
    Advance Notice of Stockholder Business

    To be properly brought before an annual meeting, any business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.14 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.14.

The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

    2.15
    Advance Notice of Director Nominations

    Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of holders of preferred stock of the corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

    No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.15. If the Chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.


ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS

    3.1
    Powers

    Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.

    3.2
    Number and Term of Office

    The authorized number of directors shall be established from time to time by resolution of the board of directors or by amendment of this Section 3.2, duly adopted by the board of directors or by the stockholders.

    No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

    3.3
    Resignation and Vacancies

    Any director may resign effective on giving notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, the secretary or the board of directors, unless the notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. If the resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the board of directors (including such director whose resignation is to be effective at a later time) may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

    Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies arising through death, resignation, removal, an increase in the number of directors or otherwise may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

-6-


Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

    3.4

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER AGENTS

    6.1
    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other Than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation

    Subject to Section 6.3 of this Article VI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

    6.2
    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation

    Subject to Section 6.3 of this Article VI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with

-12-


the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

    6.3
    Authorization of Indemnification

    Any indemnification under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders (but only if a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, if they constitute a quorum of the board of directors, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the shareholders for their determination). Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

    6.4
    Good Faith Defined

    For purposes of any determination under Section 6.3 of this Article VI, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful, if such person's action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 6.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article VI, as the case may be.

    6.5
    Indemnification by a Court

    Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.3 of this Article VI, and not withstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article VI. The basis of such indemnification

-13-


by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.3 of this Article VI nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

    6.6
    Expenses Payable in Advance

    Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VI.

    6.7
    Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Article VI shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VI shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article VI but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

    6.8
    Insurance

    The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

    6.9
    Certain Definitions

    For purposes of this Article VI, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VI, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation "shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the

-14-


corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this Article VI.

    6.10
    Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

    6.11
    Limitation on Indemnification

    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 6.5 hereof), the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the board of directors of the corporation.

    6.12
    Indemnification of Employees and Agents

A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

    The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the

-15-


corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

    7.3

    For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than action by stockholders by written consent without a meeting), the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days before any such action. In that case, only stockholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date so fixed, except as otherwise provided by law.

    If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the applicable resolution or the sixtieth (60th) day before the date of that action, whichever is later.

    8.2
    Checks; Drafts; Evidences of Indebtedness

-16-


    From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

    8.3
    Corporate Contracts and Instruments: How Executed

    The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

    8.4
    Stock Certificates; Partly Paid Shares

    The shares of a corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed in the name of the corporation by(a) the chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors, or the chief executive officer, president or vice-president, and by (b) the chief financial officer, treasurer, secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

    8.5
    Special Designation on Certificates

    If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

    8.6
    Lost Certificates

    Except as provided in this Section 8.6, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and canceled at the same time. The board of directors may, in case any share certificate or certificate for any other security is lost, stolen or destroyed, authorize the issuance of replacement certificates on such terms and conditions as the board may require; the board may require indemnification of the corporation secured by a bond or other adequate security sufficient to protect the corporation against any claim that may be

-17-


made against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of the certificate or the issuance of the replacement certificate.

    8.7
    Construction; Definitions

    Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person. Also without limiting the generality of this provision, for purposes of these Bylaws, "electronic transmission" means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.


ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS

    These bylaws of the corporation may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders entitled to vote or by the board of directors. All such amendments must be approved by either the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote thereon or by a majority of the board of directors then in office. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, alter, amend or repeal bylaws.

Certificate by Assistant Secretary

    The undersigned hereby certifies that he is the duly elected Assistant Secretary of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation and that the foregoing Bylaws, comprising twenty-one (21) pages, were adopted as the Bylaws of the corporation on            , 2001, by the board of directors.

EXHIBIT D
Form of Indemnification Agreement for
SeeBeyond Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation



SEEBEYOND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

    This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of this    by and between SeeBeyond Technology Corporation., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and     ("Indemnitee").


RECITALS

    A.  The Company desires to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees and other agents, and to provide them with protection against liability and expenses incurred while acting in that capacity;

    B.  The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company contain provisions for indemnifying directors and officers of the Company, and the Bylaws and Delaware law contemplate that separate contracts may be entered into between the Company and its directors and officers, employees and other agents with respect to their indemnification by the Company, which contracts may provide greater protection than is afforded by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws;

    C.  The Company understands that Indemnitee has reservations about serving or continuing to serve the Company without adequate protection against personal liability arising from such service, and that it is also of critical importance to Indemnitee that adequate provision be made for advancing costs and expenses of legal defense; and

    D.  The Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company have approved as being in the best interests of the Company indemnity contracts substantially in the form of this Agreement for directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and for certain other employees and agents of the Company designated by the Board of Directors.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and in consideration of Indemnitee's service to the Company, the parties agree as follows:

    1.  Contractual Indemnity. In addition to the indemnification provisions of the Bylaws of the Company, the Company hereby agrees, subject to the limitations of Sections 2 and 5 hereof:

        (a) To indemnify, defend and hold Indemnitee harmless to the greatest extent possible under applicable law from and against any and all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts reasonably incurred or suffered by Indemnitee (including attorneys' fees) in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Company, to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (collectively referred to hereafter as a "Claim"), whether or not arising prior to the date of this Agreement.

        (b) To pay any and all expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in defending any Claim or Claims (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs of investigation and defense), as the same are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of any such Claim or Claims, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to reimburse such amounts if it shall be ultimately determined that Indemnitee (i) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement, and (ii) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company.

    The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best


interests of the Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

    2.  Limitations on Contractual Indemnity. Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under Section 1:

        (a) if a court of competent jurisdiction, by final judgment or decree, shall determine that (i) the Claim or Claims in respect of which indemnity is sought arise from Indemnitee's fraudulent, dishonest or willful misconduct, or (ii) such indemnity is not permitted under applicable law; or

        (b) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; or

        (c) for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability under the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

        (d) with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to proceedings brought in good faith to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law, or (ii) at the Company's discretion, in specific cases if the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; or

        (e) for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company; or

        (f)  on account of any suit brought against Indemnitee for misuse or misappropriation of non-public information, or otherwise involving Indemnitee's status as an "insider" of the Company, in connection with any purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company.

    3.  Continuation of Contractual Indemnity. Subject to the termination provisions of Section 11, all agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible action, suit, proceeding or other assertion of a Claim or Claims.

    4.  Expenses; Indemnification Procedure. The Company shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action or proceeding referenced in Section 1 hereof (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action or proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

    5.  Notification and Defense of Claim. If any action, suit, proceeding or other Claim is brought against Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement:

        (a) Indemnitee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and the Company and any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense or to assume the defense thereof and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed received three (3) business days after the date postmarked if sent by domestic certified or registered mail,

-2-


    properly addressed; otherwise notice shall be deemed received when such notice shall actually be received by the Company. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection with any such Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the Company shall not have assumed the defense of the Claim and employed counsel for such defense, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both Indemnitee and the Company, and Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that joint representation is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to a material conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company, in either of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Company upon delivery to the Company of the undertaking referred to in subparagraph (b) of Section 1. However, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay the fees or expenses of more than one firm of attorneys representing Indemnitee and any other agents of the Company in connection with any one Claim or separate but substantially similar or related Claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

        (b) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the Company's written consent, and the Company shall not settle any Claim in a manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement and, provided further, that if a claim is settled by the Indemnitee with the Company's written consent, or if there be a final judgment or decree for the plaintiff in connection with the Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment.

        (c) Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

        (d) Any indemnification provided for in Section 1 shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a Claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 13 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be reimbursed for the expenses (including attorneys' fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Subsection 4 unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties' intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal

-3-


    counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

        (e) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Claim, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

    6.  Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee against any Claim to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors, an officer or other corporate agent, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitee's rights and Company's obligations, under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute, or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors, an officer, or other corporate agent, such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by applicable law to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.

    7.  Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

    8.  Public Policy. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

    9.  Insurance. Although the Company may from time to time maintain insurance for the purpose of indemnifying Indemnitee and other agents of the Company against personal liability, including costs of legal defense, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Company to do so.

    10. No Restrictions. The rights and remedies of Indemnitee under this Agreement shall not be deemed to exclude or impair any other rights or remedies to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or under any other agreement, provision of law or otherwise, nor shall anything contained herein restrict the right of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee in any proper case even though not specifically provided for in this Agreement, nor shall anything contained herein restrict Indemnitee's right to contribution as may be available under applicable law.

    11. Termination. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time upon 90 days written notice, but any such termination will not affect Claims relating to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination.

    12. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable

-4-


for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

    13. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation or other action or proceeding to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party as determined by the court shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs, in addition to such relief as may be awarded by a court or other tribunal.

    14. Further Assurances. The parties will do, execute and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts, documents and things as may be reasonably required for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

    15. Acknowledgment. The Company expressly acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereunder in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve as an agent of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying on this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve in such capacity.

    16. Construction of Certain Phrases.

        (a) "Company": For purposes of this Agreement, references to the "Company" shall also include, in addition to the resulting corporation in any consolidation or merger to which Software Technologies Corporation is a party, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

        (b) Benefit Plans: References to "fines" contained in this Agreement shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries.

    17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

    18. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by written notice.

-5-


    19. Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment.

        (a) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into in Delaware.

        (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee and the Company, their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

        (c) No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
