PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Manhattan provides information technology solutions for distribution
centers that are designed to enable the efficient movement of goods through the
supply chain. Our solutions are designed to optimize the receipt, storage,
assembly and distribution of inventory and the management of equipment and
personnel within a distribution center, and to meet the increasingly complex
information requirements of manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Our
solutions consist of software, including PkMS, a comprehensive and modular
software system; services, including design, configuration, implementation,
training and support; maintenance, including scheduled software upgrades; and
hardware. We currently provide solutions to manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and transportation providers primarily in the apparel, consumer
products, food service and grocery markets. As of December 31, 1998, our
software was licensed for use by more than 375 customers including Abbott
Laboratories, Calvin Klein, Dean Foods, Jockey International, Mikasa, Nordstrom,
Patagonia, Playtex Apparel, SEIKO Corporation of America, Siemens Energy and
Automations, The Sports Authority, Timberland, Warnaco and Venator Group.
Industry Background
Over the past two decades, the flow of goods through the supply chain from
manufacturers to consumers has undergone significant changes. These changes
began in the United States textile industry, which, faced with increased global
competition, implemented an industry-wide initiative in the 1980s to lower the
cost of goods sold through more efficient inventory management. This
initiative, which became known as "Quick Response," uses technology to improve
the flow of information among manufacturers, distributors, retailers and
transportation providers. Quick Response has allowed retailers to more rapidly
advise manufacturers and distributors of their inventory replenishment needs and
has allowed manufacturers and distributors to more efficiently restock
retailers. As a result, textile product retailers have been able not only to
reduce their idle inventory and cost of goods sold, but also to offer a broader
range of products with fewer product shortages or stock-outs. The increase in
direct-to-consumer, catalog and Internet distribution strategies represents an
additional competitive threat to these retailers.
More recently, the consumer products industry experienced a similar supply
chain re-engineering, driven primarily by the emergence of national superstore
chains and category stores. The business model of these stores, which promotes
wider product offerings, lower gross profit margins and a higher rate of
inventory turnover than traditional stores, represented a competitive threat to
retailers of similar products.
2
In order to remain competitive in this changing retail landscape, many
retailers have demanded that manufacturers and distributors apply Quick Response
principles to their supply chain operations to achieve lower costs and higher
levels of service. These retailers impose financial penalties, or charge-backs,
on providers who fail to comply with these services. Retailers' demands include
more sophisticated distribution services, including:
. more frequent store-specific inventory replenishments;
. more customized packing of goods within each delivery to reduce in-store
unpacking times;
. more sophisticated packaging and labeling of goods to meet merchandising
strategies;
. compliance with unique, customer-specific shipping standards; and
. the exchange of trading information in compliance with electronic data
interchange, or EDI, standards.
Demand for these more sophisticated distribution services requires
significant modification of distribution center operations for manufacturers and
distributors. For example, a manufacturer that previously may have made one
bulk shipment to each of six customer distribution centers each month may now be
required to ship more than 10,000 custom-packed and labeled orders per month
directly to multiple customers' stores or to the customers' distribution centers
for immediate reshipment to stores. This level of customization requires a
continuous exchange of information among manufacturers, distributors, retailers
and transportation providers.
As a result of these retailer demands, distribution centers have increased
in size, complexity and cost. Distribution centers today can comprise one
million square feet or more with thousands of stock keeping units, or "SKUs",
and multi-million dollar investments in automated materials handling equipment.
The efficient management of a distribution center operation now requires
collecting information regarding:
. customer orders;
. inbound shipments of products;
. products available on-site;
. product storage locations;
. weights and sizes;
. outbound shipping data including customer- or store-specific shipping
requirements, routing data and carrier requirements; and
. electronic communication with other participants in the supply chain.
This information must be analyzed dynamically to determine the most
efficient use of the distribution center's labor, materials handling equipment,
packaging equipment and shipping and receiving areas. Additionally,
manufacturers, distributors and retailers must exchange information with other
participants in the supply chain in order to effectively integrate the operation
of their distribution centers with the entire supply chain.
3
In response to these new distribution center challenges, companies have
implemented information technology systems designed to manage this new
distribution environment. Gartner Group, an independent industry analysis and
research firm, estimates that the distribution center management systems market
totaled more than $900 million in revenue in 1997, and that the market is
currently growing at 35% annually. Furthermore, Gartner Group projects that the
majority of the current installed base of largely internally developed software
will be replaced by 2001. An effective distribution center management system
must have the ability to integrate with:
. enterprise resource planning, or ERP, systems;
. supply chain management, or SCM, systems such as transportation, order
management and demand planning; and
. the existing distribution center equipment, including related radio
frequency, or RF, equipment and automated materials handling equipment.
In addition, customers frequently require their distribution center
management systems to incorporate customer-driven modifications to their
packaging, information and transportation services, new technologies and newly-
defined best practices in their industry. Distribution center management
systems also must operate with high reliability and efficiency while supporting
very high transaction volumes and multiple users, and therefore are almost
exclusively deployed on UNIX or large-scale enterprise servers.
Traditionally, distribution center management systems have been highly
customized, difficult to upgrade and have required costly and lengthy
implementations. Furthermore, these systems have not readily supported the
increased volumes and complexities associated with recent advances in supply
chain re-engineering initiatives. Specifically, they have failed to quickly
incorporate changing industry and customer-specific shipping standards. Most
providers of these systems have not focused on specific vertical markets but
rather have attempted to customize their solutions to differing vertical market
demands with each implementation. As a result, many of these providers have
been unable to effectively leverage industry-specific expertise for use in
future implementations.
The Manhattan Solution
We provide information technology solutions for distribution centers that
are designed to enable the efficient movement of goods through the supply chain.
Our solutions are designed to optimize the receipt, storage and distribution of
inventory and the management of equipment and personnel within a distribution
center, and to meet the increasingly complex information requirements of
manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Our solutions consist of software,
including PkMS, a comprehensive and modular software system; services, including
design, configuration, implementation, training and support; maintenance,
including software upgrades; and hardware. We currently provide solutions to
manufacturers, distributors and retailers primarily in the apparel, consumer
products, food service and grocery markets.
4
PkMS allows organizations to manage the receiving, storage, stock locating,
stock picking, order verification, assembly, order packing and shipment of
products in complex distribution centers. PkMS is designed to optimize the
operation of a distribution center by:
. increasing inventory turnover;
. improving inventory accuracy;
. reducing response times;
. reducing inventory levels;
. complying with industry shipping standards;
. communicating with other participants in the supply chain; and
. increasing the productivity of labor, facilities and materials handling
equipment.
We have developed robust, high volume systems for manufacturers,
distributors and retailers of consumer products to support Quick Response and
other industry and supply chain initiatives. PkMS employs leading database
technology and can be easily integrated with third party software applications,
including the ERP and SCM systems of our customers.
Our solutions feature PkMS, a modular software system that, together with
our consulting, implementation and maintenance services, provides:
. Comprehensive Functionality--PkMS addresses a full range of requirements
of modern, complex distribution centers with an existing product rather
than custom-designed and developed applications. PkMS provides
comprehensive functionality for specific vertical markets incorporating
industry-wide initiatives.
. Ease of Implementation--PkMS' modular design, along with our knowledge of
specific vertical markets and expertise in planning and installation,
allows our solutions to be implemented more rapidly than highly-
customized distribution center management systems. A typical
implementation can often be completed within six months. Because of
its modular design, PkMS can be implemented in phases to meet specific
customer demands.
. Timely Response to Industry Initiatives--PkMS features a comprehensive
maintenance program to provide our customers with timely software
upgrades offering increased functionality and technological advances
which address emerging supply chain and other industry initiatives.
. Flexibility and Configurability--PkMS is designed to be easily configured
to meet a distribution center's specific requirements and reconfigured to
meet changing customer requirements.
. Scaleability--PkMS is designed to facilitate the management of evolving
distribution center systems to accommodate increases in the number of
system users, complexity and distribution volume.

Strategy
Our objective is to be the leading provider of information technology
solutions that enable distribution centers to more efficiently manage the
movement of goods through the supply chain. We will continue to provide
solutions to targeted vertical markets by offering advanced, highly functional,
highly scaleable applications that allow customers to leverage their investment
in distribution centers and meet frequently-changing customer requirements. Our
strategy to achieve this objective includes the following key elements:
Enhance Core Product Functionality. We intend to continue to focus our
product development resources on the development and enhancement of PkMS to
extend its functionality within our targeted vertical markets. We also plan to
continue to provide frequent upgrades to address evolving industry standards. We
identify further enhancements to PkMS through on-going customer consulting
engagements and implementations, interactions with our user groups and
participation in industry standards and research committees.
Target New Vertical Markets. To date we have focused our marketing, sales
and product development efforts on specific vertical markets, particularly in
the apparel manufacturing industry. We are increasingly targeting additional
vertical markets, including food service, grocery and other retailers. In
addition, we plan to target other vertical markets that adopt Quick Response,
Efficient Consumer Response and similar industry initiatives. We will also
target industries employing direct-to-consumer, catalog and Internet
distribution strategies.
Expand Sales, Services and Marketing Organizations. We currently sell and
support our products primarily through our direct sales and services personnel.
We plan to invest significantly in expanding our sales, services and marketing
organizations and to pursue strategic marketing partnerships with systems
integrators and third party software application providers.
Develop International Sales. We have historically focused our sales
efforts on customers in the United States. We intend to add sales personnel and
establish additional offices focused on international opportunities and pursue
strategic marketing partnerships with international systems integrators and
third party software application providers.
Expand Integration with Complementary Products. We believe that the
ability to offer a software solution that can extend integration with leading
third party software applications will continue to provide a significant
competitive advantage. We intend to continue to develop PkMS to integrate with
complementary ERP, SCM and other business applications.
Expand Supply Chain Information Offering. We plan to expand our current
product offerings to include functions to help synchronize electronic
information exchange among supply chain partners. Because of our large customer
base and industry experience, we believe we are well-positioned to compile
retail routing guides, shipping instructions and additional compliance
requirements and incorporate this information on an ongoing basis into our
software products.

Consulting Services. Our consulting services provide our customers with
expertise and assistance in planning and implementing our solutions. To ensure
a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the
initial installation of a system, the conversion and transfer of the customer's
historical data onto our system, and ongoing training, education and upgrades.
We believe that our consulting services enable the customer to implement our
software rapidly, ensure the customer's success with our solution, strengthen
the relationship with the customer, and add to our industry-specific knowledge
base for use in future implementations and product development efforts.
Although our consulting services are optional, substantially all of our
customers use these services for the implementation and ongoing support of our
software products. Consulting services are billed on an hourly basis. We
believe that increased sales of our software products will drive higher demand
for our consulting services. Accordingly, we plan to continue to substantially
increase the number of consultants to support anticipated growth in product
implementations and upgrades. To the extent we are unable to attract, train and
retain qualified consulting personnel, our operating results may be adversely
affected.
Our consulting services group consists of business consultants, systems
analysts and technical personnel devoted to assisting customers in all phases of
systems implementation including planning and design, customer-specific
configuring of modules, and on-site implementation or conversion from existing
systems. Our consulting personnel undergo training on distribution center
operations and our products. We believe that this training, together with the
ease of implementation of our products, enables us to productively use newly-
hired consulting personnel more rapidly than our competitors. We may
increasingly use third party consultants, such as those from major systems
integrators, to assist in certain implementations.
Maintenance. We offer a comprehensive maintenance program which provides
our customers with timely software upgrades offering increased functionality and
technological advances that incorporate emerging supply chain and other industry
initiatives. As of December 31, 1998, a majority of our customers had
subscribed to our comprehensive maintenance support program. We have the
ability to remotely access the customer's system in order to perform
diagnostics, on-line assistance and software upgrades. All of our annual
maintenance agreements entitle customers to software product upgrades. We offer
a standard annual maintenance option providing for customer telephone support
during normal business hours for 15% of the current software license fee and 24
hour maintenance for 20% percent of the current software license fee.
Hardware. Our products operate on multiple hardware platforms utilizing
various hardware systems and interoperate with many third party software
applications and legacy systems. This open system capability enables customers
to continue using their existing computer resources and to choose among a wide
variety of existing and emerging computer hardware and peripheral technologies.
In conjunction with the licensing of our software, we resell a variety of
hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties in order to
provide our customers with an integrated distribution center management
solution. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal
networks, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all
third party hardware products pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or
through distributor authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are
entitled to purchase hardware products at discount prices and to receive
technical support in connection with product installations and any subsequent
product malfunctions. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only
after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain any
significant hardware inventory.
Sales and Marketing
To date, we have generated substantially all of our revenue through our
direct sales force. We plan to continue to invest significantly in expanding
our sales, support, services and marketing organizations within the United
States and Europe, and to pursue strategic marketing partnerships. We conduct
comprehensive marketing programs that include advertising, public relations,
trade shows, joint programs with vendors and consultants and ongoing customer
communication programs. The sales cycle typically begins with the generation of
a sales lead or
8
the receipt of a request for proposal from a prospective customer. The sales
lead or request for proposal is followed by the qualification of the lead or
prospect, an assessment of the customer's requirements, a formal response to the
request for proposal, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits to
an existing customer using our distribution center management system and
contract negotiation. The sales cycle can vary substantially from customer to
customer but typically requires three to six months.
Customers
To date, our customers have been primarily manufacturers, distributors and
retailers in the apparel, consumer products, food service and grocery market
segments. We plan to expand our presence in the retail, direct consumer, health
and beauty products, and industrial products markets and among outsourcers of
distribution center management services and third party logistics providers. As
of December 31, 1998, we had licensed our software for use by more than 375
customers including Abbott Laboratories, Calvin Klein, Dean Foods, Jockey
International, Mikasa, Nordstrom, Patagonia, Playtex Apparel, SEIKO Corporation
of America, Siemens Energy and Automations, The Sports Authority, Timberland,
Warnaco and Venator Group. The following table sets forth a representative list
of our customers as of December 31, 1998, that have purchased at least $100,000
in products and services from us.

Our top five customers in aggregate accounted for 14%, 22% and 26% of total
revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue
during any of the three years ended December 31, 1998.
Product Development
Our development efforts are focused on adding new functionality to existing
products and enhancing the operability of our products across distributed and
changing hardware platforms, operating systems and database systems. We believe
that our future success depends in part upon our ability to continue to enhance
existing products, respond to changing customer requirements and develop and
introduce new or enhanced products that incorporate new technological
developments and emerging industry standards. To that end, our development
efforts frequently focus on base system enhancements incorporating new user
requirements and potential features identified through customer interaction and
systems implementations. As a result, we are able to continue to offer our
customers a highly configurable product with increasing functionality rather
than a custom-developed software program.
We are currently devoting a significant portion of our research and
development efforts to the enhancement of the distributed N-Tier architecture
version of PkMS, which currently operates using Windows 95/98/NT and standard
radio frequency device clients and the UNIX server operating environments. This
distributed N-Tier version is designed to allow different software applications
and systems and hardware platforms to operate together more efficiently. We are
also currently developing new functionality for PkMS, such as features designed
to enhance worker productivity, improve yard management and schedule inbound
shipment receiving appointments. We also plan to focus development efforts on
integrating the SLOT-IT application into future releases of PkMS. We plan to
continue to conduct our development efforts internally in order to retain
development knowledge and promote the continuity of programming standards.
Our research and development expenditures for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 were $7.4 million, $3.0 million and $1.2 million,
respectively. We intend to continue to increase our investment in product
development in the future.
Competition
Our products are targeted at the distribution center management systems
market, which is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological
change. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products
include:
. vendor and product reputation;
. compliance with industry standards;
. product architecture, functionality and features;
. ease and speed of implementation;
. return on investment;
. product quality, price and performance; and
. level of support.
10
We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors.
Our competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various
aspects of the supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. Our existing
competitors include:
. distribution center management software vendors including Catalyst
International, Inc., EXE Technologies, Inc., Optum, Inc. and McHugh
Software International, Inc.;
. ERP or SCM application vendors that offer warehouse management
functionality or modules of their suite, such as JD Edwards or SAP;
. the corporate information technology departments of potential customers
capable of internally developing solutions; and
. smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to
develop distribution center management software that competes with our
software solution.
We may face competition in the future from ERP and SCM applications vendors
and business application software vendors that may broaden their product
offerings by internally developing, or by acquiring or partnering with
independent developers of, distribution center management software. To the
extent such ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems with functionality
comparable or superior to our products, their significant installed customer
bases, long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a broad
solution could provide a significant competitive advantage over us. In
addition, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new
competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Increased
competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced
gross margins and loss of market share.
Many of our competitors and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers
than we do. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond
promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors' innovations.
There can be no assurance that our current or potential competitors will not
develop products comparable or superior in terms of price and performance
features to those developed by us. In addition, no assurance can be given that
we will not be required to make substantial additional investments in connection
with our research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in
order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete
successfully in the future. Increased competition will result in reductions in
market share, pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross
margins, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to
achieve our financial and business goals. There can be no assurance that in the
future we will be able to successfully compete against current and future
competitors.
International Operations
During 1998, the Company commenced operations in the United Kingdom. Total
revenues for the United Kingdom were approximately $130,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1998, which represents less than 1% of the Company's total
revenues.
Proprietary Rights
We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark, service
mark and trade dress laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions
to protect our proprietary rights in our products and technology. We have a
registered trademark in "PkMS" and trademarks in "SLOT-IT" and the Manhattan
logo. We have no registered copyrights. We generally enter into
confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, clients and
potential clients and limit access to, and distribution of, our proprietary
information. We license PkMS to our customers in source code format and
restrict the customer's use for internal purposes without the right to
sublicense the PkMS or SLOT-IT product. However, we believe that this provides
us only limited protection. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our
proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, we cannot
11
assure that we will successfully deter misappropriation or independent third
party development of our technology or to prevent an unauthorized third party
from copying or obtaining and using our products or technology. In addition,
policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and while we are unable
to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exist, software
piracy could become a problem.
As the number of supply chain management applications in the industry
increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, companies
that develop software may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement
or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Third parties may assert
infringement or misappropriation claims against us in the future for current or
future products. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and
cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing
arrangements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Adverse determinations in such claims or litigation could also have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to additional risks as we enter into transactions in
countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly
enforced. Legal protections of our rights may be ineffective in such countries.
Litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could result
in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations,
regardless of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite our efforts to
safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and
abroad, we cannot assure that we will be successful in doing so, or that the
steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation or
independent third party development of our technology or to prevent an
unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our
products or technology. Any of these events could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
All statements, trend analysis and other information contained in the
following discussion relative to markets for our products and trends in revenue,
gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements
including words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate,"
"expect," and "intend" and other similar expressions constitute forward-
looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to business
and economic risks and uncertainties, and our actual results of operations may
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Manhattan provides information technology solutions for distribution
centers that are designed to enable the efficient movement of goods through the
supply chain. Our solutions are designed to optimize the receipt, storage and
distribution of inventory and the management of equipment and personnel within a
distribution center, and to meet the increasingly complex information
requirements of manufacturers, distributors, retailers and transportation
providers. Our solutions consist of software, including PkMS, a comprehensive
and modular software system; services, including design, configuration,
implementation, training and support; maintenance, including software upgrades;
and hardware. We currently provide solutions to manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and transportation providers primarily in the apparel, consumer
products, food service and grocery markets.
Manhattan's revenue consists of revenue from the licensing of PkMS, and
beginning in February 1998, SLOT-IT; fees for consulting, implementation,
training and maintenance services; and revenue from the resale of complementary
radio frequency and computer equipment. In recent years, we have experienced an
increase in services revenue and a decrease in hardware revenue as a percentage
of total revenue. Services revenue generally provides us with greater profit
margins than hardware revenue.
Effective January 1, 1998, we adopted Statement of Position No. 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), which supersedes Statement of
Position No. 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." Under SOP 97-2, we
recognize software license revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a
signed contract is obtained; (2) shipment of the product has occurred; (3) the
license fee is fixed and determinable; (4) collectibility is probable; and (5)
remaining obligations under the license agreement are insignificant.
Manhattan's services revenue consists of revenue generated from services
and maintenance related to our software solutions. Services revenue is derived
from fees based on consulting, implementation and training services. Consulting,
implementation and training services performed by Manhattan are generally billed
on an hourly basis and revenue is recognized as the services are performed.
Maintenance revenue represents amounts paid, generally in advance, by users for
the support and enhancements to the software. Maintenance revenue is recognized
ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, typically 12 months.
Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware
products, developed and manufactured by third parties, that are integrated with
and complementary to our software solutions. As part of a complete distribution
center management solution, our customers frequently purchase hardware from us
in conjunction with the licensing of PkMS and other software. These products
include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, bar code printers
and scanners and other peripherals. We recognize hardware revenue upon
shipment. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving
an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain any significant
hardware inventory.
16
During the fourth quarter of 1998, we invested substantially in new product
development. In particular, we invested in a Third Party Logistics billing
product and an Engineered Labor Standards product and made significant progress
in the development of three new products: an integrated version of Slot-It for
windows, the Optimization suite of products and the Internet Transportation
Guides. In conjunction with the development of these products we capitalized
approximately $600,000 of research and development expenses in the fourth
quarter. Those capitalized costs will be amortized over three years commencing
upon the availability of the anticipated products. We anticipate capitalizing
additional costs relating to these products as well as new products in the
future.
Prior to April 23, 1998, we elected to report as a limited liability
company that is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, and, as a
result, we were not subject to federal and state income taxes. Pro forma net
income amounts discussed below include additional provisions for income taxes on
a pro forma basis as if we were liable for federal and state income taxes as a
taxable corporate entity throughout the periods presented. The pro forma tax
provision is calculated by applying our statutory tax rate to pretax income,
adjusted for permanent tax differences. Our status as a limited liability
company terminated immediately prior to the effectiveness of our initial public
offering in April 1998, and we have been taxed as a business corporation since
that time.
On February 16, 1998, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Performance Analysis Corporation, or PAC, for approximately $2.2 million in cash
and 106,666 shares of our common stock valued at $10.00 per share. PAC is a
developer of distribution center slotting software. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of approximately $3.3 million
was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including acquired
research and development of approximately $1.6 million, purchased software of
$500,000, and other intangible assets of $765,000. Purchased software is being
amortized over an estimated two-year useful life and other intangible assets are
being amortized over a seven-year period. In connection with the PAC
acquisition, we recorded a charge to income of $1.6 million in the first quarter
of 1998 for acquired research and development. We have focused development
efforts on integrating the SLOT-IT application into future products.
We determined the value of the acquired research and development of
approximately $1.6 million based on the estimated costs to reproduce the efforts
that PAC incurred to begin the development of the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT.
We estimated the time to reproduce the product to be 20 man years. This
estimate was based on the actual time incurred by PAC to develop the software
and our years of experience developing and commercializing technologies on these
platforms in this industry. Our management and the President and founder of
PAC, Daniel Basmajian, Sr., estimated that PAC has put in 40 man years (based on
an average of 4 developers over a period of 10 years) to develop both the DOS
based version of SLOT-IT (which was being marketed at the time of the
acquisition) and the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT (which was being developed at
the time of the acquisition.). If we were to have recreated the Windows NT
version of SLOT-IT with the benefit of an existing DOS based version, we believe
we would have spent 20 man years to conceive, design and develop the Windows NT
version that existed at the acquisition date. We estimated that this
development would have taken 10 employees approximately 2 years to develop, or
20 man years. We estimated the cost per employee based on an estimated fully-
loaded cost per development employee per year and applied that cost to the 20
man years. The fully-loaded cost of $77,000 per year per development employee
was based on the actual average salary per development employee of $70,000 plus
payroll taxes of 7% ($5,000) and employee benefits of 3% ($2,000). This fully-
loaded cost per development employee was increased by 8% for the second year of
development.
17
We used the cost-based approach to value acquired research and development
in the acquisition of PAC. While the cost-based approach is not a widely used
methodology, we believe this approach is acceptable based on our experience with
similar transactions in the past and our experience in developing cost estimates
for designing and developing technology in the industry. Many acquisitions in
the software industry, however, are accounted for utilizing an income-based
approach to the valuation of acquired research and development. Although we
believe that an income-based approach often provides a more precise valuation,
because a market had not been established for the Windows NT product, and future
cash flow projections were thus not available, we elected to use the cost-based
approach.
We accounted for this $1.6 million amount as acquired research and
development as we intend to continue completing the development and integration
of the SLOT-IT Windows NT version into PkMS. We originally estimated the cost
to complete the development of the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT and to fully
integrate the product into PkMS to range from approximately $500,000 to
$1,000,000. We originally expected to complete development and to begin to
benefit from the acquired project in the last half of 1999. We currently expect
to complete the Windows NT version of SLOT-IT in the first quarter of 1999. We
are still in the process of integrating the SLOT-IT software into PkMS. We
cannot assure a successful completion of this integration or that the resulting
products, if completed, will achieve market acceptance. If such projects are
unsuccessful, our business, financial condition and results of operations would
likely be materially adversely affected.
In October 1998, we purchased certain assets of Kurt Salmon Associates,
Inc., or KSA. The total purchase price for these assets was approximately $2.2
million consisting of $1.75 million in cash and assumed liabilities of
approximately $450,000. The purchase price was allocated to the intangible
assets acquired, including a customer list, assembled workforce, purchased
software, trade names and goodwill. The assets are being amortized over periods
ranging from one to ten years.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 is effective for the Company's
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The Company's management does not believe
that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
Revenue
Our revenue consists of software license revenue, revenue derived from
consulting, maintenance and other services and revenue from the sale of
hardware. Total revenue increased 125.4% from $14.4 million in 1996 to $32.5
million in 1997. Total revenue increased 91.2% from $32.5 million in 1997 to
$62.1 million in 1998. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to an
increase in revenue from services and an increase in revenue from software
licenses.
Software License. Software license revenue increased 113.5% from $3.4
million in 1996 to $7.2 million in 1997. Software license revenue increased
93.0% from $7.2 million in 1997 to $13.8 million in 1998. The increase in
revenue from software licenses was primarily due to an increase in the number
of licenses of the Company's PkMS product and, to a lesser extent, new license
revenue as a result of the acquisition of PAC. Additionally, there was an
increase in the average price of software licenses. The increase in the
average price of software licenses is primarily due to increased product
functionality and market acceptance of PkMS.
19
Services. Services revenue increased 131.1% from $6.2 million in 1996 to
$14.4 million in 1997 Services revenue increased 124.5% from $14.4 million in
1997 to $32.4 million in 1998. The increase in revenue from services was
principally due to the increased demand for these services resulting from the
increased demand for the Company's PkMS product.
Hardware. Hardware revenue increased 126.3% from $4.8 million in 1996 to
$10.9 million in 1997. Hardware revenue increased 46.0% from $10.9 million in
1997 to $15.9 million in 1998. The increase in revenue from hardware was
principally due to the increased demand for the Company's PkMS product.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Software License. Cost of software license revenue consists of the
costs of software reproduction and delivery, media, packaging, documentation
and other related costs and the amortization of capitalized software. Cost of
software license revenue increased from $177,000 or 5.3% of software license
revenue, in 1996 to $461,000, or 6.4% of software license revenue, in 1997.
Cost of software license revenue increased from $461,000, or 6.4% of software
license revenue, in 1997 to $920,000, or 6.7% of software license revenue, in
1998. As a percentage of software license revenue, cost of software license
revenue remained relatively constant from 1996 to 1998.
Cost of Services. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of
consultant salaries and other personnel-related expenses incurred in system
implementation projects and software support services. Cost of services
revenue increased from $2.0 million, or 32.5% of services revenue, in 1996 to
$6.1 million, or 42.7% of services revenue, in 1997. Cost of services revenue
increased from $6.1 million, or 42.7% of services revenue, in 1997 to $15.3
million, or 47.2% of services revenue, in 1998. The increase in cost of
services revenue was primarily due to increased personnel as a result of
increased demand for services. The increase in cost of services revenue as a
percentage of services revenue in both 1997 and 1998 is principally due to
increased training and other costs related to the increase in services
personnel.
Cost of Hardware. Cost of hardware revenue increased from $3.7 million, or
77.6% of hardware revenue, in 1996 to $8.0 million, or 73.5% of hardware
revenue, in 1997. Cost of hardware revenue increased from $8.0 million, or
73.5% of hardware revenue, in 1997 to $11.8 million, or 74.2% of hardware
revenue, in 1998. The cost of hardware as a percentage of hardware revenue
decreased in 1997 compared to 1996 principally due to an increase in the
volume of sales of hardware products with higher gross margins. The increase
in the cost of hardware revenue as a percentage of hardware revenue in 1998 as
compared to 1997 was attributable to an increase in the volume of sales of
hardware products with lower gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. Research and development expenses principally
consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs for personnel involved
in the Company's product development efforts. The Company's research and
development expenses increased by 144.7% from $1.2 million in 1996, or 8.6% of
total revenue to $3.0 million in 1997, or 9.3% of total revenue. The
Company's research and development expenses increased by 145.6% from $3.0
million in 1997, or 9.3% of total revenue to $7.4 million in 1998, or 12.0% of
total revenue. The increases in research and development expenses were
principally due to the addition of development personnel to enhance existing
products and for new product development efforts. Significant product
development efforts include the continued development of enhancements to PkMS
and the development of a client/server version of PkMS. The Company believes
that a continued commitment to product development will be required for the
Company to remain competitive and expects the dollar amount of research and
development expenses to increase in the near future.
20
Acquired Research and Development. In February 1998, the Company purchased
all of the outstanding stock of PAC for approximately $2.2 million in cash and
106,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. In connection with this
acquisition, approximately $1.6 million of the purchase price was allocated to
acquired research and development and expensed during the first quarter of
1998.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries,
commissions and other personnel-related costs, travel expenses, advertising
programs and other promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses
increased by 87.9% from $1.9 million in 1996, or 13.2% of total revenue to
$3.6 million in 1997, or 11.0% of total revenue. Sales and marketing expenses
increased by 153.4% from $3.6 million in 1997, or 11.0% of total revenue to
$9.0 million in 1998, or 14.6% of total revenue. The increase in sales and
marketing expenses was the result of additional sales and marketing personnel,
an increase in sales commissions and expanded marketing program activities.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive,
financial and human resources and administrative personnel, as well as
facilities, legal, insurance, accounting and other administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by 104.6% from $1.5 million in
1996, or 10.1% of total revenue to $3.0 million in 1997, or 9.2% of total
revenue. General and administrative expenses increased by 126.3% from $3.0
million in 1997, or 9.2% of total revenue to $6.7 million in 1998, or 10.8% of
total revenue. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
principally due to increased staffing and other administrative expenses
necessary to support the Company's growth.
Income Taxes
Provision for Income Taxes. Prior to the initial public offering in April
1998, the Company's predecessor, Manhattan Associates Software, LLC, was
treated as a partnership and was not subject to federal income taxes. The
income or loss of Manhattan Associates Software, LLC was included in the
owners' individual federal and state tax returns, and as such, no provision
for income taxes was recorded in the accompanying statements of income prior
to April 23, 1998. The provision for income taxes in 1998 was $3.0 million,
net of a one-time benefit of $316,000, and the Company's effective income tax
rate was 36.0%.
In connection with the conversion of Manhattan Associates Software, LLC to
Manhattan Associates, Inc., the Company recognized a one-time benefit of
$316,000 by recording the asset related to the future reduction of income tax
payments due to temporary differences between the recognition of income for
financial statements and income tax regulations.
Pro Forma Provision for Income Taxes. The pro forma provision for income
taxes was $1.5 million in 1996 as compared to $3.0 million in 1997, as a
result of the Company's substantially increased income in 1997. The pro forma
provision for income taxes was $3.0 million in 1997, as compared to $4.2
million in 1998, as a result of the Company's substantially increased income
in 1998. The Company's effective pro forma income tax rates were 37.4%, 36.3%
and 41.1% in 1996, 1997 and 1998. The increase in the effective pro forma
income tax rate during 1998 was the result of the in-process research and
development charge being non-deductible. Excluding the effect of the in-
process research and development charge, the Company's effective pro forma tax
rate was 35.6% in 1998.
Earnings per Share
Pro Forma Net Income per Share. Pro forma net income was $2.5 million, or
$0.12 per diluted share, and $5.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Excluding the effect of
a one-time acquired research and development charge of $1.6 million, pro forma
net income was $7.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Including the effect of the one-time acquired research and
development charge, the Company's pro forma net income was $6.1 million, or
$0.24 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 1998.

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====
Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and
may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Factors which could cause
variations in our quarterly revenue and operating results are:
. demand for our products;
. introductions of new products by our competitors;
. the level of price competition by our competitors;
. customers' budgeting and purchasing cycles;
. delays in our implementations at customer sites;
. timing of hiring new services employees and the rate at which such
employees become productive;
. development and performance of our distribution channels;
. timing of any acquisitions and related costs; and
. identification of software quality problems.
Most of our expenses, such as employee compensation and rent, are
relatively fixed. Moreover, our expense levels are based, in part, on our
expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in
revenue in relation to our expectations could cause significant changes in our
operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses.
As a result of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of
our revenue levels and operating results are not necessarily meaningful. You
should not rely on our quarterly revenue and operating results to predict our
future performance.
23
Our ability to undertake new projects and increase revenue is substantially
dependent on the availability of our consulting services personnel to assist in
the implementation of our software solution. We believe that supporting high
growth in revenue requires us to rapidly hire additional skilled personnel for
our consulting services group, and there can be no assurance that qualified
personnel could be located, trained or retained in a timely and cost-effective
manner.
As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-
quarter comparisons of results are not necessarily meaningful, and such
comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
Fluctuations in operating results may also result in volatility in the price of
the shares of our common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1998, we had $32.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 1997. We
maintain a line of credit of $8.0 million that can be used for working capital
requirements on an as-needed basis.
Our operating activities provided cash of $2.9 million in 1998, $7.0
million in 1997 and $4.0 million in 1996. Cash from operating activities arose
principally from our profitable operations and was used for working capital
purposes, principally increases in accounts receivable. The increase in
accounts receivable was primarily the result of our continued revenue growth.
Our investing activities used approximately $14.5 million, $1.8 million and
$485,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Our
use of cash for the year ended December 31, 1998 was primarily for the purchase
of short term investments, the acquisition of PAC and certain assets of KSA, and
the purchase of capital equipment, such as computer equipment and furniture and
fixtures, to support our growth. Our use of cash for 1997 and 1996 was primarily
for the purchase of capital equipment, such as computer equipment and furniture
and fixtures, to support our growth.
Our financing activities provided approximately $36.1 million in 1998. The
principal source of cash provided by financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was additional borrowings under a Grid Promissory Note with
the majority shareholder and proceeds from the issuance of common stock in our
initial public offering, partially reduced by distributions to our shareholders
prior to our initial public offering and the repayment of the note payable to
the majority shareholder. Our financing activities used approximately $5.1
million in 1997 and $2.8 million in 1996. The principal use of cash was
distributions to our shareholders, partially reduced by borrowings from our
majority shareholder.
We entered into a line of credit with a commercial bank to fund our April
1998 distribution to Manhattan LLC shareholders and other working capital needs.
The line of credit does not contain any conditions or restrictive covenants that
would materially affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations. No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit at December
31, 1998.
We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital
expenditure needs at least for the next twelve months. Thereafter, we may
require additional sources of funds to continue to support our business.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Statement
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded
to accept only two digit entries in date code fields. Beginning in the year
2000, many of these systems will need to be modified to accept four digit
entries or otherwise distinguish twenty-first century dates from twentieth
century dates. As a result, over the next year, many companies will need to
upgrade their computer systems and software products to comply with these "Year
2000" requirements.
24
In September 1998, we formed our Year 2000 Readiness Committee to oversee
our Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program, which includes the following tasks:
. establishing our standard for Year 2000 Readiness;
. designing test parameters for our products, information technology, or
IT, and non-IT systems;
. overseeing our remediation program, including establishing priorities for
remediation and allocating available resources;
. overseeing the communication of the status of our efforts to our
customers; and
. establishing contingency plans in the event that we experience Year 2000
disruptions.
We describe our products as "Year 2000 Ready" when they have been
successfully tested using the procedure prescribed in our Readiness Assessment
Program. This procedure defines the criteria used to design tests that seek to
determine the Year 2000 readiness of a product. Under our criteria, a software
product is Year 2000 Ready if it:
. will completely and accurately address, present (in a two-digit format),
produce, store and calculate data involving dates beginning January 1,
2000 and will not produce abnormally ending or incorrect results
involving such dates as used in many forward or regression date based
functions;
. will provide that all "date"-related functionalities and data fields
include the indication of century and millennium, whether shown on-screen
or internally noted; and
. will perform calculations that involve a four-digit year field, provided
that the data input into our software from any other source has the same
Year 2000 capabilities and is in a format that is compatible with our
software.
Because the latest versions of our products are designed to be Year 2000
compliant, our Year 2000 remediation efforts with respect to our own products
have focused on determining the compliance of our earlier software products as
implemented in our installed customer base, as well as the impact of any non-
compliance on us and our customers. We offer our customers the alternatives of
implementing a modification to their non-compliant versions of our software or
migrating to a later version of the software that is Year 2000 Ready. Because
our software is often marketed as an integrated system that includes hardware
and operating or interface software from third parties over which we can assert
little control, the Year 2000 Readiness Committee is evaluating the Year 2000
Readiness of such systems and the risks associated with the failure of such
third parties to adequately address the Year 2000 issue.
Our Year 2000 Readiness Committee is also addressing our Year 2000
readiness with respect to both IT and non-IT systems on which our operations
rely. As a result of our recent rapid growth, we have, or expect we will have by
the end of 1999, replaced or significantly upgraded substantially all of our
core IT systems, including those related to sales, customer service, human
resources, finance and other enterprise resource planning functions. We believe
that the upgraded systems are all Year 2000 Ready, and we have received
assurances from the vendors of these systems to that effect. We are reviewing
our remaining IT systems for Year 2000 Readiness and expect to modify, replace
or discontinue the use of non-compliant systems before the end of 1999. In
addition, we are in the process of evaluating our Year 2000 readiness with
respect to non-IT systems, including systems embedded in our communications and
office facilities. In many cases these facilities have been recently upgraded or
are scheduled to be upgraded before year-end 1999 as a result of our recent
growth. Finally, because we rely upon relationships with third parties, such as
providers of telecommunications and similar infrastructure services, over which
we can assert little control, the Year 2000 Readiness Committee is also
assessing the risks associated with the failure of these third parties to
adequately address Year 2000 issues.
25
We do not currently believe that the effects of any Year 2000 non-
compliance in our installed base of software will result in a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However,
our investigation is in its preliminary stages, we may be exposed to potential
claims resulting from system problems associated with the century change. There
can also be no assurance that our software products that are designed to be Year
2000 compliant contain all necessary date code changes. In addition, Year 2000
non-compliance in our internal IT systems or certain non-IT systems on which our
operations rely or by our business partners may have an adverse impact on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
The majority of the work performed for our Year 2000 Readiness Assessment
Program has been completed by our staff. The total costs for completing the Year
2000 Readiness Assessment Program, including modifications to our software
products, is estimated to be between $0.5 million and $1.0 million, funded
through our internal operating cash flows. This cost does not include the cost
of new software, or for modifications to existing software, or our core IT and
non-IT systems, as these projects were not accelerated due to the Year 2000
issue.
Our evaluation of Year 2000 issues includes the development of contingency
plans for business functions that are most susceptible to a substantive risk of
disruption resulting from a Year 2000 related event. Because we have not yet
identified any business function that is materially at risk of Year 2000 related
disruption, we have not yet developed detailed contingency plans specific to
Year 2000 events for any business function. We are prepared for the possibility,
however, that we may identify risks in certain business functions, and we will
develop contingency plans for these business functions when and if we identify
them as being at risk.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Foreign Exchange
During 1998, the Company commenced operations in the United Kingdom. Total
revenues for the United Kingdom were less than 1% of the Company's total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The Company's international business is subject to risks typical of an
international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other
regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility.
Accordingly, the Company's future results could be materially adversely impacted
by changes in these or other factors. The effect of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations on the Company in 1998 was not material.
Interest Rates
The Company invests its cash in a variety of financial instruments,
including taxable and tax-advantaged variable rate and fixed rate obligations of
corporations, municipalities, and local, state and national governmental
entities and agencies. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash
balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances.
Interest income on the Company's investments is carried in "Other income,
net" on our Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company accounts for its
investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("SFAS 115"). All of the cash equivalents and short-term
investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS 115.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning
instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates,
while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest
rates fall. Due in part to these factors, the Company's future investment
income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or the
Company may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have
seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. The weighted-
average interest rate on investment securities at December 31, 1998 was
approximately 4%. The fair value of securities held at December 31, 1998 was
$26.0 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of Manhattan Associates, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MANHATTAN
ASSOCIATES, INC. (a Georgia corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31,
1997 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business
Manhattan Associates, Inc. ("Manhattan" or the "Company") develops,
markets, and supports supply chain execution systems primarily focused on
distribution center management. The Company's primary product, PkMS, is a
comprehensive and modular designed software system that assists in the
management of inventory, storage, distribution, equipment, and personnel within
a distribution center. The Company also provides professional services
including design, configuration, implementation, training, and support.
Completion of Initial Public Offering and Conversion
On April 23, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of its $.01 par value per share common stock (the "Common Stock").
The Company sold 3,500,000 shares of common stock, excluding 525,000 shares sold
by certain selling shareholders as part of the underwriters' over-allotment, for
$52,500,000 less issuance costs of approximately $5,242,000.
In connection with the Company's initial public offering Manhattan
Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed. The attached consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Manhattan Associates, LLC
("Manhattan LLC") from January 1, 1996 to April 23, 1998 and include the
accounts of Pegasys Systems Incorporated ("Pegasys") prior to January 1, 1996.
Prior to December 31, 1995, Manhattan operated as Pegasys which was, at the
time, 100% owned by Manhattan LLC's current majority shareholder ("Majority
Holder"). As of the effective date of the Offering, Manhattan LLC contributed
its assets and liabilities to the Company in exchange for common stock of the
Company (the "Conversion"). Manhattan LLC then distributed the common stock of
the Company received to its shareholders and Manhattan LLC was dissolved.
Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, Manhattan LLC
distributed all undistributed earnings, calculated on a tax basis, to the
shareholders of Manhattan LLC. The amount distributed subsequent to December
31, 1997 and prior to the completion of the initial public offering was
approximately $11,720,000. These distributions were funded through a series of
payments from available Company cash and from the proceeds of the Company's line
of credit. The advances or balance on the line of credit incurred to fund these
distributions was repaid using a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering.
All share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been adjusted to reflect the Conversion. Unless otherwise
indicated, all references to the Company or Manhattan assume the completion of
the Conversion and include Manhattan LLC and Pegasys.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Short-term Investments
The Company's short-term investments are categorized as available-for-sale
securities, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate
component of shareholders' equity until realized. For the purposes of computing
realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification
basis. At December 31, 1998, unrealized gains and losses were not significant
and have not been presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts
payable, and other financial instruments included in the accompanying balance
sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term
maturities of these instruments.
Risks Associated with Single Product Line, Technological Advances, and Hardware
Revenue
The Company currently derives substantially all its revenues from sales of
its PkMS software and related services and hardware. Any factor adversely
affecting the distribution management center market could have an adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The market for distribution center management systems is subject to rapid
technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing products
and services obsolete. As a result, the Company's position in this market could
be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer requirements for application
features, functions, and technologies. The Company's growth and future
operating results will depend, in part, upon its ability to enhance existing
applications and develop and introduce new applications that meet changing
customer requirements, that respond to competitive products and that achieve
market acceptance.
The Company resells a variety of hardware products developed and
manufactured by third parties. Revenue from such hardware sales can amount to a
significant portion of the Company's total revenue in any period. As the market
for distribution of hardware products becomes more competitive, the Company's
customers may find it attractive to purchase such hardware directly from the
manufacturer of such products, with a resultant decrease in the Company's
revenues from hardware.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software;
fees from consulting, implementation, training, and maintenance services; and
revenue from the sale of complementary radio frequency and computer equipment.
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company recognized software
license revenue in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 91-1, "Software
Revenue Recognition." Accordingly, software license revenue is recognized upon
shipment of the software following execution of a contract, provided that no
significant vendor obligations remain outstanding, amounts are due within one
year, and collection is considered probable by management. If significant post-
delivery obligations exist, the revenue from the sale of the software license,
as well as other components of the contract, is recognized using percentage of
completion accounting.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SOP No. 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), that supersedes SOP No. 91-1, "Software
Revenue Recognition." Under SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes software license
revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed and executed contract
is obtained; (2) shipment of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is
fixed and determinable; (4) collectibility is probable; and (5) remaining
obligations under the license agreement are insignificant.
The Company's services revenue consists of revenue generated from
consulting and maintenance related to the Company's software product. Services
revenue is derived from fees based on consulting, implementation, and training
services contracted under separate service agreements. Revenue related to
consulting, implementation, and training services performed by the Company are
generally billed on an hourly basis and revenue is recognized as the services
are performed. Maintenance revenue represents amounts paid, generally in
advance, by users for the support and enhancements to the software. Maintenance
revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement,
typically 12 months.
Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware
products, developed and manufactured by third parties, that are integrated with
and complementary to the Company's software solution. As part of a complete
distribution center management system solution the Company's customers
frequently purchase hardware from the Company in conjunction with the licensing
of software. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency
terminals networks, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals.
Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment The Company generally purchases
hardware from its vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a
result, the Company does not maintain significant hardware inventory.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily represents amounts collected prior to complete
performance of maintenance services.

Returns and Allowances
The Company provides for the costs of returns and product warranty claims
at the time of sale. The Company has not experienced significant returns or
warranty claims to date and, as a result, has not recorded a provision for the
cost of returns and product warranty claims at December 31, 1997 or 1998.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of furniture, computers, other office
equipment, purchased software, and leasehold improvements. The Company
depreciates the cost of furniture, computers, other office equipment and
purchased software on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives
(three years for computer equipment and software, five years for office
equipment, seven years for furniture). Leasehold improvements are depreciated
over the term of the lease. Included in computer equipment and software is a
capital lease of approximately $965,000 as of December 31, 1998. Depreciation
and amortization expense for property and equipment for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 was $143,000, $349,000 and $1,294,000, respectively.
Property and equipment, at cost, consist of the following:

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include purchased software, goodwill and capitalized
development costs. The assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
a period of 1 to 10 years. Total amortization expense was $133,000, $133,000
and $406,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
and is included in cost of software licenses and general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
Income Taxes
Prior to April 23, 1998, Manhattan LLC was treated as a partnership, and
Pegasys was an S Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended; therefore, neither company was subject to federal income
taxes. The income or loss of Manhattan LLC and Pegasys was included in the
owners' individual federal and state tax returns, and as such, no provision for
income taxes is recorded in the accompanying statements of income prior to April
23, 1998. The Company and Pegasys have historically made distributions on
behalf of the owners to pay anticipated tax liability.
In connection with the Conversion, the Company recognized a one-time
benefit in April 1998 of $316,000 by recording the asset related to the future
reduction of income tax payments due to temporary differences between the
recognition of income for financial statements and income tax regulations. Pro
forma net income amounts discussed herein include provisions for income taxes on
a pro forma basis as if the Company were liable for federal and state income
taxes as a taxable corporate entity throughout the periods presented. The pro
forma income tax provision has been computed by applying the Company's
anticipated statutory tax rate to pretax income, adjusted for permanent tax
differences (Note 3).
Capitalized Software Development Costs
Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Computer software development costs are charged to research and development
expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining
software production costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." The Company has
defined technological feasibility as the point in time at which the Company has
a detailed program design or a working model of the related product, depending
on the type of development efforts. The Company concluded that the amount of
development costs capitalizable under the provisions of SFAS No. 86 was not
material to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997. Therefore, the Company expensed all internal software development costs
as incurred for the years ended December 31, 1996, and 1997. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the Company capitalized $614,000 in development costs.
Amounts capitalized include salaries and other payroll-related costs and other
direct expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
The Company periodically reviews the values assigned to long-lived assets,
including property and intangible assets, to determine whether events and
circumstances have occurred which indicate that the remaining estimated useful
lives may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be
recoverable. Management believes the long-lived assets in the accompanying
balance sheets are appropriately valued.
Segment Information
The Company operates in a single segment as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of and
Enterprise and Related Information" and does not have significant operations in
foreign locations.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using historical or pro forma net
income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding ("Weighted Shares") for the period presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed using historical or pro forma net
income divided by Weighted Shares, and the treasury stock method effect of
common equivalent shares ("CES's") outstanding for each period presented. Pro
forma basic and diluted net income per share also includes the number of shares
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
1B.3, that at the assumed public offering price would yield proceeds in the
amount necessary to pay the shareholder distribution that is not covered by the
earnings for the year ("Distribution Shares").
No adjustment is necessary for historical and pro forma net income for net
income per share presentation. The following is a reconciliation of the shares
used in the computation of net income per share for the years ended December 31,

Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan for stock issued
to employees under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and, accordingly, records deferred
compensation for options granted at an exercise price below the fair value of
the underlying stock. The deferred compensation is presented as a component of
equity in the accompanying balance sheets and is amortized over the periods to
be benefited, generally the vesting period of the options. Effective in fiscal
year 1996, the Company adopted the pro forma disclosure option for stock-based
compensation issued to employees of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
New Accounting Pronouncement
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is effective for the Company's fiscal
year ending December 31, 2000. The Company does not expect that SFAS No. 133
will have a significant impact on the Company's financial position.

contracted with parties related to the Majority Holder for marketing and legal
services for an aggregate amount of $289,000, $389,000 and $17,000,

4. NOTE PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER
The Company's short-term debt as of December 31, 1997 consists of a note
payable (the "Shareholder Note") to the Majority Holder, bearing interest at 5%.
The Shareholder Note was due on demand and unpaid interest accrued to the
principle balance. The balance of the Shareholder Note including accrued
interest was $1,019,000 as of December 31, 1997. In February 1998, the Company
borrowed an additional $900,000 under the Shareholder Note. The balance of the
Shareholder Note was repaid using a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering.
5. LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a revolving line of credit facility with a commercial bank
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Under the terms of
the facility, the Company may request advances in an aggregate amount of up to
$8,000,000. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus
one-half percent. The facility contains certain financial covenants that the
Company believes are typical for a facility of this nature and amount, including
a covenant not to pay cash dividends. This facility will expire in March 1999,
unless renewed. There were no outstanding amounts under the credit facility at
December 31, 1998.

6. STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Manhattan Associates LLC Option Plan (the "LLC Option Plan") became
effective on January 1, 1997. The LLC Option Plan is administered by a
committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The aggregate number of shares
reserved for issuance under the LLC Option Plan was 5,000,000 shares. The
options are granted at terms determined by the committee; however, the option
cannot have a term exceeding ten years. Options granted under the LLC Option
Plan have vesting periods ranging from immediately to six years. Subsequent to
February 28, 1998, no additional options could be granted pursuant to the LLC
Option Plan.
Prior to the establishment of the LLC Option Plan, the Company issued
options to purchase 661,784 shares of common stock to certain employees. These
grants contain provisions similar to options issued under the LLC Option Plan.
The Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders in February
1998. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock
options. Optionees have the right to purchase a specified number of shares of
common stock at a specified option price and subject to such terms and
conditions as are specified in connection with the option grant. The Stock
Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. The committee has the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the
administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Stock Incentive
Plan generally and to interpret the provisions thereof. Options granted under
the Stock Incentive Plan cannot have a term exceeding ten years and typically
vest over a period of three to six years.
As adopted originally, up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to
adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events), less the
number of shares issued under the LLC Option Plan, could be issued pursuant to
stock options and other stock incentives granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.
In August 1998, the Board of Directors amended the Stock Incentive Plan to
increase by 1,000,000 the number of shares which can be issued pursuant to stock
options and other stock incentives granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.
A summary of changes in outstanding options is as follows:

The Company recorded deferred compensation of $970,000 and $580,000 on
options granted during 1997 and 1998, respectively, as the exercise price was
less than the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock. The Company
amortizes deferred compensation over a period not to exceed six years. The
Company recognized compensation expense of $307,000 and $285,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and had deferred compensation
expense of $958,000 at December 31, 1998.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is
required by SFAS No. 123, which also requires that the information be determined
as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock option grants under the
fair value method required by SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option grant
has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions:
1996 1997 1998
----------------- ---------------- -------------
Dividend yield......................................... -- -- --
Expected volatility................................... 65% 65% 88%
Risk-free interest rate at the date of grant.......... 5.8%-6.3% 5.7%-6.3% 4.0%
Expected life......................................... 4-6 years 1-6 years 5 years
Using these assumptions, the fair values of the stock options granted
during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 are $35,000, $3,625,000
and $9,099,000, respectively, which would be amortized over the vesting period
of the options.
The weighted average fair market values of options at the date of grant for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $0.30, $1.67 and $8.48,
respectively.

7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Issuance of Stock
On May 5, 1997, the Majority Holder granted to two employees and a
consultant, all of whom are related to the Majority Holder, options to purchase
shares of the Company's stock from the Majority Holder. This grant did not
result in additional shares being outstanding as the shares under option were
currently outstanding and held by the Majority Holder. This grant included a
grant of an option to purchase 80,000 and 50,000 shares of the Company's stock
held by the Majority Holder to two employees of the Company and a grant of an
option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's stock held by the Majority
Holder to a consultant of the Company. The stock options were then exercised by
the employees and the consultant of the Company for a nonrecourse, noninterest-
bearing note to the Majority Holder with a term equal to the contractual term of
the option. The exercise price was equal to the fair value of the Company's
stock at the date of grant of $2.50 per share. The Company recorded the grant
to the employees of the Company under APB Opinion No. 25 and recorded no
compensation expense on the date of grant as the grant was issued at fair value
and due to the nonvariable nature of the nonrecourse note. The Company recorded
$75,000 of compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 1997 for the
option granted to the consultant.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
In September 1997, the Company entered into a 62-month lease for office
space beginning on November 1, 1997. The lease requires monthly payments of
$90,000 for the 14-month period ended December 31, 1998 subject to annual
increases as defined. In addition, the Company is a party to a lease agreement
ending in 2001. The agreement required monthly payments of approximately
$20,000 subject to an increase of 3% in each 12 month period after the first
year. Additionally, the Company received the first month's rent free. The 3%
escalation and the first month's free rent were recognized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the lease. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1997 and
1998, the Company has recorded a liability for deferred rent in the amount of
$108,000 and $87,000, respectively, included in accrued liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheets.
In November 1998, the Company entered into an 84-month capital lease for
telephone equipment beginning on December 1, 1998. The lease requires monthly
payments of approximately $17,000.
Rents charged to expense were approximately $257,000, $466,000 and
$1,740,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Legal Matters
Many of the Company's installations involve products that are critical to
the operations of its clients' businesses. Any failure in a Company product
could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company, regardless
of the Company's responsibility for such failure. Although the Company attempts
to limit contractually its liability for damages arising from product failures
or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance the limitations of
liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all instances.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
potential liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
9. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which
establishes standards for reporting and display of "comprehensive income" and
its components, in the first quarter of 1998. Comprehensive income for the
Company consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Total historical comprehensive income was $3,976,000, $8,334,000 and $7,311,000
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. The difference between
net income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
$7,000 related to the foreign currency translation adjustment.
10. ACQUISITIONS
On February 16, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Performance Analysis Corporation ("PAC") for $2,200,000 in cash and 106,666
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $10.00 per share (the "PAC
Acquisition"). PAC is a developer of distribution center slotting software.
The PAC Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of
approximately $3,300,000, has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of $464,000, including acquired research and development of
$1,602,000, purchased software of $500,000, and other intangible assets of
$765,000. Purchased software is being amortized over an estimated two-year
useful life and other intangible assets are being amortized over a seven-year
useful life.
In October 1998, the Company purchased certain assets of Kurt Salmon
Associates, Inc., or KSA. The total purchase price for these assets was
approximately $2,200,000 consisting of $1,750,000 in cash and assumed
liabilities of approximately $450,000. The purchase price was allocated to the
intangible assets acquired, including a customer list, assembled workforce,
purchased software, trade names and goodwill. The assets are being amortized
over periods ranging from one to ten years.
Unaudited pro forma operating results for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1998, assuming that the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1997
are as follows:
Year ended December 31,

$130,000, $609,000 and $283,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1998.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company sponsors the Manhattan Associates 401(k) Plan and Trust (the
"401(k) Plan"), a qualified profit sharing plan with a 401(k) feature covering
substantially all employees of the Company. Under the 401(k) Plan's deferred
compensation arrangement, eligible employees who elect to participate in the
401(k) Plan may contribute up to 10% of eligible compensation, as defined, to
the 401(k) Plan. The Company provides for a 50% matching contribution up to 6%
of eligible compensation being contributed after the participant's first year of
employment. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the

$159,000, respectively.

31, 1997, the Company provided up to 8% of the participant's yearly compensation
after the participant's first year of employment. During the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company made matching contributions to the
Pension Plan of $162,000 and $224,000, respectively. The Plan was terminated in
1998.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, by Agreement of Lease, dated July 31, 1987, as amended
November 10, 1987, April 30, 1988, August 4, 1989, October 10, 1989, November 7,

and November 10, 1997 and supplemented by that Supplemental Agreement, dated
July 31, 1987 (herein collectively called the "Prime Lease" and attached as
Exhibit "A"), International Business Machines Corporation ("Sublessor") leases
from Wildwood Associates (the "Prime Lessor") the third (3rd) and fourth (4th)
floor and certain additional space in the building known as 2300 Windy Ridge
Parkway, (South Tower), Wildwood Office Park, Atlanta, Georgia (the "Building");
and
WHEREAS, by Sublease Agreement, dated December 22, 1993, as amended
January 31, 1995, (herein collectively called "Sublease" and attached as Exhibit
"B") SRC subleases from Sublessor the third (3rd ) and fourth (4th) floors of
the South Tower; and
WHEREAS, SRC desires to sub-sublease to MA and MA desires to sub-
sublease from SRC a portion of the third (3rd) floor in the South Tower
consisting of approximately 6,551 rentable square feet [5,623 usable square feet
as measured per BOMA standards] (the "Premises") attached as Exhibit "C".
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and for
other good and valuable consideration and of the mutual agreements hereinafter
set forth, SRC and MA stipulate, covenant and agree as follows:
1. PREMISES
SRC does hereby Sub-sublease to MA a portion of the Building
consisting of approximately 6,551 square feet of rentable area on the
third (3rd) floor (the "Premises") as outlined in red and crosshatched
on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. This Sub-
sublease includes the right of MA to use the Common Building
Facilities in common with other tenants in the Building and SRC's
parking spaces, as provided in Section 14 of this Sub-sublease.
2. TERM
The term shall commence on the Commencement Date, as defined in
Section 4 hereof, and shall expire on December 30, 2002.
3. USES
The Premises shall be used for office space in accordance with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental
authorities and the Rules and Regulations attached to the Prime Lease.
MA covenants and agrees to abide by the Rules and Regulations in all
respects as
now set forth and as hereafter promulgated by Prime Lessor. Prime
Lessor shall have the right at all times during the Lease Term to
publish and promulgate and thereafter enforce such rules and
regulations or changes in the existing Rules and Regulations as it may
reasonably deem.
4. RENT
Beginning on the Commencement Date, MA shall pay annual Base Rent of
$20.00 per square foot, in the amount of one hundred thirty-one
thousand and twenty dollars ($131,020) per year, to be paid each year
while this Sub-sublease Agreement is in effect in twelve equal monthly
installments of ten thousand nine hundred and eighteen and 33/100
dollars ($10,918.33). The Commencement Date shall be the earlier of
(a) the date when MA has commenced doing business at the Premises or
(b) August 1, 1998. There will not be any increase of the Base Rent
throughout the entire term.
MA shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as described in
Paragraph 5, (collectively the "Rent") provided for hereunder in
advance on the first day of every month during the Term. Rent shall be
a prorated rate for fractions of a month if this Sub-sublease
commences or expires (as the case may be) for any reason on any day
other than the lst or last day of the calendar month, respectively. MA
shall make payment of Base Rent and any additional rent payable to
SRC, to SRC at the address in Paragraph 9.
5. ADDITIONAL RENT
If MA shall procure any additional services from the Building, such as
alterations or after-hour air-conditioning MA shall pay for same at
the rates charged therefor by the Prime Lessor and shall make such
payment to SRC or Prime Lessor, as SRC shall direct. Any Rent or other
sums payable by MA under this Paragraph 5 shall be considered
Additional Rent and collectible by SRC as such. If SRC shall receive
any refund from Prime Lessor, MA shall be entitled to the return of so
much thereof as shall be attributable to prior payments by MA.
However, MA is not responsible for paying any pass through in
operating expenses above the base year amount of $6.50 per rentable
square foot per annum.
6. PREPARATION FOR OCCUPANCY
On or before July 17, 1998, SRC shall at its own expense construct a
demising wall between the Premises and SRC's other space in the
Building. SRC shall pay for all costs associated with the demising of
the space including any permits or plans required to demise the space.
On or before July 17, 1998, SRC shall deliver possession of the
Premises to MA for the purpose of constructing tenant improvements, if
any. The Premises shall then be vacant and in broom clean condition.
MA will at its sole expense, perform or cause to be performed,
construction of the Premises as it desires, provided that prior to the
commencement of construction MA shall have obtained the written
consent of SRC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, to MA's construction plans. MA shall be responsible for
obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises following the
completion of construction, if any.
7. INCORPORATION OF PRIME LEASE
(a) This Sub-sublease is subject to all of the terms of the Prime
Lease and the Sublease with the same force and effect as if fully
set forth herein at length, excepting only as otherwise
specifically provided herein. All of the terms with which Sublessor is
bound to comply under the Prime Lease shall, to the extent only that
they apply to the Premises and except as otherwise provided herein, be
binding upon MA, and all of the obligations of Prime Lessor set forth
in the Prime Lease shall, to the extent only that they apply to the
Premises and except as otherwise provided herein, inure to the benefit
of MA. It is the intention of the parties that, except as otherwise
provided in this Sub-sublease, the relationship between SRC and MA
shall be governed by the language of the various articles of the Prime
Lease as if they were typed out in this Sub-sublease in full, and the
words "Landlord," "Tenant" and "Lease" as used in the Prime Lease,
shall read, respectively "SRC," "MA" and "Sub-sublease".
(b) For the purpose of this Sub-sublease, the following provisions of the
Prime Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety:
Section 1.01(b); Section 2.01; Section 2.02; Section 2.03; Section
3.01; Section 3.02; Section 3.03; Section 3.04; Section 3.05; Section
3.06; Section 3.07; Section 3.08; Article 4, titled "Preparation for
Occupancy, Term Commencement Date"; Section 10.02(d); Section 10.02(e);
Section 10.02(g); Article 21, titled "Option for Additional Space";
Article 22; Article 23, titled "First Refusal Sale"; Article 25, titled
"Holdover"; Article 26, Article 27, titled "Assignment and Subletting";
Article 36, Article 37, titled "Broker"; and Section 39.07.
8. QUIET ENJOYMENT
(a) SRC covenants and agrees with MA that upon MA paying the rent and
additional rent reserved in this Sub-sublease and materially observing
and performing all of the other obligations, terms, covenants and
conditions of this Sub-sublease on MA's part to be observed and
performed, MA may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises and Common
Building Facilities (in common with other tenants) during the term;
provided, however, that this Sub-sublease shall automatically terminate
upon termination of the Prime Lease and MA shall have no claim against
SRC unless such termination was caused by the default of SRC in the
performance of those obligations (under the Prime Lease) which have not
been assumed by MA hereunder. SRC will indemnify and hold harmless MA
from and defend MA against all claims, liabilities, losses and damages
(excepting special and consequential damages) that MA may incur by
reason of, resulting from or arising out of any such termination of the
Sub-sublease due to SRC's default. SRC covenants and agrees that (i)
SRC will not enter into a consensual agreement with Sublessor to
terminate the Sublease, and (ii) SRC will not terminate the Sublease as
it pertains to the Premises unless SRC is entitled to do so by reason
of Sublessor's default or by the condemnation and casualty provisions
of the Sublease.
(b) MA covenants and agrees that MA shall not do or suffer or permit
anything to be done (within its control) which would constitute a
default under the Prime Lease or the Sublease or would cause the Prime
Lease or Sublease to be canceled, terminated or forfeited by virtue of
any rights of cancellation, termination, or forfeiture reserved or
vested in Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease and Sublessor under the
Sublease, and that MA will indemnify and hold harmless SRC from and
defend SRC against all claims, liabilities, losses and damages of any
kind whatsoever (excepting special and consequential damages) that SRC
may incur by reason of, resulting from or arising out of any such
cancellation, termination or forfeiture.
9. NOTICES
Any notice, demand, or request under this Sub-sublease shall be in writing
and shall be considered properly delivered when addressed as hereinafter
provided and delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight
courier service to the addressee set forth in the preamble of this
Agreement. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver
because of a changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed
to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent. Address for notice may
be changed by either party by giving 30 days written notice to the current
address of record.
10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
MA agrees that it shall not assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or encumber
its interest in this Sub-sublease, in whole or in part, or sublet or permit
the subletting of the Premises, or permit the Premises or any part thereof
to be occupied or used by any person or entity other than MA, in each case
without first obtaining the prior written consent of SRC, which consent SRC
will not unreasonably withhold or delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MA
may Sub-sublease or assign its interest in the Premises to an "Affiliate,"
as hereinafter defined, without Sublessor's consent, but MA shall notify
SRC in advance of such proposed assignment or Sub-sublease to an Affiliate
and shall promptly deliver to SRC copies of all documentation related to
such assignment or Sub-sublease. No such assignment or Sub-sublease shall
operate to release MA from its obligations under this Sub-sublease. Failure
of SRC to obtain the consent of Prime Lessor or submission by MA of a
proposed assignee or subtenant who, in the option of SRC reasonably
exercised, is a competitor of SRC shall in each case be a reasonable and
conclusive basis for withholding consent. The term "Affiliate" as used
herein shall mean any parent corporation or any subsidiary which controls
or is controlled by MA or any corporation in which or with which MA is
merged or consolidated, provided that by operation of law or by effective
provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation the
liabilities of the corporations participating in such merger or
consolidation are assumed by the corporation surviving such merger or
created by such consolidation. The term "control" shall mean ownership of
not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting rights attributable to
the shares of the controlled corporation.
11. PRIME LESSOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
MA recognizes that SRC is not in a position to furnish the services set
forth in the Prime Lease, obtain an agreement of nondisturbance, or to
perform certain other obligations which are not within the control of SRC,
such as, without limitation, maintenance, repairs and replacements to the
Building and Premises, compliance with laws and restoration of the Premises
and Building after casualty or condemnation. Therefore, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-sublease, MA agrees that MA
will look solely to the Prime Lessor, to furnish all services and to
perform all obligations which are applicable to MA as agreed upon by Prime
Lessor under the Lease to furnish and perform. Except as specifically set
forth in this Section 11, SRC shall not be liable to MA or be deemed in
default hereunder for failure of Prime Lessor to furnish or perform the
same. However, whenever under the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Lessor
shall fail to perform any of its Prime Lease obligations pertaining to the
Premises. MA may, at its option, enforce performance thereof if and to the
extent authorized by the terms of the Prime Lease, and SRC shall cooperate
with MA in such enforcement. In addition, SRC agrees to use reasonable good
faith efforts to enforce Prime Lessor's obligations under the Prime Lease.
12. FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES
Provided MA is not in default hereunder, in the event that there is a
failure to furnish the janitorial, water, electricity, elevator or HVAC
services specified in the Prime Lease, and if the loss of such service is
of a material nature so as to render the Premises substantially unusable
for the purposes contemplated by this Sub-sublease, after written notice
thereof by MA to SRC and Prime Lessor, and if Prime Lessor does not
promptly commence action to restore same or if so commenced, does not
continue such action with reasonable diligence until the same are restored,
then, in such event, and upon the giving of written notice to SRC and Prime
Lessor, and if such default continues to remain uncured for more than five
(5) consecutive business days after such written notice, MA's Rent shall
abate, based upon the portion or portions of the Premises affected by such
interruption of service and the degree of adverse affect of the
interruption upon the normal conduct of MA's business at the Premises,
until such interruption is remedied. Notwithstanding the forgoing, SRC may
prevent or stop any such abatement of Base Rental by providing
substantially the same service by temporary or alternative means until the
cause of loss of service can be corrected, and provided further, abatement
under this stipulation shall be MA's sole remedy for failure to provide
services. In the event that such services are not substantially restored
within thirty (30) consecutive days after such written notice, then MA
shall have the right, upon written notice to SRC given within forty-five
(45) days after such written notice, to terminate this Sub-sublease.
13. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
Article 10.01, titled "Damage or Destruction," and Article 12, titled
"Condemnation," of the Prime Lease are modified to provide that if by
operation of either of these two Articles the Prime Lease is not terminated
and continues in full force and effect, this Sub-sublease shall not be
terminated but shall also continue in full force and effect, except that
until the Premises are restored in accordance with these two Articles there
shall be a proportionate abatement of annual rent and additional rent
payable hereunder to the extent of damage to the Premises; provided,
however, that such abatement shall in no event exceed the abatement granted
to SRC under the Prime Lease for the Premises and, provided further, that
no compensation or claim or reduction will be allowed or paid by SRC by
reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to MA's business arising from
the necessity of affecting repairs to the Premises or any portion of the
Building, whether such repairs are required by operation of these two
Articles or any other provision of the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Premises cannot be restored within one hundred twenty
(120) days after damage, destruction or condemnation (in the reasonable
opinion of SRC, then MA may elect to terminate this Sub-sublease by written
notice (to SRC) given within thirty (30) days after MA's receipt of
Sublessor's estimate of the time required to restore the Premises.
14. PARKING
SRC, through Prime Lessor, shall make available to MA twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days per week, throughout the term of the Sub-
sublease, without additional charge, on-site, non-reserved deck parking for
3.5 cars per 1,000 square feet of rentable area subleased, for the use of
MA, its employees and invitees, in the garage attached to the Building in
the area delineated as Exhibit "C" in the Sublease Agreement attached as
Exhibit "B".
15. INSURANCE
(a) MA shall maintain comprehensive general liability insurance covering
the legal liability of SRC and MA against all claims for any bodily
injury or death of persons and for damage to or destruction to property
occurring on, in or about the Premises and arising out of the use or
occupation of the Premises by MA in the minimum amount of $2,000,000.00
in connection with any single occurrence of bodily injury or death and
$500,000.00 in connection with claims for property damage. Such policy
shall provide that it may not be canceled or materially changed
without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to each name
insured.
(b) SRC and MA shall each have included in all policies of commercial
property insurance and other insurance (required under the Prime Lease
or this Sub-sublease) obtained by them covering the Premises, the
Building and the contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all right
or subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage
thereby insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall
be paid by the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law,
SRC and MA each waive all right to recovery against the other for, and
agrees to release the other from liability for, loss or damage to the
extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible
insurance in effect at the time of such loss or damage or would be
covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Sub-
sublease by the party seeking recovery.
(c) The Introductory clauses in Sections 11.01 and 11.02 of the Prime Lease
which read "Subject to the provisions of Section 10.20(d)" shall be
deemed to refer to the provisions of the foregoing Subsection 14(b).
16. BROKERAGE
Carter & Associates, LLC has acted as agent for SRC in this transaction and
CB Richard Ellis has acted as agent for MA in this transaction. SRC shall
pay a fee to CB Richard Ellis equal to one full month's rent in addition to
four percent (4%) of the remaining aggregate rental payments. This amount
shall be payable one-half upon execution of this document and one-half upon
MA's occupancy of the premises. MA represents and warrants to SRC that,
except as stated herein, no broker, agent or other person has represented
MA in the negotiations for and procurement of the Sub-sublease and that,
except as set forth herein no commissions, fees or compensation of any kind
are due and payable in connection herewith to any broker, agent, or other
person as a result of any act or agreement of MA. MA agrees to indemnify
and hold SRC harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or
incurred by SRC as a result of a breach by MA of the representations and
warranties contained in the immediately preceding sentence. SRC represents
and warrants to MA that no broker, agent, or other person has represented

other person as a result of any act or agreement of SRC. SRC agrees to
indemnify and hold MA harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs)
suffered or incurred by MA as a result of a breach by SRC of the
representations and warranties contained in the immediately preceding
sentence.
17. BINDING AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Sub-sublease shall be binding on MA and its heirs and executors, and
on the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of the
parties. This Sub-sublease contains the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter herein and may not be modified except by
instrument in writing which is signed by both parties.
18. CONSENT OF PRIME LESSOR

agreed that this Sub-sublease shall not become effective unless and until
SRC has obtained the written consent of Prime Lessor and Sublessor to the
subletting herein. SRC agrees to provide MA with a copy of the fully

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and for other
good and valuable consideration and of the mutual agreements hereinafter set
forth, Sublessor and Sublessee stipulate, covenant and agree as follows:
1. Premises. Sublessor does hereby sublease to Sublessee a portion of the
--------
Building consisting of approximately 51,474 square feet of rentable area on
the third (3rd) and fourth (4th) floor(s) (the "Premises") as outlined in
red and crosshatched on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
This Sublease includes the right of Sublessee to use the Common Building
Facilities in common with other tenants in the Building and Sublessee's
parking spaces, as provided in Section 12 of this Sublease.
2. Term. The term shall commence as of the date of this Agreement and shall
----
expire on December 30, 2002.
3. Uses. The Premises shall be used for executive, general administrative and
----
office space purposes, for scientific and computer research, and no other
purposes, and in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities and the Rules and Regulations
attached to the Prime Lease. Sublessee covenants and agrees to abide by the
Rules and Regulations in all respects as now set forth and as hereafter
promulgated by Prime Lessor. Prime Lessor shall have the right at all times
during the Lease Term to publish and promulgate and thereafter enforce such
rules and regulations or changes in the existing Rules and Regulations as
it may reasonably deem necessary to protect the tenantability, safety,
operation, and welfare of the Premises, the Project and Wildwood Office
Park; provided, however, any such changes shall not have a material adverse
effect on Sublessee's ability to maintain a security area in accordance
with Special Stipulation No. 7 of this Sublease.
4. Rents and Additional Rent. Sublessee shall pay base annual rental in
-------------------------
accordance with the following schedule:
-1-
Rental Rate
Calendar Year Per Square Foot Annual Rental Monthly Rental
------------- ----------------------------- --------------

Sublessor acknowledges and agrees that no rent shall be due under this
Sublease for the time period prior to May 1, 1994.
All Rents are due in advance on the first day of each month during the term
of this Sublease without deduction, set off or demand, except as
specifically set forth in Special Stipulation No. 6. Rents shall be
delivered to Sublessor's office located at Scribcor, Inc., As Agent for IBM
Lease Administration, Suite 1200, 400 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL
60611, or such other place as Sublessor may designate.
Sublessee shall pay as Additional Rental its prorata share of increases in
operating expenses, as that term is defined in Section 3.04 of the Prime
Lease, incurred over $6.50 per square foot of Rentable Floor Area per annum
as outlined under Section 3.04 of the Prime Lease. Sublessor's prorata
share is 8.32%, which is the ratio that 51,474 square feet of rentable area
of the Premises bears to 618,540 square feet of rentable area in the
building. Sublessor shall furnish Sublessee with a true copy of the
statement of operating expenses, delivered by Prime Lessor to Sublessor
pursuant to the Prime Lease and include thereon a detailed statement of
Sublessee's prorata share of any increase in operating expenses. Sublessee
shall reimburse Sublessor within thirty (30) days after the operating
expense statement is furnished to Sublessee.
5. Preparation for Occupancy. Sublessor shall deliver the Premises to
-------------------------
Sublessee on or before fifteen (15) days after full Sublease execution for
the purpose of allowing Sublessee to make certain improvements thereto
pursuant to Special Stipulation No. 2. At such time, Sublessee shall
accept the Premises in its then "as is" condition (which shall not be
materially different from its current condition), "broom clean," and all of
Sublessor's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property
shall be removed therefrom at Sublessor's expense prior to such date.
Sublessor shall not be required to perform work of any kind or nature, and
all work performed by Sublessee or any other party shall be subject to
provisions of this Sublease and the Prime Lease. Sublessor shall not
remove any cabling and shall leave all labeling of communication wiring,
path devices and patch panel. In addition, any whiteboards and screens for
visual images shall remain with the Premises.
6. Incorporation of Prime Lease. (a) This Sublease is subject to all of the
----------------------------
terms of the Prime Lease with the same force and effect as if fully set
forth herein at length, excepting only as otherwise specifically provided
herein. All of the terms with which Sublessor is bound to comply under the
Prime Lease shall, to the extent only that they apply to the Premises and
except as otherwise
-2-
provided herein, be binding upon Sublessee, and all of the obligations of
Prime Lessor set forth in the Prime Lease shall, to the extent only that
they apply to the Premises and except as otherwise provided herein, inure
to the Sublessee's benefit. It is the intention of the parties that, except
as otherwise provided in this Sublease, the relationship between Sublessor
and Sublessee shall be governed by the language of the various articles of
the Prime Lease as if they were typed out in this Sublease in full, and the
words "Landlord," "Tenant" and "Lease" as used in the Prime Lease, shall
read, respectively, "Sublessor," "Sublessee" and "Sublease."
(b) For the purposes of this Sublease, the following provisions of the
Prime Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety:
Section 1.01(b); Section 2.01; Section 2.02; Section 3.01;
Section 3.02; Article 4, titled "Preparation for Occupancy,
Term Commencement Date"; Section 10.02(d); Section 10.02(e);
Section 10.02(g); Article 23, titled "First Refusal Sale";
Article 25, titled, "Holdover"; Article 21, titled "Option
for Additional Space"; Article 27, titled "Assignment and
Subletting"; Article 37, titled "Broker"; and Section 39.07.
7. Quiet Enjoyment. (a) Sublessor covenants and agrees with Sublessee that
---------------
upon Sublessee paying the rent and additional rent reserved in this
Sublease and observing and performing all of the other obligations, terms,
covenants and conditions of this Sublease on Sublessee's part to be
observed and performed, Sublessee may peaceably and quietly enjoy the
Premises and Common Building Facilities (in common with other tenants)
during the term; provided, however, that this Sublease shall automatically
terminate upon termination of the Prime Lease and Sublessee shall have no
claim against Sublessor unless such termination was caused by the default
of Sublessor in the performance of those obligations (under the Prime
Lease) which have not been assumed by Sublessee hereunder. Sublessor will
indemnify and hold harmless Sublessee from and defend Sublessee against all
claims, liabilities, losses and damages (excepting special and
consequential damages) that Sublessee may incur by reason of, resulting
from or arising out of any such termination of the Prime Lease, due to
Sublessor's default. Sublessor covenants and agrees that (i) Sublessor will
not enter into a consensual agreement with Prime lessor to terminate the
Prime Lease, and (ii) Sublessor will not terminate the Prime Lease as it
pertains to the Premises unless Sublessor is entitled to do so by reason of
Prime Lessor's default or by the condemnation and casualty provisions of
the Prime Lease.
(b) Sublessee covenants and agrees that Sublessee shall not do or suffer
or permit anything to be done (within its control) which would constitute a
default under the Prime Lease or would cause the Prime Lease to be
canceled, terminated or forfeited by virtue of any rights of cancellation,
termination, or forfeiture reserved or vested in Prime Lessor under the
Prime Lease, and that Sublessee will indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor
from and defend Sublessor against all claims, liabilities, losses and
damages of any kind whatsoever (excepting special and consequential
damages) that Sublessor may incur by reason of, resulting from or arising
out of any such cancellation, termination or forfeiture.
8. Notices. Any notice, demand or request under this Sublease shall be in
-------
writing and shall be considered properly delivered when addressed as
hereinafter provided and delivered by hand or by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. After May 1, 1994, any notice, demand or
-3-
request by Sublessor to Sublessee shall be addressed to Sublessee at 2300
Windy Ridge Parkway, Suite 400 South Tower, Marietta, Georgia 30067, to the
attention of James Huffman until otherwise directed in writing by
Sublessee. Prior to said date, all such notices shall be sent to Sublessee
at 280 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 430, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. Any
notice, demand or request by Sublessee to Sublessor shall be addressed to
Sublessor, attention of the Regional Manager, Trex Morris, IBM Corporation,
3200 Windy Hill Road WG08C, Marietta, Georgia 30067, with a copy sent
simultaneously to Sublessor, attention of IBM Counsel, IBM Corporation, 208
Harbor Drive, Stamford, CT 06904, until otherwise directed in writing by
Sublessor. Either party may change its notice address by notice to the
other party given in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8.
Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of
a changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be
receipt of the notice, demand or request sent.
9. Assignment and Subletting. Sublessee agrees that it shall not assign,
---------------------------
mortgage, transfer, pledge or encumber its interest in this Sublease, in
whole or in part, or sublet or permit the subletting of the Premises, or
permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied or used by any
person or entity other than Sublessee, in each case without first obtaining
the prior written consent of Sublessor, which consent Sublessor will not
unreasonably withhold or delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee
may sublease or assign its interest in the Premises to an "Affiliate," as
hereinafter defined, without Sublessor's consent, but Sublessee shall
notify Sublessor in advance of such proposed assignment or sublease to an
Affiliate and shall promptly deliver to Sublessor copies of all
documentation related to such assignment or sublease. No such assignment or
sublease shall operate to release Sublessee from its obligations under this
Sublease. Failure of Sublessor to obtain the consent of Prime Lessor or
submission by Sublessee of a proposed assignee or subtenant who, in the
opinion of Sublessor reasonably exercised, is a competitor of Sublessor
shall in each case be a reasonable and conclusive basis for withholding
consent. The term "Affiliate" as used herein shall mean any parent
corporation or any subsidiary which controls or is controlled by Sublessee,
or any corporation in which or with which Sublessee is merged or
consolidated, provided that by operation of law or by effective provisions
contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation the liabilities of
the corporations participating in such merger or consolidation are assumed
by the corporation surviving such merger or created by such consolidation.
The term "control" shall mean ownership of not less than fifty-one percent
(51%) of the voting rights attributable to the shares of the controlled
corporation.
10. Prime Lessor's Responsibility. Sublessee recognizes that Sublessor is not
-----------------------------
in a position to furnish the services set forth in the Prime Lease, obtain
an agreement of nondisturbance, or to perform certain other obligations
which are not within the control of Sublessor, such as, without limitation,
maintenance, repairs and replacements to the Building and Premises,
compliance with laws, and restoration of the Premises and Building after
casualty or condemnation. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee agrees that Sublessee shall
look solely to Prime Lessor to furnish an services and to perform all
obligations agreed upon by Prime Lessor under the Lease to furnish and
perform. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 10 and Special
Stipulation No. 6, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee or be deemed
in default hereunder for failure of Prime Lessor to furnish or perform the
same. However, whenever under the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Lessor
shall fail to perform any of its Prime Lease obligations pertaining to the
Premises, Sublessee may, at its option, enforce performance thereof if and
to the extent authorized by the terms of the Prime Lease, and
-4-
Sublessor shall cooperate with Sublessee in such enforcement. In addition,
Sublessor agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to enforce Prime
Lessor's obligations under the Prime Lease.
11. Casualty and Condemnation. Article 10.01, titled "Damage or Destruction,"
-------------------------
and Article 12, titled "Condemnation," of the Prime Lease are modified to
provide that if by operation of either of these two Articles the Prime
Lease is not terminated and continues in full force and effect, this
Sublease shall not be terminated but shall also continue in full force and
effect, except that until the Premises are restored in accordance with
these two Articles there shall be a proportionate abatement of annual rent
and additional rent payable hereunder to the extent of damage to the
Premises; provided, however, that such abatement shall in no event exceed
the abatement granted to Sublessor under the Prime Lease for the Premises
and, provided further, that no compensation or claim or reduction will be
allowed or paid by Sublessor by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or
injury to Sublessee's business arising from the necessity of affecting
repairs to the Premises or any portion of the Building, whether such
repairs are required by operation of these two Articles or any other
provision of the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Premises cannot be restored within one hundred twenty (120) days after
damage, destruction or condemnation (in the reasonable opinion of
Sublessor), then Sublessee may elect to terminate this Sublease by written
notice (to Sublessor) given within thirty (30) days after Sublessee's
receipt of Sublessor's estimate of the time required to restore the
Premises.
12. Parking. Sublessor, through Prime Lessor, shall make available to Sublessee
-------
twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, throughout the
term of the Sublease, without additional charge, on-site, non-reserved deck
parking for 3.05 cars per 1,000 square feet of rentable area subleased, for
the use of Sublessee, its employees and invitees, in the garage attached to
the Building in the area delineated on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made
a part hereof. As a portion of the aforesaid parking allowance, Sublessor,
through Prime Lessor, shall make available to Sublessee throughout the term
of the Sublease ten (10) reserved spaces on Level 6 (being space nos. 31-35
and 50-54).
13. Insurance. (a) Sublessee shall maintain comprehensive general liability
---------
insurance covering the legal liability of Sublessor and Sublessee against
all claims for any bodily injury or death of persons and for damage to or
destruction to property occurring on, in or about the Premises and arising
out of the use or occupation of the Premises by Sublessee in the minimum
amount of $2,000,000.00 in connection with any single occurrence of bodily
injury or death and $500,000.00 in connection with claims for property
damage. Such policy shall provide that it may not be canceled or materially
changed without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to each
named insured.
(b) Sublessor and Sublessee shall each have included in all policies of
commercial property insurance and other insurance (required under the Prime
Lease or this Sublease) obtained by them covering the Premises, the
Building and the contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all right of
subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage thereby
insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by
the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, Sublessor and
Sublessee each waive all right of recovery against the other for, and
agrees to release the other from liability for, loss or damage to the
extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance in
effect at the time of such loss or damage or would be covered by the
insurance required to be maintained under this Sublease by the party
seeking recovery.
-5-
(c) The introductory clauses in Sections 11.01 and 11.02 of the Prime
Lease which read "Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(d)" shall be
deemed to refer to the provisions of the foregoing Subsection 13(b).
14. Brokerage. Cousins Real Estate Corporation and Carter (referred to
---------
collectively as "Broker") are entitled to a lease commission from Sublessor
by virtue of this Sublease, which commission shall be paid by Sublessor to
Broker in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement between
Sublessor and Broker. Cousins Real Estate Corporation has acted as agent
for Sublessor in this transaction, and Carter has acted as agent for
Sublessee in this transaction. Sublessee represents and warrants to
Sublessor that, except as stated herein, no broker, agent, or other person
has represented Sublessee in the negotiations for and procurement of the
Sublease and that, except as set forth herein, no commissions, fees or
compensation of any kind are due and payable in connection herewith to any
broker, agent, or other person as a result of any act or agreement of
Sublessee. Sublessee agrees to indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from
all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by Sublessor as a
result of a breach by Sublessee of the representations and warranties
contained in the immediately preceding sentence. Sublessor represents and
warrants to Sublessee that, except as stated herein, no broker, agent, or
other person has represented Sublessor in the negotiations for and
procurement of the Sublease and that, except as set forth herein, no
commissions, fees or compensation of any kind are due and payable in
connection herewith to any broker, agent, or other person as a result of
any act or agreement of Sublessor. Sublessor agrees to indemnify and hold
Sublessee harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred
by Sublessee as a result of a breach by Sublessor of the representations
and warranties contained in the immediately preceding sentence.
15. Binding and Entire Agreement. This Sublease shall be binding on Sublessee
----------------------------
and its heirs and executors, and on the respective legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the parties. This Sublease contains the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and may
not be modified except by instrument in writing which is signed by both
parties.
16. Consent of Prime Lessor. Anything hereinabove to the contrary
-----------------------
notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that this Sublease shall not
become effective unless and until Sublessor has obtained and delivered to
Sublessee the written consent of Prime Lessor to the subletting herein on
or before December 30, 1993, failing which either party may, at its option
------------------
exercised by giving the other notice on or before January 15, 1994,
terminate this Sublease. If this Sublease is terminated as aforesaid,
neither party hereto shall have any further claim against the other
hereunder.
17. The terms and conditions contained in Exhibit "B" titled "Special
-----------
Stipulations," attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into and agreed to
be a party of this Sublease.

WHEREAS, PRG desires to Sub-Sublease to Manhattan and Manhattan desires to
SubSublease from PRG the third (3rd) floor consisting of approximately 23,776
rentable square feet (the "Premises").
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration and of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth,
PRG and Manhattan stipulate, covenant and agree as follows:
1. PREMISES
PRG does hereby Sub-Sublease to Manhattan a portion of the Building
consisting of approximately 23,776 square feet of rentable area on the third
(3rd) floor of the North Tower thereof (the "Premises") as outlined in red and
crosshatched on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
2. DELIVERY OF PREMISES
On or before September 15, 1998, PRG shall make available to Manhattan that
portion of the Premises consisting of approximately 7,998 square feet of
rentable area as identified on Exhibit "C". On or before March 1, 1999, PRG
shall make available to Manhattan the remaining portion of the Premises.
3. TERM
The term shall commence on the date of delivery specified in Section 4
hereof, and except as provided herein, shall expire on December 30, 2002.
1
4. USES
The Premises shall be used for office space in accordance with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities
and the Rules and Regulations attached to the Prime Lease, as same may have been
modified or amended by virtue of the Prime Sublease. Manhattan covenants and
agrees to abide by the Rules and Regulations in all respects as now set forth
and as hereafter promulgated by Prime Lessor. Prime Lessor shall have the right
at all times during the Lease Term to publish and promulgate and thereafter
enforce such rules and regulations or changes in the existing Rules and
Regulations as it may reasonably deem.
5. RENT
Commencing on the date the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof,
shall be delivered to Manhattan, Manhattan shall pay to PRG Annual Base Rent
equal to (a) $20.76 per rentable square foot for portions of the Premises which
it occupies, plus (b) $20.76 per rentable square foot for its pro-rata portion
of the "common area" described in Paragraph 7, and computed by multiplying the
Annual Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
rentable square feet of the Premises occupied by Manhattan, and the denominator
of which shall be the number of square feet of the Premises occupied by
Manhattan plus the number of square feet of the Premises occupied by PRG
(exclusive of any portion of the Premises designated as "common area").
In addition to Annual Base Rent, Manhattan shall pay Additional Rental as
described in Paragraph 6, (collectively the "Rent") provided for hereunder in
advance on the first day of every month during the Term. Rent shall be a
prorated rate for fractions of a month if this Sub-Sublease commences or expires
(as the case may be) for any reason on any day other than the first or last day
of the calendar month, respectively. Manhattan shall make payment of Rent to
PRG, at the address specified the preamble of this Agreement and directed to the
attention of the Controller.
6. ADDITIONAL RENTAL
(a) In addition to Annual Rent, Manhattan shall pay as Additional Rental its
pro-rata share of increases in operating expenses over and above $6.50 per
rentable square foot of the Premises, as defined in Article 3.04 of the Prime
Lease. PRG shall furnish Manhattan with a true copy of the statement of
operating expenses delivered by Prime Lessor to PRG pursuant to the Prime Lease
and the Prime Sublease. Manhattan shall reimburse PRG within twenty (20) days
after the operating expense statement is furnished to Manhattan.
For purposes of this Sub-Sublease, Manhattan shall pay Additional Rent on
the Premises and its pro-rata portion of the "common area" described in
Paragraph 7 hereof. Manhattan's share of said "common area" shall be equal to a
fraction having as its numerator the number of rentable square feet of the
Premises actually occupied by Manhattan, and as its denominator, the number of
square feet of the Premises occupied by Manhattan plus the number of square feet
of the Premises occupied by PRG; both the numerator and denominator shall
exclude any portion of the Premises designated as "common area."
(b) In addition to the foregoing, if Manhattan shall procure any services
from the Building beyond the Building standard services specified in the Prime

evenly divided by PRG and Manhattan, and Manhattan shall reimburse PRG for its
share of such construction costs within thirty (30) days of an invoice therefor.
Manhattan shall at its sole expense, perform or cause to be performed, such
construction of the Premises as it desires; provided, however, that prior to the
commencement of construction, Manhattan shall obtain the written consent of PRG,
the Prime Sublessor and the Prime Lessor, as same may be required under the
Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed by PRG, to Manhattan's construction plans.
8. INCORPORATION OF PRIME LEASE
(a) This Sublease is subject to all of the terms of the Prime Lease and
the Prime Sublease with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein
at length, excepting only those provisions specified herein. All of the terms
with which PRG is bound to comply under the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease
shall, to the extent they apply to the Premises and except as otherwise provided
herein, be binding upon Manhattan, and all of the obligations of Prime Lessor
set forth in the Prime Lease shall and all of the obligations of IBM set forth
in the Prime Sublease, to the extent only that they apply to the Premises and
except as otherwise provided herein, inure to the benefit of Manhattan. It is
the intention of the parties that, except as otherwise provided in this Sub-
Sublease, the relationship between PRG and Manhattan shall be governed by the
language of the various articles of the Prime Lease and the Prime Sublease as if
they were typed out in this Sub-Sublease in full, and the words "Lessor"
"Lessee" and "Prime Lease" as used in the Prime Lease, and the words "Sublessor"
"Sublessee" and "Sublease", shall read, respectively "PRG" "Manhattan" and "Sub-
Sublease".
(b) For the purpose of this Sub-Sublease, the following provisions of the
Prime Sublease are hereby deleted in their entirety:
Sections 4, 12, and 15 of the Sublease dated October 29, 1993;
Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 of Exhibit "B" to the Sublease dated
October 29, 1993; and all provisions of the First Sublease Amendment
dated as of February 12, 1996.
9. PARKING
PRG shall provide Manhattan with a total of seven (7) of PRG's reserved
parking spaces, in the area designated for reserved parking by the Prime Lessor,
and as subject to change by the Prime Lessor. Subject to the rights of the Prime

of its reserved parking spaces shall be provided to Manhattan hereunder. Two (2)
reserved parking spaces shall be provided to Manhattan upon commencement of its
occupancy of the
3
first portion of the Premises, and the remaining five (5) spaces shall be made
available to Manhattan on or before March 1, 1999.
10. QUIET ENJOYMENT
(a) PRG covenants and agrees with Manhattan that upon Manhattan paying the
Rent and Additional Rent reserved in this Sub-Sublease and observing and
performing all of the other obligations, terms, covenants and conditions of this
Sub-Sublease on Manhattan's part to be observed and performed, Manhattan may
peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises and Common Building Facilities (in
common with other tenants) during the Term; provided, however, that this Sub-
Sublease shall automatically terminate upon termination of either the Prime
Lease or the Prime Sublease, and Manhattan shall have no claim against PRG
unless such termination was caused by the default of PRG in the performance of
those material obligations (under either the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease)
which have not been assumed by Manhattan hereunder. PRG will indemnify and hold
harmless Manhattan from and defend Manhattan against all claims, liabilities
losses and damages that Manhattan may incur by reason of, resulting from or
arising out of any such termination of the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease due
to PRG's default thereunder. PRG covenants and agrees that (i) PRG will not
enter into a consensual agreement with the Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease or
with the Prime Sublessor under the Prime Sublease to terminate either the Prime
Lease or the Prime Sublease, as the case may be, (ii) PRG will not terminate
this Sub-Sublease as it pertains to the Premises unless PRG is entitled to do so
under the Sublease or under this Sub-Sublease or by the condemnation and
casualty provisions of this Sublease.
(b) Manhattan covenants and agrees that Manhattan shall not do or suffer or
permit anything to be done (within its reasonable and direct control) which
would constitute a default under the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease, or would
cause the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease to be canceled, terminated or
forfeited by virtue of any rights of cancellation, termination, or forfeiture
reserved or vested in Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublessor
under the Prime Sublease, Manhattan will indemnify and hold harmless PRG from
and defend PRG against all claims, liabilities, losses and damages of any kind
whatsoever that PRG may incur by reason of, resulting from or arising out of the
cancellation, termination or forfeiture of the Prime Lease or the Prime
Sublease, which is caused by any act or omission of Manhattan.
11. NOTICES
Any notice, demand, or request under this Sublease shall be in writing and
shall be considered properly delivered when addressed as hereinafter provided
and delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service to
the addressee set forth in the preamble of this Agreement with all notices to
PRG being directed to the attention of Clinton McKellar, Jr., Esq. and all
notices to Manhattan being directed to the attention its President. Rejection or
other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of a changed address
of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand
or request sent. Address for notice may be changed by either party by giving 30
days written notice to the current address of record.
PRG agrees to provide, in a timely manner, copies of any notices it
receives from the Prime Lessor or the Prime Sublessor with respect to the
Premises.
4
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Except as permitted by Paragraph 9 of the Prime Sublease, Manhattan shall
not assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or encumber its interest in this Sub-
Sublease, in whole or in part, or sublet or permit the subletting of the
Premises, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied or used by
any person or entity other than Manhattan, without in each case having first
obtained the written consent of (a) PRG, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (b) the Prime Sublessor. Failure of any
party to obtain the consent of the Prime Lessor shall in each case constitute a
reasonable and conclusive basis for withholding consent.
13. PRIME LESSOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease,
Manhattan agrees and acknowledges that it will look solely to the Prime Lessor,
and to neither PRG nor Prime Sublessor, to furnish all services and to perform
all obligations of Prime Lessor pursuant to the Prime Lease. PRG shall not be
liable to Manhattan or be deemed in default hereunder for failure of Prime
Lessor to furnish such services or perform such obligations. If Prime Lessor
shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Prime Lease, Manhattan
may, at its option, enforce performance thereof if and to the extent authorized
by the Prime Lease, and PRG shall cooperate with Manhattan in such enforcement.
14. DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN
Article 10.01, titled "Damage or Destruction," and Article 12, titled
"Condemnation," of the Prime Lease are modified to provide that if by operation
of either of these two Articles the Prime Lease is not terminated and continues
in full force and effect, this Sub-Sublease shall not be terminated but shall
also continue in full force and effect, except that until the Premises are
restored in accordance with these two Articles there shall be a proportionate
abatement of Annual Rental and payable hereunder to the extent of damage to the
Premises; provided, however, that such abatement shall in no event exceed the
abatement granted to PRG under the Prime Sublease for the Premises and, provided
further, that no compensation or claim or reduction will be allowed or paid by
PRG by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to Manhattan's business
arising from the necessity of affecting repairs to the Premises or any portion
of the Building, whether such repairs are required by operation of these two
Articles or any other provision of the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Premises cannot be restored within ninety (90) days after
damage, destruction or condemnation (in the reasonable opinion of the Prime
Lessor's architect), then Manhattan may elect to terminate this Sublease by
written notice (to PRG) given within thirty (30) days after PRG's receipt of
Sublessor's estimate of the time required to restore the Premises.
15. INSURANCE
(a) Manhattan shall maintain comprehensive general liability insurance
covering the legal liability of Manhattan and PRG against all claims for any
bodily injury or death of persons and for damage to or destruction to property
occurring on, in or about the Premises and arising out of the use or occupation
of the Premises by Manhattan in the minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 in
connection with any single occurrence of bodily injury or death and $500,000.00
in connection with claims for property damage. Such policy shall provide that it
may not be canceled or materially changed without at least thirty-(30) days
prior written notice to each name insured. PRG shall be named as an additional
insured on the insurance policies required of Manhattan under this Sub-Sublease.
5
(b) PRG and Manhattan shall each have included in all policies of
commercial property insurance and other insurance (required under the Prime
Lease, the Prime Sublease or this SubSublease) obtained by them covering the
Premises, the Building and the contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all
right or subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage
thereby insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by
the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, PRG and Manhattan each
waives all right to recovery against the other for, and agrees to release the
other from liability for, loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is
covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect at the time of such loss or
damage or would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this
Sublease by the party seeking recovery.
16. BROKERAGE
Each party represents and warrants to the other that no broker, agent, or
other person has represented such party in the negotiations for and procurement
of this Sub-Sublease and that except as may be set forth herein, no commissions,
fees or compensation of any kind are due and payable in connection herewith to
any broker, agent, or other person as a result of any act or agreement of such
party. Each party through which such a claim arises agrees to indemnify and hold
the other harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred as a
result of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in the
immediately preceding sentence.
17. BINDING AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Sub-Sublease shall be binding on PRG and Manhattan, and each of its
respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Sub-
Sublease contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter herein and may not be modified except by instrument in writing,
which is signed by both parties.

to the subletting herein on or before the Commencement Date.

shall be referred to arbitration as provided in Article 38. Pending resolution
of any dispute, by agreement, arbitration or otherwise, Tenant may not withhold
payment of so much of the amount claimed as shall be disputed.

year following the calendar year in which the Statement is due from Landlord, it
shall be conclusively presumed that Landlord has waived its claim against Tenant

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
ARTICLE TWENTY-ONE
OPTION FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE
(a) Tenant has requested that Landlord, and Landlord has agreed and does
hereby, grant unto Tenant two (2) mutually exclusive expansion options (both of
the expansion options being herein called the "Expansion Options" and each
respective Expansion Option, in chronological order, is referred to herein as
the "First Expansion Option" and the "Second Expansion Option", respectively)
exercisable as hereinafter set forth pursuant to subsection (b) hereof.
(b) For each Expansion Option, Tenant shall be entitled to lease, at
Tenant's election, space comprising a maximum of 25,000 square feet of
contiguous rentable area on, at Landlord's option, either the fifth (5th) floor
of the south tower of the Building or the eighth (8th) floor of the Building
(such space subject to an Expansion Option being herein referred to as
"Expansion Space"). The First Expansion Option shall be exercisable by Tenant by
written notice to Landlord given on or before July 1, 1992. The Second Option
shall be exercisable by Tenant by written notice to Landlord given on or before
July 1, 1997. Each such written notice of exercise of an Expansion Option shall
specify the amount of Expansion Space (up to 25,000 square feet of contiguous
rentable area) requested by Tenant. Landlord shall deliver possession of the
Expansion Space requested by Tenant during 1993, in the case of the exercise of
the First Expansion Option, and 1998, in the case of the exercise of the Second
Expansion Option. Landlord shall have the right to deliver such Expansion Space
to Tenant in either one or two increments, provided that the first increment
must be contiguous to the existing Leased Premises and include at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total Expansion Space requested by Tenant. The specific
date(s) within the applicable year for delivery by Landlord to Tenant of such
Expansion Space shall be determined by Landlord. The exercise of each Expansion
option shall be subject to the following provisions: (i) Tenant may not exercise
an Expansion Option if Tenant has prior thereto received a notice of default in
the performance of Tenant's covenants under this Lease from Landlord and Tenant
has not then cured such default; (ii) if the amount of Expansion Space
designated by Tenant shall be such that the portion of a floor not leased by
Tenant shall contain less than 5,000 square feet of contiguous rentable area,
Landlord shall have the right to either increase the size of the Expansion Space
to include all the remaining portion of such floor, or to reduce the size of the
Expansion Space so that the remaining portion of such floor not leased by Tenant
shall contain at least 5,000 square feet of contiguous rentable area; and (iii)
any Expansion Space Tenant so elects to lease shall become a part of the Leased
Premises upon the delivery thereof to Tenant (whether in one or two increments)
and Tenant shall be obligated to commence the payment of Annual Rent and.
Additional rent thereon in accordance with subparagraph (e) below.
(c) Any reference to "square feet of contiguous rentable area" shall mean
space on any floor which is contiguous to space then leased by Tenant on such
floor and/or space on another floor which is directly above or directly below at
least a portion of other space then leased by Tenant. The location and
configuration of the Expansion Space shall be determined by Landlord, provided
that such Expansion Space which does not comprise a full floor of the Building
shall be configured in a manner that is
-32-
practicable for Tenant's intended use thereof and shall have independent
corridor access to the rest rooms, elevator and elevator lobby area on such
floor.
(d) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Expansion Space which
is leased by Tenant under an Expansion Option in accordance with this Article
and which was improved for occupancy in any way and for any tenant prior to the
commencement of Tenant's leasing of such Expansion Space shall be delivered to
Tenant for occupancy hereunder in an "as is" condition (but free of all tenants
and occupants) and shall be accepted as such by Tenant. With respect to any
Expansion Space which is leased by Tenant under an Expansion Option in
accordance with this Article which has not been improved for occupancy for any
tenant, Landlord shall (i) either furnish, or provide an allowance equal to the
cost of furnishing, the Building Standard improvements described in Article III
of the Workletter, plus (ii) furnish Tenant with a one-time allowance for the
construction of the leasehold improvements desired by Tenant in an amount equal
to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of rentable square feet in
the Expansion Space times (y) the dollar amount set forth in clause (x) of
Section 4.06 hereof. All costs and expenses in constructing and installing the
improvements desired by Tenant in the Expansion Space not included with or
covered by Landlord's work or the allowance set forth herein shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant. The allowance payable by Landlord to Tenant for
construction of the leasehold improvements in the Expansion Space shall be paid
by Landlord to Tenant at the times and in the same manner and upon the same
terms and conditions as set forth in Section 4.06 of this Lease.
(e) Annual Rent for the Expansion Space which is leased by Tenant under
the First Expansion Option and under the Second Expansion Option in accordance
with this Article shall be calculated at the same rental rate and shall be
subject to the same adjustments as for other portions of the Leased Premises as
provided in Section 3.01 of this Lease. Tenant shall be obligated to commence
the payment of Annual Rent and Additional Rent for each increment on the earlier
of (i) the date which is four (4) months after the delivery of such Expansion
Space (or increment thereof) by Landlord to Tenant for the construction by
Tenant of its leasehold improvements in the Expansion Space, or (ii) the date
Tenant takes occupancy of the Expansion Space for business purposes.
(f) Landlord shall not be liable for failure to deliver possession to
Tenant of any space covered by an Expansion Option or any part thereof by reason
of the unlawful holding over or retention of possession of any previous tenant,
tenants or occupants of same, nor shall such failure impair the validity of this
Lease, nor extend the term hereof. However, Landlord does covenant that it will
use reasonable diligence to deliver possession of all space covered by an
Expansion Option to Tenant upon the respective dates above-described and
Landlord shall pay to Tenant any holdover rentals collected by Landlord from
such tenant or occupant to the extent they exceed the sums Tenant would have
paid had such tenant or occupant not held over, less the costs incurred by
Landlord in attempting to remove such holdover tenant(s). Additionally, if
Tenant reasonably believes Landlord is not being diligent in its efforts to
deliver possession of any Expansion Space to Tenant, Tenant shall so notify
Landlord in writing, whereupon Tenant may itself bring such actions or
proceedings (which must meet with Landlord's reasonable approval) necessary to
deliver such possession to Tenant, but Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord from any and all costs (including attorney's fees or costs of suit),
expenses, damages or liabilities arising thereby.
(g) The failure by Tenant to give timely the written notice described in
subparagraph (a) of this Article shall constitute Tenant's decision not to
exercise the respective Expansion Option and Tenant shall be considered to have
given up its rights to the Expansion Space covered by said Expansion Option. If
Tenant fails or elects not to lease the Expansion Space covered by an Expansion
Option, Landlord shall be free to lease the same to third parties.
-33-
(h) Upon the exercise of an Expansion Option pursuant to the terms hereof,
Landlord and Tenant shall execute, at the request of either, an instrument
delineating and describing the portions of the floor(s) added to this Lease
thereby and any then unsatisfied conditions thereto.
(i) The term for each Expansion Space added to this Lease pursuant to the
Expansion Options shall terminate when the term of this Lease for the initial
Leased elects not to lease the Expansion Space covered by an Expansion option,
Landlord shall be free to lease the same to third patties.
(h) Upon the exercise of an Expansion Option pursuant to the terms hereof,
Landlord and Tenant shall execute, at the request of either, an instrument
delineating and describing the portions of the floor(s) added to this Lease
thereby and any then unsatisfied conditions thereto.
(i) The term for each Expansion Space added to this Lease pursuant to the
Expansion Options shall terminate when the term of this Lease for the initial
Leased Premises described in Section 1.01 terminates. Tenant shall renew the
term of this Lease as to said Expansion Space whenever Tenant renews the term of
this Lease as to the initial Leased Premises. Notwithstanding any provisions
hereof to the contrary, in no event shall this Lease continue in force and
effect as to any space covered by the Expansion Options beyond the termination
of this Lease and any renewals and extensions thereof as to said initial Leased
Premises.
(j) Tenant may not assign its Expansion options except to a permitted
assignee of all of Tenant's rights under this Lease, but Tenant may sublease
this space covered thereby if and to the extent permitted in Article 27.

agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage
or expense (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and costs of
litigation) ever suffered or incurred by Landlord arising from, resulting from,
or i-n any manner connected with a claim or assertion by a third party that the

Section 23.01 Sale of the Building. (a) Landlord shall have the right from
---------------------
time to time to submit to Tenant one or more names of prospective purchasers or
transferees of an interest in the Building and/or Land and to request Tenant to
approve or reject the identity of such proposed purchaser or transferee. Tenant
agrees to respond to Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt of
such request from Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to so respond within such
five (5) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the
identity of such prospective purchaser and/or transferee.
(b) If at any time after the execution of this Lease Landlord desires to
sell or transfer the Building and/or the Land or an interest therein Landlord
shall notify Tenant of the terms of sale or transfer which would be acceptable
to Landlord, and Tenant shall have the right to purchase such property for the
consideration and other terms stated in Landlord's notice. Tenant shall exercise
such right, if at all, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from
Landlord given pursuant to this subsection (b). Should Tenant fail to exercise
this right, Landlord shall, upon the expiration of said thirty (30) day period
and subject to the right of Tenant to reject the purchaser or transferee and
purchase the property as provided in subsection (c) below, be thereafter free to
consummate a sale or transfer to any party for any consideration and upon any

of the consideration and the other terms of the sale or transfer. Tenant shall
have five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of the notice given by
Landlord under this subsection (c) to either approve or reject the identity of
such proposed purchaser or transferee. Whether Tenant approves or rejects the
proposed purchaser of transferee, if the consideration to be paid to Landlord
shall be less than the consideration set forth in the most recent notice given
by Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) above, or if the other terms of such sale
are less favorable to Landlord when compared to such notice, Tenant shall have
the right to purchase the property for the consideration and
-35-
other terms stated in the Landlord's notice. Tenant must exercise such right, if
at all, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from Landlord given
pursuant to this subsection (c). If Tenant approves the identity of the
prospective purchaser or transferee, and if the consideration to be paid to
Landlord shall be equal to or more than the consideration set forth in the
notice given by Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) above, and the other terms
of such sale or transfer are no less favorable to Landlord when compared to such
notice, Tenant shall have no right to acquire the property. If Tenant rejects
the proposed purchaser or transferee, and if the consideration to be paid to
Landlord shall be equal to or more than the consideration set forth in the most
recent notice given by Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) above, and the other
terms of such sale or transfer shall be no less favorable to Landlord than the
terms set forth in such most recent notice to Tenant under subsection (b) above,
Tenant shall have the right to purchase such property for the consideration and
other terms set forth in the notice given by Landlord to Tenant under this
subsection (c), provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in cash at the
closing, in addition to the other consideration payable to Landlord, an amount
equal to one percent (1%) of the total consideration payable to Landlord from
such sale or transfer. Tenant shall exercise such right under the preceding
sentence, if at all, by giving Landlord written notice of such exercise within

subsection (c). If Tenant shall fail to exercise such right, Landlord shall,
upon the expiration of such ten (10) day period, be thereafter free to
consummate such sale or transfer to such party.
(d) If any sale or transfer is not consummated by Landlord after following
the procedure set forth in this Article, the rights granted to Tenant in this
Article shall remain in effect. If Landlord shall sell or transfer such property
after a failure of Tenant to exercise its rights hereunder, such sale or
transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease including, without
limitation, this right of first refusal.
Section 23.02. Changes in Landlord's Entity. Without limitation, this
----------------------------
restriction on the sale or transfer of the Building and/or the Land shall apply

or the change in the membership of Landlord's partnership as constituted as of
the date hereof, or one or more sales or transfers by operation of law or

Landlord's heirs, executors, distributees, representatives, successors, assigns,
transferees and grantees other than the first mortgagee, and any successor or
assignee, of the first mortgagee.

prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in
rental or damages for breach of contract, enter upon the Leased Premises and
expel or remove Tenant and its personalty, without being liable to prosecution
or any claim for damages therefor; and Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord for
all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such Lease
termination, whether through inability to relet the Leased Premises, or through

Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days following receipt of
such invoice and the data supporting the sum requested.
ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE
HOLDOVER
If Tenant remains in the Leased Premises beyond the expiration or earlier
termination of the term of this Lease, such holding over in itself shall not
constitute renewal or extension of this Lease but in such event, a tenancy from
month to month shall arise at one and one-half times the then Annual Rent and
Additional Rent. if Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises and the Leased
Premises have been committed to another tenant upon the termination of this

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 27.01. Assignment or Sublease to Subsidiary or Affiliate. Tenant
--------------------------------------------------
may assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises at any
time during the term of this Lease, without the consent of Landlord, to a
subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant or an entity created by merger by Tenant and
another corporation.
Section 27.02. Assignment or Sublease to a Third Party. (a) Subject to
----------------------------------------
Section 27.01, if Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased
Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (which
shall specify the proposed duration of said proposed sublease or
-38-
assignment) of such desire at least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on
which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Landlord shall have a
period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to
notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either (i) to suspend this Lease
as to that portion of the space proposed to be subject to such assignment or
subletting as of the date and for the duration so specified by Tenant in its
notice, in which event Tenant will be relieved of all obligations hereunder as
to such space during said suspension (but after said suspension, the affected
portion of the Leased Premises shall be returned to Tenant in the condition that
existed immediately prior to such suspension, subject to normal wear and tear
and minor changes, alterations and additions, and Tenant shall once again become
fully liable as to the applicable space), or (ii) to terminate this Lease as to
that portion of the space proposed to be subject to such assignment or
subletting as of the date specified by Tenant in its notice, in which event all
rights and obligations of Tenant as to such space shall be terminated as of such
date, or (iii) to permit Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet such space for
the duration so specified by Tenant in its notice. If Landlord should fail to
notify Tenant in writing of such election within said thirty (30) day period,
Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (iii) above. Each sublessee or
assignee shall fully observe all covenants of this Lease, including without
limitation, the provisions of Section 8.01 of this Lease, and no consent by
Landlord to an assignment or sublease shall be deemed in any manner to be a
consent to a use not permitted under Section 8.01. No assignment or subletting
shall relieve Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant
shall remain fully liable for the faithful performance of all covenants, terms
and conditions hereof on the Tenant's part to be performed. Any attempted
assignment or sublease by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this
Section 27.02 shall be void. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment
or sublease shall not constitute Landlord's consent to any other or subsequent
assignment or sublease, and any proposed sublease or assignment by a sublessee
or assignee of Tenant shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 27.02
as if it were a proposed sublease or assignment by Tenant. The prohibition
against an assignment or sublease described in this Section 27.02 shall be
deemed to include prohibition against Tenant's mortgaging its leasehold estate,
as well as against an assignment or sublease which may occur by operation of
law.
(b) The Landlord agrees that if the Tenant assigns this Lease and the
assignee defaults, any applicable notice required pursuant to the terms of this
Lease shall also be sent to the Tenant. If the assignee fails to cure such
default within the applicable grace period provided herein, Tenant shall have an
additional ten (10) days, in the case of monetary defaults, or thirty (30) days,
in the case of non-monetary defaults, in which to cure the assignee's default
and recover possession of the Leased Premises.
(c) No assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises, or
any part thereof, shall be effective unless and until there shall have been
delivered to Landlord an agreement in recordable form, executed by Tenant and
the proposed assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, wherein and whereby any
assignee assumes due performance of this Lease to be done and performed for the
balance then remaining in the term of this Lease, and any subtenant acknowledges
the right of Landlord to continue or terminate any sublease, in Landlord's sole
discretion, upon termination of this Lease, and such subtenant agrees to
recognize and attorn to Landlord in the event that Landlord elects to continue
such sublease.

not be deemed a waiver of any of the obligations under this Lease to be

No other uses are granted hereunder.

rights in the Licensed Products. Client does not acquire any rights, express
or implied, in the Licensed Products, other than those specified in this
Agreement. Client agrees to secure and protect the Licensed Products in a
manner consistent with maintaining Manhattan's rights therein and to take
appropriate action by instruction or agreement with its employees or agents
who are permitted access to same to satisfy these obligations. Violation of
any provisions herein shall be the basis for immediate termination of this
Agreement, which shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any equitable
remedies available to Manhattan.
3. WRONGFUL POSSESSION OR ACCESS. Upon knowledge of any unauthorized
possession, use of, or access to, any Licensed Products, Client shall
promptly notify Manhattan and furnish Manhattan with full details of such

Manhattan's expense in any litigation or other proceedings reasonably
necessary to protect the rights of Manhattan.
4. VERIFICATION. At Manhattan's written request, not more frequently than
annually, Client shall furnish Manhattan with a signed certification
verifying that the Licensed Products are being used pursuant to this
Agreement. Manhattan may audit Client's use of the Licensed Products at
Manhattan's expense, but not more frequently than annually. Such audit will
be conducted during regular business hours at Client's facilities and shall
not unreasonably interfere with Client's business activities. If an audit
reveals that Client has underpaid fees to Manhattan, Client shall promptly
pay any such underpaid fees.
5. SOURCE CODE ESCROW. By executing an Attachment C attendant to this
Agreement, Client elects to have the remaining source code of the Licensed
Products which it does not receive placed on deposit in Manhattan's master
escrow account, which source code shall be released upon the conditions
outlined in said Attachment. Upon making such election, Client agrees to pay
to Manhattan the then-
Page 1/4
current annual fee associated with being a beneficiary of such account.
Further, Client will receive written confirmation from the escrow agent of
Client's registration.

agreed upon modifications or enhancements to the Licensed Products
("Modifications") at Client's request, as documented by a Detailed Design
Specification or similar mutually agreed upon instrument. Manhattan retains
ownership of all rights, title and interest to the Modifications provided
hereunder and all versions thereof. Manhattan grants to Client a non-
exclusive, perpetual license to use the Modifications subject to the same
terms and conditions of Article II of this Agreement. Client and Manhattan
agree that the Modifications provided to Client shall not be a "work made
for hire".
3. CLIENT MODIFICATIONS. Any enhancements, modifications, or substitutions to
the Licensed Products made by or at the direction of Client and not made by
Manhattan ("Client Modifications") shall be owned by Manhattan and may not
be sold, assigned, licensed, sublicensed or otherwise transferred by Client
except in connection with an assignment of all rights to the Licensed
Products. Manhattan makes no warranty with respect to the Client
Modifications and shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with
respect to same. All Client Modifications, if made, shall be made at the
sole risk and expense of Client.
4. SERVICES TERMINATION. Client may, at its election and upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice, terminate the Services to be provided hereunder.
However, such termination shall not affect any right or claim of either
party incurred or accruing prior to the date of termination, including
without limitation, any right or claim of Manhattan payable for services
rendered or reimbursable expenses incurred prior to such termination date.
ARTICLE IV. MAINTENANCE SERVICES ("MAINTENANCE")
1. MAINTENANCE SERVICES. Maintenance shall be provided in accordance with
Manhattan's Maintenance policies in effect at the beginning of each annual
renewal of the Period of Coverage. Maintenance is offered for only the
Licensed Products for which Manhattan has expressly agreed to offer a
warranty under this Agreement. Client may not elect to exclude any of the
Licensed Products or any of the Designated Site(s) from Maintenance during
the Period of Coverage.
2. MAINTENANCE TERM. The Period of Coverage begins upon execution of an
Attachment B attendant to this Agreement. At least thirty (30) days prior to
expiration of a Period of Coverage, Manhattan shall notify Client of the
applicable Maintenance Fees for the succeeding year, whereupon, unless
Client notifies Manhattan in writing of its desire to terminate Maintenance
upon the expiration date for that Period of Coverage, Client's subscription
to Maintenance shall be extended and renewed for an additional period of one
(1) year at the then-current fees specified by Manhattan.
ARTICLE V. GENERAL
1. MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE.
(A) Pursuant to this Agreement, each party may, from time to time, furnish the
other party with certain Confidential Information. The parties agree to hold
each other's Confidential Information in confidence. Each party agrees to
take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not
disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of this
Agreement. The disclosure of Discloser's Confidential Information does not
grant to the Recipient any license or rights to any trade secrets or under
any patents or copyrights, except as expressly provided by the licenses
granted in this Agreement.
(B) The obligations of Recipient with respect to any particular portion of
Confidential Information shall terminate or shall not attach, as the case
may be, when such information:
(ii) was in the public domain at the time of Discloser's communication
thereof to Recipient;
(iii) entered the public domain through no fault of Recipient subsequent to
the time of Discloser's communication thereof to Recipient;
(iv) was in Recipient's possession free of any obligation of confidence at
the time of Discloser's communication thereof to Recipient;
(v) was independently developed by Recipient as demonstrated by written
records; or,
(vi) is required to be disclosed by court or government order and
Discloser has been given notice of such order.
(C) Discloser understands that Recipient may develop information internally, or
receive information from other parties, that may be similar to Discloser's
information. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a
representation or inference that Recipient will not independently develop
products, for itself or for others, that compete with the products or
systems contemplated by Discloser's information. The parties agree that a
breach of the confidentiality obligations by Recipient shall cause immediate
and irreparable monetary damage to Discloser and shall entitle Discloser to
injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies.
2. WARRANTIES.
(A) LICENSED PRODUCTS. Manhattan warrants for a period of six (6) months
following shipment that the Licensed Products will materially perform the
functions described in the Published Product Specifications. Manhattan shall
have no responsibility for problems in the Licensed Products caused by or
arising out of the malfunction of Client's equipment or other software
products.
(B) SERVICES. Manhattan warrants for a period of ninety (90) days following
performance that the Services supplied hereunder shall be performed in a
professional and workmanlike manner.
(C) MAINTENANCE. During the Period of Coverage, Manhattan warrants that the
Licensed Products will materially perform the functions described in the
Published Product Specifications as they may exist during the Period of
Coverage.
(D) WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS. THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES LICENSES AND SERVICES AND IS
NOT A SALE OF GOODS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE
ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
3. EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.
For any breach of warranties contained in Section 2 of this Article, Client's
exclusive remedy shall be as follows:
(A) LICENSED PRODUCTS. The correction of errors in the Licensed Products that
cause breach of warranty, or if Manhattan is unable to provide such
correction, Client shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement as it
relates to the non-conforming Licensed Products and receive a refund of the
License Fees paid for the non-conforming Licensed Products.
Page 2/4
(B) SERVICES. The reperformance of the Services, or if Manhattan is unable to
perform the Services as warranted, Client shall be entitled to recover the
fees paid to Manhattan for the unsatisfactory Services.
(C) MAINTENANCE. The correction of errors in the Licensed Products that cause
breach of warranty, or if Manhattan is unable to provide such correction,
Client shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement as it relates to the
non-conforming Licensed Products and receive a refund of the Maintenance
Fees paid for the non-conforming Licensed Products for the then-current
Period of Coverage.
4. INDEMNITIES. Manhattan agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Client harmless
from and against any claim by any third party in connection with any patent,
copyright or other infringement claim related to the Licensed Products or
Modifications; provided that : (i) Client notifies Manhattan in writing
within thirty (30) days of the claim; (ii) Manhattan has sole control of the
defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii) Client provides
Manhattan with the information, assistance and authority to enable Manhattan
to do so. However, Manhattan shall have no liability for any claims of
infringement that result from the use of the Licensed Products in
conjunction with non-Manhattan software or other non-Manhattan products or
upon a use of the Licensed Products in a manner not contemplated by the
Published Product Specifications. Nothing in this provision shall be
construed as a limitation on Client's ability to retain legal counsel at its
own expense to monitor the proceedings.
Manhattan further agrees that if Client is prevented from using the Licensed
Product(s) due to an actual or claimed infringement of any patent, copyright
or other intellectual property right, then at Manhattan's option, Manhattan
shall promptly either:
(i) procure for Client, at Manhattan's expense, the right to continue to
use the Licensed Product(s);
(ii) replace or modify the Licensed Product(s) at Manhattan's expense so
that the Licensed Product(s) become non-infringing, but substantially
equivalent in functionality; or
(iii) in the event that neither (i) or (ii) are reasonably feasible,
terminate the Agreement as to the infringing Licensed Products and
return Client's License Fees for the infringing Licensed Product(s).
This Section states Manhattan's entire obligation to Client with respect to
any claim of infringement.
5. PAYMENT.
(A) LICENSE FEES. In consideration for the License granted in Article II, Client
agrees to pay to Manhattan the License Fees designated on any Attachment A
attendant to this Agreement upon the execution of this Agreement and any
Attachment A attendant to this Agreement.
(B) SERVICES FEES / EXPENSES. As compensation for performing Services, Client
agrees to pay Manhattan on a time and materials basis, with the exception of
Training, which shall be billed at Manhattan's then-current list prices.
Manhattan will invoice Client every two (2) weeks while Services are being
performed. Client agrees to reimburse Manhattan for all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses Manhattan incurs in providing Services. If uncontested
amounts remain unpaid for thirty (30) days or more, Manhattan may, at its
option, refuse to perform additional Services under this Agreement until
such amounts are paid.
(C) MAINTENANCE FEES. In consideration for the Maintenance to be provided
hereunder and for which Client elects to subscribe, Client shall pay
Maintenance Fees in accordance with any Attachment B attendant to this
Agreement and subsequently as an annual charge. The first payment shall be
due upon execution of any Attachment B attendant to this Agreement. During
the Period of Coverage, Client may be billed additional Maintenance Fees
resulting from additional Designated Sites or additional Licensed Products
or from the upgrade of service level from Basic to Extended. If Client fails
to remit Maintenance Fees pursuant to the terms hereof, Manhattan will have
no duty to provide Maintenance as specified under Article IV.
(D) TAXES. The fees listed in this Agreement do not include taxes. If Manhattan
is required to pay any sales, use, property, excise, value added, gross
receipts, or other taxes levied on the Licensed Products or Services under
this Agreement or on Client's use thereof, then such taxes shall be billed
to and paid by Client. This Section does not apply to taxes based on
Manhattan's net income or Manhattan's employer contributions and taxes.
(E) INVOICES. Unless notified otherwise in writing by Client, Manhattan will
invoice all amounts to Client's address as it appears on Page One of this
Agreement. Client agrees to pay for all uncontested amounts due under this
Agreement upon receipt of invoice. Amounts not contested in good faith and
which remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after invoice date will bear
interest from the invoice date of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per
month or the highest rate permitted by law, if less. Time is of the essence
for all payments due under this Agreement, and in the event any payment due
to Manhattan is collected at law, through an attorney-at-law or a collection
agency, Client agrees to pay all costs of collection, including without
limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
(F) All payments made hereunder are nonrefundable, except as specifically
provided otherwise in this Agreement.
6. LIMITED LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR a) FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MANHATTAN'S
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, b) FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE
PROVISION, OR c) THE INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY PROVISIONS CONTAINED HEREIN: (A)
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR A MONETARY
AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID OR DUE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND
(B) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS
OR INJURIES TO EARNINGS, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF EITHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ANY OTHER REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE.
The provisions of this Agreement allocate the risks between Manhattan and
Client. Manhattan's pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the
limitation of liability specified herein.
7. EMPLOYEE RECRUITING. Each party acknowledges that the other party's
employees are critical to the servicing of its customers. Therefore, Client
agrees not to solicit, employ or otherwise engage Manhattan's employees
without Manhattan's prior written consent for a period of thirty-six (36)
months following that employee's last date of employment by Manhattan and
Manhattan agrees not to solicit, employ or otherwise engage Client's
employees involved in the services contemplated by this Agreement without
Client's prior written consent for a period of thirty-six (36) months
following that employee's last date of employment by Client. Should either
party violate this provision, the violating party agrees to pay the other
party the greater of one-half of the former employee's annual salary or
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). The parties further agree that in the
event of any actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this
section, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any and
all other rights and remedies at law or in equity for damages or otherwise,
which rights and remedies are and shall be cumulative) to specific
performance, a temporary restraining order, or an injunction to prevent such
breach or contemplated breach. Further, such payment and additional relief
does not restrict the non-breaching party's rights or remedies as they
relate to such former employee.
(8) TERMINATION. If either party materially breaches this Agreement, the other
party may give written notice of its desire to terminate and the specific
grounds for termination and, if such default is capable of cure and the
party in default fails to cure the default within thirty (30)
Page 3/4
days of the notice, the other party may terminate this Agreement. If such
default is incapable of cure, the other party may terminate this Agreement
immediately upon written notice of its desire to terminate. Upon
termination, the License to use the Licensed Products shall be immediately
revoked and all Licensed Products and supporting materials will be returned
to Manhattan or destroyed and documentation supplied to Manhattan certifying
destruction. Confidentiality obligations shall survive this Agreement.
(9) EXPORT ADMINISTRATION. Client agrees to comply fully with all relevant
export laws and regulations of the United States ("Export Laws") to assure
that neither the Licensed Products nor any direct product thereof are (A)
exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of Export Laws; or (B) are
intended to be used for any purposes prohibited by Export Laws. Client will
indemnify Manhattan for any losses, costs, liability, and damages, including
reasonable legal fees, incurred by Manhattan as a result of failure by
Client to comply with this Section. Manhattan may, from time to time, deny
Client the right to license in certain countries in order to protect
Manhattan's interests.
10. GENERAL.
(A) WAIVER. The waiver of one breach hereunder shall not constitute the waiver
of any other or subsequent breach. No amendments, modifications or
supplements to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed
by the parties. No action arising out of this Agreement, regardless of form,
may be brought more than one (1) year after the claiming party knew or
should have known of the cause of action.
(B) NOTICES. All notices shall be in writing and personally delivered or sent by
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address
written above or such other address as notified to the other party and such
notice shall be deemed to be made on the fifth (5th) day after such mailing.
To expedite order processing, Client agrees that Manhattan may treat
documents faxed by Client to Manhattan as original documents. However,
either party may require the other to exchange original signed documents.
(C) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or related to
this Agreement, except actions arising under the patent and copyright
provisions of the U.S. Code, shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Georgia. The parties agree that this Agreement is not subject to and shall
not be interpreted by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods.
(D) ASSIGNMENT. Except as provided in this subsection, this Agreement may not be
assigned by either party and any attempted assignment which does not adhere
to these provisions shall be void. However, either party may, upon written
notice to the other party, assign this Agreement to any entities under
common control and ownership of the assigning party, such common control and
ownership being defined as the direct or beneficial ownership of a voting
interest of at least fifty percent (50%) or the right or power, directly or
indirectly, to elect a majority of the Board of Directors, or the right or
power to control management. Either party may assign this Agreement in the
event of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity.
(E) PUBLICITY RIGHTS. Manhattan may include Client's name and logo among its
list of customers and may include a brief description of the services

Such Shares shall be reserved, to the extent that the Company deems
appropriate, from authorized but unissued Shares, and from Shares which
have been reacquired by the Company. Furthermore, any Shares subject to a
Stock Incentive which remain after the cancellation, expiration or exchange
of such Stock Incentive thereafter shall again become available for use

surrender of an ISO or a Non-ISO under Section 8 shall not again become
available for use under this Plan.
2. Effective Date. The effective date of this Amendment shall be March 4,

months after such effective date. Any Stock Incentives granted under the Plan
as amended hereby before the date of such approval automatically shall be
granted subject to such approval.

meanings given them in the Plan.

SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
You should consider the following factors in evaluating us and our
business. If any of the following or other risks actually occurs, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In
such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Our Failure To Manage Growth Of Operations May Adversely Affect Us
We continue to increase the scope of our operations domestically and
internationally and have increased our number of employees substantially. For
example, at December 31, 1997, we had a total of 191 employees and at December
31, 1998, we had a total of 517 employees. This growth will continue to place a
significant strain on our management systems and resources. If we are unable to
manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of
operations will be adversely affected. We may further expand domestically or
internationally through internal growth or through acquisitions of related
companies and technologies. Since November 1997, we have implemented new
accounting, timekeeping and customer service systems. Our ability to manage any
growth will depend in large part on the performance of these new systems.
For us to effectively manage our growth, we must continue to:
. improve our operational, financial and management controls;
. improve our reporting systems and procedures;
. enhance management and information control systems;
. develop the management skills of our managers and supervisors; and
. train and motivate our employees.
Several of our executive officers joined our company since November 1997:

Robert Bearden Senior Vice President-- August 1998

Chief Financial Officer
and Treasurer
David K. Dabbiere Senior Vice President, March 1998
Chief Legal Officer
and Secretary
Neil Thall Senior Vice President-- January 1998
Supply Chain Strategy
Our ability to manage any growth will depend in large part on the
performance of these new managers. Each of these individuals has been involved
only with our most recent operating activity. These executive officers must
integrate themselves into daily operations, gain the trust and confidence of the
other employees and work effectively as a team if we are to be successful.
56
Our Fluctuating Operating Results Could Cause Our Stock Price To Fall
Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and
may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter If our quarterly revenue or
operating results fall below the expectations of investors or public market
analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially. Our quarterly
revenue is difficult to forecast for several reasons, including the following:
. the market for distribution center management and supply
chain execution software is in an early stage of development, and it is
therefore difficult to accurately predict customer demand; and
. the sales cycle for our products and services varies substantially from
customer to customer, and we expect the sales cycle to lengthen. As a
result, we have difficulty determining whether and when we will receive
revenue from a particular customer.
As a result of these and other factors, our license revenue is difficult to
predict. Because our revenue from services is largely correlated to our license
revenue, a decline in license revenue could also cause a decline in our services
revenue in the same quarter or in subsequent quarters. In addition, an increase
or decrease in hardware sales, which provide us with lower gross margins than
sales of software licenses or services, may cause variations in our quarterly
operating results.
Other factors, many of which are outside our control, could also cause
variations in our quarterly revenue and operating results. Some of these other
factors are:
. demand for our products;
. introductions of new products by our competitors;
. the level of price competition by our competitors;
. customers' budgeting and purchasing cycles;
. delays in our implementations at customer sites;
. timing of hiring new services employees and the rate at which these
employees become productive;
. development and performance of our distribution channels;
. timing of any acquisitions and related costs; and
. identification of software quality problems.
Most of our expenses, including employee compensation and rent, are
relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on our
expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in
revenue in relation to our expectations could cause significant changes in our
operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses.
As a result of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of
our revenue levels and operating results are not necessarily meaningful. You
should not rely on our historical quarterly revenue and operating results to
predict our future performance.
57
Our Operating Results Are Substantially Dependent On One Product
Substantially all of our revenue comes from the sale of our PkMS software
and related services and hardware, and we expect this pattern to continue.
Accordingly, our future operating results will depend on the demand for PkMS and
related services and hardware by future customers, including new and enhanced
releases that are subsequently introduced. We cannot assure that the market
will continue to demand our current products or that we will be successful in
marketing any new or enhanced products. If our competitors release new products
that are superior to PkMS in performance or price, demand for our products may
decline. A decline in demand for PkMS as a result of competition, technological
change or other factors would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Our Lengthy Sales Cycle And Delays In Implementations Of Our Products Could
Adversely Impact Us
Delays in, or cancellations of, sales or implementations of our products
and services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. The length of time between our initial
contact with a customer and the agreement by the customer to buy our products
typically ranges from three to six months, and is subject to delays over which
we may have little or no control. Our sales cycle is long because:
. we often must educate our customers regarding the use and benefits of our
products before they decide to purchase;
. our products are often used by our customers in mission critical
operations of their business, and they want to evaluate completely a
proposed implementation before purchasing; and
. our customers must commit significant resources to the integration of our
products with their existing systems.
As the average dollar size of each sale of our products and services
increases, we expect this sales cycle to lengthen because our customers will
take longer to approve spending the larger amount of money. The time it takes
us to implement our products for a customer can also be longer when the
implementation is larger and more complex.
We Have A Short Operating History
We commenced operations and shipped our first version of PkMS in 1990.
Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history on which you can base your
evaluation of our business and prospects. In addition, our prospects must be
considered in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies in
an early stage of development in new and rapidly evolving markets. Although we
have grown significantly during the past five years, we do not believe that our
prior growth rates are sustainable or a good predictor of future operating
results.
Our Inability To Attract And Retain Management And Other Personnel May Adversely
Affect Us
Our success greatly depends on the continued service of Alan J. Dabbiere,
our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Deepak
Raghavan, our Chief Technology Officer, as well as our other key senior
management, technical and sales personnel. The loss of any of our senior
management or other key research, development, sales and marketing personnel,
particularly if lost to competitors, could have a material adverse effect on our
future operating results. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of
our executive officers. Our future success will depend in large part upon our
ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We face
significant competition for individuals with the skills required to perform the
services we offer. We cannot assure that we will be able to attract and retain
sufficient numbers of these highly skilled employees or to motivate them.
Because of the complexity of the distribution center management software market,
we may experience a significant time lag between the date on which technical and
sales personnel are hired and the time at which such persons become fully
productive.
58
Fluctuations In Hardware Sales May Adversely Affect Us
A significant portion of our revenue in any period is comprised of the
resale of a variety of third party hardware products to purchasers of our
software. Our customers may choose to purchase this hardware directly from
manufacturers or distributors of such products. Revenue from hardware sales as
a percentage of total revenue decreased in 1996, 1997 and 1998, and may continue
to decrease in the future. If we are not able to increase our revenue from
software licenses and services or maintain our hardware revenue, our business,
financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Immigration Restrictions May Hinder Our Employee Retention And Hiring
A number of our employees are Indian nationals employed pursuant to non-
immigrant work-permitted visas issued by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service, or INS. There is a limit on the number of new visas
issued by the INS each year. In years in which this limit is reached, we may be
unable to retain or hire additional foreign employees. The federal government
may in the future further restrict the issuance of new visas. If we are unable
to retain or hire additional foreign employees, we may incur additional labor
costs and expenses or not have sufficient qualified personnel to carry on our
business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We May Not Be Able To Continue To Compete Successfully With Other Companies
We compete in markets that are intensely competitive and are expected to
become more competitive as current competitors expand their product offerings
and new competitors enter the market. Our current competitors come from many
segments of the software industry and offer a variety of solutions directed at
various aspects of the supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. We
have faced competition for product sales from:
. other distribution center management software vendors;
. the corporate information technology departments of potential customers
capable of internally developing solutions; and
. smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to
develop distribution center management software.
We may face competition in the future from business application software
vendors that may broaden their product offerings by developing or acquiring
distribution center management software, and Enterprise Resource Planning, or
ERP, and Supply Chain Management, or SCM, applications vendors. These ERP and
SCM vendors have a large number of strong customer relationships which could
provide a significant competitive advantage. New competitors or alliances among
current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market
share. Many of our current or potential future competitors have longer
operating histories, greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources, greater name recognition, and a larger installed base of customers
than we do. To be successful, we must continue to produce products based on the
leading technology in our market. If we cannot maintain our technological
leadership or assemble the development, marketing, sales and customer service
resources to meet any competitive threat, we may lose market share and suffer
reductions in sales prices and gross margins. These developments could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
59
If We Cannot Integrate Acquired Companies With Our Business, Our Profitability
May Be Adversely Affected
We acquired Performance Analysis Corporation, or PAC, in February 1998 and
the Distribution Center Management Systems software product and related assets
of Kurt Salmon Associates in October 1998. We may from time to time acquire
companies with complementary products and services. These acquisitions will
continue to expose us to increased risks and costs, including the following:
. difficulties in assimilating new operations and personnel;
. diverting financial and management resources from existing operations;
and
. difficulties in integrating acquired technologies.
We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from any of these
acquisitions to offset the associated acquisition costs. We will also be
required to maintain uniform standards of quality and service, controls,
procedures and policies. Our failure to achieve any of these standards may hurt
relationships with customers, employees, and new management personnel. In
addition, future acquisitions may result in additional stock issuances which
could be dilutive to our shareholders.
We may also evaluate joint venture relationships with complementary
businesses. Any joint venture we enter into would involve many of the same risks
posed by acquisitions, particularly the following:
. risks associated with the diversion of resources;
. the inability to generate sufficient revenue;
. the management of relationships with third parties; and
. potential additional expenses.
Many business acquisitions must be accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting. Many acquisition candidates have significant intangible assets,
and an acquisition of these businesses, if accounted for as a purchase, would
result in substantial goodwill amortization charges to us, reducing future
earnings. In addition, these acquisitions could involve acquisition-related
charges, such as one-time acquired research and development charges. For
example, we recorded an acquired research and development expense of
approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1998 in connection with the
acquisition of PAC.
We accounted for the $1.6 million expense in the PAC acquisition using a
cost-based approach. This cost-based approach is not a widely used methodology
to value acquired research and development in a technology acquisition. Many
software companies account for acquisitions using an income-based approach to
value acquired research and development. Although we believe that an income-
based approach often provides a more precise valuation, because there was not
then a market for PAC's Windows NT product, which prevented us from preparing
meaningful projections of future cash flow, we elected to use the cost-based
approach.
Our Growth Is Dependent Upon The Successful Development Of Our Direct And
Indirect Sales Channels
We sell our products primarily through our direct sales force and we
support our customers with our internal technical and customer support staff.
Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will greatly
depend on our ability to recruit and train sufficient technical, customer and
direct sales personnel, particularly additional sales personnel focusing on the
new vertical market segments that we target. We have in the past and may in the
future experience difficulty in recruiting qualified sales, technical and
support personnel. Our inability to rapidly and effectively expand our direct
sales force and our technical and support staff could materially adversely
affect our business.
60
We believe that future growth also will depend on developing and
maintaining successful strategic relationships with systems integrators and
third party software application providers. Our strategy is to continue to
increase the proportion of customers served through these indirect channels. We
are currently investing, and plan to continue to invest, significant resources
to develop these indirect channels. This investment could adversely affect our
operating results if these efforts do not generate license and service revenue
necessary to offset this investment. Also, our inability to recruit and retain
qualified systems integrators could adversely affect our results of operations.
Because lower unit prices are typically charged on sales made through indirect
channels, increased indirect sales could adversely affect our average selling
prices and result in lower gross margins. In addition, sales of our products
through indirect channels will reduce our consulting service revenues as the
third party systems integrators provide these services. As indirect sales
increase, our direct contact with our customer base will decrease, and we may
have more difficulty accurately forecasting sales, evaluating customer
satisfaction and recognizing emerging customer requirements. In addition, these
systems integrators and third party software providers may develop, acquire or
market products competitive with our products.
Our strategy of marketing our products directly to customers and indirectly
through systems integrators and third party software application providers may
result in distribution channel conflicts. Our direct sales efforts may compete
with those of our indirect channels and, to the extent different systems
integrators target the same customers, systems integrators may also come into
conflict with each other. Any channel conflicts which develop may have a
material adverse effect on our relationships with systems integrators or hurt
our ability to attract new systems integrators.
There Are Many Risks Associated With International Operations
We continue to expand our international operations, and these efforts
require significant management attention and financial resources. We may not be
able to successfully penetrate international markets or if we do, there can be
no assurance that we will grow these markets at the same rate as in North
America. Because of the complex nature of this expansion, it may adversely
affect our business and operating results.
We have committed resources to the opening and integration of additional
international sales offices and the expansion of international sales and support
channels. Our efforts to develop and expand international sales and support
channels may not be successful. International sales are subject to many risks,
including the following:
. difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
. difficulties in managing international systems integrators;
. difficulties and expenses associated with complying with a variety of
foreign laws;
. difficulties in producing localized versions of our products;
. import and export restrictions and tariffs;
. difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
. unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
. currency fluctuations; and
. political and economic instability abroad.
International sales can also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal
fluctuations resulting from the lower sales that typically occur during the
summer months in Europe and other parts of the world.
61
We Must Continue To Advance Our Technology To Remain Competitive
The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer demands
and evolving industry standards. Our existing products could be rendered
obsolete if we fail to continue to advance our technology. We have also found
that the technological life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate,
partially because of changing demands of other participants in the supply chain.
We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to
enhance our current product line while we concurrently develop and introduce new
products that keep pace with competitive and technological developments. These
developments require us to continue to make substantial product development
investments. Although we are presently developing a number of product
enhancements to the PkMS product suite, we cannot assure that these enhancements
will be completed on a timely basis or gain customer acceptance.
We May Face Liability To Clients If Our Systems Fail
Our products are often critical to the operations of our customers'
businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. We have
guaranteed that our products will comply with certain labeling requirements of
the top 100 consumer goods retailers as ranked by Stores Magazine. If our
products fail to function as required, we may be subject to claims for
substantial damages. Courts may not enforce provisions in our contracts which
would limit our liability or otherwise protect us from liability for damages.
Although we maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage
for errors or omissions, this coverage may not continue to be available on
reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover claims against us. In
addition, our insurer may disclaim coverage as to any future claim. If claims
exceeding the available insurance coverage are successfully asserted against us,
or our insurer imposes premium increases, large deductibles or co-insurance
requirements on us, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
Our Failure To Adequately Protect Our Proprietary Rights May Adversely Affect Us
Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our
proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use.
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well
as confidentiality agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and
protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary
rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited
protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect
our rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Attempts may
be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use
information that we regard as proprietary. Any infringement of our proprietary
rights could materially adversely affect our future operating results.
Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult and
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property
rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our
future operating results.
Intellectual Property Claims Can Be Costly And Result In The Loss Of Significant
Rights
It is possible that third parties will claim that we have infringed their
current or future products. We expect that distribution center management
software developers like us will increasingly be subject to infringement claims
as the number of products grow. Any claims, with or without merit, could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, or
require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could
have a material adverse effect upon our operating results. We cannot assure
that these royalty or licensing agreements, if required, would be available on
terms acceptable to us, if at all. We cannot assure that legal action claiming
patent infringement will not be commenced against us, or that we would prevail
in such litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties
in patent litigation. If a patent claim against us were successful and we could
not obtain a license on acceptable terms or license a substitute technology or
redesign to avoid infringement, our business, financial condition and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected.
62
Year 2000 Risks May Result In Material Adverse Effects On Our Business
Over the next 12 months, many companies will need to upgrade their computer
systems and software products in order to ensure that these systems and software
are able to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. While our
current products are designed to comply with these "Year 2000" requirements, we
may still face claims resulting from system problems associated with the century
change. Our software products that are designed to be Year 2000 compliant may
not contain all necessary date code changes. Customers using earlier versions
of our products which were not Year 2000 compliant may have to install a later
version of the software that is Year 2000 compliant or implement a modification
to correct that version. Because our software system is often integrated with
hardware and operating or interface software over which we exert little control,
the failure of the manufacturers of those systems to insure that they are Year
2000 compliant may cause the integrated system to fail. Any Year 2000 problems
with our products and implementations which are not satisfactorily corrected may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, Year 2000 non-compliance in our internal information
technology, or IT, systems and non-IT systems on which our operations rely may
have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of
operations. While we believe that these systems, many of which have been
recently upgraded, are all Year 2000 compliant, they may not be. Non-compliance
by our business partners may also have an adverse impact on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
We believe that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues in a variety of ways.
Expenditures by many companies to address Year 2000 issues may result in reduced
funds available to purchase software products such as those that we offer.
Potential customers may also choose to defer purchasing Year 2000 compliant
products until they believe it is absolutely necessary, thus potentially
resulting in stalled market sales within the industry. Conversely, Year 2000
issues may cause companies to accelerate purchases, thereby causing an increase
in short-term demand and a consequent decrease in long-term demand for software
products. Additionally, Year 2000 issues could cause a significant number of
companies, including our customers, to reevaluate their current software needs
and as a result switch to other systems or suppliers. Any of the foregoing
could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Our directors, executive officers and key employees together control
approximately 80.7% of our outstanding common stock. In particular, Alan J.
Dabbiere, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President,
controls approximately 45.6% of our common stock. As a result, these
shareholders, if they act together, are able to influence the management and
affairs of our company and all matters requiring shareholder approval, including
the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of our company and might affect the market price of the common
stock.
63
We May Require Additional Capital
We may require additional capital to finance our growth or to fund
acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product
lines. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
. demand for our products;
. the timing of and extent to which we invest in new technology;
. the level and timing of revenue;
. the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development;
. the success and related expense of increasing our brand awareness;
. the extent to which competitors are successful in developing new products
and increasing their market share; and
. the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing intellectual property
rights.
To the extent that our resources are insufficient to fund our future
activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private
financing. However, additional funding, if needed, may not be available on
terms attractive to us, or at all. Our inability to raise capital when needed
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of
equity securities, the percentage ownership of our Company by our shareholders
would be diluted.
Our Articles Of Incorporation And Bylaws And Georgia Law May Inhibit A Takeover
Of Our Company
Our basic corporate documents and Georgia law contain provisions that might
enable our management to resist a takeover of our Company. These provisions
might discourage, delay or prevent a change in the control of our Company or a
change in our management. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests
and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors and
take other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could limit the
price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the
common stock.
Our Stock Price Has Been Highly Volatile
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since
our initial public offering in April 1998. In addition, the trading price of
our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various
factors, including:
. quarterly variations in operating results;
. announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our
competitors;
. developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights; and
. changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.
In addition, the stock market has experienced volatility that has
particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology
companies and that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.
