W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee, are parties to an Indenture dated as of February 6, 2007 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (herein called the “Securities”);

WHEREAS, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2009, with Bentley Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Micro Focus International plc, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“PLC”) and Micro Focus (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), as amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 17, 2009, and the Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 27, 2009, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

WHEREAS, following completion of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company (other than Common Shares canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Merger Agreement and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.01(d) of the Merger Agreement)),were converted into the right to receive $1.50 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration,” as defined in Section 2.01(a) of the Merger Agreement).

WHEREAS, Section 6.05 of the Indenture provides that in the case of any merger of the Company with another corporation, the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that the Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to convert all such Securities) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (the “Reference Property”).

WHEREAS, Section 6.04 of the Indenture provides that if Section 6.05 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 6.04 shall not apply.

WHEREAS, Section 12.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture without the consent of any Holders for the purposes specified therein;

WHEREAS, this First Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company (including a Board Resolution);

WHEREAS, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture; and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid indenture and agreement according to its terms have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree as follows for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders:

ARTICLE 1

EFFECT OF MERGER

SECTION 1.1 Conversion of Securities. In accordance with Section 6.05 of the Indenture, at and after the effective time of the Merger, the Holder of each Security then Outstanding shall have the right, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, to convert such Security only into the Merger Consideration received as a result of the Merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security was convertible immediately prior to the Merger (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall be equal to $235.29 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities).

If any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the TIA shall be deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this First Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be.
