RECITALS

Lawson has organized Bidder and caused Bidder to organize Lawson Acquisition for the purpose of reorganizing Lawson into a holding company through a merger of Lawson Acquisition with and into Lawson, with Lawson as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Lawson will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bidder.

Bidder will enter into a business combination with Intentia pursuant to a recommended public offer (the “Offer”) for the outstanding securities of Intentia.

1.              The Transaction

1.1                                 Press Announcement.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Bidder, Lawson and Company shall issue a joint press release in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Press Announcement”) setting forth the terms of the Offer for (i) Intentia shareholders to tender all of Intentia’s issued and outstanding Series A and Series B shares (the “Shares”) in exchange for shares of Bidder common stock at fixed exchange ratios equal to 0.5061 per Series A share (the “A Share Exchange Ratio”) and 0.4519 per Series B share (the “B Share Exchange Ratio”) and together with the A Share Exchange Ratio, (the “Share Exchange Ratios”), and (ii) holders of outstanding warrants for the purchase of Series B shares (the “Warrants”) to tender the Warrants in exchange for shares of Bidder common stock at a fixed exchange ratio equal to 0.2157 per outstanding Warrant (the “Warrant Exchange Ratio”) (the shares of Bidder common stock offered pursuant to the Offer are collectively referred to as the “Offered Common Stock”).  Subject to the completion of documentation required by applicable law and regulation as mutually agreeable to the parties, Bidder will make an offer to holders of Intentia’s 5% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”) to tender the Notes in exchange for a cash payment equal to the principal amount of each outstanding Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the end of the acceptance period of the Offer (the “Note Consideration”).

1.2                                 The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Law”), Lawson Acquisition will merge with and into Lawson at the Effective Time (as defined).  Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Lawson Acquisition will cease, and Lawson will continue as the surviving entity in the Merger and will succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company in accordance with Delaware Law.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable after the public announcement of the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Offer (the “Unconditional Announcement”), the parties will file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law and, as soon as practicable after the Unconditional Announcement, will make all other filings or recordings required under Delaware Law.  The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as may be agreed by Intentia and Lawson and will be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

1.3                                 Offer Document; Securities Law Filings; Lawson Stockholder Meeting.  (a)  Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Bidder shall prepare a prospectus relating to the Offer (the “Offer Document”) for delivery to the holders of the Shares, the Warrants and the Notes as required by the Naringslivets Borskomitte/NBK rules and the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act (SFS1991:980) and the regulations issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (the “Takeover Rules”).  The Company agrees to provide Bidder and Lawson in a timely manner with all information relating to the Company and its Affiliates required to be included in the Offer Document to comply with the disclosure requirements contained in the Takeover Rules.

(b)                                 Bidder and Lawson shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, a combined registration statement and proxy statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) to register the offer and sale of the Offered Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and to solicit proxies in connection with a meeting of the Lawson stockholders to consider the Merger and the issuance of the Offered Common Stock pursuant to the Offer.

(c)                                  Intentia and its counsel shall be given the opportunity to review and comment on (i) the Offer Document and (ii) the Registration Statement, before each is filed with the NBK or the SEC, respectively and made publicly available.

(d)                                 The Company shall furnish all information concerning it and the holders of its capital stock as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Offer Document.  None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Bidder, Lawson or Intentia for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement and the Offer Document will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the 1933 Act, at the time the Offer Document is first mailed to Intentia’s shareholders, at the time the Registration Statement is first mailed to Lawson’s

2

stockholders or at the time of the Lawson Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The consolidated financial statements of each of Lawson and Intentia supplied or to be supplied by the applicable party for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the accounting requirements and rules and regulations of the SEC or the Takeover Rules applicable to each party and fairly present the financial condition of each party as of the respective date thereof and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of each party for the respective period then ended.  Lawson and Bidder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Offer Document to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC or the Takeover Rules, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC.  Lawson and Bidder will promptly provide in writing to Intentia and its counsel any comments of the NBK and SEC with respect to (i) the Offer Document and (ii) the Registration Statement, respectively, as applicable and Intentia shall cooperate with Lawson and Bidder in preparing responses to such comments.  All information supplied by or on behalf of Bidder, Lawson or Intentia for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement or the Offer Document will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Takeover Rules.  Lawson and Bidder shall also promptly file, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective as promptly as possible and, if required, mail to its stockholders any amendment to the Registration Statement or the Offer Document that becomes necessary after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective or the Offer Document is first mailed to Intentia’s shareholders.
