2.             Section 2 of the Shareholder Irrevocable Undertaking is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“2.  Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference.       Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, at all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) cause or permit the Transfer of any of the Shares to be effected, or discuss, negotiate or make any offer regarding any Transfer of any of the Shares, (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or other similar commitment or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares in contravention of the obligations of Shareholder under this Agreement, (iii) request that Intentia register the Transfer of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any

“3.  Undertaking.  Shareholder hereby undertakes to (i) accept the Offer in respect of the Shares, including all Warrants, and tender such Shares, including all Warrants, within 15 business days from the date on which the acceptance period under the Offer commences and not withdraw such acceptance once tendered; (ii) vote against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, consummation of the Offer, including any Acquisition Proposal, at any meetings of the shareholders of Intentia at which any such proposal is considered; and (iii) not exercise any option, warrant or other right to acquire Shares held by it, including, without limitation, the Warrants until the earlier to occur of (A) the termination of the Offer by Lawson in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Press Announcement, or (B) termination of the Transaction Agreement.”

 

4.             Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Lawson that, since June 2, 2005, it has not exercised any option, warrant or other right to acquire Shares, including, without limitation, the Warrants.

 

5.             This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws (except to the extent that applicable laws governing the corporate organization of Intentia mandate the application of the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such party).  Each party irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment.
