WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, and Lenders are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 12, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Encore Software, Inc. (“Encore”), a Loan Party and a Subsidiary of Borrower, desires to purchase substantially all of the assets of Punch Software LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Punch”), pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof and a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A (the “Punch Acquisition Agreement”) by and among Encore, Borrower and Punch (such transaction, the “Punch Acquisition”);

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders consent to the consummation of the Punch Acquisition, and Agent and Lenders have agreed to the foregoing subject to the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, Borrower, Agent and Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2. Consent. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7 below and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 8 below, Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the Punch Acquisition by Encore pursuant to the terms of the Punch Acquisition Agreement. This is a limited consent and shall not be deemed to constitute a consent or waiver of any other term, provision or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as applicable, or to prejudice any right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

3. Amendments to Credit Agreement: In reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 8 below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in the following respects:

As of the Punch Acquisition Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Punch Acquisition Documents, Encore will have good title to the assets acquired pursuant to the Punch Acquisition Agreement, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(b) Clause (ii) of Section 6.7(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
