         Not applicable


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a Delaware
corporation, such as the Registrant, may indemnify a director or officer against
his or her expenses and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) involving such person by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or 

                                      - 1 -
<PAGE>   3

officer, concerning actions taken in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if such director or officer
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

         The DGCL also provides that in a derivative action, a Delaware
corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred to the extent that such director or officer acted in
good faith and in a manner such director or officer reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court determines upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court deems proper.

         In either of the two preceding cases, if the director or officer is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or
proceeding, or in defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, the DGCL requires
a Delaware corporation to indemnify the director or officer against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

         The DGCL also generally permits the advancement of a director's or
officer's expenses.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (which relates to
liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on,
capital stock) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

         Article X of Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
implements the foregoing provisions and provides as follows:

                                    ARTICLE X

                     INDEMNIFICATION/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

                  1. The corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers,
         employees, fiduciaries, and agents to the full extent permitted by the
         Delaware General Corporation Law as it may be amended from time to
         time.

                  2. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be
         deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
         entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
         disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for
         by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and
         as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   4

         continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
         employee, fiduciary or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs,
         executors, and administrators of such a person.

                  3. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
         behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
         fiduciary or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the
         request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary
         or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
         other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
         incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as
         such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
         him against such liability under provisions of this Article.

                  4. To the maximum extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the
         General Corporation Law of Delaware, a director of this corporation
         shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders
         for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
         for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
         the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
         good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
         violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
         derived an improper personal benefit.

         In addition, Article Six of Registrant's Bylaws implements the
foregoing provisions and provides as follows:

                                   ARTICLE VI

                       Indemnification of Certain Persons

                  Section 1. Indemnification Against Third Party Claims. Any
         person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
         threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
         civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
         by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he
         is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or
         is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
         officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
         venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the
         corporation against expenses (including attorneys, fees), judgments,
         fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
         by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
         in good faith and, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, in
         a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
         corporation or, in all other cases, in a manner that was at least not
         opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any
         criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
         conduct was unlawful.

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   5

                  Section 2. Indemnification Against Derivative Claims. Any
         person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
         threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
         the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
         fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
         corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
         director, OFFICER, employee or agent of another corporation,
         partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be
         indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys'
         fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
         defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith
         and, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, in a manner he
         reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or,
         in all other cases, in a manner that was at least not opposed to the
         corporation's best interests; but no indemnification shall be made in
         connection with a proceeding in which such person has been adjudged to
         be liable to the corporation.

                  Section 3. Indemnification Against Claims Involving - Improper
         Personal Benefit. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of
         this Article VI, no indemnification shall be made to any director in
         connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to
         the director, whether or not involving action in his official capacity,
         in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an
         improper personal benefit.

                  Section 4. Rights to Indemnification. To the extent that a
         director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been
         successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
         referred to in Section 1, 2 or 3 of this Article VI or in defense of
         any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
         expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
         by him in connection therewith without the necessity of any action
         being taken by the corporation other than the determination in good
         faith that such defense has been successful. In all other cases, any
         indemnification under Section 1, 2 or 3 of this Article VI (unless
         ordered by a Court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
         in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
         director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
         because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this
         Article VI. Such determination shall be made by (a) the board of
         directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
         were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if a quorum
         cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board
         designated by the board, which committee shall consist of two or more
         directors not parties to the proceeding, except that directors who are
         parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of
         directors for the committee, or (c) if the quorum cannot be obtained or
         the committee cannot be established under Subsection (b) of this
         Section 4 or, even if a quorum is obtained or a committee designated,
         if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or committee so
         directs, the determination required to be made by this Section 4 shall
         be made by (i) independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the
         board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in i
         Subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4 or, if a quorum of the full
         board cannot be obtained and a 

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   6

         committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected
         by a majority of the full board or (ii) by the shareholders.

                  Section 5. Indemnification by Court Order. A director,
         officer, employee or agent who is or was a party to a proceeding may
         apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to
         another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application,
         the court, after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may
         order indemnification in the following manner: (a) if it determines the
         person is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 4 of this
         Article VI, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the
         court shall also order the corporation to pay the person's reasonable
         expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification; or (b) if it
         determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
         indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or
         not he met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this
         Article VI or was adjudged liable on the circumstances described in
         Section 2 or 3 of this Article VI, the court may order such
         indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the
         indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall
         have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Section 2 or 3 of
         this Article VI is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in
         connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to
         obtain court-ordered indemnification.

                  Section 6. Effect of Termination of Action. The termination of
         any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
         conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
         not of itself create a presumption that the person seeking
         indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
         reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and,
         with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause
         to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Entry of a judgment by
         consent as part of a settlement shall not be deemed a final
         adjudication of liability, nor of any other issue or matter.

                  Section 7. Advance of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys'
         fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
         proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
         disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in Section
         4 of this Article VI if: (a) the director, officer, employee or agent
         furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good-faith
         belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Sections 1
         and 2 of this Article VI, (b) the director, officer, employee or agent
         furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or
         on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is determined that he did not
         meet such standard of conduct and (c) a determination is made that the
         facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude
         indemnification under this Article VI.

                  Section 8. Other Indemnification Rights. The indemnification
         provided hereby shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
         which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
         vote of shareholders or 

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   7

         disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for
         by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and
         as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall
         continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
         employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors
         and administrators of such a person. However, the indemnification
         provisions provided hereby or otherwise concerning the corporation's
         indemnification of or advance for expenses to directors (except for
         insurance policies) shall be valid only if and to the extent the
         provision is consistent with the provisions of Section 145 of the
         Delaware General Corporation Law.

                  Section 9. Report to Shareholders. Any indemnification of or
         advance of expenses to a director in accordance with this Article VI,
         if arising out of a proceeding by or on behalf of the corporation,
         shall be reported in writing to the shareholders with or before the
         notice of the next shareholders' meeting. If the next shareholder
         action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of
         directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before
         the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such
         action.

         The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers. All of those agreements contain
identical substantive terms and generally require the Registrant to indemnify
and advance expenses to the director or executive officer party thereto whenever
such indemnification or advancement is permitted under the DGCL.

         Pursuant to the Enterprise Software, Inc. 1998 Employee Stock Option
Plan, no member of the Registrant's Compensation Committee, which administers
the Plan, is liable for any action or determination made by him in good faith.
Also pursuant to such Plan, the Company is required to indemnify and hold
harmless each member of that Committee from and against any cost, liability or
expense imposed or incurred in connection with that person's or the Committee's
taking or failing to take any action under the Plan.

         The Registrant maintains insurance on a regular basis (and not
specifically in connection with this offering) against liabilities arising on
the part of directors and officers out of their performance in such capacities
or arising on the part of the Registrant out of the foregoing indemnification
provisions, subject to certain exclusions and to the policy limits.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                           Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   9

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                  arising after the effective date of the registration statement
                  (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                  individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                  change in the information set forth in the registration
                  statement;

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in the registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement;

         Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
         apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
         amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
         the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into
         the registration statement;

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
         be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a Delaware
corporation, such as the Registrant, may indemnify a director or officer against
his or her expenses and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) involving such person by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or 

                                      - 1 -

officer, concerning actions taken in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if such director or officer
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

         The DGCL also provides that in a derivative action, a Delaware
corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred to the extent that such director or officer acted in
good faith and in a manner such director or officer reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court determines upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court deems proper.

         In either of the two preceding cases, if the director or officer is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or
proceeding, or in defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, the DGCL requires
a Delaware corporation to indemnify the director or officer against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

         The DGCL also generally permits the advancement of a director's or
officer's expenses.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (which relates to
liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on,
capital stock) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

         Article X of Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
implements the foregoing provisions and provides as follows:

                                    ARTICLE X

                     INDEMNIFICATION/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

                  1. The corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers,
         employees, fiduciaries, and agents to the full extent permitted by the
         Delaware General Corporation Law as it may be amended from time to
         time.

                  2. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be
         deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
         entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
         disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for
         by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and
         as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall

                                     - 2 -
4

         continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
         employee, fiduciary or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs,
         executors, and administrators of such a person.

                  3. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
         behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
         fiduciary or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the
         request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary
         or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
         other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
         incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as
         such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
         him against such liability under provisions of this Article.

                  4. To the maximum extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the
         General Corporation Law of Delaware, a director of this corporation
         shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders
         for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
         for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
         the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
         good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
         violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
         derived an improper personal benefit.

         In addition, Article Six of Registrant's Bylaws implements the
foregoing provisions and provides as follows:

                                   ARTICLE VI

                       Indemnification of Certain Persons

                  Section 1. Indemnification Against Third Party Claims. Any
         person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
         threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
         civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
         by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he
         is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or
         is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
         officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
         venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the
         corporation against expenses (including attorneys, fees), judgments,
         fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
         by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
         in good faith and, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, in
         a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
         corporation or, in all other cases, in a manner that was at least not
         opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any
         criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
         conduct was unlawful.

                                     - 3 -
5

                  Section 2. Indemnification Against Derivative Claims. Any
         person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
         threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
         the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
         fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
         corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
         director, OFFICER, employee or agent of another corporation,
         partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be
         indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys'
         fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
         defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith
         and, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, in a manner he
         reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or,
         in all other cases, in a manner that was at least not opposed to the
         corporation's best interests; but no indemnification shall be made in
         connection with a proceeding in which such person has been adjudged to
         be liable to the corporation.

                  Section 3. Indemnification Against Claims Involving - Improper
         Personal Benefit. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of
         this Article VI, no indemnification shall be made to any director in
         connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to
         the director, whether or not involving action in his official capacity,
         in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an
         improper personal benefit.

                  Section 4. Rights to Indemnification. To the extent that a
         director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been
         successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
         referred to in Section 1, 2 or 3 of this Article VI or in defense of
         any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
         expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
         by him in connection therewith without the necessity of any action
         being taken by the corporation other than the determination in good
         faith that such defense has been successful. In all other cases, any
         indemnification under Section 1, 2 or 3 of this Article VI (unless
         ordered by a Court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
         in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
         director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
         because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this
         Article VI. Such determination shall be made by (a) the board of
         directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
         were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if a quorum
         cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board
         designated by the board, which committee shall consist of two or more
         directors not parties to the proceeding, except that directors who are
         parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of
         directors for the committee, or (c) if the quorum cannot be obtained or
         the committee cannot be established under Subsection (b) of this
         Section 4 or, even if a quorum is obtained or a committee designated,
         if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or committee so
         directs, the determination required to be made by this Section 4 shall
         be made by (i) independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the
         board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in i
         Subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4 or, if a quorum of the full
         board cannot be obtained and a 

                                     - 4 -
6

         committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected
         by a majority of the full board or (ii) by the shareholders.

                  Section 5. Indemnification by Court Order. A director,
         officer, employee or agent who is or was a party to a proceeding may
         apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to
         another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application,
         the court, after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may
         order indemnification in the following manner: (a) if it determines the
         person is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 4 of this
         Article VI, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the
         court shall also order the corporation to pay the person's reasonable
         expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification; or (b) if it
         determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
         indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or
         not he met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this
         Article VI or was adjudged liable on the circumstances described in
         Section 2 or 3 of this Article VI, the court may order such
         indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the
         indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall
         have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Section 2 or 3 of
         this Article VI is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in
         connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to
         obtain court-ordered indemnification.

                  Section 6. Effect of Termination of Action. The termination of
         any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
         conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
         not of itself create a presumption that the person seeking
         indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
         reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and,
         with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause
         to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Entry of a judgment by
         consent as part of a settlement shall not be deemed a final
         adjudication of liability, nor of any other issue or matter.

                  Section 7. Advance of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys'
         fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
         proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
         disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in Section
         4 of this Article VI if: (a) the director, officer, employee or agent
         furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good-faith
         belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Sections 1
         and 2 of this Article VI, (b) the director, officer, employee or agent
         furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or
         on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is determined that he did not
         meet such standard of conduct and (c) a determination is made that the
         facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude
         indemnification under this Article VI.

                  Section 8. Other Indemnification Rights. The indemnification
         provided hereby shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
         which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
         vote of shareholders or 

                                     - 5 -
7

         disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for
         by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and
         as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall
         continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
         employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors
         and administrators of such a person. However, the indemnification
         provisions provided hereby or otherwise concerning the corporation's
         indemnification of or advance for expenses to directors (except for
         insurance policies) shall be valid only if and to the extent the
         provision is consistent with the provisions of Section 145 of the
         Delaware General Corporation Law.

                  Section 9. Report to Shareholders. Any indemnification of or
         advance of expenses to a director in accordance with this Article VI,
         if arising out of a proceeding by or on behalf of the corporation,
         shall be reported in writing to the shareholders with or before the
         notice of the next shareholders' meeting. If the next shareholder
         action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of
         directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before
         the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such
         action.

         The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers. All of those agreements contain
identical substantive terms and generally require the Registrant to indemnify
and advance expenses to the director or executive officer party thereto whenever
such indemnification or advancement is permitted under the DGCL.

         Pursuant to the Enterprise Software, Inc. 1998 Employee Stock Option
Plan, no member of the Registrant's Compensation Committee, which administers
the Plan, is liable for any action or determination made by him in good faith.
Also pursuant to such Plan, the Company is required to indemnify and hold
harmless each member of that Committee from and against any cost, liability or
expense imposed or incurred in connection with that person's or the Committee's
taking or failing to take any action under the Plan.

         The Registrant maintains insurance on a regular basis (and not
specifically in connection with this offering) against liabilities arising on
the part of directors and officers out of their performance in such capacities
or arising on the part of the Registrant out of the foregoing indemnification
provisions, subject to certain exclusions and to the policy limits.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                           Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                                     - 7 -
9

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                  arising after the effective date of the registration statement
                  (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                  individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                  change in the information set forth in the registration
                  statement;

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in the registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement;

         Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
         apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
         amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
         the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into
         the registration statement;

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
         be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
