     On April 2, 2007, Interwoven, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has named Joseph L.

Carnecchia continues to serve as the Company’s President.
     Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Cowan, age 58, was an independent business consultant from July 2006 to April 2007. Mr. Cowan served as Chief Executive Officer of Manugistics Group, Inc., a provider of synchronized supply chain and revenue management solutions, from July 2004 to July 2006, when it was acquired by JDA Software Group, Inc. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors of that company from August 2004 to July 2006. From December 2003 to July 2004, Mr. Cowan was an independent business consultant. From November 2002 to December 2003, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of EXE Technologies, Inc., a provider of supply chain management and work management software and services. From April 1998 to November 2002, he served in various capacities with business units of Invensys plc, including most recently as President and Chief Executive Officer of Invensys Automation & Information Systems, a provider of enterprise resource planning and supply chain management software, from April 2001 to November 2002, and as President and Chief Executive Officer of Wonderware, a provider of industrial automation software, from July 2000 to April 2001. Mr. Cowan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Auburn University and a Masters of Science degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University.
     Mr. Cowan’s offer letter, dated March 16, 2007, provides for an initial base annual salary of $450,000, on-target incentive pay of $400,000 and eligibility under the Company’s benefits programs. The payment of his incentive pay will be subject to the achievement of corporate and individual performance goals that are expected to be established by mutual agreement between the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and Mr. Cowan on or before May 17, 2007. In addition, Mr. Cowan will be paid a signing bonus of $50,000, which is repayable on a pro-rated basis if Mr. Cowan resigns prior to October 2, 2007.
     Pursuant to Mr. Cowan’s offer letter, in connection with his appointment, it will be recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that he be granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, of which options to purchase 75,000 shares will vest on April 2, 2008 and the remainder will vest ratably over a 36-month period thereafter. It will also be recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that he be granted a restricted stock unit award with respect to 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, of which 150,000 shares will vest on April 2, 2009 and the remainder will vest in equal annual installments on April 2, 2010 and 2011.
     Mr. Cowan’s employment is “at will” and may be terminated at any time, with or without formal cause. However, if Mr. Cowan is terminated without “cause” or terminates his employment with the Company for “good reason,” then he will be entitled

Additionally, if Mr. Cowan is terminated without “cause” or terminates his employment with the Company for “good reason,” in either case within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, then he will be entitled to receive the same benefits described above, except his initial stock option grant and his initial restricted stock unit award will immediately vest as to 100% of the number of any unvested shares subject to such options or restricted stock units. In addition, the Company has agreed to increase Mr. Cowan’s severance payments to offset any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, up to $2 million. Mr. Cowan’s entitlement to these severance payments is conditioned upon him providing the Company and its affiliates a general liability release and waiver of claims.
     Under his offer letter, the Company agreed to enter into its standard form of Indemnity Agreement for officers and directors with Mr. Cowan.
