Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement pursuant to a debt commitment that we obtained from affiliates of the initial purchasers of our senior subordinated notes ("the credit facility").

General. The borrower under the credit facility initially was Spyglass Merger Corp. and immediately following completion of the Merger became Serena. The credit facility originally provided for (1) a seven-year term loan in the amount of $400.0 million amortizing at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis for the first six and three-quarters years after the closing date of the Merger, with the balance paid at maturity, and (2) a six-year revolving credit facility that permits loans in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million, including a letter of credit facility and a swing line facility. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the credit facility provides for one or more uncommitted incremental term loan or revolving credit facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150.0 million. Proceeds of the term loan on the initial borrowing date were used to partially finance the Merger, to refinance certain indebtedness of Serena and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger. Proceeds of the revolving credit facility have been and any incremental facilities will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.

In the quarters ended July 31, 2006, April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2008, the Company made principal payments on the original $400 million term loan totaling $25 million, $30 million and $25 million, respectively.

In the quarters ended April 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company made mandatory principal payments totaling $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, on the original $400 million term loan.

In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, the Company made a voluntary principal payment totaling $30 million on the revolving credit facility.

In the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the Company made voluntary principal payments on the non-extended 2012 revolving credit facility and the extended 2015 revolving credit facility totaling $25.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

The revolving credit facility bears an annual commitment fee on the undrawn portion of that facility commencing on the date of execution and delivery of the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the Company borrowing $65.0 million under the revolving credit facility in the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008 and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. ("LCPI") becoming a defaulting lender due to its failure to fund its loan commitment, the then annual commitment fee of 0.5% was not payable pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit agreement until April 2010, when a $30 million portion of the loans under the revolving Credit Facility was repaid. In connection with the amendment of the Company's senior secured credit agreement in March 2011, Barclays Bank PLC assumed LCPI's revolving credit commitment of $10.0 million, reviving the applicable revolving credit commitment and resulting in total non-extended and extended revolving credit commitments of $75.0 million. Effective February 1, 2011, the annual commitment fee was 0.375% per annum.

In the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the Company cancelled the non-extended 2012 revolving credit commitment totaling $55.0 million. Effective with the cancellation, the Company's annual commitment fee is limited to the extended 2015 revolving credit commitment totaling $20.0 million.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement. On March 2, 2011 the Company entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the senior secured credit agreement (the "amend and extend transaction"). As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016 (the "extended term loans"), and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015 (the "extended revolving credit commitments"). The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended (the "non-extended term loans"), and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended (the "non-extended revolving credit commitments") will continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively. The Company refers to the extended term loans and extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the "extended facilities," and the non-extended term loans and non-extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the "non-extended facilities." As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 and through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change, and the principal amount of the extended and non-extended term loans will continue to amortize at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis. In connection with the amendment, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. resigned as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer under the senior secured credit agreement and was replaced by Barclays Bank PLC.

On April 12, 2012 the Company entered into an Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (the "Extension Agreement and Amendment") to its senior secured credit agreement to extend the final maturity date of its non-extended term loans due March 10, 2013. In addition, the Company borrowed $15.9 million of incremental term loans under the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the Extension Agreement and Amendment, $101.5 million of the non-extended term loans due March 10, 2013 were extended through the establishment of a new series of extended term loans, and the Company used the proceeds of the incremental term loans to repay in full $15.9 million of non-extended term loans due March 10, 2013 that were not extended as part of the Extension Agreement and Amendment. The Company refers to the incremental term loans and the newly extended term loans as the "2016 Tranche B Term Loans." The 2016 Tranche B Term Loans have an applicable margin for London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, -based loans of 4.0% (which is 200 basis points higher than the interest rate under the non-extended term loans) and a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. The other terms and conditions of the 2016 Tranche B Term Loans are the same as those for the extended term loans due March 10, 2016. After giving effect to the Extension Agreement and Amendment and the repayment of the

remaining non-extended term loans due March 10, 2013, all the Company's outstanding term loans under the senior secured credit agreement have a final maturity date of March 10, 2016 and the aggregate principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change. The Company paid each lender holding 2016 Tranche B Term Loans an original issuer discount equal to 1.5% of the principal amount of 2016 Tranche B Term Loans held by such lender.

Senior Subordinated Notes

The Company has outstanding $134.3 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes, which bear interest at a rate of 10.375%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and which mature on March 15, 2016. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations under the Company's senior secured credit agreement will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The Company does not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors. The notes are the Company's unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, and the guarantees, if any, will be unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the guarantors. The notes are subject to redemption at the Company's option under terms and conditions specified in the indenture related to the notes, and may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon certain change of control events.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Company repurchased, in eight separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $32.6 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a gain of $8.7 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, the Company repurchased, in six separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $24.4 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a gain of $4.6 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, the Company repurchased, in two separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $8.7 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a loss of $0.2 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.

The Company may from time to time repurchase the senior subordinated notes in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem the senior subordinated notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated March 10, 2006.

Debt Covenants

The senior subordinated notes and the credit facility contain various covenants including limitations on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, restricted payments, the incurrence of liens, transactions with affiliates and sales of assets. In addition, the credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios and capital expenditure limitations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit facility as of January 31, 2012.

The Company's senior secured credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated Interest Expense ratio of a minimum of 2.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010. Consolidated Interest Expense is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as consolidated cash interest expense less cash interest income and is further adjusted for certain non-cash interest expenses and other items. The Company is also required to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Total Debt to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of a maximum of 5.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2011 and through the test period ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter. Consolidated Total Debt is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as total debt other than certain indebtedness and is reduced by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet in excess of $5.0 million. As of January 31, 2012, our consolidated Total Debt was $338.1 million, consisting of total debt other than certain indebtedness totaling $442.8 million, net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million totaling $104.7 million. Failure to satisfy these ratio requirements would constitute a default under the senior secured credit agreement. If the Company's lenders failed to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior secured credit agreement could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes.

The Company's ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.0x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments and certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as the Company's ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million under our senior secured credit agreement (subject to reduction for mandatory prepayments under our senior secured credit agreement and inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement from time to time; as of January 31, 2012, we had $308.5 million outstanding under our term loan and $0.0 million under our revolving credit facility), to acquire persons engaged in a similar business that become restricted subsidiaries and to make other investments equal to the greater of $25.0 million or 2% of our consolidated assets. Fixed charges is defined in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes as consolidated Interest Expense less interest income, adjusted for acquisitions, and further adjusted for non-cash interest expense.
