Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

      Our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates a director’s personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Company 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 such director derived an improper benefit.

      Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Company shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law any person, testator or intestate made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or serves or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Company or any predecessor of the Company.

      Furthermore, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that neither any amendment nor repeal of the provisions providing for indemnification or elimination of personal liability under the Certificate of Incorporation nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with such provisions shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the right of indemnification or elimination of personal liability provided under the Certificate of Incorporation in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim accruing or arising prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

      Our Bylaws provide that the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as that Section may be amended and supplemented from time to time), indemnify any director, officer or trustee which it shall have power to indemnify under Section 145 against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by that Section. The Bylaws further provide that such indemnification: (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office; (ii) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee; and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Pursuant to the Bylaws the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification under the Bylaws shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Company or any other person.

      Additionally, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, respectively, also provide that the Company shall pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation or the relevant section of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, respectively.

      See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 17 herein.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

      Since April 1, 2004, the Company has issued and sold the following unregistered securities:

     On April 23, 2004, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “SSF Purchase Agreement”) with Special Situations Fund III, L.P., Special Situations Cayman Fund, L.P., Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P., Special Situations Technology Fund, L.P., and Special Situations Technology Fund II, L.P., referred to collectively as the “SSF Entities.” The transaction contemplated by the SSF Purchase Agreement is referred to as the “2004 SSF Financing.” Under the SSF Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,126,780 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $3.55 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 450,712 shares of our common stock exercisable at $4.50 per share. The shares of common stock and warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. On February 2, 2005, the number of shares purchasable on exercise of the warrants was adjusted to 454,543 and the exercise price was adjusted to $4.45 per share after application of the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants in connection with the issuance of shares in an acquisition. On November 20, 2006, the number of shares purchasable on exercise of the warrants was adjusted to 487,387 and the exercise price was adjusted to $4.15 per share after application of the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants in connection with the issuance of warrant shares and the shares issuable upon the conversion of certain notes from the financing for an acquisition. The Company has also entered into a registration rights agreement dated April 23, 2004, under which the Company has agreed to register for resale by the SSF Entities the shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the 2004 SSF Financing, with such number of shares subject to adjustments.

     On February 2, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Daniel and Carrie Romine (the "Sellers") pursuant to which Unify acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Acuitrek. Under the terms of the agreement, Unify made an initial payment to the stockholders of $455,000 (which included 104,166 shares of Common Stock), and over the next three years has agreed to make retention-based earn-out payments of $1.1 million and potential performance-based earn-out payments, all to be paid with 50 percent cash and 50 percent Unify common stock (assuming profitability of the Acuitrek division). Unify has agreed to register the shares issuable under the Agreement pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Sellers. The stocks issued and issuable to the Sellers are being issued pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. Shares issuable in the future to the Sellers are based on the market value of Unify common stock at the time of issuance.

     On November 20, 2006, the Company entered into various agreements with ComVest and SSF to provide debt financing for the Gupta acquisition consisting of convertible term loans totaling $5.35 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million. The term loans have an interest rate of 11.25% and have terms of 48 to 60 months. The revolver has an interest rate of prime plus 2.25% and has a maturity date of October 31, 2010. The agreements provide for ComVest to have a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. As part of the financing, ComVest received 402,000 warrants and SSF received 268,000 warrants. The warrants are for the purchase of common stock at prices from $1.35 to $1.90 per share. The warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. The Company entered into a registration rights agreement on November 20, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file registration statements sufficient to register the resale of the shares of common stock which will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants or the conversion of the convertible term notes of ComVest and SSF.

     On various dates during the three year period ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 118,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant. There were no underwriters for the transactions. 80,000 shares were issued upon employment of two current executive officers, 25,000 shares upon employment of a former executive officer, and 13,000 shares to existing executive officers. The options were not issued for cash, so there was no offering price and no underwriting discounts or commissions. The options were four year options with monthly vesting and therefore are partially vested. None of the options have been exercised. The Company claims that the grant of these options were exempt from the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering.

Item 16. Exhibits

      The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index commencing at page II-6 hereof.

Item 17. 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;
 
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee “table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(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.
 

II-3



      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.
 
4. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
 
5. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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.
 
6. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act:
 
  (i)       The information if any omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
  (ii) Each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
 
  (iii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of this registration statement, other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Ruler 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness, provided, however, that no statement made in this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Re:
          Unify Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-1
          File No. 333-142045

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As legal counsel for Unify Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the registration on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-142045) (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,940,000 shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock'), including 1,270,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the conversion of certain convertible term notes described in the Registration Statement (the "Conversion Shares"), and 670,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of certain warrants described in the Registration Statement (the "Warrant Shares"), to be sold by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement.

We have examined such instruments, documents and records as we deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. With respect to our opinion below that the shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, we have relied solely upon our examination of the authorized shares provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to the date hereof and as certified to be complete and true by the Secretary of the Company. With respect to our opinion that the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, we have assumed that such shares will be issued in accordance with the terms of the convertible term notes and will be evidenced by appropriate certificates, duly executed and delivered. With respect to our opinion that the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, we have assumed that such shares will be issued in accordance with the terms of the warrants and will be evidenced by appropriate certificates, duly executed and delivered.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, in the case of the Warrant Shares, if and when issued upon the exercise of the warrants in accordance with the terms of the warrants, and in case of the Conversion Shares, if and when issued upon the conversion of the convertible term notes in accordance with the terms of the notes.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above and the use of our name wherever it appears in said Registration Statement. This opinion is to be used only in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.
