               7. STOCK CERTIFICATES. At and after the Effective Time, all of
the outstanding certificates that, prior to that date, represented shares of

of Concur Washington Common Stock under the Concur Washington 1994 Stock Option
Plan (the "1994 Plan") shall become options to purchase the same number of
shares of Concur Delaware Common Stock at the original exercise price per share
and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable,
have the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an "incentive
stock option" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), if applicable, and all other material terms and conditions
(including but not limited to the terms and conditions applicable to such
options by virtue of the 1994 Plan). In addition, at the Effective Time, all
outstanding and unexercised portions of all options to purchase shares of Concur
Washington Common Stock granted by 7Software, Inc. ("7Software") under the 1997
Stock Option Plan of 7Software and assumed by Concur Washington in connection
with its acquisition of 7Software in June 1998 (such assumed 1997 Stock Option
Plan of 7Software hereinafter referred to as the "7Software Plan") shall become
options to purchase the same number of shares of Concur Delaware Common Stock at
the original exercise price per share and shall, to the extent permitted by law
and otherwise reasonably practicable, have the same term, exercisability,
vesting schedule, status as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the

Time. At the Effective Time, Concur Delaware shall also adopt and assume the
1994 Plan and the 7Software Plan.

               9. CONVERSION OF WARRANTS OF CONCUR WASHINGTON. At the Effective

exercise price per share and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise
reasonably practicable, have the same material terms and conditions.

               10. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Since all shares of Concur Washington
Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be exchanged for a like number of shares
of Concur Delaware Common Stock and Preferred Stock, no fractional shares of
Concur Delaware Common Stock or Preferred Stock will be issued in connection
with the Merger.

               11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. At the Effective Time, the
obligations of Concur Washington under or with respect to every plan, trust,
program and benefit then in effect or administered by Concur Washington for the
benefit of the directors, officers and employees of Concur Washington shall
become the lawful obligations of Concur Delaware and shall be implemented and
administered in the same manner and without interruption until the same are
amended or otherwise lawfully altered or terminated. Effective at the Effective
Time, Concur Delaware hereby expressly adopts and assumes all obligations of
Concur Washington under such employee benefit plans.

               12. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time, as and when required
by the Surviving Corporation or by its successors or assigns, there shall be
executed and delivered on behalf of Concur Washington such deeds, assignments
and other instruments, and there shall be taken or caused to be taken by it all
such further action as shall be appropriate, advisable or necessary in order to
vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation
the title to and possession of all property, interests, assets, rights,
privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority of Concur Washington,
and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Merger Agreement. The officers
and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of
and on behalf of Concur Washington, or otherwise, to take any and all such
actions and to execute and deliver any and all such deeds and other instruments
as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing.

Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned by the Board of
Directors of Concur Washington or the Board of Directors of Concur Delaware,
notwithstanding approval of this Merger Agreement by the Boards of Directors and
shareholders of Concur Washington and Concur Delaware.

Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Boards of Directors of

shareholders of Concur Washington or the sole stockholder of Concur Delaware
shall not: (i) alter or change the amount or kind of shares, securities, cash,

would apply in matters relating to the internal affairs of Concur Delaware and
the Merger.
