UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2012

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “OpenText” or the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), with effect from July 2, 2012 (see note 17).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Cloud Services

Starting in the first quarter for the year ended June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013), in light of our acquisition of EasyLink on July 2, 2012, we adopted a policy to classify revenues and cost of revenues relating to "Cloud Services" as a separate line item within "Revenues" and "Cost of revenues", respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation since such prior period amounts are not material. For a detailed explanation of the products that make up our Cloud Services offerings please see our “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included under Part I, Item 2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Research and Development Tax Credits

Non-refundable research and development tax credits are now being reflected as a component of "Income tax" expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to current period presentation. As of June 30, 2012, long-term “Deferred tax assets” have been increased from previously reported amounts by approximately $34.9 million , with a corresponding decrease to “Long-term income taxes recoverable”. There was no change to total assets, liabilities, or shareholders' equity as a result of this reclassification. The prior period comparative figures on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income have not been adjusted as the amounts are not material.

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICY UPDATES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05" (ASU 2011-12), which indefinitely defers the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of AOCI in both net income and other comprehensive income (OCI) on the face of the financial statements.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. Pursuant to the adoptions, we have presented a separate Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. There were no other significant or material changes to our reporting as a result of these adoptions.

NOTE 8—DEFERRED CHARGES AND CREDITS

Deferred charges and credits relate to cash taxes payable and the elimination of deferred tax balances relating to legal entity consolidations completed as part of an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries. Deferred charges and credits are amortized to income tax expense over a period of six years.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Term Loan and Revolver

Our credit facility consists of a $600 million term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets. We entered into and borrowed from this credit agreement on November 9, 2011.

The Term Loan has a five year term and repayments made under the Term Loan are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. The Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% . For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , we recorded interest expense of approximately $4.1 million and $8.2 million , respectively, relating to the Term Loan (three and six months ended December 31, 2011 — $2.5 million ).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded interest expense of approximately $0.9 million and $2.7 million , respectively, relating to our previously outstanding term loan.

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2012 , we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Mortgage

We currently have an "open" mortgage with a bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2013 . The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50% . Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.

As of December 31, 2012 , the carrying value of the mortgage was $11.4 million ( June 30, 2012 — $11.4 million ).

As of December 31, 2012 , the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $16.1 million ( June 30, 2012 — $16.3 million ).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively, relating to the mortgage (three and six months ended December 31, 2011 — $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively).

CDT Defined Benefit Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

The following are the details of the change in the benefit obligation for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:



	As of December 31, 2012			As of June 30, 2012
Benefit obligation as of June 30, 2012	$	21,461		$	18,231
Service cost	230			326
Interest cost	446			873
Benefits paid	(229		)	(441		)
Actuarial (gain) loss	876			5,179
Foreign exchange (gain) loss	1,662			(2,707		)
Benefit obligation as of December 31, 2012	24,446			21,461
Less: Current portion	(524		)	(475		)
Non current portion of benefit obligation	$	23,922		$	20,986

The following are the details of net pension expense for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Pension expense:
Service cost	$	117	$	81	$	230	$	166
Interest cost	226		217		446		444
Amortization of actuarial gains and losses	71		—		139		—
Net pension expense	$	414	$	298	$	815	$	610

The CDT pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore no contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan obligations are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. Currently there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remaining fiscal year.

In determining the fair value of the CDT pension plan benefit obligations as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 , respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:



	As of December 31, 2012		As of June 30, 2012
Assumptions:
Salary increases	2.50	%	2.50	%
Pension increases	2.00	%	2.00	%
Discount rate	3.60	%	4.00	%
Employee fluctuation rate:
to age 30	1.00	%	1.00	%
to age 35	0.50	%	0.50	%
to age 40	—	%	—	%
to age 45	0.50	%	0.50	%
to age 50	0.50	%	0.50	%
from age 51	1.00	%	1.00	%

Anticipated pension payments under the CDT pension plan for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:



	Fiscal years ending June 30,
2013 (six months ended June 30)	$	262
2014	562
2015	620
2016	690
2017	759
2018 to 2022	5,599
Total	$	8,492

CDT Anniversary Plan

CDT’s long-term employee benefit obligations arise under CDT’s “anniversary plan”. The obligation is unfunded and is carried at its fair value.

IXOS Defined Benefit Plans

Included in our pension liability, as of December 31, 2012 , is a net amount of $0.7 million ( June 30, 2012 — $0.7 million ) that relates to two IXOS defined benefit pensions plans (IXOS pension plans) in connection with certain former members of the IXOS Board of Directors and certain IXOS employees, respectively. The net periodic pension cost with respect to the IXOS pension plans is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets.

NOTE 12—SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share Capital

Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares. No Preference Shares have been issued.

Treasury Stock

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential future reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or otherwise.

On November 23, 2012, we issued 182,616 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of awards granted under our Fiscal 2012 LTIP (three and six months ended December 31, 2011— nil ). See below for more details regarding this settlement.

Share-Based Payments

Total share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock options	$	1,228	$	974	$	2,567	$	1,772

Deferred stock units (directors)	172		64		360		129
Restricted stock awards (legacy Vignette employees)	—		9		10		20
Total share-based compensation expense	$	3,174	$	3,397	$	6,276	$	8,241

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of December 31, 2012 , options to purchase an aggregate of 2,088,946 Common Shares were outstanding and 2,806,000 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four

years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:



	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2012	2,147,151		$	40.07
Granted	252,545		53.20
Exercised	(190,000	)	28.12
Forfeited or expired	(120,750	)	45.70
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	2,088,946		$	42.42	4.41	$	30,040
Exercisable at December 31, 2012	898,276		$	27.32	2.11	$	25,674

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (ASC Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the periods indicated, the following weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions used were as follows:



	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	16.28		$	17.99		$	16.78		$	17.71
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	37		%	41		%	38		%	41		%
Risk–free interest rate	0.64		%	0.74		%	0.64		%	0.79		%
Expected dividend yield	—		%	—		%	—		%	—		%
Expected life (in years)	4.35			4.30			4.35			4.30
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%	5		%	5		%

As of December 31, 2012 , the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was $17.5 million , which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 years .

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , cash in the amount of $2.0 million and $5.4 million , respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was nil and $0.8 million , respectively.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 , cash in the amount of $3.0 million and $10.2 million , respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.4 million and $0.8 million , respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

On September 10, 2007, our Board of Directors (the Board) approved the implementation of an incentive plan called the “Open Text Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan” (LTIP). The LTIP is a rolling three year program whereby we make a series of annual grants, each of which covers the respective performance period, to certain of our employees, and which vests upon the employee and/or the Company meeting pre-determined performance and market-based criteria. One criterion we use to measure performance is, if over the three year period the relative cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) of our Company, compared to the cumulative TSR of companies comprising a peer index group, is higher than a pre-determined target percentile (that is set at the date of grant), then a payout will be made. Depending on whether this target is met or exceeded with respect to the stipulations of the individual LTIPs, the amount of payout would be determined. In calculating the TSR achievement we use the average closing price of our Common Stock, as it trades over the last 30 days ending September 15th (following the third year in the LTIPs rolling three year program). LTIPs will be referred to in this document based upon the year in which the grants are expected to be settled.

Grants made in Fiscal 2010 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2012 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2010 starting on July 1, 2009. We met some of the performance conditions and settled the Fiscal 2012 LTIP by issuing 182,616 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of approximately $8.3 million .

Grants made in Fiscal 2011 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2013 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2011 starting on July 1, 2010. Vesting of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) granted under the Fiscal 2013 LTIP are based upon market and performance-based conditions and may be equal to 50% , 100% or 150% of the target payment. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2013 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Vesting of PSUs granted under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP are based upon market-based conditions and will be interpolated between 0% and 150% of the target payment. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. Vesting of PSUs granted under the Fiscal 2015 LTIP are based upon market-based conditions and will be interpolated between 0% and 150% of the target payment. RSUs granted are service-based awards and vest over the life of the LTIP. Subject to certain terms and conditions, if an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period, all RSUs shall become vested RSUs at the end of the vesting period. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with ASC Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.

Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:



					Three Months ended December 31,		Six Months ended December 31,
Grants Made Under LTIP	Equity Instrument	Start Date	End Date	Expected Total LTIP Expense	2012	2011	2012	2011
Fiscal 2012 LTIP	PSU	3/31/2010	9/15/2012	17,314	—	1,830	579	5,280
Fiscal 2013 LTIP	PSU	10/29/2010	9/15/2013	4,707	298	520	598	1,040
Fiscal 2014 LTIP	PSU	2/3/2012	9/15/2014	8,898	862	—	1,397	—
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	PSU	12/3/2012	9/15/2015	3,132	86	—	86	—
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	RSU	11/2/2012	9/15/2015	6,699	377	—	377	—
				40,750	1,623	2,350	3,037	6,320

Of the total compensation cost of $40.8 million noted in the table above , $24.8 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $16.0 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , cash in the amount of approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million , respectively, was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods ( three and six months ended December 31, 2011 — $0.4 million and $1.0 million ).

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Interest expense (recovery)	(2,041	)	4,897		(187	)	6,459
Penalties expense (recovery)	(3	)	(7,279	)	36		(7,241	)
Total	(2,044	)	(2,382	)	(151	)	(782	)

As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 , the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:



	As of December 31, 2012		As of June 30, 2012
Interest expense accrued *	$	20,002	$	19,316
Penalties accrued *	$	6,000	$	4,040



*	These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Included in the accrual balances as of December 31, 2012 are accrued interest expense and penalties of $0.4 million and $1.9 million , respectively, relating to the acquisition of EasyLink.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of December 31, 2012 , could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $11.9 million , relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to examinations by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.

We are subject to tax examinations in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have examinations open in Canada, the United States, France, Spain, and India. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes.

We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to our tax examinations and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict with any level of certainty the exact nature of any future possible settlements.

As at December 31, 2012 , we have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of our non-Canadian subsidiaries other than certain United States subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future. We do plan to make periodic repatriations that will be subject to withholding taxes from certain United States subsidiaries and have accrued additional tax cost attributable to these distributions in the amount of $0.3 million .

The decrease in the provision for income taxes from $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the impact of valuation allowances set up during the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The net increase in tax expense from $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 to $19.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to tax benefits realized in Fiscal 2012 relating to the internal reorganization of the acquired international subsidiaries of Metastorm Inc., in the amount of $4.1 million , and a Canadian election to file tax returns in U.S. dollar functional currency, in the amount of $5.9 million . The Fiscal 2013 tax expense includes an increase of $4.6 million relating to the impact of adjustments in the United States and Australia upon filing of tax returns. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

NOTE 14—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:


•	Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.


•	Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


•	Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for the derivative instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our consolidated financial statements at an amount which approximates their fair value (a Level 3 measurement) due to their short maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

In July 2010, we entered into a hedging program with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows related to a portion of the Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, and are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with ASC Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of December 31, 2012 , is recorded within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”.

As of December 31, 2012 , the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $49.8 million ( June 30, 2012 — $99.6 million ).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

The effect of these derivative instruments on our consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

Reconciliations of the liability relating to each of our materially outstanding restructuring plans are provided below:

Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. We expect to incur more charges under the Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan, as we execute the remaining restructuring actions. As of December 31, 2012 , we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan to be approximately $15.0 million , of which $8.3 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date.

The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is shown below.



Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total

Foreign exchange	62			10			72
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	2,594		$	3,018		$	5,612

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan, $17.9 million of costs have been recorded within Special charges. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is shown below.



Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	4,422		$	3,355		$	7,777

Acquisition-related costs

Included within Special charges for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.5 million and $1.2 million , respectively. Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.4 million , respectively.

Included within Special charges for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.3 million and $1.1 million , respectively.

Other charges

Included within Special charges for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is a charge of approximately $1.0 million relating to interest accrued on certain pre-acquisition sales tax liabilities, offset by a recovery of $0.3 million relating to revised sublease assumptions on a restructured facility acquired in a prior period.

In addition to the charges incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012, included within Special charges for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is a charge of $0.6 million relating to revised sublease assumptions on a restructured facility acquired in a prior period.

Included within Special charges for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is $2.7 million related to the write-off of debt issuance costs, associated with our old term loan, that was repaid after we entered into our current credit facility on November 9, 2011.

NOTE 17—ACQUISITIONS

EasyLink Services International Corporation

On July 2, 2012, we acquired EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), a global provider of cloud-based electronic messaging and business integration services, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The acquisition extends our product offerings as we continue to evolve in the Enterprise Information Management market category. Total consideration for EasyLink was $342.3 million , paid in cash. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The results of operations of EasyLink have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 2, 2012.

The following tables summarize the consideration paid for EasyLink and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:



Cash consideration paid	$	342,272

Acquisition related costs (included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income): for the three months ended December 31, 2012	$	466
for the six months ended December 31, 2012	$	1,215

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their fair values as of July 2, 2012, are set forth below:



Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $26,941)	$	64,319
Non-current assets	37,537
Intangible customer assets	126,600
Intangible technology assets	70,500
Total liabilities assumed	(128,906		)
Total identifiable net assets	170,050
Goodwill	172,222
	$	342,272

The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the determination of certain potential unrecorded liabilities relating to legacy EasyLink litigation, onerous contracts, and sales tax-related matters. We expect to finalize this determination on or before June 30, 2013.

No portion of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of EasyLink is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $26.2 million . The gross amount receivable was $27.5 million of which $1.3 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

The amount of EasyLink’s revenues and net income included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 , and the unaudited pro forma revenues and net income of the combined entity, had the acquisition been consummated as of July 1, 2011, are set forth below:



	Revenues		Net Income
Actual from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012	$	44,158	$	3,699
Actual from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012	$	87,617	$	4,045



	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2011		2011
Supplemental Unaudited Pro forma Information
Total revenues	$	366,998	$	701,524
Net income*	$	48,973	$	97,601

*Included in pro forma net income are estimated amortization charges relating to the allocated values of intangible assets. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 , pro forma net income includes a $13.2 million tax recovery relating to certain one-time tax benefits recognized by EasyLink during the period.

The results of operations of EasyLink were combined with OpenText as of July 2, 2012 and hence there is no "reportable" pro forma impact on revenues and net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 .

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table above is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period presented or the results that may be realized in the future.

NOTE 18—GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

We have entered into the following contractual obligations with minimum payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows:



	Payments due between
	Total		January 1, 2013— June 30, 2013		July 1, 2013— June 30, 2015		July 1, 2015— June 30, 2017		July 1, 2017 and beyond

	$	789,011	$	54,072	$	174,139	$	520,932	$	39,868

*Net of $2.5 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into agreements with customers which may include provisions for indemnifying our customers for legal claims that our software products infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to breaches of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (ASC Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with ASC Topic 450-20. As of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 , any such aggregated losses are not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized may have been incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

j2 Global, Inc. (j2) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Advanced Messaging Technologies, Inc. (AMT) have filed several patent infringement lawsuits alleging that OpenText and its subsidiaries and predecessors-in-interest, Captaris, Inc. and EasyLink, are infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 6,208,638, 6,597,688, 7,020,132, 6,350,066, and 6,020,980 by offering fax-related products. j2 and AMT are seeking injunctions, royalties and damages. Through the recent acquisition of EasyLink, the Company now has complete carriage of the defense of these cases, which are pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In each of the cases, OpenText and its subsidiaries or predecessors-in-interest have asserted, or will assert, defenses and counterclaims contending that the patents are invalid and not infringed. In addition, OpenText and its subsidiaries or predecessors-in-interest have asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 6,208,638, 6,497,688, and 7,020,132 are unenforceable due to j2's inequitable conduct before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and are seeking to add counterclaims against j2 for tortious interference with prospective business advantage and unfair competition. Each of the cases is in the discovery, or an earlier, phase. In addition, j2 has requested that the USPTO open reexamination proceedings regarding U.S. Patent No. 6,020,980. The Company believes j2's patent infringement allegations are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend them.

In addition, one of OpenText's subsidiaries, Xpedite Systems, LLC (Xpedite), has sued j2 for patent infringement, alleging j2 is infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 5,872,640 and 7,804,823 through j2's offering of fax-related products. Xpedite is seeking an injunction, royalties and damages. j2 has asserted defenses and counterclaims asserting that the patents are invalid and not infringed, and j2 has requested that the USPTO undertake reexamination proceedings related to the patents, and the USPTO has agreed to do so. The litigation is stayed until the conclusion of the USPTO's reexamination proceedings.

Based on our assessment of ASC Topic 450-20, no amount has been accrued in connection to these cases referred to above.

Contingencies

EasyLink is currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000 through to calendar year ended December 31, 2009. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximatel y $10.5 million .

In addition, in July 2009 EasyLink was assessed approximately $0.5 million in tax, interest and penalties for sales tax in New York State for the period between March 2001 and May 2004. EasyLink has posted a bond in this amount and is pursuing a judicial appeal of the July 2009 decision with New York State Court of Appeals. New York State sales tax audits are also currently underway for subsequent periods from June 2004 through to February 2011. The results of these audits for subsequent periods, and the potential sales tax exposure for EasyLink, are in significant part contingent upon the outcome of the above referenced sales tax appeal.

OpenText intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

NOTE 20—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of our Board and the transaction approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the six months ended December 31, 2012 , Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned approximately $0.5 million ( six months ended December 31, 2011 — $0.7 million ) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Certain statements in this report may contain words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would” and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities laws. In addition, any information or statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any

underlying assumptions, are forward-looking, and based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate. Such forward-looking information or statements are subject to important assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and the actual outcome may be materially different. Our assumptions, although considered reasonable by us at the date of this report, may prove to be inaccurate and consequently our actual results could differ materially from the expectations set out herein.

See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP-based measures to GAAP-based measures.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, we regularly evaluate various acquisition opportunities within our traditional Enterprise Content Management (ECM) market and also in the broader

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) market. We made one acquisition during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013).

On July 2, 2012, we acquired EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), a company based in Georgia, USA and a global provider of cloud-based electronic messaging and business integration services for $342.3 million. See note 17 “Acquisitions” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our earnings and increase shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business.

Outlook for the Remainder of Fiscal 2013

We believe we have a strong position in the EIM market. We continue to have approximately 50% of our revenues from customer support revenues, which are generally a recurring source of income, and we expect this trend will continue. We also believe that our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position and helps to reduce our impact from a downturn in the economy that may occur in any one specific region. Our goal is to build on our leadership in ECM, Business Process Management (BPM) and Customer Experience Management (CEM) and to expand our position in Information Exchange (iX) and Discovery, to emerge as the leading vendor in EIM.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:


(i)	Revenue recognition,


(ii)	Goodwill,


(iii)	Acquired intangibles,


(iv)	Restructuring charges,


(v)	Business combinations,


(vi)	Foreign currency translation, and


(vii)	Income taxes.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2013, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 provides a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following tables provide a detailed analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. For each of the periods indicated below, we present our revenues by product, revenues by major geography, cost of revenues by product, total gross margin, total operating margin, gross margin by product, and their corresponding percentage of total revenue. In addition, we provide non-GAAP measures for the periods discussed in order to provide additional information to investors that we believe will be useful as this presentation is in line with how our management assesses our Company's performance. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP-based measures to GAAP-based measures.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

1) License Revenues:

License Revenues consist of fees earned from the licensing of software products to customers. Our license revenues are impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our software products, and our acquisitions. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties.

License revenues decreased by $13.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is geographically attributable to a decrease in Americas of $10.1 million , and a decrease in EMEA of $5.8 million , offset by an increase of $2.3 million in Asia Pacific. Overall the decrease in license revenues were attributable to a lower number of deals greater than $0.5 million that closed in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (16 deals compared to 29).

License revenues decreased by $23.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is geographically attributable to a decrease in Americas of $15.0 million, and a decrease of $10.2 million in EMEA, offset by an increase of $2.3 million in Asia Pacific . Overall the decrease in license revenues were attributable to a lower number of deals greater than $0.5 million that closed during the period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (27 deals compared to 51).

Cost of license revenues and margins remained relatively stable during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

2) Cloud Services:

Cloud services revenues consist of “managed hosting” services arrangements (through dedicated servers) primarily attributable to our acquisition of EasyLink. These arrangements allow our customers to make use of legacy EasyLink and OpenText software, services and content over Internet enabled networks supported by OpenText data centers. The hosted web applications allow customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure. Revenues are generated on several transactional usage-based models, are typically billed monthly in arrears, and can therefore fluctuate from period to period. Certain service fees are occasionally charged to customize hosted software for some customers and are either amortized over the expected economic life of the contract, in the case of setup fees, or recognized in the period they are provided. Cost of cloud services revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of an in-house data hardware center, technical support personnel-related costs and some third party royalty costs.

As a result of our EasyLink acquisition on July 2, 2012 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we adopted a policy to classify revenues and cost of revenues relating to "Cloud Services" as separate line items within "Revenues" and "Cost of Revenues", respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation since such prior period amounts were not material.

3) Customer Support Revenues:

Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. Customer support revenues are generated from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, with customer renewal options. Cost of customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

Customer support revenues decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase in Americas of $0.5 million , a decrease in EMEA of $2.1 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $0.8 million .

Customer support revenues decreased by $0.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase in the Americas of $4.3 million, a decrease in EMEA of $6.6 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $1.7 million.

Cost of customer support revenues was relatively stable, with margins remaining at approximately 83% during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

4) Professional Service and Other Revenues:

Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (Professional services). “Other” revenues consist of hardware revenues. These revenues are grouped within the “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Cost of professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Professional service and other revenues increased by $1.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase of $1.5 million in Asia Pacific.

Cost of professional service and other revenues decreased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by $2.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is partially due to a reduction in the use of subcontractors resulting in savings of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012. As a result of efficiencies achieved and improved utilization, we have experienced increased margins in Professional services.

Amortization of Acquired Technology-based Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets increased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by approximately $1.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is due to the acquisition of EasyLink at the beginning of Fiscal 2013.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is primarily due to a decrease in commission benefits of $5.2 million , which was largely the result of lower commission accruals resulting from lower license revenues. This decrease was offset by an increase in marketing expenses of $1.8 million incurred as a result of the acquisition of EasyLink, and an increase in payroll and payroll related benefits of $3.2 million , primarily made up of $2.9 million on account of the acquisition of EasyLink and the remainder of the increase due to miscellaneous items.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is primarily due to a decrease of $9.8 million in commission benefits, resulting from lower license revenues. This decrease was offset by an increase of $4.9 million in marketing expenses incurred as a result of the acquisition of EasyLink, and a $4.8 million increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits primarily made up of $5.8 million on account of the acquisition of EasyLink, offset by the impact of miscellaneous items.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, related overhead, audit fees, other professional fees, consulting expenses and public company costs.

Special charges:

Special charges typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans relating to employee workforce reduction and abandonment of excess facilities, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition related costs and other similar charges. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating existing OpenText operations with that of acquired entities. Actions related to such restructuring plans are typically completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

This was primarily due to the write-off of debt-issuance costs related to our old term debt in the amount of $2.7 million which was included in the amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to none in the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Special charges decreased by $0.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related costs and other charges.

For more details on Special charges, see note 16 "Special Charges" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Other Income (expense)

Net other income (expense) relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses). These income (expenses) are dependent upon the change in foreign currency exchange rates vis-à-vis the functional currency of the legal entity and we are unable to predict the impact of these income (expenses) on our net income.

Other income (expense), net	$	1,541	$	(1,096	)	$	2,637	1,470	(10,479	)	11,949

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense is primarily comprised of cash interest paid and accrued on our debt facilities, offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest expense, net	$	(4,515	)	(908	)	$	(3,607	)	(8,883	)	(2,490	)	(6,393	)

Net interest expense increased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as compared to same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to interest incurred on a new financing agreement we entered into on November 9, 2011, which resulted in additional borrowings, as compared to our outstanding debt during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. For more details see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

We initiated an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries in Fiscal 2010 and we continue to integrate acquisitions into this new organizational structure for the following reasons: 1) to consolidate our intellectual property within certain jurisdictions, 2) to effect an operational reduction of our global subsidiaries with a view to, eventually, having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction, 3) to better safeguard our intellectual property in jurisdictions with well established legal regimes and protections and 4) to simplify the management of our intellectual property ownership.

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates. We also note that we are subject to tax rate discrepancies between our domestic tax rate and foreign tax rates that are significant and these discrepancies are primarily related to the United States, Luxembourg and Germany.



	Three Months Ended December 31,							Six Months Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		Change increase (decrease)			2011		2012	Change increase (decrease)	2011
Provision for income taxes	$	3,153	$	(3,666	)	$	6,819	19,372	13,878	5,494

The effective tax rate has decreased and is 4.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 12.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The net increase in tax expense from $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 to $19.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to tax benefits realized in Fiscal 2012 relating to the internal reorganization of the acquired international subsidiaries of Metastorm Inc., in the amount of $4.1 million, and a Canadian election to file tax returns in U.S. dollar functional currency, in the amount of $5.9 million. The Fiscal 2013 tax expense includes an increase of $4.6 million relating to the impact of adjustments in the United States and Australia upon filing of tax returns. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. The Company uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain non-U.S. GAAP measures. Non-U.S. GAAP net income and non-U.S. GAAP EPS are calculated as net income or net income per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and restructuring, all net of tax. The Company's management believes that the presentation of non-U.S. GAAP net income and non-U.S. GAAP EPS provides useful information to investors because it excludes non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined by the Company as those that do not impact operating decisions taken by the Company's management and is based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports. In the course of such evaluation and for the purpose of making operating decisions, the Company's management excludes certain items from its analysis, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other income (expense) and the taxation impact of these items. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which management evaluates the business of the Company and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP. The Company believes the provision of supplemental non-U.S. GAAP measures allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance. As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP based financial measures to non-U.S. GAAP based financial measures for the following periods presented:

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share based compensation expense from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges are generally incurred in the aftermath of acquisitions and are not indicative or related to continuing operations and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) relates primarily to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(5)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision (recovery) and a non-GAAP-based tax rate; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of expenses that are excluded for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP-based adjusted net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table sets forth changes in cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:



	Six Months Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012			Change increase (decrease)			2011
Cash and cash equivalents	$	367,258		$	(46,653	)	$	413,911

Cash provided by operating activities	$	136,457		$	46,411		$	90,046
Cash used in investing activities	$	(326,195	)	$	(55,269	)	$	(270,926	)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(8,325	)	$	(325,416	)	$	317,091

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at major banks with original maturities of 90 days or less. We do not hold any securities or other investments at this time.

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities and committed loan facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, and operating needs for the next 12 months. However, any material or further acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing.

We do not have any restrictions on repatriation of cash from foreign subsidiaries nor do we expect taxes on repatriation of cash held in foreign subsidiaries to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $46.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to an increase in net income before the impact of non cash items of $15.6 million and increased working capital changes of $30.8 million.

Cash used in investing activities

Our cash used in investing activities is primarily on account of acquisitions.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $55.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to the higher purchase consideration for EasyLink, purchased in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, over our acquisition of Global 360 Holding Corp, purchased in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $325.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. In Fiscal 2012 we borrowed $600 million under our new Term Loan and used a portion of the proceeds to repay all of our previously outstanding credit facility debt in the amount of $287.3 million. The remaining difference was due to principal payments on the new Term Loan of $15 million and less cash collected from the issuance of Common Shares in Fiscal 2013.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

Term loan and Revolver

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2012 , we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

The material financial covenants under the credit facility are that:

•

We must maintain a “consolidated leverage” ratio of no more than 3:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges, all defined as “EBITDA” as per the credit agreement; and


•	We must maintain a “consolidated interest coverage” ratio of 3:1 or more at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated interest coverage ratio is defined for this purpose as our consolidated EBITDA over our consolidated interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to this credit facility. For more details relating to our Term Loan, please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage

Pensions

As of December 31, 2012, our total unfunded pension plan obligation was $25.7 million , of which $0.6 million is payable within the next 12 months. We expect to be able to make the long-term and short-term payments related to this obligation in the normal course. For a detailed discussion see note 11 "Pension Plans and Other Post Retirement Benefits" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

We have entered into the following contractual obligations with minimum annual payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows:



	Payments due between
	Total		January 1, 2013— June 30, 2013		July 1, 2013— June 30, 2015		July 1, 2015— June 30, 2017		July 1, 2017 and beyond
Long-term debt obligations	$	632,800	$	34,276	$	114,364	$	484,160	$	—
Operating lease obligations*	150,684		16,974		57,170		36,672		39,868
Purchase obligations	5,527		2,822		2,605		100		—
	$	789,011	$	54,072	$	174,139	$	520,932	$	39,868

*Net of $2.5 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on our Term Loan and a mortgage on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. See note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

Based on our assessment of ASC Topic 450-20, no amount has been accrued in connection to these cases referred to above.

Contingencies

OpenText intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice except for the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. None of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, and we currently do not believe that they potentially may have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations,

liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our Term Loan and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan. As of December 31, 2012 , we had an outstanding balance of $570.0 million on the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 2.5%. As of December 31, 2012 , an adverse change in LIBOR of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on the Term Loan by approximately $5.7 million , assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, 2012 is outstanding for the entire period.

Foreign currency risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. On account of our international operations, a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2012 , this balance represented approximately 46% of our total cash and cash equivalents. A 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would have decreased our reported cash and cash equivalents by approximately 5%. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada. Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2012 , a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rates would cause a change of approximately $0.5 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

Our international operations expose us to foreign currency fluctuations. Revenues and related expenses generated from subsidiaries, other than those located in the U.S., are generally denominated in the functional currencies of the local countries. These functional currencies include Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and British pounds. The income statements of our international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the foreign currency conversion of these foreign currency denominated transactions into U.S. dollars results in reduced revenues, operating expenses and net income (loss) for our international operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expenses and net income (loss) will increase for our international operations if the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies. We cannot predict the effect foreign exchange fluctuations will have on our results of operations going forward. However, if there is a change in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar, it could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on the evaluation completed by our management, in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated, our management has concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated state tax liabilities in the United States, as a result of our acquisition of EasyLink

Certain EasyLink cloud service offerings may be subject to telecommunications excise, franchise and sales taxes in states where EasyLink may not have collected and remitted such taxes from customers. We believe that the delivery of such cloud services are not “telecommunication services”, and therefore, we believe that such cloud service offerings are not subject to various telecommunication taxes, including telecommunications excise, franchise and sales tax. However, certain state taxing authorities may disagree with this position and may continue to audit our cloud service offerings and may subject us to payments (including interest and penalties) on account of such taxes. In the event that actual results differ from our reserves set up in this regard, we may need to record additional expense that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Regs. Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii)), and the date of the Executive's Separation from Service (the “ Date of Separation from Service ”) shall be the date determined in accordance with Sections 5(b) and (as applicable) 5(c) hereof.

Any separation of the Executive from service with the Corporation (other than a separation from service on account of the death of Executive) shall be communicated by written “ Notice of Separation from Service ” to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14(a) hereof.

(b) Date of Separation from Service . The Date of Separation from Service shall mean: (i) if the Separation from Service occurs due to the Executive's death, the date of the Executive's death; (ii) if the Separation from Service occurs due to a termination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(b), the date on which the Executive receives a Notice of Separation from Service from the Corporation; (iii) if the Separation from Service occurs due to the Executive's voluntary termination without Good Reason, the date specified in the notice given pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof, which shall not be less than ninety (90) days after the Notice of Separation from Service; (iv) if the Separation from Service occurs due to the Executive's termination with Good Reason, the date of his termination in accordance with Section 4(e) hereof; and (v) if the Separation from Service occurs for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Separation from Service is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days, or any alternative time period agreed upon by the parties, after the giving of such notice) set

forth in such Notice of Separation from Service.

(c) Section 409A of the Code . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(b), the determination of whether and when the Date of Separation from Service from the Corporation occurs for the purpose of determining when any amount that is “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code becomes due and payable shall be made in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(h). Solely for purposes of the determination referred to in the preceding sentence, “ Corporation ” shall include all persons with whom the Corporation would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code.

6. Separation Payments

(a) Other than for Cause or for Good Reason

In the event of the Executive's Separation from Service due to termination by the Corporation other than for Cause (including a Separation from Service as a result of Disability but not death) or by the Executive for Good Reason, subject to (in respect of clauses (ii) through (iv)) the Executive's continued compliance with Section 6(h) below, Section 20 below and the Restrictive Covenants Agreement described in Section 10 below, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive the amounts described below at the times specified below, and, except for (x) the Executive's rights of indemnification and insurance provided in Section 9 hereof and (y) any vested benefits under any tax-qualified pension plans of the Corporation, the Corporation shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement:

(i) Accrued Payments . Within thirty (30) days following the Date of Separation from Service, (w) any Base Salary earned by the Executive but not paid through the Date of Separation from Service (reduced by any amounts that the Executive received in connection with benefits paid or payable as a result of Disability, if applicable); (x) any Variable Compensation earned by the Executive for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the Date of Separation from Service has occurred but not yet paid prior to the Date of Separation from Service (except that, with respect to (w) and (x), to the extent that the Executive has previously elected to defer the receipt of such Base Salary or Variable Compensation pursuant to an arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the timing of the payment of such Base Salary or Variable Compensation shall be in accordance with the terms of such arrangement); (y) the Executive's accrued but unused vacation pay through the Date of Separation from Service; and (z) any Business Expenses not reimbursed as of the Date of Separation from Service (the amounts described in (w) through (z), together, the “ Accrued Payments ”);

(ii) Separation Payments. In respect of each month during the 12-month period measured from the day of the Executive's Date of Separation from Service (the “ Severance Period ”), (x) an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Base Salary as in effect for the year in which the Date of Separation from Service occurs shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Corporation's standard payroll practices (reduced by any amounts received by and/or payable to Executive in connection with benefits paid or payable as a result of Disability, if applicable) (the “ Salary Continuation Payments ”); and (y) an amount equal to one-twelfth of

the Target Bonus as in effect for the year in which the Date of Separation from Service occurs shall be paid once a month (together with the Salary Continuation Payments, the “ Separation Payments ”);

(iii) Pro Rata Bonus. At the time that Variable Compensation for the Parent Corporation's fiscal year in which the Date of Separation from Service occurred would otherwise be paid (but in no event later than the 15 ^th day of the third month following the close of such fiscal year), an amount equal to the product of (i) the Target Bonus for such fiscal year that the Executive would have received had the Executive remained employed with the Corporation and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full weeks the Executive was employed with the Corporation in such fiscal year and the denominator of which is fifty-two (the “ Pro Rata Bonus ”); provided that, to the extent that the Executive has previously elected to defer the receipt of such bonus pursuant to an arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the timing of the payment of the Pro Rata Bonus shall be in accordance with the terms of such arrangement; and

(iv) Continued Group Medical Benefits. The Executive's ability to participate in the medical plan of the Corporation shall continue only through the Date of Separation from Service. If the Executive elects to continue his health and dental insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Corporation shall reimburse the Executive for the COBRA premiums for the Executive and his dependents for the number of months corresponding to the Severance Period; provided, however, that if the Executive is eligible to receive comparable medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the COBRA premium reimbursement described herein shall be terminated. The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation of any changes in his medical benefits coverage.

(b) Timing of Separation Payments

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(2)(B) of the Code) on the Date of Separation from Service, no Separation Payments shall be paid until the earlier of (x) the date of the Executive's death or (y) the first business day of the first calendar month that begins after the six-month anniversary of the Date of Separation from Service at which time all Separation Payments which would otherwise have been paid that would otherwise have been paid during such period of delay shall be paid with Interest (as defined below) and the remaining Separation Payments shall be paid in accordance with Section 6(a) above. “ Interest ” shall mean interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code, from the date on which payment would otherwise have been made but for any required delay through the date of payment.

In the event of the Executive's Separation from Service with the Corporation due to termination by the Corporation for Cause or voluntarily by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Corporation shall pay the Executive, within thirty (30) days following the Date of Separation from Service, any Accrued Payments. In the event of the Executive's Separation from Service with the Corporation due to termination voluntarily by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Board, in their sole and absolute discretion, may waive the notice period required by Section 4(d) above, in which case the Executive's employment shall be deemed to terminate immediately, provided the Executive shall still be entitled to compensation due on account of Annual Base Salary and benefits earned up to the last date of the 3 month advance written notice period given by the Executive and any

Variable Compensation earned and prorated during such 3 month notice period. Except as provided in this Section 6(c), and except for the Executive's rights of indemnification and insurance provided in Section 9 hereof and any vested benefits under any tax qualified pension or equity incentive compensation plans of the Corporation, and continuation of health insurance benefits on the terms and to the extent required by statute as may be applicable to the Executive, the Corporation shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Death

In the event of the Executive's Separation from Service with the Corporation as a result of the Executive's death, the Corporation shall pay the Executive's estate within thirty (30) days following the Date of Separation from Service, the Accrued Payments. Except as provided in this Section 6(d), and except for the Executive's rights of indemnification and insurance provided in Section 9 hereof and any vested benefits under any tax qualified pension or equity incentive compensation plans of the Corporation, the Corporation shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Options

Except as expressly stipulated in Section 7 hereof, any options which have not vested as of the Date of Separation from Service shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Date of Separation from Service and neither any period of notice nor any payment in lieu thereof upon Separation from Service hereunder shall be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of vesting of options notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the Parent Corporation and the Executive. In the event of a Separation from Service other than by the Corporation for Cause, the Executive shall have the right to exercise any options which are vested as at the Date of Separation from Service for ninety (90) days following such date at which time such unexercised options will expire. In the event of a Separation from Service by the Corporation for Cause, all options, vested and unvested, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of Date of Separation from Service and neither any period of notice nor any payment in lieu thereof upon Separation from Service hereunder shall be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of vesting of options notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the Corporation and the Executive. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event of Separation from Service due to death of the Executive, the estate of the Executive shall be entitled to exercise any options which have vested as at the date of death of the Executive, at any time during the period which is twelve (12) months following the date of death of the Executive at the end of which period such options will expire.

(f) Long Term Compensation

Except as expressly provided in Section 7 below, in the event of the Executive's Separation from Service for any reason, all outstanding awards granted under any LTIP shall continue to be governed by the terms set forth in such LTIP.

(g) No Further Entitlements

Except as expressly provided in this Section 6 and Section 7 below, in the event of the Executive's Separation from Service for any reason, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any further payments, in lieu of notice or as damages for any reason whatsoever. Except as to any entitlement as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Executive hereby waives any claims the Executive may have against the Corporation or the Parent Corporation for or in respect of termination pay, severance pay, or notice in lieu thereof on account of loss of office or employment.

(h) Release

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the payments and benefits described in Section 6(a) above, other than the Accrued Payments, shall commence being made to the Executive, subject to the condition that Executive has delivered to the Corporation an executed copy of a release substantially in the form attached as Schedule “D” and that such release has become effective, enforceable and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, on the date that is 30 days after the Date of Separation from Service or, to the extent required, on the date specified in Section 6(b) above.

7. Change in Control

(a) Definition

For purposes of this Agreement, a “ Change in Control ” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Corporation on a consolidated basis to any person or group of related persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ” and a “ Group ,” respectively); (ii) the approval by the holders of the outstanding voting power of the Parent Corporation of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Parent Corporation; (iii) any person or Group shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of shares representing more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding voting power of the Parent Corporation and such person or Group actually has the power to vote such shares in any such election; (iv) the replacement of a majority of the Board over a twelve-month period from the directors who constituted the Board at the beginning of such period, and such replacement shall not have been approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Board then still in office who were members of such Board at the beginning of such period; or (v) consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Parent Corporation and/or any entity controlled by the Parent Corporation, or a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Parent Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Parent Corporation or any entity controlled by the Parent Corporation (each, a “ Business Combination ”) unless following such Business Combination the shareholders of the Parent Corporation immediately prior to the Business Combination own at least 50% of the then-outstanding equity securities and of the combined voting power of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such Business Combination, owns the Parent Corporation or substantially all of the Parent Corporation's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of this Agreement, an event or series of events shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control to the extent that the application of the relevant definition of Change in Control would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code.

(ii) all options which have not vested as of the Date of Separation from Service shall vest immediately upon such Date and the Executive shall have the right to exercise all of such options for 90 days following such Date at which time any unexercised options will expire; and

(iii) all outstanding awards granted under any LTIP shall vest 100% and any payments under Section 6.2(b) of the Schedule to the LTIP (Special Provisions Applicable to Eligible Employees Subject to Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code) shall be made as set forth therein except that the Target Bonus (as defined in the LTIP) shall vest 100%;

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(2)(B) of the Code) on the Date of Separation from Service, no Separation Payments shall be paid until the earlier of the date of the Executive's death or the first business day of the first calendar month that begins after the six-month anniversary of the Date of Separation from Service at which time all Separation Payments which would otherwise have been paid that would otherwise have been paid during such period of delay shall be paid with Interest (as defined below) and the remaining Separation Payments shall be paid in accordance with Section 6(a) above. “ Interest ” shall mean interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code, from the date on which payment would otherwise have been made but for any required delay through the date of payment.

(i) If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Corporation or Parent Corporation to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Corporation or Parent Corporation, including without limitation any stock options or other equity award, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “ Payment ”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the “ Excise Tax ”), then the Payments shall be payable either (x) in full or (y) as to the maximum value of such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax and Executive shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (x) or (y) above. The reduction of the amounts payable under this Agreement, if applicable, shall be made as follows:

First, if the Payments include the value of acceleration in the time at which any Payment not subject to Section 409A of the Code is paid, a delay in the time of payment (but not a delay of vesting) of such Payment, provided that such delay shall apply to the aggregate amount of such Payments (and not on a Payment-by-Payment basis) and such aggregate amount shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to satisfy this Section 7(c)(i);

Second, to the extent further reduction is required by this Section 7(c)(i), a reduction in the amount of Payments required to be paid or delivered, provided that the Executive shall be entitled to select among the forms of Payment that shall be reduced; and

Third, to the extent further reduction is required by this Section 7(c)(i), if the Payments include the value of acceleration in the time at which any Payment vests, a cutback in the extent of such accelerated vesting, provided that such cutback shall apply to the aggregate amount of such Payments (and not on a Payment-by-Payment basis) and accelerated vesting of such aggregate amount shall be

cut back only to the extent necessary to satisfy this Section 7(c)(i).

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c)(i) of this Agreement, all determinations required to be made under this Section 7(c), including whether an Excise Tax is payable by Executive and the amount of such Excise Tax and whether and, if so, what reductions are required by Section 7(c)(i), will be made by a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants (the “ Accounting Firm ”) chosen by the Corporation. The Corporation will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Corporation and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the event giving rise to the Payment or the Date of Separation from Service, if applicable, and any other such time or times as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation or Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that an Excise Tax would be payable by Executive, it will perform the calculation set out in Section 7(c)(i). Any determination by the Accounting Firm as to the determination made under Section 7(c)(i) will be binding upon the Corporation, the Parent Corporation and Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish Executive with an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal, state, local income or other tax return. The Corporation, Parent Corporation and Executive will each cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determination contemplated by this Section 7(c)(ii).

(iii) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by Section 7(c)(ii) of this Agreement will be borne by the Corporation and paid as incurred. If such fees and expenses are initially advanced by Executive, the Corporation will reimburse Executive the full amount of such fees and expenses within fifteen (15) business days after receipt from Executive of a statement therefor and reasonable evidence of his payment thereof.

8. No Mitigation

Except as expressly provided herein, the Executive shall not be required to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the amount of any payments to be made by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the termination of the Executive's employment or otherwise. The Corporation's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Corporation may have against the Executive or others.

9. Legal Fees; Indemnification; Liability Insurance

(a) In the event of any contest or dispute between the Corporation and the Executive with respect to this Agreement or the Executive's employment hereunder, each of the parties shall be responsible for its respective legal fees and expenses.

(b) During the Term and for so long as there exists liability thereafter with regard to the Executive's activities during the Term on behalf of the Corporation, the Corporation shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (and in no event in connection with the Executive's gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall at the Corporation's election provide the Executive with legal representation or shall advance to the Executive reasonable attorneys'

fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the Executive to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal that the Executive was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and expenses).

(c) During the Term and for six years thereafter, the Executive shall be entitled to the same directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage that the Corporation or the Parent Corporation provides generally to its other directors and officers, as may be amended from time to time for such directors and officers.

10. Restrictive Covenants

The Executive agrees to execute contemporaneously with his execution of this Agreement the confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement annexed hereto as Schedule “C” (the “ Restrictive Covenants Agreement ”).

11. Injunctive Relief

It is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates in the event that the Executive breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants. In the event that the Executive breaches any such Restrictive Covenant, the Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from violating such Restrictive Covenant (without posting any bond). If the Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce any such Restrictive Covenant, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that the Corporation or any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that the Corporation or any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not prejudice the Corporation's or any of its Affiliates' right to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over, the compensation, profits, monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as a result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants.

12. Arbitration; Forum Selection.

(a) Arbitration

If there is a disagreement or dispute between the parties with respect to this Agreement or the interpretation thereof, such disagreement or dispute will be referred to binding arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator, if Executive and the Corporation agree upon one, otherwise by three arbitrators appointed as hereinafter set out, pursuant to the provisions of the American Arbitration Association's (the “ AAA ”) rules governing commercial arbitration in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as modified herein. A party who wishes to arbitrate shall give written notice of such intention to the other party (a “ Notice of Intention ”). The arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement by agreement of Executive and the Corporation or, in default of agreement within ten (10) Business Days of service of the Notice of Intention, each of Executive and the Corporation shall within five (5) Business Days of the expiry of the aforesaid ten (10) Business Day period, select one arbitrator and notify the other of its selection, with the third arbitrator to be chosen by the first two named arbitrators within five (5) Business Days of the expiry of the aforesaid five (5) Business Day period. If one of the parties does not so notify the other of its selection within the prescribed time, then the arbitrator selected by the other party in accordance with the above procedure shall be the sole arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in Delaware. The procedure to be followed shall be as agreed by the parties or, in default of agreement, determined by the arbitrator(s), provided, however, that depositions or examinations for

discovery will not be allowed but information may be exchanged by other means. The parties will use their best efforts to ensure that the arbitration hearing is conducted no later than sixty (60) days after the arbitrator is, or arbitrators are, selected. The final decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators or any two of the three arbitrators will be furnished to the parties in writing and will constitute a conclusive determination of the issue in question, binding upon the parties, without right of appeal. The fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be in the discretion of the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Forum Selection

The parties hereby agree that all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings and litigation between or among the parties or arising out of the employment relationship between the Executive and the Corporation not subject to the Arbitration provision in Section 12(a) hereof shall be filed, tried and litigated only in a federal or state court located in Delaware. In connection with the foregoing, the parties hereto irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such court and expressly waive any claims or defenses of lack of jurisdiction of or proper venue by such court.

13. Section 409A

(a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (except to the extent exempt as short-term deferrals or otherwise) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If the Executive notifies the Corporation (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that the Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or the Corporation independently makes such determination, the Corporation shall, after consulting with Executive and solely in the event and to the extent the Corporation's outside counsel deems it necessary to avoid any such additional tax or interest, reform such provision to comply with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive and the Corporation of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. In no event shall the Corporation be required to pay Executive any “gross-up” or other payment with respect to any taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code with respect to any benefit paid or promised to Executive hereunder.

(b) It is intended that each installment, if any, of the payments and benefits, if any, provided to the Executive under Section 6 hereof shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Neither the Corporation nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409 of the Code.

(c) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A of the Code. All expenses or other reimbursements paid pursuant herewith that are taxable income to the Executive shall in no event be paid later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such expense or pays such related tax. With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the

Code, the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that, the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code, if applicable, solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive's taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

(d) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the Date of Separation from Service”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Corporation.

14. Miscellaneous

(a) Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and shall be deemed to be given when delivered personally or four days after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or one day after it is sent by a reputable overnight courier service and, in each case, addressed as follows (or if it is sent through any other method agreed upon by the parties):

If to the Executive:

Address on file.

or to such other address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the others.

(b) This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the Executive's employment hereunder, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior understandings or agreements with respect to the Executive's employment, including

without limitation the employment agreement dated as of June 4, 2012 between the Corporation and the Executive.

(c) This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require the performance by any other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision. Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.

(e) The parties hereto hereby represent that they each have the authority to enter into this Agreement, and the Executive hereby represents to the Corporation that the execution of, and performance of duties under, this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of or otherwise violate any other agreement to which the Executive is a party. The Executive hereby further represents to the Corporation that he will not utilize or disclose any confidential information obtained by the Executive in connection with any former employment with respect to his duties and responsibilities hereunder.

(f) This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive.

(g) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to assume this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in the Agreement, “the Corporation” shall mean both the Corporation as defined above and any such successor that assumes this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(h) Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section 14(h), be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by the Corporation shall be implied by the Corporation's forbearance or failure to take action.

(i) The Corporation may withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Corporation may reasonably determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, (it being understood that the Executive shall be responsible for payment of all taxes in respect of the payments and benefits provided herein).

(j) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

(k) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile of a signature shall be deemed to be and have the effect of an original signature.

(l) The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

15. Disclosure

During the Term, the Executive shall promptly disclose to the Board of Directors full information concerning any interest, direct or indirect, of the Executive (as owner, shareholder, partner, lender or other investor, director, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) or any member of his family in any business that is reasonably known to the Executive to purchase or otherwise obtain services or products from, or to sell or otherwise provide services or products to, the Corporation or to any of its suppliers or customers.

16. Return of Materials

All files, forms, brochures, books, materials, written correspondence, memoranda, documents, manuals, computer disks, software products and lists (including lists of customers, suppliers, products and prices) pertaining to the business of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates, and Associates that may come into the possession or control of the Executive shall at all times remain the property of the Corporation or such subsidiary, Affiliate or Associate, as the case may be. The term “ Associate ” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under Rule 14a-1(a) of the General Rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive agrees to deliver promptly to the Corporation all such property of the Corporation in the possession of the Executive or directly or indirectly under the control of the Executive. The Executive agrees not to make for his personal or business use or that of any other party, reproductions or copies of any such property or other property of the Corporation.

17. Resignation of Directorships, etc.

The Executive agrees that after Separation from Service, he will, at the request of the Board, tender his resignation from any position he may hold as an officer or director of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates, and the Executive further covenants and agrees, if so requested by the Board, not to stand for re-election to any office of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates at any time following termination of the Executive's employment hereunder.

18. No Derogation

Nothing herein derogates from any rights the Executive may have under applicable law, except as set out in this section. The parties agree that the rights, entitlements and benefits set out in this Agreement to be paid to the Executive are in full satisfaction of any rights or entitlements the Executive may have as against the subsidiaries, Affiliates and Associates of the Corporation as a result of the termination of his employment with such subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates.

19. Currency

All dollars referenced herein are in US dollars unless expressly provided to the contrary.

20. Non-Disparagement

Each of the parties to this Agreement covenants and agrees not to engage in any pattern of conduct that involves the making or publishing of written or oral statements or remarks (including, without limitation, the repetition or distribution of derogatory rumors, allegations, negative reports or comments) which are disparaging, deleterious or damaging to the integrity, reputation or goodwill of the other party, which for the purposes of the Corporation, includes its subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates or its and their management. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section 20 shall prohibit statements or remarks made in the good faith performance of the Corporation or Executive's obligations under this Agreement or in accordance with applicable law.

21. No Set-Off

The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action of the Executive against the Corporation, whether or not based upon this Agreement, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Corporation of any covenant or agreement of the Executive contained herein.

Equity Ownership Guidelines

EQUITY OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

In a continuing effort to align the interests of the Executives of Open Text Corporation, with the

interest of Open Text's shareholders, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) hereby establishes

the following recommended Open Text Equity Ownership guidelines (the “Guidelines”).

COVERED EXECUTIVES

These Guidelines cover Open Text's Executive Chairman/CSO, CEO/President, all NEO's (Named

Executive Officers), and the Executive Leadership Team (the “Covered Executives”).

OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The Board recommends that the Covered Executives (i) achieve the equity ownership levels

within five (5) years of the date of the establishment of these Guidelines (i.e., by October 1, 2014)

or, for an executive who becomes a Covered Executive after the date of these Guidelines were

adopted, within five (5) years after the date of his/her qualifications as a Covered Executive,

and (ii) hold the number of Open Text shares or share equivalents recommended for so long as

they are Covered Executives.



Executive Title	Required Equity Ownership
Executive Chairman*	4x base salary
CEO/President*	4x base salary
Executive Leadership Team	1x base salary

* The share ownership level for new incumbents to the Executive Chairman and CEO/President roles will be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee at that time.

Covered Executives may achieve these Guidelines through the exercise of stock option awards, purchases under the Open Text Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), through an open market purchase made in compliance with applicable securities laws or through any equity plan(s) Open Text may adopt from time to time providing for the acquisition of Open Text shares. Until the Guideline is met, it is recommended that a Covered Executive retains a portion of any stock option exercise or LTIP award in shares of Open Text stock to contribute to these Guidelines.

For compliance guidance purposes, the shares will be valued at the greater of their book value (i.e., purchase price) or the current market value, whichever is greater. The Compensation Committee of the Board will review the recommended executive ownership guideline achievement levels on an annual basis.

Schedule B

NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

As an employee of Open Text Corporation or any related or affiliated company (the “Company”):

A. I understand and agree that I have a responsibility to protect and avoid the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information of the Company; and

B. I have a responsibility not to solicit or entice away from the Company any customer of the Company or any employee of the Company.

I. Confidential Information . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “confidential information” means all information that is not generally known and which I obtained from the Company, or learn, discover, develop, conceive or create during the term of my employment with the Company, and which relates directly to the business or to assets of the Company. Confidential information includes, but is not limited to: inventions, discoveries, know-how, ideas, computer programs, designs, algorithms, processes and structures, product information, research and development information, lists of clients and other information related thereto, financial data and information, business plans and processes, and any other information of the Company that the Company informs me, or which I should know by virtue of my position or the circumstances in which I learned it, is to be kept confidential. Confidential information also includes information obtained by the Company in confidence from its vendors or its clients. Confidential information may or may not be labeled as “confidential”. If I am unsure as to whether information is “confidential”, I will ask my manager for assistance.

Confidential information does not include any information that has been made generally available to the public. It also does not include any general technical skills or general experience gained by me during my employment with the Company. I understand that the Company has no objection to my using these skills and experience in any new business venture or employment following the cessation of my employment with the Company.

I recognize and acknowledge that in the course of my employment with the Company I may obtain knowledge of confidential and proprietary information of a special and unique nature and value and I may become familiar with trade secrets of the Company relating to the conduct and details of the Company's business. While I am employed by the Company and for a period of three years following the cessation of my employment I agree:

A. to keep confidential and hold in secrecy and not disclose, divulge, publish, reveal or otherwise make known, directly or indirectly, or suffer or permit to be disclosed, divulged, published, revealed or otherwise made known to any person whatsoever, or used (except for the benefit and proper purposes of the Company), and shall faithfully do all in my power to assist the Company in holding in secrecy all of the Company's confidential information as defined above.

B. to keep confidential and hold in secrecy and not disclose, divulge, publish, reveal or otherwise make known, directly or indirectly, or suffer or permit to be disclosed, divulged, published, revealed or otherwise made known to any person whatsoever, or used (except for the benefit and proper purposes of the Company) any and all secrets or confidential information related to the Company's activities or affairs which I now know or which are hereafter disclosed or made known to me or otherwise learned or acquired by me, including information respecting the business affairs, prospects, operations or strategic plans respecting the Company, which knowledge I gain in my capacity as an employee of the Company and which knowledge is not publicly available or disclosed.

II. Agreement Not to Solicit . I agree that while I am an employee of the Company and for six (6) months thereafter that I will:

A. not solicit or entice or attempt to solicit or entice away from the Company any of the employees of the Company to enter into employment or service with any person, business, firm or corporation other than the Company;

B. not solicit or entice or attempt to solicit or entice away from the Company any customer or any other person, firm or corporation dealing with the Company.

III. Return of Documents . Upon the cessation of my employment with the Company for any reason, I agree to return to the Company all records, documents, memoranda, or other papers, copies or recordings, tapes, disks containing software, computer source code listings, routines, file layouts, record layouts, system design information, models, manuals, documentation and notes as are in my possession or control. I acknowledge and agree that all such items are strictly confidential and are the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

IV. General .

A. I further represent and warrant that I have not entered into any Agreement with any previous or present employer which would prevent me from accepting employment with the Company or which would prevent me from lawfully executing this Agreement.

B. I understand that the obligations outlined in this Agreement are the concern and responsibility of all employees of the Company. I agree to report in writing any violations of these policies to my manager or to the Vice-President of Human Resources.

C. All the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable, and if any part of any provision is held illegal, void or invalid under applicable law, such provision may be changed to the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal, valid and binding. If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, void or invalid in its entirety, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired, but will remain binding in accordance with its terms.

D. This Agreement and all the rights and obligations arising herefrom shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and in the courts of the Province of Ontario there shall be exclusive jurisdiction to determine all disputes relating to this Agreement and all the rights and obligations created hereby. I hereby irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of

the Province of Ontario.

E. I acknowledge that my employment with the Company is contingent on my acceptance and my observance of this Agreement, and that such employment is adequate and sufficient consideration to bind me to all of the covenants and agreements made by me under this Agreement.

General Release

1. Release of Claims and Waiver of Rights.

(a) In consideration of any payments and benefits being provided to me under Section 6(a) of the employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated [•], 20[•], as it may have been amended to the date hereof, between me and Open Text Corporation (the “Company”), those payments and benefits being good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by me (the “Payments”), I, [Executive] hereby release, remise and acquit Company, its present and past parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, their successors, assigns, benefit plans and/or committees, and their respective present or past officers, directors, managers, supervisors, employees, shareholders, attorneys, advisors, agents and representatives in their individual and corporate capacity, and their successors and assigns (the “Releasees”), from, and hold them harmless against, any and all claims, obligations, or liabilities (including attorneys, fees and expenses), asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, that I, my heirs, successors or assigns have or might have, which have arisen by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever related to my employment (or termination of my employment) with the Company on or prior to the date on which this General Release is signed.

(b) The terms “claims, obligations, or liabilities” (whether denominated claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages or liabilities) include, but are not limited to, any and all claims under any contract with the Company, claims of age, disability, race, religion, national origin, sex, retaliation, and/or other forms of employment discrimination, breach of express or implied contract, breach of employee handbook, practices or procedures, libel, slander, intentional tort or wrongful dismissal, claims for reinstatement or reemployment, arising under any federal, state, or local common or statutory law; claims for unpaid salary, commission or fringe benefits; or any other statutory claim before any state or federal court, tribunal or administrative agency, arising out of or in any way related to my employment relationship with the Company and its affiliates and the termination of that relationship. I will not file or permit to be filed on my behalf any such claim.

(c) This General Release constitutes, among other things, a waiver of all rights and claims I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. 621, et seq.)

Exhibit 10.3

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the employment agreement between Mark J. Barrenechea and Open Text Corporation dated as of October 30, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”). Defined terms used herein are as defined in the Employment Agreement unless otherwise stated.

The Employment Agreement is hereby amended to include the following new paragraph 2(i):

2(i) Income Taxes and Tax Equalization

With respect to each tax year that is affected by the payment of compensation to Executive by the Corporation or its affiliates (collectively, “Open Text”), the Corporation shall pay Executive additional compensation so that Executive's income after payment of income and social taxes on his employment income from Open Text is not more than US$50,000 less than it would be if Executive had been only a resident of the states in the United States in which he resided during the applicable year, excluding for all purposes of this paragraph 2(i) any income tax obligations arising from the exercise of stock options following termination of the Executive's employment. Open Text employment income means aggregate Base Salary, Variable Compensation, Long Term Compensation in the form of performance share units and restricted share units, stock options, the 2012 Equity Awards, or any other form of employment income contemplated by the Employment Agreement. Income and social taxes means aggregate provincial, state, local and federal income and employment taxes, and the applicable social taxes related thereto, in the United States, including state and local taxes, and Canada.

A tax equalization calculation shall be performed after the completion of Executive's United States and Canadian income tax returns each year to ensure that the amount of tax for which he is personally responsible is computed on the same basis as the income and social tax that Executive would have paid had he remained employed only in the states in the United States in which he resided during the applicable year. Open Text shall provide Executive with tax preparation assistance for so long as he is tax equalized, and all fees and expenses related to the tax advisors of Open Text shall be borne by the Corporation. Executive authorizes Open Text to provide its tax advisors with such information relating to his employment and compensation as is necessary to give effect to this Amendment. Executive shall be entitled to an independent tax consultant to assist in the tax equalization calculation should he wish to retain one, and the Corporation shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable fees and expenses related to the independent tax consultant in an amount not to exceed $25,000 per year.

The payment mechanics to achieve the tax equalization is intended to avoid any obligation on the Executive to pay out of his own funds any tax liability or expense in anticipation of a future reimbursement or other credit of any kind, provided that Open Text shall make all withholdings required by law. Open Text shall either make arrangement for the payment of such additional taxes on your behalf or make a cash payment to Executive to achieve this objective.

Executive shall be responsible for the timely filing of income tax returns in the United States and Canada and for global taxes on his personal income.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and the Corporation have executed this Amendment as of the 24th day of January, 2013.
