AND WHEREAS, under theMutual Reliance Review System for Exemptive Relief Applications(the "System"), the Ontario Securities Commission("OSC") is the principal regulator for this Application;

AND WHEREAS the Applicantshave represented to the Decision Makers that:

1. divine was incorporatedin 1999 as a Delaware corporation. divine's business includesproviding expertise in collaboration, interaction and knowledgesolutions that extend enterprise solutions. divine's principalcorporate offices are located in Chicago, Illinois.

2. divine is currently subjectto the informational requirements of the United States SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),is not a "reporting issuer" or its equivalent inany of the Jurisdictions and does not intend to become a reportingissuer or its equivalent in any of the Jurisdictions aftercompletion of the Transaction.

3. divine's authorized capitalconsists of 2,500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock ("divineCommon Shares"), par value U.S.$0.001 per share, 100,000,000shares of Class C common stock, U.S.$0.001 par value per share,and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, U.S.$0.001 par valueper share ("divine Preferred Stock") of which 500,000shares have been designated Series A Junior ParticipatingPreferred Stock. As at March 27, 2002, no shares of divinePreferred Stock and no shares of Class C common stock wereissued and outstanding, and 457,145,645 divine Common Shareswere issued and outstanding. As part of the Transaction, divinewill issue one share of special voting stock (the "SpecialVoting Share") to a trustee (the "Trustee")in accordance with the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement(defined below).

Following the completionof the Transaction and certain other transactions (to be completedbefore or shortly after the Transaction) by divine that aredisclosed in the Circular (defined below), and assuming thatExchangeable Shares are considered to be divine Common Shares,it is expected that the beneficial holders of divine CommonShares resident in Canada will hold less than 10% of the issuedand outstanding divine Common Shares and represent less than10% of the number of holders of divine Common Shares. Thiscalculation is based upon the number of beneficial and registeredDelano Shareholders (as defined below) and registered holdersof divine Common Shares who are residents of Canada and onthe assumption that the consideration to be paid by divineto Delano Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement will consistentirely of Exchangeable Shares.

7. Delano was incorporatedunder the OBCA in 1998. Delano develops and markets customerrelations management software. Delano's head office is locatedin Markham, Ontario.

As of March 12, 2002, 43,429,694 DelanoCommon Shares were issued and outstanding and no Class "A",Class "B" or Class "C" or preferred shareswere issued and outstanding. As part of the Transaction, Delanowill create and issue non-voting exchangeable shares ("ExchangeableShares"), which will be exchangeable for an equal numberof divine Common Shares.

12. As of April 4, 2002, therewere warrants ("Delano Warrants") to acquire 36,723Delano Common Shares issued and outstanding.

13. To the knowledge of Delano,Delano is not in default of any requirements of the Legislation.

14. On March 12, 2002, divineand Delano entered into a business combination agreement (the"Combination Agreement") setting forth the termsof the Transaction.

16. On April 22, 2002 theSuperior Court of Justice (Ontario) (the "Court")granted an interim order in respect of the Arrangement providingfor the calling and holding of the Delano Meeting and certainother procedural matters including providing for approvalof the Arrangement to be made by the affirmative vote of notless than 66 and 2/3% of the votes cast at the Delano Meetingby Delano Shareholders present in person or represented byproxy.

23. Each Exchangeable Sharewill be exchangeable at the option of the holder, at any time,for one divine Common Share and an amount in cash equal tothe declared and unpaid dividends on one Exchangeable Share.

24. The Exchangeable Shares,together with the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement andSupport Agreement described below, will provide holders thereofwith a security of a Canadian issuer having economic and votingrights which are substantially economically equivalent tothose of divine Common Shares.

34. Each holder of an ExchangeableShare (other than divine and its affiliates) on the recorddate for any meeting at which holders of divine Common Sharesare entitled to vote will be entitled to instruct the Trusteeto exercise that number of the votes attached to the SpecialVoting Share represented by the Exchangeable Shares held bysuch holder.

35. Under the Voting and ExchangeTrust Agreement, divine will grant to the Trustee for thebenefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares a right(the "Exchange Right") exercisable upon certaininsolvency events in respect of Delano, to require divineto purchase from a holder of Exchangeable Shares (other thandivine or its affiliates) all or any part of the ExchangeableShares held by that holder.

39. The steps under the Transactionand the attributes of the Exchangeable Shares contained inthe Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Arrangement, the Votingand Exchange Trust Agreement and the Exchangeable Share SupportAgreement involve or may involve a number of trades of securities(collectively, the "Trades").

40. The fundamental investmentdecision to be made by holders of Delano Common Shares ismade at the time of the Arrangement, when such holders votein respect of the Arrangement. As a result of this decision,a holder (other than a dissenting holder) will receive ExchangeableShares or divine Common Shares in exchange for the DelanoCommon Shares held by such holder. The Exchangeable Shares(together with ancillary rights) will provide certain Canadiantax benefits to certain Canadian holders but will otherwisebe substantially the economic and voting equivalent of thedivine Common Shares, and as such all subsequent exchangesof Exchangeable Shares are in furtherance of the holder'sinitial investment decision. As mentioned above, that investmentdecision will be made on the basis of the Delano Circular,which contains prospectus-level disclosure of the businessand affairs of each of divine and Delano and of the particularsof the Transaction and the Arrangement.

41. Following completion ofthe Arrangement, divine will concurrently send to holdersof Exchangeable Shares and divine Common Shares resident inJurisdictions all disclosure material it sends to holdersof divine Common Shares resident in the United States pursuantto the 1934 Act.
