 WHEREAS, as of the date

 WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company have required that the Stockholders agree, and the Stockholders have agreed, to enter into this
Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the
parties agree as follows: 
 AGREEMENT 
 1. Agreement to Vote; Standstill; Etc. 
 (a) Agreement to Vote.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, at any meeting of the holders of Company common stock, however called, or
in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company common stock, such 

 
Stockholder shall (x) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of such Stockholder’s Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and respond to any
other request by the Company or Parent for written consent, if any, and (y) to the extent such Stockholder has the ability to do so as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, vote (or cause to be voted) such Stockholder’s Shares
(i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise agreed to
in writing in advance by the Company and Parent, against the following actions (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any Takeover Proposal (other than a Superior Proposal); (B) any other
action involving the Company or its subsidiaries which has the effect of impeding, interfering with, delaying, postponing, or impairing (I) the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger on or prior to the Outside Date or (II) the
Transactions or (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Merger set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled on or prior to the Outside Date. Each
such Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person or entity prior to the termination of this Agreement to vote in any manner inconsistent herewith. Except as set forth in this Section 1, such
Stockholder shall not be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company. 
 (b) Proxies. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares. By entering into this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of
this Section 1(b), each Stockholder hereby grants, or agrees to cause the applicable record holder to grant, a proxy appointing Lawrence P. Tu and Janet B. Wright collectively, but each with full power of substitution, as such
Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to be counted as present, vote, express consent or dissent with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares solely for the purposes set forth in
Section 1(a) as such proxies or their proxies or substitutes shall, in their sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Shares. The proxy granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(b) is, subject to the last
sentence of this Section 1(b), irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, in accordance with Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and is granted in order to secure such Stockholder’s performance under this
Agreement and also in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement; provided, that each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the proxy granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(b)
relates to Existing Shares which are subject to liens, claims, security interests or other charges or encumbrances, arising with respect to the financing agreements secured in part by pledges of shares of Company common stock owned by the
Stockholders, each of which shall be released no later than substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger following consultation with and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Parent. If, subject to the foregoing, any
Stockholder fails for any reason to be counted as present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 1(a) (or anticipatorily breaches such section), then Parent shall have the right to
cause to be present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a). The proxy granted by Stockholder shall be automatically revoked upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms.

 (c) Certain Permitted Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, (i) none of the provisions of this Agreement shall restrict the Executive from taking, or refraining from taking, any action solely in his capacity as director or officer of the Company; (ii) the obligations of the Stockholders
set forth in Section 1(a) (other than clause (ii) of the first sentence thereof) and Section 1(b) shall not apply to any Takeover Proposal other than the Transactions as described in the Merger Agreement, whether or not
such Takeover Proposal is deemed to be a Superior Proposal and (iii) the obligations of the Stockholders set forth herein are subject to the condition that the Merger Agreement not be amended, modified or waived by the parties thereto in any
manner that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the Stockholders, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders with respect to such amendment, modification or waiver. 

(d) Standstill. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the
Termination Date, such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its respective affiliates or representatives acting on behalf of such Stockholder in taking such actions not to, in any manner, directly or indirectly, effect or seek, offer or propose
(whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, or announce any intention to effect, cause, participate in or in any way assist, facilitate or encourage any other person (other than the other Stockholders, Parent or Merger Sub in
connection with the Transactions) to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or rights or options to acquire any securities (or
beneficial ownership thereof) of the Company other than engaging in (i) any disposition or transfer of the Shares by any Stockholder to any other Stockholder, to any member of the Executive’s immediate family (including his current or
former spouse and their respective immediate families), to any entity, trust or foundation controlled by the Executive or for estate planning purposes or, in which case each Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall
attach to such Stockholder’s Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Shares shall pass, (ii) any acquisition or exercise of options or other equity based compensation awarded to
any Stockholder, pursuant to any option or equity based compensation adopted by the Board of Directors, in accordance with their respective terms and subject to applicable securities laws or (iii) actions no later than substantially
contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger to release the liens, claims, security interests or other charges or encumbrances, arising with respect to the financing agreements secured in part by pledges of shares of Company common stock
owned by the Stockholders, following consultation with and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Parent. Each Stockholder shall immediately terminate, and shall cause its respective affiliates and representatives acting on behalf of such Stockholder
to immediately terminate, all discussions or negotiations, if any, that are ongoing as of the date hereof with any person with respect to a Takeover Proposal (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement).

 (e) Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees
to prevent the exercise of, any rights of appraisal and dissenters’ rights relating to the Merger that such Stockholder may directly or indirectly have by virtue of the ownership of any shares of Company common stock.

 (f) Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest
in the Company, Parent, none of the Persons identified in Section 1(b) or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any of the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of
and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholders, and neither the Company, Parent, the Persons identified in Section 1(b) nor or any other Person shall have any authority to direct the Stockholders in the
voting or disposition of any of the Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 (g) Encumbered Shares.
Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain, as the case may be, the (i) right to vote, or
cause to be voted, such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a) and (ii) right to grant or have granted, or to cause the applicable record holder to grant or have granted, the proxy granted
pursuant to Section 1(b) so that the proxy holders thereunder shall have the right to cause to be present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a), which efforts shall
include obtaining confirmation from the financial institutions which entered into the financing agreements secured in part by pledges of shares of Company common stock owned by the Stockholders that such shares of Company common stock would not be
loaned to any third parties or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would preclude any Stockholder from complying with its obligations under Section 1(a) or Section 1(b). 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company and Parent,
as of the date hereof, and at all times during the term of this Agreement, as follows:

Stockholder does not beneficially own or have any right to acquire (whether currently, upon lapse of time, following the satisfaction of any conditions, upon the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing) any Shares or any
securities convertible into Shares (other than pursuant to any option, stock award or similar compensation plan adopted by the Company). Such Stockholder has the voting power, sole power of disposition, sole power to issue

Company common stock owned by the Stockholders, each of each which shall be released no later than substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger following consultation with and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Parent). As

Agreement, effective immediately upon the execution of this Agreement and Quest’s delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Instruction Letter pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof. Parent, Merger Sub and Quest hereby agree that such
termination shall have the same effect as a termination by Quest pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) of the Merger Agreement. 

(b) Quest shall pay as directed by Parent a termination fee of $25,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) and reimburse Parent,
Merger Sub and certain of their affiliates for out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement in the amount of $12,000,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement” and, together with the Termination Fee, the
“Escrow Funds”), and Quest hereby acknowledges that the documentation provided by Parent in support of the Expense Reimbursement is sufficient. On or prior to the date hereof, the Escrow Funds shall have been deposited with the
Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Quest shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an irrevocable instruction letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Instruction Letter”) to distribute the Escrow Funds as directed by Parent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub agree and acknowledge that (i) the deposit by Quest of the Escrow Funds with the Escrow
Agent, (ii) Quest’s delivery of the Instruction Letter to the Escrow Agent, and (iii) Parent having the right to cause the Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, shall constitute full and
final satisfaction of any and all obligations of Quest under Sections 7.1 and 7.3 of the Merger Agreement. 
 (c) Quest shall
take no action, whether directly or indirectly with respect to the Escrow Agent or otherwise, to interfere with, delay or prevent the payment of the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement from the Escrow Funds as directed by Parent in its
sole and absolute discretion. 
 2. Automatic Termination of the Support Agreements. The parties hereto acknowledge that,
upon execution of this Agreement, the Support Agreements shall, without further action, terminate and be of no further force and effect.

employees, agents, financial and legal advisors and other representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them (each, a “Releasing Party”), effective upon payment in full of the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement
hereby fully, finally and forever releases each other party hereto and each of their respective affiliates (including, in the case of Parent and Merger Sub, the Insight Funds, Vector Capital and the Smith Investors), subsidiaries, directors,
officers, 

  
 2 

 
stockholders, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors and other representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them, from any and all liabilities and obligations, claims,

in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any liability or obligation arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
contained in the Merger Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 3 shall impair (i) the survival and full force of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, (ii) Parent’s right to receive immediate payment
of the Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Section 1 hereof, or (iii) any rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event
shall any of the Smith Investors or their successors or assigns be a Releasing Party for purposes of this Section 3. 
 4. Survival of Confidentiality Agreements; Public Disclosures. 
 (a)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of September 19, 2011 between Insight Venture Management, LLC and Quest and the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of
March 16, 2012 between Vector Capital Corporation and Quest (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreements”) shall survive and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. 

(b) Prior to the public disclosure by Quest, in any public filing (including, but not limited to any proxy statement with respect to a
Takeover Proposal) or otherwise, of any information with respect to Parent, Merger Sub, the Insight Funds or Vector Capital, Quest shall provide Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure with respect to references to the
Insight Funds or Vector Capital and shall reasonably consider all such comments. 
 5. Representations and Warranties of
Parent and Merger Sub. Parent and Merger Sub hereby represent to Quest as follows: Each of Parent and Merger Sub has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; this Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized by their respective boards of directors and executed and delivered by each of them, and constitutes a valid binding obligation of each of them, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles; and, except as set forth in
the Amended and Restated Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012, by and among Parent, Merger Sub, the Insight Funds, Vector Capital and the Smith Investors, neither Parent nor Merger Sub have assigned, transferred or conveyed
to any other Person any claim or any portion thereof or interest therein relating to any of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement.

Agreement. 
 7. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to contracts
executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. 
 (b) All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over
a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 7(b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and
shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any
post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. 
 (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 

8. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. It is accordingly agreed that in any proceeding seeking
specific performance each of the parties will waive the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law. 
 9. Miscellaneous.

 (a) The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (b) Each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to take
reasonable actions as any other party may reasonably request to carry out the intent of this Agreement and to take any other actions required under applicable Law to carry out and effectuate the intent of this Agreement.

 (c) This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor to Quest or Parent or Merger Sub.

 (d) This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreements and the Escrow Agreement
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by either party hereto in connection with this Agreement. 

(e) This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed and
delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one of more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 (f) If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible. 
 (g) If any legal action, including, without limitation, an action for arbitration or injunctive relief, is brought relating to this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the breach or alleged breach hereof
or thereof, the prevailing party in any final judgment or arbitration award, or the non-dismissing party in the event of a voluntary dismissal by the party instituting the action, shall be entitled to the full amount of all reasonable legal
expenses, including all court costs, arbitration fees and actual attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in good faith. 
 (h) A
party hereto shall be deemed to have “Knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter, and a particular fact or other matter shall be deemed “known to” a party hereto if any executive officer of such party (a) is actually
aware of such fact or matter, or (b) would be expected to discover or otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter after consultation with its outside legal advisors.
