<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On September 13, 2004,
Accelrys, Inc. signed a definitive agreement to merge a wholly owned subsidiary
of Accelrys with and into Scitegic, Inc.&#160;
Following the consummation of the merger, Scitegic will become a wholly
owned subsidiary of Accelrys.&#160; Scitegic
shareholders will receive for their shares (i) cash consideration in an
aggregate amount of $12,250,000, subject to working capital adjustment and
certain other adjustments and (ii) share consideration in an aggregate amount
of 1,040,119 shares of Accelrys common stock.&#160;
In addition, Scitegic shareholders will receive additional share
consideration in an aggregate amount of up to 334,324 shares of Accelrys common
stock which will be distributed to Scitegic shareholders over the two-year
period commencing on the date of closing, subject to the continued employment
of two of Scitegic's key employees in accordance with the terms of their
employment agreements with Accelrys.&#160; Up
to approximately $3.1 million of the cash consideration, subject to certain
adjustments, will be held in escrow as security for certain indemnification
obligations to Accelrys under the merger agreement.&#160; The acquisition is expected to close in
September 2004 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including
approval by the shareholders of Scitegic.</font></p>

forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Parent shall withhold from the
cash otherwise payable to each holder of Company Common Stock (other than
Dissenting Shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time cash in an amount
equal to such holder&#146;s Pro Rata Share of the Closing Escrow Cash Amount.&#160; For purposes of the foregoing, each such
holder&#146;s &#147;<u>Pro Rata Share</u>&#148; shall be a fraction whose numerator is the
aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, and
whose denominator is the Total Outstanding Shares.&#160; Promptly following the Closing Date, Parent
shall cause the cash to be deposited with the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent
shall hold such cash in the Closing Escrow Fund as security for the
indemnification obligations under <u>Article&nbsp;9</u>.&#160; All interest earned on the Closing Escrow
Fund shall be included by Parent as taxable income or loss of Parent and the
Escrow Agreement shall provide for the Escrow Agent to make quarterly
distributions to the Parent equal to four percent (4%) of the taxable income
recognized in such quarter to satisfy any Tax obligations that arise as a
result of such interest being attributed to Parent. Any income and gains of the
Closing Escrow Fund shall be available to Parent as part of the Closing Escrow
Fund, but if not paid to Parent in connection with the indemnification
obligations owed to any Parent Indemnified Party, or paid to Parent to cover
Taxes, shall ultimately be distributable to the Shareholders in accordance with
this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.</p>

take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such
charges and/or fees and provide such estimate to Parent in the Signing Balance
