THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 21^st day of October 2010, by and between Infor Global Solutions (Michigan), Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), and Soma Xxxxxxxxxxxx (“Executive”). The Company is an indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Infor Global Solutions Holdings Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment and Prior Agreements.

(a) The Company hereby agrees to continue Executive’s employment with the Company, and Executive hereby agrees to continue his employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement (the “Commencement Date”) and ending as provided in Section 4 hereof.

(b) Any and all prior agreements or understandings between Executive and Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Executive’s employment are hereby terminated in their entirety as of the date hereof and shall be of no further force or effect and neither party thereto shall have any further liabilities or obligations with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 4(f) below, nothing herein shall supersede, terminate or otherwise affect any agreement between Executive and Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Executive’s ownership of any equity securities (including options) of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

2. Position and Duties.

(a) During the Employment Period (as defined below), Executive shall continue to serve as the Senior Vice President, Software Development of the Company. Executive will report to, and be subject to the overall direction and authority of the Executive Vice President responsible for Development or his designee or replacement (the “EVP”) of the Company. Executive shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and authority of a senior executive officer of the Company and such other matters related to the day-to-day management of the Company as may be delegated to Executive by the EVP.

(b) Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company. Executive will perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company to the best of Executive’s abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.

(c) Executive shall perform Executive’s duties hereunder at the Company’s executive offices in Malvern, Pennsylvania or such other location as may be mutually agreed between the Company and Executive (the “Executive’s Place of Business”). Executive agrees to render Executive’s services away from Executive’s office from time to time for reasonable lengths of time and for a reasonable number of trips in the ordinary course of business, as the proper performance of Executive’s duties may require.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiaries” (in either plural or singular form) shall mean any corporation or other entity (including the Company) of which the securities or other ownership interests having the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body are, at the time of determination, owned by Parent, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries.

3. Base Salary, Benefits, Business Expenses, and Bonus.

(a) During the Employment Period, Executive’s base salary will be $250,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”), which salary will be subject to adjustment by the Board in its discretion and will be payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices for all salaried employees and will be subject to customary withholding. In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to participate in all of the Company’s employee benefit programs for which all other executive employees of the Company are generally eligible (excluding any incentive equity compensation, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such programs as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. Executive shall be entitled to such amount of vacation during each year of the Employment Period as is consistent with the Company’s policy for senior executives.

(b) During the Employment Period, the Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing Executive’s duties under this Agreement which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. For purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (i) all expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(c) In addition to the Base Salary, Executive will be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus for each fiscal year of the Company if Executive remains employed by the Company through the end of such fiscal year; the specific bonus targets, amounts and availability of which are in each case subject to the Company’s bonus plan, criteria applicable to other executive management of the Company, and the individual performance of Executive, as established by Board in its discretion. Executive’s target performance bonus for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011 shall be $150,000, subject to the achievement of Executive’s performance targets for such fiscal year and the other conditions set forth herein and in the Company’s bonus plan. The Company’s bonus plan, and the annual target performance bonus for fiscal years following the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011, may be modified at any time in the sole discretion of the Board. Any bonus earned (if any) under this Section 2(c) shall be paid in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the fiscal year to which such bonus relates ended.

4. Term.

(a) The employment period (the “Employment Period”) will commence on the Commencement Date and will terminate immediately upon the first to occur of: (i) the effective date of Executive’s resignation with or without Good Reason (as defined below); (ii) Executive’s death or Disability (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)(3)); or (iii) the Company’s election to terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause (as defined below) or without Cause.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4, Executive shall not be entitled to any salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from Parent or its Subsidiaries after the termination of the Employment Period and all of Executive’s rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder (if any) which would have accrued or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period (other than vested retirement or other non-forfeitable employee benefits accrued on or prior to the termination of the Employment Period or other amounts owing hereunder as of the date of such termination that have not yet been paid, including but not limited to, any earned bonus pursuant to Section 3(c) above) shall cease upon such termination, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA). Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company shall be effective as specified in a written notice to Executive from the Company. The Company may offset any amounts Executive owes to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries against any amounts the Company owes Executive hereunder. The termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason shall be deemed to automatically remove Executive, without any further action, from any and all offices held by Executive with the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any office as a member of the board of directors of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries). Executive agrees to promptly sign and submit notice(s) of resignation or any other documents reasonably requested in order for the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to effect the removal of Executive from any offices held by Executive.

(c) If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or (ii) by Executive with Good Reason, in each case prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to (i) an amount equal to six months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary and (ii) COBRA continuation health coverage for six months following such termination at a cost to Executive of no more than Executive would have paid if Executive were still an employee of the Company, provided that, if at the end of such six month period following such termination, Executive is not then employed in any capacity, whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor, or any other role or position for which Executive receives income or remuneration (individually and collectively, “New Employment”) and Executive certifies to the Company in writing that Executive has not secured, nor is engaging in New Employment, then the Company will pay Executive additional Base Salary and COBRA continuation health coverage for so long as Executive does not engage in New Employment up to an additional six (6) months of Base Salary and COBRA continuation

health coverage (for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Executive receive Base Salary or COBRA continuation health coverage for a period or amount greater than twelve months in the aggregate under the immediately foregoing clauses (i)-(ii)) (collectively, “Pre-COC Severance”). If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or (ii) by Executive with Good Reason, in each case following the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to (x) an amount equal to (1) one year of Executive’s then-current Base Salary, plus (2) an amount equal to the pro rata portion of Executive’s target performance bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, based upon the target performance bonus established for Executive for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs and the number of days Executive was employed by the Company during such fiscal year (i.e., the amount of such bonus shall be equal to the product of (A) 100% of Executive’s target performance bonus for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Executive has been employed by the Company in such fiscal year and the denominator of which is 365), plus (3) the arithmetic mean of the annual, performance-based bonuses paid to Executive by the Company over the three fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which such termination occurs (in each case, excluding from such arithmetic mean calculation any amounts paid to Executive in excess of 100% of the applicable target performance bonus for the applicable year), and (y) COBRA continuation health coverage for one year following such termination at a cost to Executive of no more than Executive would have paid if Executive were still an employee of the Company (collectively, “Post-COC Severance”). Any Pre-COC Severance shall be payable over a six-month period and Post-COC Severance shall be payable over a one-year period (as applicable, the “Scheduled Payout Period”) in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll cycle as in effect on the date of termination, but in no event less frequently than monthly. If the Employment Period is terminated for any reason other than the circumstances described in the first two sentences of this Section 4(c) that give rise to a Pre-COC Severance or Post-COC Severance obligation of the Company, Executive will be entitled only to receive his Base Salary and other non-forfeitable, vested employee benefits accrued but not yet paid through the date of such termination.

(d) As a condition to the Company’s ongoing obligation to pay Executive Pre-COC Severance or Post-COC Severance, Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, such general release shall have become effective and Executive shall not have been revoked or breached the provisions of such release or breached the provisions of Section 7 below.

(e) Executive shall forfeit all rights to Pre-COC Severance or Post-COC Severance (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, any non-forfeitable employee benefits (such as the opportunity to purchase COBRA benefits) mandated by law) unless such release is signed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation) within ninety (90) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment. If the foregoing release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in the preceding sentence, then such Pre-COC Severance or Post-COC Severance shall commence upon the ninetieth (90) day following Executive’s termination of employment. The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that otherwise would have been paid prior thereto had such payments commenced immediately upon Executive’s termination of employment, and any payments made thereafter shall continue as provided herein. The delayed benefits shall in any event expire at the time such benefits would have expired had such benefits commenced immediately following Executive’s

termination of employment. The Company may provide, in its sole discretion, that Executive may continue to participate in any benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 4(e) during the period of such delay; provided that Executive shall bear the full cost of such benefits during such delay period. Upon the date such benefits would otherwise commence pursuant to this Section 4(d), the Company may reimburse Executive the Company’s share of the cost of such benefits, to the extent that such costs would otherwise have been paid by the Company or to the extent that such benefits would otherwise have been provided by the Company at no cost to Executive, in each case had such benefits commenced immediately upon Executive’s termination of employment. Any remaining benefits shall be reimbursed or provided by the Company in accordance with the schedule and procedures specified herein.

(f) Upon a Change of Control (as defined below), so long as Executive was employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries on the day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any other agreement between Executive and Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, all unvested equity securities (including restricted stock, options and any other rights to acquire securities) of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries then held by Executive and/or his permitted transferees shall immediately become classified as vested.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement as it relates to Executive, “Cause” means (i) the commission of a felony or any act of fraud or any act or omission involving dishonesty, or material disloyalty with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective customers, suppliers or other material business relations, (ii) conduct tending to bring Parent or any of its Subsidiaries into substantial public disgrace or disrepute, (iii) failure to perform material duties as reasonably directed by the EVP or the Board of Directors of Parent or the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any other material breach by Executive of this Agreement; provided, however, that Cause shall not exist for actions or conduct under clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 4(g) unless such actions or conduct continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt by Executive of written notice of the need to cure or cease, if such actions or conduct are capable of cure.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement as it relates to Executive, “Good Reason” means (i) a material reduction of Executive’s duties and responsibilities or Base Salary; (ii) a relocation of Executive’s principal workplace to a location outside of the metropolitan area of Executive’s Place of Business; (iii) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement, which in the case of clauses (i) – (iii) above, is not cured within 15 days after delivery of written notice thereof by Executive to the Company; provided that written notice of Executive’s resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within 30 days after the date Executive first knew or should reasonably have known of the occurrence of any such event in order for Executive’s resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means (i) any sale or transfer by Parent or its Subsidiaries of all or substantially all (as defined in the Revised Model Business Corporation Act) of their assets on a consolidated basis, (ii) any consolidation, merger or reorganization of Parent with or into any other entity or entities as a result of which any person or group of affiliated persons other than investment funds managed by Golden Gate

Capital (or entities controlled by such funds) obtains possession of voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the surviving corporation’s board of directors, or (iii) any sale or transfer to any third party of shares of the Company’s share capital by the holders thereof as a result of which any person or group of affiliated persons other than investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital (or entities controlled by such funds) obtains possession of the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of Parent’s board of directors.

(j) In the event of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive will take all necessary and reasonable actions to effect a smooth transition of Executive’s duties to such person or persons as may be designated by the Board or its designee.

5. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the information, observations and data (including, without limitation, trade secrets, know-how, research and product plans, customer lists, software, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, specifications, marketing and advertising materials, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales and profit figures and other technical and business information) concerning the business or affairs of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries obtained by Executive while employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or while serving as an officer or director of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) are the property of Parent or such Subsidiary. Therefore, during the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, Executive agrees that Executive will not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for Executive’s own purposes, except in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters are or become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions to act. Executive will deliver to the Company at the termination of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined Section 6 below) or the business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which Executive may then possess or have under Executive’s control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive is permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the extent required to provide truthful testimony before a court or other governmental authority or to the extent required to respond to a properly issued subpoena of Executive (individually and collectively, “Compelled Disclosure”); provided that Executive provides such prior written notice to the Company of such Compelled Disclosure to allow the Company to either contest such intended Compelled Disclosure and/or seek an appropriate protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

6. Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Executive while employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (“Work Product”) belong to Parent or such Subsidiary. Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

7. Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.

(a) In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive hereunder (including, in particular, the increases in Executive’s base salary and target bonus opportunity being implemented concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which each of the undersigned acknowledge and agree provide sufficient good and valuable consideration for the non-compete and non-solicitation covenants set forth in this Section 7) and any equity compensation to be made available to Executive pursuant to Parent’s incentive equity plans, Executive acknowledges that in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company Executive has become, and will continue to become, familiar with Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries and that Executive’s services are and will continue to be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its Subsidiaries. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and until the later of (i) the date that is one year after the termination of the Employment Period for any reason and (ii) the last day of the Scheduled Payout Period (as defined in Section 4(c) above) (the “Noncompete Period”), Executive will not directly or indirectly, for Executive or any other person, (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to leave the employ of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any employee thereof, on the other, (2) hire any person who is (or in the case of a former employee, was an employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries at any time during the 180 day period prior to any attempted hiring by Executive) an employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (3) induce or attempt to induce any supplier, licensee, licensor or other material business relation of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to cease doing business with Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such supplier, licensee, licensor or material business relation and Parent or such Subsidiary of Parent, as the case may be (including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications about Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) or (4) Participate in any Competitive Business. “Participate” includes any direct or indirect ownership interest in any enterprise or participation in the management of such enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, executive, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, owner or otherwise; provided that the foregoing activities shall not preclude Executive from the passive ownership (i.e., Executive does not directly or indirectly participate in the business or management of the applicable entity) of less than 2% of the stock of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange. “Competitive Business” means any business in the world that is, as of the date of the termination of the Employment Period, a direct competitor of Parent or its Subsidiaries or of any technology company controlled by Golden Gate Capital or investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital. Executive agrees that the aforementioned covenant contained in this Section 7(a) is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7(a), the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any activity conducted by Executive following the Employment Period for any business affiliated with Golden Gate Capital or investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital.

(b) If, at the time of enforcement of Sections 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this letter agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this letter agreement, Parent, the Company or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event a court determines that Executive breached or violated this Section 7, the periods of such restrictive covenants will be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

8. Additional Acknowledgments. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 5, 6 and 7 do not preclude Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executive’s ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to Parent and its Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of Sections 5, 6 and 7 outweighs any harm to Executive of their enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that Executive has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area.

9. Other Businesses. As long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive agrees that Executive will not, except with the express written consent of the EVP, become engaged in, render services for, or permit Executive’s name to be used in connection with any business other than the business of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates.

10. Executive’s Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (ii) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity (other than any agreement or arrangement between Executive and any business affiliated with Golden Gate Capital or investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital); and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Executive, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that he has consulted with (or has had an opportunity to consult with) independent legal counsel regarding Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that Executive fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

11. Survival. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period for any reason.

21. Section 409A Compliance.

(a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

(b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”

(c) Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then each of the following shall apply:

(i) With regard to any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment shall be made on the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (B) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 21(c)(i) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein; and

(ii) To the extent that any benefits to be provided during the Delay Period is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A provided on account of a “separation from service,” and such benefits are not otherwise exempt from Code Section 409A, Executive shall pay the cost of such benefits during the Delay Period, and the Company shall reimburse Executive, to the extent that such costs would otherwise have been paid by the Company or to the extent that such benefits would otherwise have been provided by the Company at no cost to Executive, the Company’s share of the cost of such benefits upon expiration of the Delay Period, and any remaining benefits shall be reimbursed or provided by the Company in accordance with the procedures specified herein.

(d) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of my Employment Agreement and any indemnity agreements entered into by and among me and/or the Company and any of its affiliates, in each case, which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees

incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”); provided that nothing herein shall release any Claims arising out of or relating to my capacity as a current or former equityholder of the Company or any of its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates (it being agreed and acknowledged that any rights I may have as a current or former equityholder of the Company or any of its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements and/or arrangements pursuant to which such equity securities were issued).

3.	I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of the type described in paragraph 2 as of the execution of this General Release.

6.	I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I also agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and return all payments received by me pursuant to the Agreement.

I agree that this General Release is confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.

Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

10.

I agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory, or judicial proceeding. I understand and agree that my cooperation may include, but not be limited to, making myself available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations; appearing at the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process; volunteering to the Company pertinent information; and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into my possession all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with my other permitted activities and commitments. I understand that in the event the Company asks for my cooperation in accordance with this provision, the Company will reimburse me solely for reasonable travel expenses, including lodging and meals, upon my submission of receipts.

11.

I agree not to disparage the Company, its past and present investors, officers, directors or employees or its affiliates and to keep all confidential and proprietary information about the past or present business affairs of the Company and its affiliates confidential unless a prior written release from the Company is obtained. I further agree that as of the date hereof, I have returned to the Company any and all property, tangible or intangible, relating to its business, which I possessed or had control over at any time (including, but not limited to, company-provided credit cards, building or office access cards, keys, computer equipment, manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base and other data) and that I shall not retain any copies, compilations, extracts, excerpts, summaries or other notes of any such manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base or other data.

12.	Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

13.

Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
