2. DUTIES AND PERFORMANCE.

(a) During the Term, Employee shall be employed by, if any, Edgewater Delaware on a full-time basis as Executive Vice President—Chief Technology Officer of Edgewater Delaware, as well as being employed on a full- time basis as the Executive Vice President—Chief Technology Officer of the Company and shall have such authority and shall perform such duties consistent with his position as may be reasonably assigned to him by, and shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall use all reasonable efforts to further the interests of Edgewater Delaware, the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall devote substantially all of his business time and attentions to his duties hereunder; provided, however, that Employee shall not be prohibited from making investments of a passive nature (other than investment in more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of companies engaged in competition with Edgewater Delaware) and devoting time to non-business related ventures, such as real estate investments, so long as such activities do not prevent or materially interfere with Employee’s performance of his obligations hereunder.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the 1996 Plan Grants and the 2000 Plan Grant shall remain in full force and effect unaltered and unaffected hereby. In addition, in any stock option grant and/or restricted stock award under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan and/or any other stock based compensation plan of the Company as of or after the date of this Agreement during the Term, the definition of Cause in this Agreement shall be the definition used in any such stock option grant and/or restricted stock award. As to: (a) any stock options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan and/or any other stock based incentive plan of the Company existing as of or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, during the Term or during Employee’s employment with the Company and Edgewater Delaware, if subsequent to the Term; and/or (b) any restricted stock awards issued under any stock based incentive compensation plan existing as of or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, during the Term or during Employee’s employment with the Company and Edgewater, if subsequent to the Term, among other terms, provisions and conditions in such grants and/or awards, in each of (a) and (b), the shares underlying each such stock option grant, if any, and/or restricted stock award, if any, shall vest and: (i) as to stock option grants become immediately exercisable by Employee for the period specified in such grant; and (ii) as to restricted stock awards become shares of Employee not subject to any redemption option, in the event of: (x) termination of Employee’s employment by the Company and Edgewater Delaware for any reason, other than those referenced in Section 5(a)(i) – (iii); or (y) termination by Employee for Good Reason only. The parties to this Agreement further acknowledge that the 1996 Plan Grants and the 2000 Plan Grant will be amended and restated immediately following the date of this Agreement to reflect, among other things, the applicable terms, provisions and conditions of this Section 3.2.

3.3 Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus for each Compensation Year of up to 120% of Employee’s annual base salary, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the incentive compensation plan for each such Compensation Year as approved and adopted by the Committee.

4. BENEFITS.

During the Term, Employee shall be entitled annually to five (5) weeks vacation and shall be entitled to any accrued, but unused vacation prior to the date of this Agreement. During the Term, the Company shall pay for the lease, insurance and maintenance expenses

with respect to a car leased by Employee (or a comparable car) consistent with such benefit as has been provided to Employee by the Company and/or Edgewater Delaware immediately prior to the date hereof. Employee shall be entitled, if eligible, to participate in any insurance, stock purchase, or other benefit plan of the Company or Edgewater Delaware now existing or hereafter adopted as offered to other employees of the Company and/or Edgewater Delaware similarly situated. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Company and/or Edgewater Delaware to establish or continue any particular benefit plan in discharge of its obligation under this Agreement. The Company or Edgewater Delaware, as applicable, will provide Employee with prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred in the performance of Employee’s duties pursuant to this Agreement subject to Employee’s provision of receipts for such expenses, to the Company or Edgewater Delaware, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the Employee Termination, except for employee’s continued compliance with the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions of Section 7, which shall apply for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Employee Termination: (i) neither the Company, Edgewater Delaware, their Subsidiaries nor their successors or assigns (whether by operation of law or otherwise) shall have any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies (whether at law or in equity) against Employee with respect to or arising out of this Agreement and/or the Employee Termination generally; and (ii) Employee shall not have any obligations, duties, liabilities or responsibilities to the Company, Edgewater Delaware, their Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns (whether by operation of law or otherwise) with respect to or arising out of the termination of this Agreement or the Employee Termination generally, except for duties Employee would have in his capacity as a director of the Company, if still a director of the Company following the Employee Termination.

(b) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any person, other than the Company or an employee benefit plan of the Company, acquires, directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership of any voting security of the Company and immediately after such acquisition such person is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of voting securities representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company; (ii) the individuals (A) who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (the “Original Directors”) or (B) who thereafter are elected to the Board and whose election, or nomination for election, to the Board was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original Directors then still in office (such directors becoming “Additional Original Directors” immediately following their election) or (C) who are elected to the Board and whose election, or nomination for election to the Board was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original Directors and Additional Original Directors then still in office (such directors also becoming “Additional Original Directors” immediately following their election), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board; (iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of the Company, a reverse stock split of outstanding voting securities, or consummation of any such transaction if stockholder approval is not sought or obtained, other than any such transaction which would result in at least 75% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by at least 75% of the holders of outstanding voting

securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction, with the voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in the transaction; (iv) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (other than cash) (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets (other than cash) of the Company); or (v) the sale by the Company to a third party or third parties of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Edgewater Delaware, fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of Edgewater Delaware or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination of Edgewater Delaware with a third party or third parties, where the Company directly or indirectly owns less than fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Edgewater Delaware immediately following any such business combination transaction.

(c) (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or Edgewater Delaware to or for the benefit of Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement that are determined to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as “Agreement Payments”) shall not be paid or distributed in the amounts or at the times otherwise required by this Agreement, but shall instead be paid or distributed annually, beginning as of the effective date of the termination of Employee’s employment and thereafter on each anniversary thereof, in the maximum substantially equal amounts and over the minimum number of years that are determined to be required to reduce the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments to an amount that will not cause any Payment to be non-deductible under section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this Section 6, present value shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

(ii) All determinations to be made under this Section 6 (c) shall be made by the Company’s independent public accountant immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accounting Firm”), which firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company, Edgewater Delaware and Employee within 10 days of the effective date of the termination of Employee’s employment. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company, Edgewater Delaware and Employee.

(iii) Within two years after the effective date of the termination of Employee’s employment, the Accounting Firm shall review the determination made by it pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) above. If at that time, as a result of the uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, the annual amounts of Agreement Payments or the period over which Agreement Payments are paid or distributed, as determined pursuant to clause (i), above, are determined not to satisfy the requirements of clause (i), then the annual amount of future Agreement

Payments and/or the period over which future Agreement Payments are paid or distributed shall be redetermined to satisfy the requirements of clause (i), and all future Agreement Payments shall be paid or distributed in accordance with such redetermination.

(iv) All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the determinations referred to in Section 6(c)(ii) and (iii) above shall be borne solely by the Company or Edgewater Delaware. The Company or Edgewater Delaware agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Accounting Firm of and from any and all claims, damages and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to Section 6 (c)(ii) and (iii) above, except for claims, damages or expenses resulting from the negligence or misconduct of the Accounting Firm.
