(b) Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company.

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

(a) During the Employment Period, Executive’s base salary will be $800,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary will be subject to increase by the Company as directed 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, modified or eliminated from time to time. Executive shall be entitled to such amount of paid time off 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. To the extent that any reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “Non-qualified Deferred Compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (i) all such expenses, benefits 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 such 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) During each fiscal year of the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to earn an annual bonus in the amount of up to $2,000,000, upon the achievement of annual plan goals. Executive’s annual plan performance targets will be established annually by the Board. In order to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, it is agreed that the bonus (if any) earned under this Section 3(c) shall be paid no later than (but may be paid earlier in accordance with the Company’s usual practices) 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 Effective Date and will terminate 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 below); 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) shall cease upon such termination, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA). Subject to Section 21(e), the Company may offset any amounts the Company owes Executive pursuant to this Section 4 against (i) any obligation for a liquidated sum then due and owing by Executive to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any obligations Executive has to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any promissory note made by Executive in favor of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not the obligations under any such promissory note are then due and owing. 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 by the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to the sum of 18 months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary plus $18,000 (collectively, “Severance”). Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Severance shall be payable in equal monthly installments over an 18-month period immediately following Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined under Code Section 409A) in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll cycle for its senior executives.

(d) If the Employment Period is terminated for any reason other than the circumstances described in Section 4(c), 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.

(e) As a condition to the Company’s obligation to pay Executive Severance, Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “General Release”), such General Release shall have become effective and Executive shall not have revoked or breached the provisions of such release or breached the provisions of Section 7 below.

(f) Executive shall forfeit all rights to Severance (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, any non-forfeitable employee benefits (such as the opportunity to elect COBRA benefits) mandated by law) unless the General Release is signed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation) within sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment. If the General Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in the preceding sentence, then such Severance shall commence upon the sixtieth (60th) 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(f) 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(f), 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.

(g) 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.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement as it relates to Executive, “Cause” means: (i) the conviction of a felony or pleading nolo contendere to a felony charge; (ii) any intentional act of material fraud against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company); (iii) willful

misconduct that is materially injurious to the financial condition of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company); (iv) willful and continued failure to perform material duties as reasonably directed by the Board consistent with this Agreement; (v) willful unauthorized disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential material information of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company), that Executive knew or reasonably should have known could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on any of them; or (vi) a willful act or omission that constitutes a material breach by Executive of this Agreement. Except for actions or circumstances which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board cannot be cured, Executive will have thirty (30) calendar days from Executive’s receipt of notice from the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause within which to cure. Furthermore, the Company and Executive understand and agree that good faith decisions of Executive relating to the conduct of the Company’s business or the Company’s business strategy will not constitute “Cause.”

(i) 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 or (ii) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement, which in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) above, is not cured within 30 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 90 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.

(j) For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means any incapacity due to a physical or mental illness or injury which results in Executive’s inability to perform his duties for a total of 60 days during any 12 month period, as determined by the Board in its good faith judgment and (ii) will be deemed to have occurred on the 60th day of such inability to perform.

(k) 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 Xxxx Industries, Inc. (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 Xxxx Industries, Inc. (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.

(l) 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. During the two year period immediately following the termination of the Employment Period, Executive agrees not to disparage, criticize or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding Parent or its Subsidiaries, their past and present investors, officers or directors.

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 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 during the 12 month period immediately following the termination of the

Employment Period for any reason whatsoever, Executive will not directly or indirectly, for Executive or any other person or entity, (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, customer 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, customer 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) (provided that Executive shall not be considered to have breached his obligations under this clause (3) as a result of any representatives of any of Executive’s successor employers encouraging customers of Parent or its Subsidiaries to do business with any such successor employer so long as Executive has no direct involvement in any such customer solicitation (including without limitation, by disclosing or otherwise misusing any trade secrets or Confidential Information of Parent and 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 company or business (x) with over $250,000,000 in revenue during the immediately preceding 12-month period from the sale of software and associated services which competes directly or indirectly with the businesses of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any technology company controlled by Golden Gate Capital or Xxxx Industries, Inc. or investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital or Xxxx Industries, Inc. or (y) actively developing products to compete directly or indirectly with the businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. 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 or otherwise controlled by Golden Gate Capital or Xxxx Industries, Inc. or investment funds managed by Golden Gate Capital or Xxxx Industries, Inc.

(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 Agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this 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 Board, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may devote a reasonable amount of his time to civic or charitable activities and the management of his personal investments so long as such activities do not substantially interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities for the Company.

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 (including any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement), (ii) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement or non-compete or non-solicitation agreement with any other person or entity; 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.

12. Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, delivered by e-mail or facsimile transmission, or mailed by

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.

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 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.

(NASD), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

10.

12.

As of the date this hereof, I acknowledge and represent that I have not been either directly or indirectly involved in, witnessed or asked or directed to participate in any conduct that could give rise to an allegation that the Company has violated any laws applicable to its businesses or that could otherwise be construed as inappropriate or unethical in any way, even if such conduct is not, or does not appear to be, a violation of any law. I acknowledge and represent that I have been given the opportunity to report such conduct to the Company and to third parties and that I have not made any such report to the Company or to any third parties.
