| Re: | Employment Terms |
Dear Xxxx:
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions regarding your continued employment with Voyager
Expanded Learning, Inc. (the “Company”) and is a clarifying amendment and restatement of your
employment terms letter dated March 3, 2009. Capitalized terms used in this letter and not
otherwise defined herein are defined in Exhibit A.
| 1. | Salary |
During your employment with the Company, you will be paid a base salary (“Base Salary”) of
$9,615 bi-weekly ($250,000 if annualized), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices
of the Company.
| 2. | Bonus |
You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s then current annual bonus plan, in
accordance with the terms of such plan.
| 3. | Benefits |
During your employment with the Company, you will be entitled to participate in the employee
retirement and welfare benefit plans and programs set forth in Exhibit C, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such programs as in effect from time to time.
| 4. | LTIP Awards |
You shall be entitled to cash LTIP awards equal to (i) $100,000 which shall be due November
14, 2009, and (ii) $45,000 which shall be due on November 14, 2010. If you leave the Company
voluntarily without Good Reason, payments scheduled after your termination date will not be due.
In the event of an involuntary termination without Cause, any unpaid amounts would become
immediately payable. Payments will also accelerate and be due upon a Change of Control of the
Company or your termination for Good Reason.
| 5. | Severance Protection |
Subject to Section 6 below, you will be entitled to the following severance benefits under
this Section 5 if the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you resign for Good
Reason at any time:
(a) Salary continuation in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your then current Base
Salary for twelve months and (ii) an amount equal to any accrued but unused vacation days,
with such payments commencing on the earliest payroll date that does not result in adverse
tax consequences to you under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).
(b) Subject to your continued co-payment of premiums, continued participation for twelve
months in all medical, dental and vision plans which cover you (and eligible dependents)
upon the same terms and conditions (except for the requirements of your continued
employment) in effect for active employees of the Company. If you obtain other employment
that offers substantially similar or improved benefits, as to any particular medical, dental
or vision plan, such continuation of coverage by the Company for such similar or improved
benefit under such plan under this Section 5(b) will immediately cease. The continuation of
health benefits under this subparagraph shall reduce and count against your rights under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended.
| 6. | Conditions to Receiving Severance Benefits |
Any severance benefits payable under this Agreement shall be in lieu of any other severance
benefits that you may have otherwise been eligible to receive from the Company or its affiliates
under the Company Separation Benefits Plan or otherwise. If you terminate employment in a manner
entitling you to severance benefits under either Section 5 above and your death occurs before full
payment of such severance benefits, any amount remaining to be paid shall be paid to your surviving
spouse, or, if none, to your estate. You must sign a release agreement in substantially the same
form as attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement to receive the severance benefits. The severance
benefits under this Agreement will commence as soon as reasonably practicable after the termination
of the revocation period provided in the release agreement. You shall not be required to seek
other employment to mitigate damages, and any income earned by you from other employment or
self-employment shall not be offset against any obligations of the Company to you under this
Agreement.
| 7. | Change in Control of the Company Bonus |
In the event a Change in Control of the Company occurs on or before December 31, 2009, you
shall be entitled to receive a change in control bonus equal to $200,000 (the “CIC Bonus”).
Payment of the CIC bonus is expressly contingent on you being employed by the Company or one of its
successors, or their affiliates, on March 1, 2010. In the event you voluntarily terminate your
employment or are terminated for Cause prior to March 1, 2010, you shall not be entitled to receive
the CIC Bonus. In the event you are terminated without Cause or
2
you terminate for Good Reason prior to March 1, 2010, the CIC Bonus shall be paid to you on
March 1, 2010.
| 8. | Successors and Assigns |
This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor or assign of the Company, including any
entity that (whether directly or indirectly, by purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation,
acquisition of property or stock, liquidation or otherwise) is the survivor of the Company or that
acquires the Company and/or substantially all the assets of the Company in accordance with the
operation of law, and such successor entity shall be deemed to be “the Company” for purposes of
this Agreement (except for purposes of determining whether there has been a Change of Control of
the Company). This Section will continue to apply in the event of any subsequent merger or
consolidation or transfer of assets.
| 9. | Company Right to Recover Payments Under This Agreement |
You hereby agree that, if it is ever determined by the Company that any action or inaction by
you constituted grounds for termination for Cause, then the Company may recover all of any award or
payment made to you pursuant to this Agreement, and you agree to repay and return any such award or
payment to the Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, affect any such recovery by (i)
obtaining repayment directly from you; (ii) setting off the amount owed to it against any amount or
award that would otherwise be payable by the Company to you, or (iii) any combination of (i) and
(ii) above.
| 10. | At Will Employment |
This Agreement does not change the at-will nature of your employment relationship with the
Company.
| 11. | Withholding |
The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state,
local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.
| 12. | Section 409A |
The payments pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or, comply with, the
requirements of 409A and this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and operated accordingly to
the fullest extent possible; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement in no event shall the Company be liable to you for or with respect to any taxes,
penalties or interest which may be imposed upon you pursuant to Section 409A. In accordance with
the preceding sentence, the date on which a “separation from service” pursuant to Section 409A
(“Separation from Service”) occurs shall be treated as the termination of employment date for
purposes of determining the timing of payments under this Agreement to the extent necessary to have
such payments under this Agreement be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A or comply with
the requirements of Section 409A. If you are a “Specified Employee” pursuant to Section 409A on
the date of your Separation from Service, to
3
the extent that any payments pursuant to this Agreement constitute “deferral of compensation”
subject to Section 409A (after taking into account to the maximum extent possible any applicable
exemptions) (a “409A Payment”) treated as payable upon Separation from Service, then to the extent
required for you not to incur additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A, no such 409A Payment shall
be made before the earlier of (i) 6 months after your Separation from Service; or (ii) the date of
your death. Should the preceding sentence result in payments to you at a later time than otherwise
would have been made under this letter, on the first day any such payments may be made without
incurring additional tax pursuant to Section 409A (“409A Payment Date”), the Company shall make
such payments provided that any amounts that would have been paid earlier but for the application
of this Section 12 shall be paid in a lump sum on the 409A Payment Date. For purposes of Section
409A, each payment installment shall be treated as a separate payment. To the extent required for
payments under this Agreement to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A (with the
intention to comply with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(d) with the treatment of the 38th day after
termination of employment as the designated payment date), payments shall be made no sooner than
the 8th day after termination of employment nor later than the 38th day after termination of
employment based on when the release required by Section 6 is executed and becomes non-revocable
and if such 30-day period spans two calendar years, payment shall be made in the later calendar
year. The parties agree to cooperate to minimize the impact of Section 409A without materially
changing the economic value of this Agreement to either party.
| 13. | Indemnification |
The Company shall indemnify you to the same extent that its officers, directors and employees
are entitled to indemnification as of the date hereof pursuant to the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws for any acts or omissions by reason of being a director, officer or
employee of the Company.
| 14. | Cooperation |
You agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its affiliates during your employment
and thereafter in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial
investigation or proceeding or any dispute with a third party as reasonably requested by the
Company (including, without limitation, your being available to the Company upon reasonable notice
and at reasonable times for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s
request upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times to give testimony without requiring service
of a subpoena or other legal process, delivering to the Company requested information and relevant
documents which are or may come into your possession, all at times and on schedules that are
reasonably consistent with your other permitted activities and commitments). The obligations under
this Section shall survive expiration of your employment with the Company. If your cooperation
under this Section is requested after your termination of employment, the Company shall (i) provide
you reasonable advance notice after giving due consideration to your then current employment
obligations, and (ii) reimburse you for all reasonable travel expenses and other reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses upon submission of receipts.

| 15. | Entire Agreement: Modification |
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the
matters set forth herein and supersedes any other discussions, agreements, representations or
warranties of any kind with regard to these matters. You acknowledge that this Agreement
supercedes any and all agreements or arrangement between you and the Company including without
limitation, your offer letter agreement with the Company dated November 9, 2006, your employment
terms letter dated July 24, 2007, your LTIP letter dated November 14, 2007 and your employment
terms letter dated March 3, 2009. Any modification of this Agreement will only be effective if
done in writing and signed by you and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. If for any
reason any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, that invalidity will not affect the
remainder of this Agreement.
| 16. | Non-Compete Agreement |
By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that (a) the Employee Confidentiality and
Restrictive Covenant Agreement dated November 13, 2006, between you and the Company (the
“Non-Compete Agreement”) remains a valid and binding agreement and (b) the Non-Compete Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of the Company.
| 17. | Survival of Terms |
The provisions of Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16 and the other provisions of this
Agreement which by their terms contemplate survival of the termination of this Agreement, shall
survive expiration of this Agreement and/or your employment with the Company and be deemed to be
independent covenants.
| 18. | Acknowledgment |
You acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to fully discuss and review the terms of this
Agreement with an attorney of your own choosing. You further acknowledge that you have carefully
read this Agreement, understand its contents and freely and voluntarily assent to all of its terms
and conditions, and sign your name of your own free act.

We hope that these adjustments to your compensation reinforce the degree to which you are valued by
the Company. Please review this Agreement carefully and, if it correctly states our agreement,
sign and return to me the enclosed copy.

competent jurisdiction and should the provision be incapable of being modified to be enforceable,

General Release in full force and effect. Nothing herein, however, shall operate to void or
nullify any general release language contained in the Agreement and General Release.
9. Nonadmission of Wrongdoing. Employee agrees neither this Agreement and General
Release nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Release shall be deemed or construed at
any time for any purpose as an admission by Employer of any liability or unlawful conduct of any

changed except upon express written consent of both parties wherein specific reference is made to
