AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT by and between Art Technology Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx (the “Executive”) is made as of April
14, 2008 (the “Effective Date”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into a letter agreement of employment dated
December 4, 2002, which was amended by a letter agreement dated March 28, 2003 (together, the
“Initial Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive amended and restated the Executive’s Initial Agreement
as of November 8, 2004 (the “Prior Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly-held corporations, the
possibility of a change in control of the Company exists and that such possibility, and the
uncertainty and questions which it may raise among key personnel, may result in the departure or
distraction of key personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate
steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued employment and dedication of the
Company’s key personnel without distraction from the possibility of a change in control of the
Company and related events and circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Executive’s employment
agreement to include, among other provisions, certain additional change in control protections for
the Executive.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive remaining in the Company’s employ and other
good consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by both parties, the
Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1. Key Definitions.
As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
1.1 “Change in Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or more of
subsections (a) through (d) below (including an event or occurrence that constitutes a Change in
Control under one of such subsections but is specifically exempted from another such subsection):
(a) the acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”)
of beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such acquisition, such Person
beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) 50% or more
of either (i) the then-outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined
voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); or
(b) such time as the Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not constitute a majority of
the Board (or, if applicable, the Board of Directors of a successor corporation to the Company),
where the term “Continuing Director” means at any date a member of the Board (i) who was a member
of the Board on the date of the execution of this Agreement or (ii) who was nominated or elected
subsequent to such date by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at
the time of such nomination or election or whose election to the Board was recommended or endorsed
by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such
nomination or election; or
(c) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or statutory
share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company in one or a series of transactions (a “Business Combination”), unless,
immediately following such Business Combination, each of the following two conditions is satisfied:
(i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to
such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of Outstanding
Company Common Stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring
corporation in such Business Combination (which shall include, without limitation, a corporation
which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets
either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is
referred to herein as the “Acquiring Corporation”) in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock
and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively; and (ii) no Person (excluding the
Acquiring Corporation or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by
the Company or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more
of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring Corporation, or of the combined
voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in
the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business
Combination); or
(d) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution
of the Company.
1.2 “Change in Control Date” means the first date during the Employment Term (as defined in
Section 3 of the Agreement) on which a Change in Control occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, if (a) a Change in Control occurs, (b) the Executive’s employment with
the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and (c) it is
reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request
of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii)
otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a
-2-
Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change in Control Date” shall
mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
1.3 “Cause” means:
(a) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his reasonable
assigned duties as an officer of the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or any failure after the Executive gives notice of termination
for Good Reason), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial
performance is received by the Executive from the Board which specifically identifies the manner in
which the Board believes the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; or
(b) the Executive’s commission of a felony (other than through vicarious liability or
involving vehicular offense) which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or a
crime involving fraud or embezzlement against the Company.
For purposes of this Section 1.3, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be
considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable
belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.
1.4 “Good Reason” means the occurrence, without the Executive’s written consent, of any of the
events or circumstances set forth in clauses (a) through (j) below.
(a) a change in the Executive’s titles of President and Chief Executive Officer or the
assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive’s
positions (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority or
responsibilities, or any other action or omission by the Company which results in a material
diminution in such positions, authority or responsibilities;
(b) a reduction in any aspect of the Executive’s compensation as then may be in effect;
(c) the failure by the Company to (i) continue in effect any material compensation or benefit
plan or program consistent with those afforded to other senior executives of the Company (including
without limitation any life insurance, medical, health and accident or disability plan and any
vacation or automobile program or policy) in which the Executive participates or which is
applicable to the Executive, (ii) continue the Executive’s participation therein (or in such
substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the
amount of benefits provided and the level of the Executive’s participation relative to other
participants, than the basis existing immediately prior to the change, or (iii) award cash bonuses
to the Executive in amounts and in a manner substantially consistent with past practice in light of
the Company’s financial performance;
(d) any alteration in the Company’s 1996 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan in any manner
that may exert an adverse impact on the Executive for the grant of restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units or options to purchase shares of common stock of
-3-
the Company (the “Common Stock”) granted to the Executive (the “Stock Awards”) as of the
date of this Agreement;
(e) a change by the Company in the location at which the Executive performs his principal
duties for the Company to a new location that is both (i) outside a radius of 35 miles from the
Executive’s principal residence immediately prior to that change and (ii) more than 20 miles from
the location at which the Executive performed his principal duties for the Company immediately
prior to the change;
(f) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company;
(g) a requirement by the Company that the Executive travel on Company business to a
substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to a Change in Control;
(h) the failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the Company to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as required by Section 7.1;
(i) if, as a result of a Change of Control, the Company no longer has a publicly traded class
of equity securities and/or is no longer subject to reporting requirements under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; or
(j) any failure of the Company to pay or provide to the Executive any portion of the
Executive’s compensation or benefits due under any Company employee benefit plan within seven days
of the date such compensation or benefits are due.
For purposes of this Agreement, any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by the
Executive shall be conclusive, binding and final. The Executive’s right to terminate his employment
for Good Reason shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
1.5 “Disability” means the Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of the
Executive’s duties with the Company for 180 consecutive calendar days as a result of incapacity due
to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected
by the Company or its insurers.
2. Position and Duties. The Executive will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. The Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance
of the Executive’s duties consistent with the Executive’s position within the Company and as
reasonably assigned to the Executive by the Board. During the Employment Term, the Executive will
serve as a member of the Board.
3. Employment Term. This Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder,
shall take effect upon the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until the Date of
Termination (as defined below) (the “Employment Term”). The Executive or the Company may terminate
Executive’s employment at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the severance obligations
described in Section 5.2 of the Agreement, except that the Company or Executive
-4-
shall communicate such termination by a written notice to the other party hereto (the “Notice
of Termination”), given in accordance with Section 8 of the Agreement. Any Notice of Termination
shall: (a) indicate the specific termination provision (if any) of this Agreement relied upon by
the party giving such notice; (b) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment
under the provision so indicated; and (c) specify the Date of Termination. The effective date of an
employment termination (the “Date of Termination”) shall be the close of business on the date
specified in the Notice of Termination (which date may not be less than 15 days or more than 120
days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Termination), in the case of a termination other
than one due to the Executive’s death, or the date of the Executive’s death, as the case may be. In
the event the Company fails to satisfy the requirements of this Section 3 regarding a Notice of
Termination, the purported termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to such Notice of
Termination shall not be effective for purposes of this Agreement. The failure by the Executive or
the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to
a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting any
such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
4. Compensation.
4.1 Base Salary. The Company will pay the Executive as compensation for the Executive’s
services hereunder a base salary at the annualized rate of $400,000 (less customary deductions)
through December 31, 2008, such amount to be reviewed annually during the Employment Term by the
Compensation Committee of the Board and approved by the Board upon the recommendation of the
Compensation Committee (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices.
4.2 Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year of the Company (“Fiscal Year”) during the Employment
Term, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual target bonus that will be no less than
the higher of $300,000 or 50% of the Executive’s then current Base Salary (less customary
deductions) (the “Annual Bonus”). The establishment of the plan that outlines the Executive’s
Annual Bonus (the “Bonus Plan”) and the evaluation of the Executive’s performance under the Bonus
Plan will be approved by the Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
4.3 Equity Compensation. Each year during the Employment Term, the Board, upon recommendation
from the Compensation Committee, shall determine the extent to which the Executive will be granted
additional Stock Awards by the Company from time to time.
4.4 Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive will be entitled to
participate in the employee benefit plans currently and/or hereafter maintained by the Company that
are generally applicable to other senior executives of the Company. Examples of such benefits might
include life, disability, medical, dental and other insurance, as well as a 401(k) plan, tax
benefit and planning services, retirement, cell phone and computer services and the like. For each
calendar year during the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to 20 days paid vacation in
accordance with Company’s standard vacation policy.
-5-
5. Additional Benefits.
5.1 Stock Acceleration. If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Employment Term, then,
effective upon the Change in Control Date, each outstanding Stock Award will be deemed to be fully
vested and will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company. This Section 5.1
shall supercede any provision of the Stock Award agreements to the contrary, including, but not
limited to, the second paragraph of Section 1(e) of each of the agreements granting an option to
purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Option Agreements”).
5.2 Severance Prior to Change in Control. When the Employment Term is terminated, the

(ii) for 12 months after the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to pay to the

(iii) for 12 months after the Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by

within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the Accrued Obligations, and (ii) timely pay or
provide to the Executive the Other Benefits.

and (e) above.
5.4 Taxes.
(a) In the event that the Company undergoes a “Change in Ownership or Control” (as defined
below), the Company shall, within 30 days after each date on which the Executive becomes entitled
to receive (whether or not then due) a Contingent Compensation Payment (as defined below) relating
to such Change in Ownership or Control, determine and notify the Executive (with reasonable detail
regarding the basis for its determinations) (i) which of the payments or benefits due to the
Executive (under this Agreement or otherwise) following such Change in Ownership or Control
constitute Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the amount, if any, of the excise tax (the
“Excise Tax”) payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, by the Executive with respect to such
Contingent Compensation Payment and (iii) the amount of the Gross-Up Payment (as defined below) due
to the Executive with respect to such Contingent Compensation Payment. Within 90 days after the due
date of each Contingent Compensation Payment to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the
Executive, in cash, the Gross-Up Payment with respect to such Contingent Compensation Payment.
(b) For purposes of this Section 5.4, the following terms shall have the following respective
meanings:
(i) “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control
of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined
in accordance with Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.
(ii) “Contingent Compensation Payment” shall mean any payment (or benefit) in the nature of
compensation that is made or made available (under this Agreement or otherwise) to a “disqualified
individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) and that is contingent (within the meaning
of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) on a Change in Ownership or Control of the Company.
(iii) “Gross-Up Payment” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the Excise
Tax payable with respect to a Contingent Compensation Payment and (ii) the amount necessary to pay

the receipt of the Gross-Up Payment shall be computed assuming the application of the maximum tax
rates provided by law.
-8-
(c) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are intended to apply to any and all payments or
benefits available to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or plan of the
Company under which the Executive receives Contingent Compensation Payments.

Agreements.
5.5 Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or
benefits provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise. Further, except
as provided in Section 5.2(a), the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in this Section 5
shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by
another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the
Executive to the Company or otherwise.
6. Section 409A. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that any benefit
payable under this Agreement upon termination of the Executive’s employment is “deferred
compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code: (i) payment of such benefit shall only be made
in the event that the termination of employment constitutes a “Separation from Service” as defined
below; and (ii) if required by Section 409A, payment of such benefit shall be made 6 months and 1
day after the date of Separation from Service. For purposes of this Section, Separation from
Service shall mean any termination of employment with the Company and any affiliate of the Company
pursuant to which the aggregate level of services provided by the Executive to the Company and any
such affiliate of the Company (whether as an employee or consultant) is permanently reduced to a
level of services that is 49% or less than the level of services provided in the immediately
preceding 12 months. To the extent that payment of any benefit that is required to be delayed
under the provisions of this Section was to have been paid over a period of time, the following
provisions shall apply. All amounts originally scheduled to have been paid during the 6 month and
1 day delay period shall be accrued and, at the conclusion of such delay period, shall be paid in a
single lump sum on the date that is 6 months and 1 day after the Separation from Service. At the
end of such delay period, the originally-scheduled, regular periodic payments shall be paid.
7. Restrictive Covenants; Non-Competition. The Executive agrees that, for a period of 18
months after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason
whatsoever, the Executive will not own, manage, operate, advise, consult or otherwise render
services to, or be employed by, or be connected with, any business that directly competes with the
Company, including but not limited to, those businesses identified in the Company’s annual report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
8. Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration. All claims by the Executive for benefits under this
Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by
the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in
writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this
Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a
review of the decision denying a claim. Any disputes shall be resolved by final
-9-
and binding arbitration to be conducted in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area pursuant to
American Arbitration Association’s rules for the resolution of employment disputes.
9. Successors.
9.1 Successor to Company. The Company shall require any person or entity that purchases all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such purchase

have been delivered five business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent via a reputable nationwide

it is intended.
11. Miscellaneous.

to be employed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect.
