Dear Kirk:

This letter confirms our discussion at which time you were provided notice that Open Text Corporation (the “Company”, “Open Text”) is terminating your employment effective February 15, 2010 (Termination Date). As of the Termination Date, your service, employment, any pay, variable compensation or commission payments and benefits not expressly extended to you in this letter will end.

Your last day worked will be February 15, 2010. The period from today through the Termination Date inclusive shall serve to be the notice period. Also, to further assist you in finding alternate employment, we are providing the career services of our Employee Assistance Program (detailed below).

In addition to this notice period, the company has prepared the following severance package. Upon acceptance of this package, please sign one copy of this letter and return it to HR Services located in the Waterloo office no later than 5 business days from the date of this letter. Please fax for processing to 1-877-267-3647, mail in the signed original and retain the additional copy for your records.

As per your Employment Agreement dated July 1, 2009, the Company will provide a total severance package of 20 months. This package includes 20 months of severance payments (as detailed below) beyond the notice period until October 15, 2011 (Severance End Date). Severance payments are less all withholding and other employment taxes required by law and other usual deductions and are made via direct deposit on our regular semi-monthly payroll schedule (15th and last day of the month). If this package is accepted, these payments begin immediately following your Termination Date. However, severance payments will not begin until all Company property is returned as outlined in the Return of Company Property Section below.

Total Severance Payments = $583,333.33 CDN

Semi-Monthly Severance Installments = $14,583.33 CDN ($583,333.33 CDN / 40)

In addition to the severance payment above, you will also receive:

You acknowledge that these payments include all notice and severance to which you may be entitled pursuant to the Employment Standards Act or any other Ontario labour laws, which apply.

You further acknowledge that should you resume employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates during the Notice or Severance Period prescribed above, all payments described in this letter will cease and no additional payments will be due.

All accrued, but unused vacation days, including time accrued during the statutory notice period will be paid with the next regularly scheduled payroll following the Termination Date. As per the vacation policy, any negative vacation balance will be deducted from your final pay.

If you have any outstanding expenses, your final expense report must be submitted to the Company for review and approval within five (5) business days of your Termination Date. Approved reimbursement payments shall be made by the Company within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of your final expense report.

Typically, deductions to the ESPP will stop immediately, and all monies contributed in the current season will be refunded to you on your first pay during your notice period. In the event that your Termination Date occurs on or after the last day of the current purchase period, your deductions to the ESPP will continue until shares are purchased. In this circumstance, should you wish to have deductions cease, you must notify HR Services at least 5 business days prior to the last day of the current purchase period.

You may only exercise options that have vested prior to your Termination Date per the plan. Your stock options will continue to vest during the term of your consulting agreement. No options will vest following your Severance End Date (October 15, 2011) If you wish to exercise your stock options, please contact options-espp@opentext.com.

As a participant in the company LTIP plans, you will be eligible for pro-rata payments, if in fact the company reaches all or some of the target objectives as per the plan document. Without knowing the outcome of company performance, we are unable to estimate possible payments at this time. However, if LTIP targets are reached, and a payment is required, it will follow the normal procedure by board approval.

Payments for all LTIP plans will most likely occur in the September time-frame after each of the plan periods close.

All Group Insurance Benefits will terminate as of your Termination Date except for the following:

These benefits will continue until your Severance End Date.

Should you wish to convert your Basic Life, Employee Optional Life and/or Spousal Optional Life and AD&D (if applicable) to a personal plan, please refer to the FAQ document attached for more information.

Your participation in the Company’s RRSP, if applicable, will terminate as of your Termination Date and the Company will continue to match contributions based on the Plan guidelines until this date. If you would like to stop your RRSP prior to your Termination Date, please notify HR Services in writing. Further information regarding your RRSP Options will be mailed to your home address after your final RRSP contribution is made to the carrier.

To assist you in your job search, the Company will provide you with career transitioning services until the Severance End Date through Ceridian’s Employee Assistance Program. You can access this service by calling Ceridian’s toll-free call center at 877-207-8833.

Enclosed you will find a written employment verification letter with your employment details. This letter confirms factual information such as dates employed and position title.
