     7. Termination of Executive’s Employment.

          7.1 Termination for Cause or upon Death. Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for Cause.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated due to death arising or occurring, in the reasonable judgment of the Board or its Compensation Committee in the course of performance by Executive of his duties hereunder, the Company shall cause the immediate acceleration of the vesting of all Executive’s outstanding earned-but-unvested Equity Awards (as described in Section 7.2 below).

For purposes of clarity, except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.1, Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Benefits described in Section 7.2 below.

In addition, the Company shall (X) pay a lump sum on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following such termination in an amount equal to (i) his Base Salary for twenty-four (24) months from the Termination Date, plus (ii) one year’s target Bonus pursuant Section 4.3 of this Agreement for the calendar year during which the termination occurs, calculated based on the Bonus that would be paid to Executive if he had not been terminated and if all performance based milestones were achieved at the 100% level by both Company and the Executive, such Bonus to be, solely for the purpose of defining Severance Benefits, not less than $600,000, plus (iii) any unpaid Bonus earned in the year of termination, but not paid as of termination, (Y) cause the immediate acceleration of the vesting of all of Executive’s outstanding earned-but-unvested Equity Awards; and (Z) in the event that Executive timely elects to obtain continued group health insurance coverage for himself and his family under COBRA following termination of employment under this Section 7.2, pay the premiums for such coverage through the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date, or (ii) the first date on which Executive becomes eligible for other group health insurance coverage pursuant to Executive’s subsequent employment (such amounts, accelerated vesting and insurance coverage, together with any amounts to which Executive is entitled pursuant to Sections 5 or 6 hereof as of the Termination Date, shall be referred to herein as the “Severance Benefits”), provided that (A) Executive executes a full general release (which shall contain a cross release of the Company), releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have against Company arising out of or any way related to this Agreement or Executive’s employment or termination of employment with Company and such release has become effective in accordance with its terms prior to

the forty-fifth (45^th) day following such termination, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in another form that is acceptable to Company in its sole discretion, and (B) the Severance Benefits shall be subject to Section 7.7 below. For purposes of this agreement, an “earned-but-unvested Equity Award” means an Equity Award or any portion thereof that remains subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture until both (i) one or more applicable corporate financial or other business performance goals have been satisfied and (ii) Executive’s service with the Company has continued through a specified date, and with respect to such Equity Award the condition specified in clause (i) of this sentence has been satisfied but the condition specified in clause (ii) of this sentence has not been satisfied. All other Company obligations to Executive will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished upon termination of employment.

          7.3 Termination for Good Reason by Executive. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason at any time on five (5) days’ advance written notice to Company given within one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial existence of a condition constituting Good Reason. In the event of termination for Good Reason, Executive will receive the unpaid Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the effective date of termination. In addition, Executive will be entitled to receive the Severance Benefits described in Section 7.2, above, provided that Executive complies with the conditions to receiving the Severance Benefits described in Sections 7.2(A) and 7.2(B) above. All other Company obligations to Executive will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished upon termination of employment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” is defined as the occurrence and continuation of any of the following conditions, provided that Executive has delivered written notice to the Company of such condition within ninety (90) days after its initial existence and the Company has failed to cure such condition within thirty (30) days following such written notice:

               (a) a material, adverse change in Executive’s authority, responsibilities or duties; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a material, adverse change shall be deemed to occur if Executive no longer serves as President and Chief Executive Officer (who shall be the most senior executive) of a publicly-traded company reporting directly to the Board;

               (b) the relocation of Executive’s work place for Company over Executive’s written objection, to a location more than thirty (30) miles from Scottsdale, Arizona;

               (c) a failure to pay, or any material reduction of Executive’s Base Salary or Executive’s Bonus without Executive’s written consent (subject to applicable performance requirements with respect to the actual amount of Bonus earned by Executive); or

               (d) any material breach of this Agreement by Company that is not cured within thirty (30) days of Company’s receipt of written notice from Executive specifying the material breach of this Agreement.

          7.4 Termination upon Disability. Executive’s employment will be terminated upon Disability, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Company within 15 days of such determination. Upon termination for Disability Executive will be entitled to receive the Severance Benefits described in Section 7.2, above, provided that Executive complies with the conditions to receiving the Severance Benefits described in Sections 7.2(A) and 7.2(B) above and provided further that the lump sum amount due under Section 7.2 (X) upon Disability shall be reduced by payments received or receivable under a disability plan sponsored by the Company that covers a substantial number of employees and that was established before Executive became disabled. All other Company obligations to

Executive will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished upon termination of employment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the group long term disability insurance policy maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees. In the absence of such a policy, “Disability” means that, as a result of Executive’s mental or physical illness or injury, Executive is unable to perform (with or without reasonable accommodation in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act) the duties of Executive’s position pursuant to this Agreement for a continuous period of three (3) months.

          7.5 Voluntary Resignation by Executive. Executive may voluntarily resign Executive’s position with Company for any reason, at any time after the Effective Date, on five (5) days’ advance written notice. In the event of Executive’s resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive only the Base Salary up through the end of the five-day notice period, together with any amounts or benefits due upon termination to which Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 5, and for reimbursement of business expenses incurred prior to termination to the extent provided in Section 6. All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished upon termination of employment. For purposes of clarity, except as specifically set forth herein; Executive will not be entitled to receive any Severance Benefits described in Section 7.2 above. The provisions of this Section 7.5 shall not apply to Executive’s resignation for Good Reason.

          7.6 Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events.

               (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the economic present value of all Payments actually made to Executive, determined by the Determination Firm as defined in Section 14.2 below.

               (b) The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to Section 14.1(i) and (ii) above shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be paid for by the Company and shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.

               (c) In the event that the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this Section 14 shall be of no further force or effect.

          7.7 Forfeiture of Severance Benefits. The right of Executive to receive or to retain Severance Benefits pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall be subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the Covenants (as defined in Section 12). In the event that Executive breaches any of the Covenants, the Company shall have the right to (a) terminate any further provision of Severance

Benefits not yet paid or provided, (b) seek reimbursement from Executive for any and all such Severance Benefits previously paid or provided to Executive, (c) recover from Executive all shares of stock of the Company the vesting of which was accelerated by reason of the Severance Benefits (or the proceeds therefrom, reduced by any exercise or purchase price paid to acquire such shares), and (d) immediately cancel all Equity Awards the vesting of which was accelerated by reason of the Severance Benefits.

     8. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Company. If the Board reasonably believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, the Board may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company.

     9. Post-Termination Non-Competition.

          9.1 Consideration For Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive agrees that Executive’s services are special and unique, that Company’s disclosure of confidential, proprietary information and specialized training and knowledge to Executive, and that Executive’s level of compensation and benefits are partly in consideration of and conditioned upon Executive not competing with Company. Executive acknowledges that such consideration is adequate for Executive’s promises contained within this Section 9.

          9.2 Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive understands Company’s need for Executive’s promise not to compete with Company is based on the following: (a) Company has expended, and will continue to expend, substantial time, money and effort in developing its proprietary information; (b) Executive will in the course of Executive’s employment develop, be personally entrusted with and exposed to Company’s proprietary information; (c) both during and after the term of Executive’s employment, Company will be engaged in the highly competitive retail demand chain software industry; (d) Company provides products and services nationally and internationally; and (e) Company will suffer great loss and irreparable harm if Executive were to enter into competition with Company. Therefore, in exchange for the consideration described in Section 9.1 above, Executive agrees that for the period of nine (9) months following the date Executive ceases to render services to Company (the “Covenant Period”), Executive will not either directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, director, officer, manager, consultant, agent or employee: (i) work for a competitor of Company, which is defined to include those entities or persons in the business of developing, marketing, selling and supporting software specifically designed for businesses in the retail and consumer packaged goods markets in any country in which Company does business (the “Restricted Business”) or (ii) make or hold during the Covenant Period any investment in any Restricted Business, whether such investment be by way of loan, purchase of stock or otherwise, provided that there shall be excluded from the foregoing the ownership of not more than 1% of the listed or traded stock of any publicly held corporation. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Company” shall mean and include Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, any successor to the business of Company (by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock or otherwise) and any other corporation or entity of which Executive may serve as a director, officer or employee at the request of Company or any successor of Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Business shall not include a company that develops, markets, sells or supports software that applies to a variety of vertical markets (“Cross Vertical Solutions”) where the company may have customized its Cross Vertical Solutions for the retail and consumer packaged goods markets, but does not have software that is primarily targeted to the retail and consumer packaged goods markets.

          9.3 Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive represents and agrees that the restrictions on competition, as to time, geographic area, and scope of activity, required by this Section 9 are reasonable, do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and business

interests of Company, and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. Executive expressly acknowledges that Company competes on an international basis and that the geographical scope of these limitations is reasonable and necessary for the protection of Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. Executive further agrees that these restrictions allow Executive an adequate number and variety of employment alternatives, based on Executive’s varied skills and abilities. Executive represents that Executive is willing and able to compete in other employment not prohibited by this Agreement.

          9.4 Reformation if Necessary. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the geographic area, duration, or scope of activity of any restriction under this Section 9 and its subsections is unenforceable, the restrictions under this section and its subsections shall not be terminated but shall be reformed and modified to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable. Executive further agrees that the court may reform this Agreement to extend the Covenant Period by an amount of time equal to any period in which Executive is in breach of this covenant.

     10. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive agrees to read, sign and abide by Company’s Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement, which was previously executed by Executive and incorporated herein by reference.

     11. Nonsolicitation.

          11.1 Nonsolicitation of Customers or Prospects. Executive acknowledges that information about Company’s customers is confidential and constitutes trade secrets. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement and the Covenant Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s relationship with any of its customers or customer prospects by soliciting or encouraging others to solicit any of them for the purpose of diverting or taking away business from Company.

          11.2 Nonsolicitation of Company’s Employees. Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement and the Covenant Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s business by soliciting, encouraging, hiring or attempting to hire any of Company’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Company’s employees to discontinue their employment with Company.

     12. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants contained in Sections 9-11 (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall, in addition to the action it is authorized to take pursuant to Section 7.7, be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

     13. Agreement to Mediate and Arbitrate. In the event a dispute arises in connection with this Agreement, the Company and Executive agree to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation, with the mediator to be selected and compensated by the Company. In the event a resolution is not reached through mediation, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and Company agree to arbitrate any controversy, claim or dispute between them arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the employment relationship between Company and Executive and any disputes upon termination of employment, including but not limited to breach of contract, tort, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, demotion, discipline, failure to accommodate, family and medical leave, compensation or benefits claims, constitutional claims; and any claims for violation of any local, state or federal law, statute, regulation or ordinance or common law. Claims for breach of Company’s Employee Innovations

and Proprietary Rights Agreement, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance benefits and Company’s right to obtain injunctive relief pursuant to Section 12 above are excluded. For the purpose of this agreement to arbitrate, references to “Company” include all parent, subsidiary or related entities and their employees, supervisors, officers, directors, agents, pension or benefit plans, pension or benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates and all successors and assigns of any of them, and this Agreement shall apply to them to the extent Executive’s claims arise out of or relate to their actions on behalf of Company.

          13.1 Initiation of Arbitration. Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

          13.2 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona, by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of employment disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could be entered by a judge of the trial court of the State of Arizona, and only such power, and shall follow the law. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

          13.3 Costs of Arbitration. Each party shall bear one half the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitrator.

     14. General Provisions.

          14.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Company. Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement.

          14.2 Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement.

     14.3 Attorneys’ Fees. The Company will reimburse Executive’s legal counsel fees in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement not to exceed $15,000. Any reimbursement of attorney’s fees to which Executive is entitled and which are treated for federal income tax purposes as compensation shall (a) be paid no later than the last day of Executive’s tax year following the tax year in which the expense was incurred, (b) not be affected by any other expenses that are eligible for reimbursement in any tax year and (c) not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In any dispute relating to this Agreement, the losing party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in addition to its own attorneys’ fees

          14.4 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

          14.5 Interpretation; Construction. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms. Furthermore, Executive acknowledges that Executive has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

          14.6 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Arizona. Each party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in Maricopa County, Arizona, if applicable, in any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Notice shall be sent to the addresses set forth below, or such other address as either party may specify in writing.

          14.8 Survival. Sections 8 (“No Conflict of Interest”), 9 (“Post-Termination Non-Competition”), 10 (“Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights”), 11 (“Nonsolicitation”), 12 (“Injunctive Relief’), 13 (“Agreement to Arbitrate”), 14 (“General Provisions”) and 15 (“Entire Agreement”) of this Agreement shall survive Executive’s employment by Company.

          14.9 Application of Section 409A.

               (a) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations which is payable on account of Executive’s separation from service shall paid to Executive before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month after the date of Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

               (b) The Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. However, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, the Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless from and against the payment of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code on compensation paid or provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement described in Section 10 and the Form of Confidential Separation and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral.
