Mr. A. Laurence Jones

840 Sixth Street

Boulder, CO 80302

Dear Larry:

You are hereby notified that your employment with StarTek, Inc. (the “Company”) was terminated effective as of 5:00 p.m. on June 19, 2011 (the “Separation Date”).  This letter also sets forth the substance of the terms of separation (the “Agreement”) which Company is offering to you to aid in your employment transition.  All terms not defined herein have the same meaning as given in your employment agreement dated January 5, 2007, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”).

1.              SEPARATION.  By executing this Agreement, you hereby resign any and all positions held with the Company or any of its affiliates including, without limitation all offices, committee memberships, and board memberships.  Any failure to execute this Agreement or any revocation of this Agreement by you shall not reinstate your employment with the Company which was terminated as of the date and time set forth above.

2.              ACCRUED SALARY.  On the first regular payroll date following the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings.  No paid time off is accrued and unused or payable.

3.              SEVERANCE PAYMENTS.  If you timely sign, date and return this Agreement on or before July 29, 2011, and do not thereafter revoke this Agreement, the Company will pay you as severance: (i) in satisfaction of Section 10(a)(i) of your employment agreement the equivalent of twenty-four (24) months of your base salary in effect as of the Separation Date, in the form of salary continuation for such twenty-four (24) month period payable on the Company’s regular payroll cycle beginning on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Effective Date of this Agreement as set forth in Section 14, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings (the “Salary Continuation”), (ii) in satisfaction of Section 10(a)(ii) of your employment agreement a lump sum amount of $1,017,000 equal to two times your Annual Bonus Potential, subject to deductions and withholdings (the “Bonus Payment”), payable no sooner than six (6) months and one (1) day after the Separation Date but within ten (10) days of that date and (iii) in satisfaction of Section 10(a)(ii) of your employment agreement a bonus in the amount of $70,966.26 for the year 2011, payable in a lump sum on August 8, 2011 or, if later, within five (5) days of the Effective Date, which bonus has been pro-rated for time and performance as judged by the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board and subject to Deductions. ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Severance Benefits”).

1

4.              HEALTH INSURANCE.  As of the Separation Date, you have, pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(e) of the Employment Agreement, waived coverage for yourself and your dependents under the Company’s group health plan. Therefore, the Company will pay to you an amount equal to that paid by the Company as of the Separation Date for your private health insurance coverage for twenty-four (24) consecutive months after the Separation Date on the Company’s regular payroll cycles or until you become eligible for health coverage through another employer, whichever occurs first.

5.              STOCK OPTIONS.  Pursuant to your stock option grants and the plan governing those grants (the “Plan”), vesting of your stock options ceased on your Separation Date.

6.              OTHER COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS.  You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive any additional pay or salary, incentive compensation, severance, equity interests or options, or benefits after the Separation Date, with the exception of any vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan (e.g., 401(k) account) and/or COBRA.  In particular, but without limitation, you agree that you are not owed any bonus, incentive compensation, or commissions, other than as provided in this Agreement.

7.              EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS.  You agree that, within fifteen (15) days of the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement.  The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

8.              RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY.  By the close of business on a date that is fifteen (15) business days following the Effective Date, you agree to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof, in whole or in part) and other Company property which you have in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, engineering information, test data and materials, financial information, research and development information, sales and marketing information, customer information and databases, contact information, operational and personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, computers, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, PDAs, VPN access keys, servers and excluding your laptop and iPhone), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part).  You agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information within the timeframe referenced above.  If you have used any personally owned computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, you agree to provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or proprietary information from those systems within fifteen (15) business days after

2

the Effective Date; and you agree to provide the Company with written confirmation that the necessary copying and/or deletion is done.  You agree that, after the Effective Date, you will neither use nor possess Company property.  Notwithstanding the language in this Section 8, you may retain certain documents, in hard copy, relating to your employment with Company, provided that (i) you provide a list to the Company of the documents you wish to retain and the Company agrees, as determined in its sole discretion, that you may retain a copy of any such documents; and (ii) the documents do not contain Confidential Information, as such term is defined in the Proprietary Information Agreement.  Your timely compliance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to your receipt of the severance benefits described in paragraph 3 above.

9.              ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS.  You acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your Manager, Executive Personnel or Assistants’ Proprietary Information, Inventions, Non-Competition, and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”) (Exhibit A to your Employment Agreement).  By signing this Letter, (i) you acknowledge your obligations under the Proprietary Information Agreement, including by way of example but not limitation, obligations to return Company property, to keep information confidential, not to compete with the Company, not to disparage the Company and not to solicit employees and clients of the Company, and (ii) you further acknowledge and agree that the consideration paid by the Company to you under your Employment Agreement and under this Agreement is sufficient and valid consideration to support your obligations under such documents.  A copy of the Proprietary Information Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

10.       DISCLOSURE.  You understand that the provisions of this Agreement are required to be disclosed by the Company in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

11.       NON-DISPARAGEMENT.  Both you and the Company agree not to disparage the other party, and the other party’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation, family or personal reputation; provided that both you and the Company shall respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

12.       NO ADMISSIONS.  You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.

13.       RELEASE OF CLAIMS.
