Dear Holly:

I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Human Resources at Deltek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). I am very excited about the Company’s future and equally excited at the prospect of your joining our team. The following are the terms and conditions of your offer.

If your employment is terminated before a Change in Control either by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, then the Company shall continue to pay you your then current base salary as of the date of termination for six months thereafter. In addition, upon any termination that entitles you to the foregoing severance benefits, the Company will also continue your coverage under the Company’s medical benefit plan for twelve months at the active-employee premium rate.

If your employment is terminated on the date of or within two years following a Change in Control either by the Company or its successor without Cause or by you for Good Reason, then the Company shall: (1) continue to pay you your then current base salary as of the date of termination for twelve months thereafter, (2) pay you a pro rata portion of your bonus for the period in which you are terminated (as computed under the Company’s or its successor’s bonus programs in effect immediately prior to the termination), if any, which bonus shall be determined based on the actual results of the Company for the applicable bonus period, and your pro rata share of any such bonus shall be based upon the percentage of the applicable bonus period that you were employed by the

Company, and (3) continue your coverage under the Company’s medical benefit plan for twelve months at the active-employee premium rate.

The continuation of base salary will be paid in substantially equal installments over the applicable severance period in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices with respect to active employees but not less frequently than monthly. The payment of a pro rata portion of your bonus (if any) will be paid in a lump sum at such time as bonuses are generally paid to executives during the period in which you are terminated. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), would cause the imposition of an excise tax on the salary continuation severance payment or bonus award severance payment if paid as aforesaid, then (i) payment of the installments of the salary continuation severance payment will commence upon the earliest date that complies with Section 409A without the imposition of the excise tax, and the first such installment will include all portions of the salary continuation severance payment that would have been paid but for the application of Section 409A to the salary continuation severance payment, and (ii) the bonus award severance payment will be paid upon the earliest date that complies with Section 409A without the imposition of the excise tax. The Company’s obligations to make any payments and (if applicable) continue the medical coverage as set forth in this section 7 is conditioned upon: (x) your continued compliance with your obligations under the Noncompetition Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex B, and (y) your execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable general release of claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C.

For purposes of this letter, “Cause” and “Good Reason” will have the meanings set forth on Annex B hereto.

If the foregoing terms and conditions are consistent with your understanding, please sign this letter below and return a copy to me. Holly, I am confident that you will be a valuable addition to our team, and I look forward to working with you.

“Good Reason” shall mean (A) (x) a material reduction, without your written consent, of the nature and scope of the authorities, powers, functions or duties assigned to you or (y) any reduction, without your written consent, of your compensation (including, without limitation, your annual base salary or target annual bonus opportunity) (provided, however, that, neither a change in your reporting responsibilities nor the termination of any responsibilities you may have relating to the management and operation of a public company shall constitute Good Reason), (B) the Company’s requiring you, without your prior written consent, to change the office location at which you are based which results in your having a commute to such location from your residence in excess of 75 miles or in excess of 120% (in miles) of your commute immediately prior to the date of such change of location, whichever is greater, or (C) the Company’s breach of any material terms of your employment or this letter, and, in the case of clause (A) or (C), such reduction or breach is not cured within 30 days after written notice by you to the Company identifying such reduction or breach. In order to constitute termination for Good Reason, you must terminate your employment within 60 days after the basis for such termination becomes known to you (or, in the case of clause (A) or (C), within 30 days after the Company has failed to cure such reduction or breach).
