Mr. Klaus Besier

Dear Klaus:

I am pleased to offer you the position of President of Neoware, Inc. (the
“Company”), responsible for worldwide Sales, Marketing, Operations, Engineering,
HR and Administration, beginning on July 12, 2006.

In your capacity as President, you will be responsible for the overall
operational success of the Company on a world wide basis. As President, you will
report to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). In this position, your place of
employment will be the Philadelphia area during your tenure with the Company.

The base salary for your position is $12,500 payable every two weeks, and you
will be eligible for 28 days of PTO annually, as described in the Neoware
employee manual.

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible for an executive bonus of
up to 50% of your annual base salary based upon the Company meeting its
quarterly and annual revenue and profitability goals, as well as your individual
performance, as determined by the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option
Committee (the “Committee”) upon the recommendation of the CEO. The annual
executive bonus percentage can be increased or decreased at the option of the
Committee should you or the Company significantly exceed or fail to achieve
these goals. Goals will include the delivery of a minimum percentageof pro-forma
operating income calculated as a percentage of revenues (GAAP operating income
plus stock option expense and plus amortization of acquisition-related
intangibles) each quarter, including the effect of bonus accruals included in
operating expenses. Other goals will be added and these goals may be adjusted
from time to time at the discretion of the Committee upon the recommendation of
the CEO.To be eligible for this bonus you must be employed by the Company on the
date the bonus is paid. The description of the terms of your bonus is subject to
the terms of the Company’s Senior Officer Bonus Plan, a copy of which is
attached hereto.

In connection with your employment, the Company intends to grant to you options
to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company as detailed in your
Award Agreement. These ten-year options will consist of a combination of ISO and
non-qualified options vesting over four years, with twenty-five percent of the
options vesting on each of the first four anniversaries subsequent to your start
date.

You understand that this letter is not an employment agreement, and that you are
an employee at will. This means that your employment can be terminated with or
without cause, and with or without notice, at any time, at the option of either
the Company or you, except as otherwise provided by law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the event of a “Change in Control,” should you not be offered a comparable
position by the Company or the acquirer, or if you do not accept, in your sole
discretion, employment in any other capacity offered by the acquirer, or the
Company, the Company will agree to: 1) continue to pay your base salary for a
period of one yearfrom the date of termination; 2) pay you an amount equal to
the average of the annual bonus that you earned over the prior three years; 3)
pay for the Company’s portion of your health care costs under COBRA for one
year; and 4) vest and accelerate exercisability of any outstanding stock options
granted to you. In the event that you are offered a comparable position
following a Change in Control, or you accept, in your sole discretion,
employment in any other capacity offered by the acquirer of the Company, the
Company will vest and accelerate exercisability of your outstanding stock
options one (1) year after the Change in Control, provided you are still working
for the Company or the acquirer at that time. The mechanics of such vesting will
be determined based on the structure of the Change in Control transaction. For
the purposes of this offer letter, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning
set forth in Section 2.4 of the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

In the event that your employment is terminated by the Company during or upon
the completion of the first year of your employment for reasons other than
“cause,” you will agree to resign from the Board of Directors and will receive
severance payments equal to your regular base salary for a period of six (6)
months (payable in the same manner as your base salary) and any options that
would have vested upon the completion of your initial year of employment will be
immediately vested and become exercisable on the last day of your employment.
For purposes of this offer letter, “cause” shall mean any act or omission
included within the definition of “misconduct” as set forth in the Company’s
2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

In connection with this offer of employment, you agree to sign the Company’s
standard non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreement at the time of your
acceptance of this offer, which is attached.

I look forward to you joining Neoware and to your contributions to the Company’s
success. Please feel free to contact with any questions.

  Very truly yours,       /s/ Michael Kantrowitz   Michael Kantrowitz   Chairman
and CEO   Neoware, Inc.
