     2. Transaction Success Fee.

          (a) Amount of Transaction Success Fee. Subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 2(b) below, USA shall pay to Executive an amount (the
"Transaction Success Fee") in the event a Change of Control occurs on or before
December 31, 2005 as follows:

               (i) If the Per Share Price received by the PRGS shareholders in
connection with the Change of Control is equal to or less than $7.00 per share,
the amount of the Transaction Success Fee shall be equal to $150,000.00.

               (ii) If the Per Share Price received by the PRGS shareholders in
connection with the Change of Control is $7.01 or more, but equal to or less
than $11.00, the amount of the Transaction Success Fee shall be calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

          (1)  Per Share Price minus $7.00 = Increase Dollar Amount;

          (2)  Increase Dollar Amount divided by $4.00 = Increase Percentage
               Amount;

          (3)  Increase Percentage Amount plus 50% = Aggregate Increase
               Percentage;

          (4)  Multiply Aggregate Increase Percentage by $300,000.00

For example, if the Per Share Price is $9.00, the Increase Dollar Amount will
equal $2.00, the Increase Percentage Amount will equal 50% (or .50) and the
Aggregate Increase Percentage will equal 100% (or 1). Accordingly, in such case,
the Transaction Success Fee would be $300,000.00.

               (iii) If the Per Share Price received by the PRGS shareholders in
connection with the Change of Control is $11.01 or greater, the amount of the
Transaction Success Fee shall be equal to $450,000.00.

     If any written agreement with any "other executive" as defined in the Good
Reason definition in Section 1 hereof, similar to this Agreement, is amended to
reduce to a lower number the $7 amount in Section 2(a) of such agreement, then
the $7 in this Section 2(a) shall be automatically reduced to such lower dollar
amount. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar adjustment
in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of PRGS, then the base
prices of $7.00 to $11.00 that are set forth above and that are used to
determine the amount of the Transaction Success Fee shall be equitably adjusted
to reflect such split, dividend, or similar adjustment and the base numbers of
$7.00 and $4.00 set forth in (ii)(1)-(2) above shall also be equitably adjusted.

          (b) Conditions. In order for Executive to be eligible to receive the
Transaction Success Fee, the Change of Control must occur on or before December
31, 2005, and one of the following conditions must be met:

               (i) Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date of
a Change of Control, but Executive is not offered a job after the Change of
Control with USA or its successor or affiliates, or Executive is offered
employment after the Change of Control, but


                                      -4-

<PAGE>

the terms of such employment are such that Executive would be entitled to resign
from employment for Good Reason; or

               (ii) Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date
of a Change of Control and Executive remains employed by USA or its successor or
affiliates during the period beginning with the Change of Control and continuing
through the date that the Transaction Success Fee (or portion thereof) is earned
and due for payment in accordance with Section 2(c)(i) and (ii) below; or

               (iii) Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date
of a Change of Control and Executive remains employed by USA or its successor or
affiliates after the date of the Change of Control, but Executive voluntarily
terminates such employment for Good Reason during the 12-month period following
the Change of Control; or

               (iv) Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date
of a Change of Control and Executive remains employed by USA or its successor or
affiliates after the date of the Change of Control, but such employment is
terminated by USA (or its successor or an affiliate) without Cause during the
12-month period following the Change of Control; or

               (v) Executive's employment with USA or its affiliates is
terminated prior to the date of a Change of Control without Cause or for Good
Reason, either in contemplation of a Change of Control or at the insistence of
the prospective purchaser of PRGS; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Executive shall have no right to
receive any portion of a Transaction Success Fee, until the actual occurrence of
a Change of Control that occurs on or before December 31, 2005, and in the event
a Change of Control does not occur on or before December 31, 2005, Executive
shall have no right to receive a Transaction Success Fee.

          (c) Payment Terms. The Transaction Success Fee shall be due and
payable as follows:

               (i) If Executive is employed by USA or its successor or
affiliates on the six-month anniversary of the Change of Control, one-third of
the Transaction Success Fee shall be due and payable by USA to Executive within
30 days after such six-month anniversary.

               (ii) If Executive is employed by USA or its successor or
affiliates on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control, two-thirds of
the Transaction Success Fee shall be due and payable by USA to Executive within
30 days after such one-year anniversary.

               (iii) Upon the occurrence of the events described in Section
2(b)(i) through (iv) above, the entire Transaction Success Fee (less any amounts
previously paid hereunder) shall be due and payable in a lump sum within 30 days
after the occurrence of such event.


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

               (iv) Upon the occurrence of the event described in Section
2(b)(v) above, the entire Transaction Success Fee shall be due and payable 30
days after the later to occur of termination of employment or the date of the
Change of Control.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a portion of the Per Share Price to be
received by the PRGS shareholders is placed in escrow, paid in installments or
over time, or otherwise deferred for any reason, including in order to fund
potential claims in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty
given in connection with a Change of Control transaction or to be earned and
paid based on conditions to be determined after the closing of the Change of
Control transaction, the Transaction Success Fee shall be based on the Per Share
Price amount actually received by the PRGS shareholders and any increase in the
Transaction Success Fee caused by any post-closing payments shall be paid on the
later of the date set forth above or 30 days after the date of such post-closing
payment to the PRGS shareholders.

          (d) Termination for Cause. If Executive's employment is terminated by
USA (or a successor or affiliate) for Cause prior to the six-month anniversary
of the Change of Control, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any portion
of the Transaction Success Fee. If Executive's employment is terminated by USA
(or its successor or an affiliate) for Cause after the six-month anniversary of
the Change of Control, USA shall pay the portion of the Transaction Success Fee
due under Section 2(c)(i), but Executive shall not be entitled to receive the
amount described in Section 2(c)(ii). To the extent the amount due under 2(c)(i)
has been paid by USA prior to a termination under the condition described in the
foregoing sentence, Executive shall not be required to refund such portion of
the Transaction Success Fee.

     3. Restricted Stock Award. Executive acknowledges and agrees that execution
of this Agreement will also constitute Executive's acceptance of a restricted
stock award of 40,000 shares of the Common Stock of PRGS, the terms and
conditions of which are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein. This Agreement will not be deemed accepted until Executive has delivered
an executed copy hereof to USA's Human Resources Department at the address set
forth on the signature page hereto.

     4. Additional Payments. Upon a Change of Control that occurs on or prior to
December 31, 2005, Executive shall be entitled to an additional payment
("Additional Payment") as follows:

          (a) No Post-Closing Service. (i) Executive shall be entitled to an
additional payment of $600,000.00, payable in equal bi-weekly installments, over
the two-year period beginning six months following the Change of Control if
Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date of a Change of
Control, but Executive is not offered a job following the Change of Control with
USA or its successor or affiliates or Executive is offered employment after the
Change of Control, but the terms of such employment are such that Executive
would be entitled to resign from employment for Good Reason.

               (ii) If Executive's employment with USA or its affiliates is

the prospective purchaser of PRGS,


                                      -6-

<PAGE>

Executive shall be deemed to have met the requirements of this Section 4(a)
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Executive shall have no right to receive any portion of an Additional
Payment, until the actual occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs on or
before December 31, 2005, and in the event a Change of Control does not occur on
or before December 31, 2005, Executive shall have no right to receive an
Additional Payment; or

          (b) Termination in First Six Months. Executive shall be entitled to an
additional payment of $600,000.00, payable in equal bi-weekly installments, over
the two-year period beginning six months following termination of employment if
Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date of the Change of
Control, but (i) Executive terminates his employment with USA or its successor
or affiliates for Good Reason during the six-month period following the Change
of Control, or (ii) Executive's employment is terminated by USA or its successor
or affiliates without Cause during the six-month period following the Change of
Control; or

          (c) Termination in Second Six Months. Executive shall be entitled to
an additional payment of $450,000.00, payable in equal bi-weekly installments,
over the 18-month period beginning six months following termination of his
employment if Executive is employed by USA or its affiliates on the date of a
Change of Control, but (i) Executive terminates his employment with USA or its
successor or affiliates for Good Reason after the six-month anniversary of the
Change of Control but on or before the one-year anniversary of the Change of
Control (the "Second Period"), or (ii) Executive's employment is terminated by
USA or its successor or affiliates without Cause during the Second Period.

          (d) Limitation on Payments. The payments described in Section 4(a)
through (c) shall be paid in lieu of any "severance" amounts to which Executive
would be entitled under Section 8 of the Offer Letter (as such Section is
amended by Section 5 hereof) should the events described above occur. If a
Change of Control does not occur on or before December 31, 2005, Executive shall
not be entitled to any Additional Payments pursuant to Section 4 of this
Agreement, and Executive shall be entitled to only those severance benefits, if
any, payable under Section 8 of the Offer Letter (as such Section is amended by
Section 5 hereof). If Executive terminates his employment with USA or its
successor or affiliates for Good Reason after the one-year anniversary of the
Change of Control or Executive's employment is terminated by USA or its
successor or affiliates without Cause after the one-year anniversary following
the Change of Control, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Additional
Payment under Section 4 of this Agreement, and Executive shall be entitled to
only those severance benefits, if any, payable under Section 8 of the Offer
Letter (as such Section is amended by Section 5 hereof). Executive shall not be
entitled to any payment under this Section 4 if Executive is terminated for
Cause. If Executive receives the Additional Payments pursuant to this Section 4,
he shall not be entitled to receive any severance benefits under Section 8 of
the Offer Letter.

          (e) Acceleration. To the extent that the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 (the "Act") is interpreted to allow earlier payment of the Additional
Payments contemplated under Sections 4(a) through (c), then Sections 4(a), (b)
and (c) shall be automatically amended to


                                      -7-

<PAGE>

delete the phrase "beginning six months" which appears in each such Section and
such Additional Payment under Section 4(a) shall be made as early as the Act
permits.

          (f) Execution of General Release. Executive acknowledges and agrees
that he is not eligible to receive any Additional Payments unless and until he
executes a general release agreement and covenant not to sue, in the form
attached hereto at Exhibit C.

          (g) No Double Benefits. The Additional Payments contemplated under
this Section 4 are intended to replace and supersede any benefits Executive may
be entitled to under Section 8 of the Offer Letter (as amended by Section 5 of
this Agreement) if a Change of Control occurs. If a Change of Control does not
occur, Executive shall be entitled to only those severance benefits, if any,
payable under Section 8 of the Offer Letter (as such Section is amended by
Section 5 hereof). Under no circumstances will Executive ever be entitled to
receive both the Additional Payments pursuant to this Section 4 and the
severance benefits pursuant to Section 8 of the Offer Letter (as amended by
Section 5 of this Agreement).

     5. Amendments to Offer Letter.

          (a) Section 8 of the Offer Letter is hereby deleted in its entirety

     (b) If your employment with PRGS is terminated by PRGS without Cause or by
you for Good Reason, you will receive your base salary and earned bonus for the

for twelve (12) months payable bi-weekly and PRGS will pay the difference
between the current cost of your medical benefits and the cost of COBRA for a
period of twelve (12) months following termination both conditioned upon signing
a release and covenant not to sue. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, you will not receive any other amount in respect of the year
in which termination occurs or in respect of any subsequent years. You will not

unpaid Transaction Success Fee earned prior to your termination. The prorated
base salary and severance payments will be paid in accordance with PRGS' normal
payroll procedures.

     (c) If your employment with PRGS is terminated by your death or retirement,
you (or your legal representative in the case of death) will receive base salary

          (b) Section 6 of the Offer Letter is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced by the following:

     "(a) This Agreement may be terminated by PRGS for Cause upon delivery to
          you of a thirty (30) days notice of termination. "Cause" shall have
          the meaning ascribed to such term in the Change of Control Agreement.

     (b)  Either party, without Cause, may terminate this Agreement by giving
          thirty (30) days written notice. Additionally, your employment may be
          terminated by you for "Good Reason". "Good Reason" shall have the
          meaning ascribed to such term in the Change of Control Agreement.

     (c)  In the event of your Disability, physical or mental, PRGS will have
          the right, subject to all applicable laws, including without
          limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), to terminate
          your employment immediately. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
          "Disability" shall mean your inability or expected inability (or a
          combination of both) to perform the services required of you hereunder
          due to illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity
          for an aggregate of ninety (90) days within any period of one hundred
          eighty (180) consecutive days during which this Agreement is in
          effect, as agreed by the parties or as determined pursuant to the next
          sentence. If there is a dispute between you and PRGS as to whether a
          Disability exists, then such issue shall be decided by a medical
          doctor selected by PRGS and a medical doctor selected by you and your
          legal representative (or, in the event that such doctors fail to
          agree, then in the majority opinion of such doctors and a third
          medical doctor chosen by such doctors). Each party shall pay all costs
          associated with engaging the medical doctor selected by such party and
          the parties shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the costs associated with
          engaging any third medical doctor.

     (d)  In the event this Agreement is terminated, all provisions in this
          Agreement or the Change of Control Agreement relating to any actions,
          including those of payment or compliance with covenants, subsequent to
          termination shall survive such termination."

forth in Section 13, 14 or 15 hereof.

     7. Taxes. PRG shall deduct or withhold such amounts as may be required
pursuant to applicable federal, state, local, or other laws from all amounts
payable to Executive or awards to be made to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement.

     8. Excess Payments. In the event that any payment or award to be received
by Executive pursuant to Sections 2, 3, or 4 hereof or the value of any
acceleration right occurring pursuant to this Agreement in connection with a
Change of Control would be subject to an excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of
the Code (or any successor provision), whether in whole or in part, as a result
of being an "excess parachute payment," within the meaning of such term in
Section 280G(b) of the Code (or any successor provision), the amount payable
under Sections 2, 3, and 4 shall be reduced so that no portion of such payment
or the value of such acceleration rights is subject to the excise tax pursuant
to Section 4999 of the Code. If the amount necessary to eliminate such excise
tax exceeds the amount otherwise payable under Sections 2, 3, and 4, no payment
shall be made under these Sections and no further adjustments shall be made.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no portion of such payment or any
acceleration right which tax counsel, selected by USA's accountant and
acceptable to Executive, determines not to constitute a "parachute payment"
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code will be taken into account.

     9. Confidentiality. Executive covenants and agrees that, during and after
his employment by USA, he will treat as confidential and will not, without the
prior written approval of USA, use (other than in the performance of his
designated duties for USA) or disclose the Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information; provided, the foregoing obligation with respect to Confidential
Information shall expire five years after termination of Executive's employment
by USA.

     10. Records. All records, notes, files, recordings, tapes, disks,
memoranda, reports, price lists, client lists, drawings, plans, sketches,
documents, equipment, apparatus, and like items, and all copies thereof,
relating to the business of USA or its affiliates or the Secret Information,
which shall be prepared by Executive or which shall be disclosed to or which
shall come into the possession of Executive, shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of USA. Executive agrees that at any time upon request from
USA, to promptly deliver to USA the originals and all copies of any of the
foregoing that are in the Executive's possession, custody or control

     11. Executive Inventions.

          (a) Ownership of Works. All Works shall be the sole and absolute
property of Company, including all patent, copyright, trade secret, or other
rights in respect thereof.


                                      -10-

<PAGE>

Executive agrees to and hereby does assign to Company all right, title, and
interest in and to any and all Works, including all worldwide copyrights, patent
rights, and all trade secret information embodied therein, in all media and
including all rights to create derivative works thereof. Executive waives any
and all rights Executive may have in any Works, including but not limited to the
right to acknowledgement as author or moral rights. Executive agrees not to use
or include in Works any patented, copyrighted, restricted or protected code,
specifications, concepts, or trade secrets of any third party or any other
information that Executive would be prohibited from using by any
confidentiality, non-disclosure or other agreement with any third party.
Executive agrees to fully and promptly disclose in writing to USA any such Works
as such Works from time to time may arise.

          (b) Further Assurances. Executive shall, without charge to USA other
than reimbursement of Executive's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, execute and
deliver all such further documents and instruments, including applications for
patents and copyrights, and perform such acts, at any time during or after the
term of this Agreement as may be necessary or desirable, to obtain, maintain,
and defend patents, copyrights, or other proprietary rights in respect of the
Works or to vest title to such Works in USA, its successors, assigns, or
designees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive further
agrees to give all lawful testimony, during or after the term of Executive's
employment, which may be required in connection with any proceedings involving
any Works so assigned by Executive. Executive agrees to keep and maintain
adequate and complete records (in the form of notes, laboratory notebooks,
sketches, drawings, optical drives, hard drives and as may otherwise be
specified by USA) of all inventions and original works of authorship made by
Executive (solely or jointly with others) in the course of employment with
Company, with USA's time, on USA's premises, or using USA's resources or
equipment, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of
USA at all times.

          (c) No Obligations to Third Parties. Executive represents and warrants
to USA that Executive is not subject to any employment, non-disclosure,
confidentiality, non-compete, or other agreement with any third party which
would prevent or prohibit Executive from fulfilling Executive's duties for USA.
If Executive is the subject of any such agreement, and has any doubt as to its
applicability to Executive's position with USA, Executive will provide a copy of
such agreement to USA so that USA can make a determination as to its effect on
Executive's ability to work for USA. Executive agrees to notify the company in
writing before making any disclosure or perform any work on behalf of USA which
appears to threaten or conflict with any proprietary rights Executive claims or
intends to claim in any invention or original work of authorship. In the event
Executive fails to give such notice, Executive agrees that he will make no claim
against USA with respect to any such invention or work of authorship.

     12. Cooperation. Executive agrees to cooperate at any time to the extent
and in the manner requested by USA and at USA's expense, in the prosecution or
defense of any claims, litigation or other proceeding involving the Works, the
property of USA or the Secret Information. Executive agrees to diligently
protect any and all Secret Information against loss by inadvertent or
unauthorized disclosure. Executive will comply with regulations, policies, and
procedures established by USA, including, without limitation, all regulations,
policies, and procedures established for the purpose of protecting Secret
Information.


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     13. Agreement Not to Compete. Executive covenants and agrees that during
his employment by USA and for a period of two years after termination, for any
reason, of such employment, he will not, without the prior written consent of
USA, within Fulton County, Georgia, for himself or on behalf of another,
directly or indirectly, engage in any business for which he provides services
which are the same or substantially similar to his services for USA (as
described in the Offer Letter) to or on behalf of a Competing Business;
provided, however, if the termination occurs on or after the second anniversary
of the date of the Change of Control, the two year non-compete period set forth
herein shall reduce to a one year non-compete period. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that Fulton County, Georgia is the geographic area within which the
Executive performs services for the Company.

     14. Agreement Not to Solicit Customers. During Executive's employment by
USA and for a period of two years after the termination of such employment for
any reason, whether by USA or by Executive, with or without Cause or Good
Reason, Executive will not, without the prior written consent of USA, directly
or indirectly, on Executive's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of
others, solicit or attempt to divert or appropriate to a Competing Business, any
customer or actual prospect of USA, in either case, with whom Executive dealt on
behalf of USA at any time during the 12-month period immediately preceding the
termination of employment; provided, however, if the termination occurs on or
after the second anniversary of the date of the Change of Control, the two year
customer non-solicit period set forth herein shall reduce to a one year customer
non-solicit period.

     15. Agreement Not to Solicit Employees. During Executive's employment by
USA and for a period of two years after the termination of such employment for
any reason, whether by USA or by Executive, with or without Cause or Good
Reason, Executive will not, without the prior consent of USA, directly or
indirectly, on Executive's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others,
solicit, divert or recruit any employee of USA to leave such employment, whether
such employment is by written contract or at will; provided, however, if the
termination occurs on or after the second anniversary of the date of the Change
of Control, the two year employee non-solicit period set forth herein shall
reduce to a one year employee non-solicit period.

     16. Consideration; Remedies.

          (a) Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, by
virtue of the duties and responsibilities attendant to his employment by USA and
the special knowledge of USA's affairs, business, clients, and operations that
he has and will have as a consequence of such employment, irreparable loss and
damage will be suffered by USA if Executive should breach or violate any of the
covenants and agreements contained in Sections 9 through 15. Executive further
acknowledges and agrees that each of such covenants is reasonably necessary to
protect and preserve the business of USA. Executive, therefore, agrees and
consents that, in addition to any other remedies available to it, USA shall be
entitled to an injunction to prevent a breach or contemplated breach by the
Executive of any of the covenants or agreements contained in such Sections.


                                      -12-

<PAGE>

          (b) Forfeiture. Executive acknowledges that USA intends to enforce the
terms of the restrictive covenants of this Agreement contained in Sections 13,
14, and 15. In the event Executive breaches the provisions of Sections 13, 14,
or 15, Executive shall immediately forfeit his right to receive (or shall refund
to USA or its successor to the extent Executive has been previously paid) the
value of the portion of the Restrictive Covenant Consideration allocable to the
portion of the two year time period ($917.80 per day of violation, capped at
amounts actually received by Executive) during which Executive is in violation
of any of such Sections 13, 14, or 15. Executive acknowledges that the actual
damages for any such breach are costly and difficult to estimate and the amount
required to be refunded or forfeited by this Section 16(b) is a reasonable
estimation of such damages. The parties agree that such forfeited or refunded
amount is intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The parties also
agree that the remedies set forth in this Section 16(b) are in addition to other
remedies, including equitable remedies.

          (c) No Defense; Remedies. The existence of any claim, demand, action
or cause of action of Executive against USA or its affiliates, whether
predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to
the enforcement by USA of any of the covenants contained herein. The rights of
USA under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other
rights USA may have at law or in equity to protect its confidential information,
trade secrets and other proprietary interests.

     17. Severability; Construction. Each covenant of this Agreement shall be
deemed and shall be construed as a separate and independent covenant, and should
any part or provision of any such covenants be declared invalid by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall in no way render invalid or
unenforceable any other part or provision thereof or any other separate covenant
of Executive not declared invalid. Whenever there is a conflict between an
applicable law of a jurisdiction which governs the subject matter of this
Agreement and any provision of this Agreement, the affected portions of this
Agreement shall be deemed revised, as to such jurisdiction only, in a manner
which (i) eliminates any invalid, illegal or completely unenforceable provision,
and (ii) as to any provision which is held to be excessively broad as to time
duration, scope, activity or subject, limits or reduces such provision so as to
be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law.

     18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given to one party by
the other party hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be personally delivered (including delivery by overnight or express courier), or
sent by United States Mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested,
first class postage and charges prepaid, in envelopes addressed to the parties
as set forth below their signatures or at such other addresses as shall be
designated in writing by either party to the other party in accordance with this
Section. Notices delivered in person shall be effective on the date of delivery.
Notices sent by United States Mail shall be effective on the third day following
deposit.

     19. Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be
valid or binding upon either party unless made in writing.


                                      -13-

<PAGE>

     20. Waiver. The waiver by one party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision by the other party.

     21. Employee-At-Will. Nothing in this Agreement affects the fact that
Executive's employment with USA is terminable at will by either party, subject
to any notice requirements set forth in the Offer Letter, as hereby amended.

     22. Attorneys' Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to
enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses in addition to any other relief
to which such prevailing party may be entitled.

     23. Gender. All references included herein to the male gender shall be
construed to include the female gender, if and as appropriate.

     24. Assignment; Benefit; Payment to Estate. This Agreement may not be
assigned by Executive and shall be binding upon Executive's devisees, heirs,
legatees, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, or other legal
representatives. This Agreement may be assigned by USA, and the right, remedies,
and obligations of USA shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its
successors and assigns. In the event of Executive's death, any payment that
Executive has earned and to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement,
but which has not been paid at the time of Executive's death, shall be paid to
Executive's estate.

     25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall
constitute one agreement.

     26. Costs Associated with IRS Audit. In the event there is an Internal
Revenue Service audit of Executive's tax returns related to the tax treatment of
Executive's compensation under this Agreement, USA shall reimburse Executive for
one-half (1/2) of the professional fees and expenses (accounting, legal,
appraisal or other consultant) incurred by Executive contesting, disputing,
complying with or otherwise responding to such audit, up to a maximum of
$10,000.

     27. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein and, subject to
the following sentence, supersedes and terminates all previous agreements with
respect to the matters contained herein. Except as specifically set forth in
Section 4(d) and Section 5 hereof, the terms of this Agreement (a) are in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the benefits to which Executive is entitled
under the Offer Letter and (b) shall not be deemed to supersede, amend, or
terminate the any other parts of the Offer Letter. For the avoidance of doubt,
the parties acknowledge and agree that except as expressly set forth herein, no
other aspects of Executive's Offer Letter are, or shall be deemed for any
purposes to be modified. The Employee Agreement shall be superseded and
terminated by the provisions of this Agreement.

your Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the "Agreement"), which provides for
accelerated vesting upon certain events. If you cease to be employed by any of

restrictive covenants will equal:

you are entitled to all of the rights (other than transferability) of a
shareholder with respect to all unforfeited shares underlying the Stock Award,
including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other
distributions payable with respect to such shares after the Grant Date.

WITHHOLDING. Whenever PRGX proposes, or is required, to distribute vested shares
to you or pay you dividends with respect to the unvested portion of your Stock
Award, PRGX may either: (a) require you to satisfy any local, state, Federal and
foreign income tax, employment tax and insurance withholding requirements prior
to the delivery of any payment or stock certificate owing to you pursuant to the
Stock Award; or, in its discretion, (b) reduce the number of shares to be
delivered to you by a number of shares sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of
such tax withholding requirements, based on the fair market value of PRGX's
shares of common stock on the date of withholding as determined under the Plan.
In furtherance of the foregoing, PRGX may, at the discretion of the Committee,
and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the
occurrence of such withholding, permit you to satisfy such withholding or other
tax obligations through cash payment or the surrender of vested shares of Stock
which you already own.

REDUCTION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS. As provided in your 2005 Restrictive
Covenant Agreement, the number of vested shares distributable to you is subject
to reduction to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes
under certain "golden parachute" tax laws. All or a portion of any unvested
shares underlying this Award may be forfeited if certain benefits owing to you
under Sections 2, 3 AND 4 of the 2005 Restrictive Covenant Agreement and other
amounts treated as received by you which are treated as contingent upon a change
of control reach the "Golden Parachute Threshold."

The "Golden Parachute Threshold" is the point at which the aggregate value of
the above benefits, to the extent they are treated as contingent upon a change
of control, would (absent the operation of Section 8 of the 2005 Restrictive
Covenant Agreement) result in the excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any successor provision), being applicable to
the portion of each payment which is treated as an excess parachute payment.

If the Golden Parachute Threshold would otherwise be reached, the amounts
payable under Sections 2, 3 AND 4, of the 2005 Restrictive Covenant Agreement,
including the number of shares to vest and be delivered hereunder, will be
reduced to the extent necessary so that none of the amounts payable under
Section 2, 3 OR 4 of the 2005 Restrictive Covenant Agreement will be subject to
the excise tax. The number of shares that will be forfeited hereunder will
equal:


                                      -23-

<PAGE>

     -    the Cutback Share Value;

          DIVIDED BY

     -    the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock in PRGX on the
          date of the Change of Control.

"Cutback Share Value" means:

     -    the total dollar amount ("Cutback Amount") of the reduction in
          benefits necessary to avoid reaching the Golden Parachute Threshold,
          computed in accordance with Section 8 of the 2005 Restrictive Covenant
          Agreement;

          TIMES

     -    a percentage (which may be anywhere from 0% to 100%) to be designated
          by the Committee, reflecting an allocation of the Cutback Amount to
          this Stock Award;

provided that the Cutback Share Value cannot exceed the total fair market value
of the shares which would otherwise vest hereunder, without further risk of
forfeiture; and the balance of the Cutback Amount cannot exceed the amount of
benefits otherwise payable under Sections 2, 3 AND 4 of the 2004 Restricted
Covenant Agreement.

NOTICES. All notices delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be delivered or sent in accordance with the provisions of the 2005
Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS. Failure by you or PRGX at any time or times to require
performance by the other of any provisions in this Agreement will not affect the
right to enforce those provisions. Any waiver by you or PRGX of any condition or
of any breach of any term or provision in this Agreement, whether by conduct or
otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall apply only to that instance and
will not be deemed to waive conditions or breaches in the future. If any court
of competent jurisdiction holds that any term or provision of this Agreement is
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions will continue in
full force and effect, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended
automatically to exclude the offending provision. This Agreement shall be
subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. No change or
modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed
by the party against which enforcement is sought, except where specifically
provided to the contrary herein. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure
to the benefit of, the permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors and legal
representatives of the parties hereto. The headings of each section of this
Agreement are for convenience ONLY. This Agreement (including the portions
incorporated by reference) contains the entire Agreement of the parties hereto,
and no representation, inducement, promise, or agreement or other similar
understanding between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or
effect, and no party will be liable or bound in any manner for any warranty,
representation, or covenant except as specifically set forth herein.

claims under the Employment Agreement, the Change of Control Agreement or under
any written Company benefit plans, any 401(k) plan, any pension plan and any
similar plan, to the extent Executive is entitled to benefits under the
respective terms thereof.

     3. Release of Unknown Claims. Executive recognizes that he may have some
claim, demand, or cause of action against the Releasees relating to any Claim of
which he is totally unaware and unsuspecting and which is given up by the
execution of this Agreement. It is Executive's intention in executing this
Agreement with the advice of legal counsel that this Agreement will deprive him
of any such Claim and prevent Executive or any Derivative Claimant from
asserting the same. The provisions of any local, state, federal, or foreign law,
statute, or judicial decision providing in substance that this Agreement shall
not extend to such unknown or unsuspecting claims, demands, or damages, are
hereby expressly waived.

     4. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has thoroughly discussed
all aspects of this Agreement with his attorney, that he has carefully read and
fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, and that he is
voluntarily entering into this Agreement. Executive hereby waives the
requirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that Executive has
twenty-one (21) days to review and consider this Agreement before executing it.
Executive acknowledges and understands that he shall have seven (7) days after
signing this Agreement during which he may revoke this Agreement by providing
written notice to Company within seven (7) days following its execution. Any
notice of revocation of this Agreement shall not be effective unless given in
writing and received by Company within the seven-day revocation period via
personal delivery, overnight courier, or certified U.S. mail, return receipt
requested, to PRG-SCHULTZ USA, INC., 600 Galleria Parkway, Suite 100, Atlanta,
Georgia 30339, Attention: General Counsel. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BECOME
EFFECTIVE AND ENFORCEABLE UNTIL SUCH SEVEN (7) DAY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. IF
EMPLOYEE REVOKES THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN SUCH SEVEN (7) DAY PERIOD, EMPLOYEE WILL
NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ANY OF THE RIGHTS AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR
UNDER THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT.

     5. No Assignment. Executive represents and warrants that he has not
assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person,
entity, or individual whatsoever,


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

any of the Claims released herein. Executive agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Releasees against any Claim based on, arising out of, or due to any
such assignment or transfer.

     6. Indemnification. In furtherance of the foregoing, Executive agrees on
behalf of himself and the Derivative Claimants not to sue or prosecute any
matter against any Releasee with respect to any Claim and agrees to hold each
Releasee harmless with respect to any such suit or prosecution in contravention
of this Section 6. Executive understands that if this Agreement were not signed,
he would have the right voluntarily to assist other individuals or entities in
bringing Claims against the Releasees. Executive hereby waives that right and
hereby agree that he will not voluntarily provide any such assistance. To the
extent that applicable law prohibits Executive from waiving his right to bring
and/or participate in the investigation of a Claim, Executive nevertheless
waives his right to seek or accept any damages or relief in any such proceeding.

     7. Representation Regarding Knowledge of Trade Secrets and/or Inventions.
Executive hereby acknowledges and confirms that he has no right, claim or
interest to any property, invention, trade secret, information or other asset
used in the business of Company and that all such property, inventions, trade
secrets, information and other assets used in the business of Company are owned
by Company or its affiliates or licensed to Company or its affiliates by third
parties not affiliated with Executive.

     8. Return of Company Property and Proprietary Information. (a) Executive
further promises, represents and warrants that Executive has returned or will
return to _______________ [IDENTIFY DESIGNEE] by no later than upon the
execution of this Agreement by Executive: (a) all property of Company,
including, but not limited to, any and all files, records, credit cards, keys,
identification cards/badges, computer access codes, computer programs,
instruction manuals, equipment (including computers) and business plans; (b) any
other property which Executive prepared or helped to prepare in connection with
Executive's employment with Company; and (c) all documents, including logs or
diaries, all tangible materials, including audio and video tapes, all intangible
materials (including computer files), and any and all copies or duplicates of
any such tangible or intangible materials, including any duplicates, copies, or
transcriptions made of audio or video tapes, whether in handwriting or
typewritten, that are in the possession, custody or control of Executive or his
attorneys, agents, family members, or other representatives, which are alleged
to support in any way any of the claims Executive has released under this
Agreement.

     (b) The foregoing representation shall include all Proprietary Information
of Company and Company. With respect to Proprietary Information, Executive
warrants, represents, and covenants to return such Proprietary Information on or
before the close of business on ____________________. As used herein,
"Proprietary Information" means information in written form or electronic media,
including but not limited to technical and non-technical data, lists, training
manuals, training systems, computer based training modules, formulas, patterns,
compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes and
plans regarding Company or its affiliates, clients, prospective clients, methods
of operation, billing rates, billing procedures, suppliers, business methods,
finances, management, or any other business information relating to Company or
its affiliates (whether constituting a trade secret or proprietary or otherwise)
which has value to Company or its affiliates and is treated by Company


                                      -28-

<PAGE>

or its affiliates as being confidential; provided; however, that Proprietary
Information shall not include any information that has been voluntarily
disclosed to the public by Company or its affiliates (except where such public
disclosure has been made without authorization) or that has been independently
developed and disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain
through lawful means. Proprietary Information does include information which has
been disclosed to Company or its affiliates by a third party and which Company
or its affiliates are obligated to treat as confidential. Proprietary
Information may or may not be marked by Company or its affiliates as
"proprietary" or "secret" or with other words or markings of similar meaning,
and the failure of Company to make such notations upon the physical embodiments
of any Proprietary Information shall not affect the status of such information
as Proprietary Information.

     9. General Provisions.

     (a) This Agreement and the covenants, representations, warranties and
releases contained herein shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
Executive and Company and each of their respective successors, heirs, assigns,
agents, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and representatives.

     (b) Each party acknowledges that no one has made any representation
whatsoever not contained herein concerning the subject matter hereof to induce
the execution of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the consideration
for signing this Agreement is a benefit to which Executive would not have been
entitled had Executive not signed this Agreement.

     (c) Executive agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the consideration hereunder shall not be disclosed to anyone and shall
remain confidential and not disseminated to any person or entity not a party to
this Agreement except to family members, legal counsel, an accountant for
purposes of securing tax advice; the Internal Revenue Service, or the state
taxing agencies.

     (d) The "Effective Date" of this Agreement shall be the eighth (8th) day
after the execution of the Agreement by Executive.

     (e) This Agreement does not constitute an admission of any liability.

     (f) The parties hereto and each of them agrees and acknowledges that if any
portion of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by a final
judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not
affect the balance of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect. Any such invalid portion shall be deemed severable.

     (g) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified or
waived in any way except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the
parties hereto consenting to such modification or waiver.

This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under
the internal laws (and not the conflicts of laws and rules) of Georgia.
